A Balanced Approach to Counseling 1660 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125

"You and your program has failed to adopt a moral and ethical responsibility for a fair practice towards your program participants. Your program has a history of negligence, and misconduct, in which clients were wrongfully accused, and charged through the courts on account of your establishment's practices . I assume the name change is a result of your institutes agenda in the past.I understand you are in business for a profit, yet you have no empathy, or consideration for anyone with a hardship, or a lost loved one. Profit, in my opinion is a priority with "A balanced Approach" and the clientele it serves and the curriculum it teaches are below par in its instruction. I've witnessed clients threaten by instructors with jail, removal from the program, calls to probation officers, and other such like threats for very minute offenses, Some clients just didn't have the money because their pay period did not coincide with the day of class and were threatened with receiving a negative report to the courts. The instructed curriculum consisted of out dated VHS videos with poor picture, and audio, and an instructor who comes to class 1/2 hour late and dismisses us a 1/2 hour early. Often times the instructor is not present in class but for a fraction of the time. I feel that I was dropped from your program because of a break down in communication and a policy of "A Balanced Approach" that changes it's bi-laws for the benefit of its owners. I am a dis-grunted client and I believe i was treated unfairly. I will accept my consequences and deal with my situation according to my P.O. and the courts, however, I believe it is my duty to expose your institutions practices, and negligence to the proper authorities and seek legal assistance in righting this wrong."

"the women pictured above assaulted me with her body by pushing me with it and bumbing me with it since being heavy set she uses her weight to push ppl around, she had also verbally harassed me followed me out of class and left the scene once she knew the cops were called, she is unprofessional and feels she can speak to u in any way because if the class u are in, the teachers here are no better they try and tell you or diagnose you with no proper education or being a doctor they will disrespect u and feel it's ok cause you have to be here..."

"Didnt hate anything or anyone i just felt that staff should not assume anything until we have presented the facts just as they ocurred and alleged victim is allowed to tell their side . This often never takes place because victim has left perp for good in many cases and rightfully so in my opinion. ill give victim the benefit ofdoubt. in addition we, the alleged wifebeaters shoul be allowed a minute measure of dignity if not tolerance ehike we strugle to right our monumental mistakes and pain thrust on our beloved families. this takes time courage lots of patience and empathy for us perps.in the rnd the goal is family reunification if possible anf most important that us men start behaving like men and give all women their rightful place respect etc. Women specialy Mothers are the most precious God given grace in the universe along with children . so its worth watever it takes to teach us who stumble and fall to walk upright again following rules set forth by our Creator whomever She may be to you. what is a mothers love worth? not enough riches in the universe never will be. Staff is excellent in my opinion but only Allah is perfect we will never be we need to try anyway. Much love to Emily who steered me in right path shes worth her Italian weight in gold. God bless."

"This woman pictured here is Sallie Danenberg AKA Sally Ann Danenberg. Her business name was changed from A New Beginnings to the present name...A Balanced Approach to Counseling to hide her past fraud charges. Sallie Danenberg made a false charge that a woman whom finished her course and never received the awards of completion, forged her signature and the woman was arrested and spent time in jail, later released. The defense attorneys picked up the documents from Danenberg and questioned the court..."are you saying we forged those documents?" The court hearing ended and the woman was not charged. Danenberg is now in contempt of orders made by a judge in court and will be in civil court to answer for her fraud, contempt and misconduct. Danenberg has stopped the reunification of 3 children and their innocent parents for over 5 years. The parents are innocent and this woman claims that no one is innocent and they don't have any rights. This woman is also a social worker hired by CPS. You will not see this unless you go to the DV counsel board that is over her on the internet where her info is there for the public to see. She is a former prostitute and is proud of her former profession. There is much more on this woman. I do not recommend that anyone should seek counseling from this person. If you do and have children, they will be at risk since she is a mandated reporter and is a social worker pretending to be a private business owner. Respectfully and truthfully."
