River Pines Counseling Reviews
The Whole Package
Darcy has completely transformed my life. Her expertise in counseling, executive coaching, and well being have drastically improved my self awareness, my marriage, and my career. I am endlessly grateful for her patient and detailed approach to each topic we cover. From the very first session, I felt safe and supported to conquer the thought patterns that had made my life difficult to face. I have come out of the fog of trauma and post partum to feel more connected to my family and myself than I have in years. I can not recommend Darcy enough to anyone looking to make a real change.

Wonderful Therapist – Highly Recommend
Starting my therapy journey with Darcy has had such an impact on my personal and occupational growth over the past 10 months. Prior to starting therapy, the amount of anxiety and stress I was feeling at work was starting to feel unmanageable. I was thrilled to find Darcy and see that she has extensive experience with healthcare providers, so she would understand some of my specific struggles. Darcy has taught me how to make my career a long lasting one, “a marathon, rather than a sprint,” by coaching me on how to avoid burnout. My anxiety is more manageable now with lots of tools and strategies that Darcy has taught me. This has opened space for me to grow as a leader in my position, feel confident in my communications with clients, and be a happier person outside of work, which has allowed me to be more present in my personal relationships. I would highly recommend Darcy to anyone who is looking for a therapist.

Darcy is absolutely amazing. She listens with empathy and compassion, and provides coaching and insight based on many years of experience and training. It is not an exaggeration to state that she has changed my life. I cannot recommend Darcy highly enough.

Excellent care for Healthcare Providers
Darcy is everything I have been looking for in a counselor, and more! As a healthcare provider, Darcy is excellent at helping me navigate life at work and at home. It has been so refreshing to have someone who truly listens and dives deep into issues to fully address them at the core. She is empathetic, caring, and truly kind but also provides constructive feedback for growth. Darcy wears many hats and has pertinent background experience which she can apply to each session according to what is needed at the time. I love the in-person sessions, as their office is warm, inviting, and a quiet space for open discussion. Overall, I would highly recommend Darcy Stivland and River Pines Counseling.

Passionate about her clients
What I love about seeing Darcy is that you don’t have to feel like therapy is reserved for only those with the most traumatic cases. I look at her like a “thinking partner” that helps you flourish in all areas of your life. Her approach is down to earth and rational, that I find refreshing. Her attention to detail and passion for her clients is reflected in the beautiful office she built. She has a warm and inviting personality that makes you feel at home, and most of all, is passionate about helping her clients achieve a better version of themselves. For a lot of people I can’t think of a better investment.

Darcy cares deeply about her patients and I have felt no exception during my weekly therapy visits. I’ve been scared to go back to any kind for almost a decade now and she has made those fears dissipate. Not only have I felt listened to, which is so so important, but I’ve been reminded of some deep truths behind CBT I’ve needed for a long while. Would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated therapist who cares about those she works with.

Darcy guided me through the most difficult time in my life. She is a great listener and shared her insight, both of which helped me tremendously.

I have been seeing Darcy now for a month and a few weeks. She has helped me tremendously already with dealing with so many things involving anxiety, postpartum anxiety, and past medical trauma. I never thought I would seek help to sort out my mental health without doing it on my own, but I have learned now that it can and will get better with the help from Darcy. She has given me so many tools to rely on when I am struggling, and they are working. She is very easy to talk to as well and reassuring!! I’m so thankful to have her help me through this time in my life.

Although I’m not a client at this time, I feel it’s relevant to share a character review. I’ve known Darcy for years and met her father and professional partner Rod recently.
Their modern office is warm, welcoming and inspiring, and I feel it would be easy to relax with them there to discuss “the topic of the day” with these trustworthy professionals. Respect, creativity and a positive attitude were apparent from the first smiles they shared with me!
