Linda:

I wanted to thank you for helping me along-- I know that I am where I am largely due to you and your amazing work.  I don't know whether I ever would have overcome my anxiety, deal with past demons, and get through so many other life issues if you weren't there holding my hand and encouraging me.  I really consider myself blessed for having you in my life. 

Norita:

Dr. Westwood is one of a kind

Dr. Westwood is very good at what she does. She's the only doctor that was able to really help me with my deep seated issues. Her hypnotherapy really worked wonders for me. I was having a lot of trouble letting go of my anger but she helped me confront that anger. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Westwood. She's very caring and is one of the most geniune people I've ever met. I would recommend her to anyone with a history of depression.

Dan:

I met Nahid Westwood the first time with several reservations about therapy. I had never seen anyone for my problems and so the idea of opening up to a complete stranger just seemed strange. Many of my initial impressions about therapy in general were based on what I'd heard from others. Frankly, very little seemed all that encouraging.

Which is why when I say that meeting Ms. Westwood changed my life, it sounds all the more strange to me. Because I can think of a number of rather profound ways in which it is true. I've never known anyone who so perfectly balances her extraordinary compassion with her uncanny ability to break down a problem into its constituent parts. Her open-mindedness in trying various therapies seems always in a state of forward motion; it supports my belief that she truly, continually, wants to help others, and always looks ahead to better ways to help. Some of her techniques are part of the current convention, and others are new, often evolving strategies and therapies. She seems well-aware that a single approach is not always effective therapy when dealing the burdens and complexities of a person's past and present life.

During the course of a lifetime there are probably only a few people  whose influence you might say saved your life in some fashion. Dr. Westwood stands unquestionably within that small circle of influences in mine. I have recommended her to several friends. Most of them have prior experience with therapists. Each, without exception, shares my enthusiasm.
