I am writing what my elderly mom told me, as she does not use a computer:…read more "Dr. Farinpour was a very comfortable person to work with. She is very down to earth, sincere, congenial, smart, knowledgeable, kind, and empathetic. During my neuropsychological interview and testing, she made me very comfortable. Everything was straightforward and made easy for me to respond to. I feel I was lucky to have her. It was like I was with a friend. She brought out the best in me and made me comfortable to tell her things. There were no hidden agendas. She is an amazing and extraordinary woman. (Another neuropsychologist I had previously worked with did not make me comfortable at all and wasn't friendly.) Dr. Farinpour was very efficient and prompt in completing the detailed report and getting it to my neurologist in a timely manner. I was very impressed with her and would highly recommend her."

Dr. Hugh and Pamela Chilton are a tremendous gift in my life!…read more They are so knowledgeable and have countless tools to help me with my personal development and overcoming many challenges. Also Dr. Harmon can channel guidance from Higher Spirit. Pamela uses hypnosis and NMR to help me get my answers from my Higher Self. The benefits I received from past life regressions, hypnosis, erasing false beliefs and replacing them with positive programs is making a powerful impact on my daily life! My belief in myself has increased, my confidence and general feeling of calm and satisfaction has also grown. I have learned to love, like and respect myself and no longer involve myself in negative relationships. I felt lighter having shed so many negative programs. I also learned how to do the erase and replace technique on my own and this is an extremely valuable and helpful tool that you taught me! I benefit so much from our private sessions together. Your compassionate and intuitive guidance help me gain clarity and insights from my higher self with NMR and your powerful hypnosis is worth more to me than anything money can buy. I definitely look forward to another in-person session next time I'm in your area. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Pamela and Dr. Harmon! You two give me so much encouragement, strength and support - you two are life-changing!

A review of our relationship with the firm of Kelly and Kasey…read more My wife and I are parents of a son with special conditions. These conditions became apparent only recently and baffled our son's school officials and us. In spite of many parent/teacher meetings and to our dismay, our son's struggles continued and even worsened. Less than a year ago, we lost my father - our son's grandfather - and we attributed this to his difficulties. However, much to our heartbreak, our son continued his downward path. It was at this point that my wife and I decided to seek professional help. Desert Marriage & Family Counseling was strongly recommended to my wife through her valley business network. We met with Kelly Lewallen, LMFT, and were greatly impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and manner in which she explained a very delicate condition. Her handling of this heartbreaking episode in our lives was nothing short of miraculous. She was introduced to our son and quickly established a rapport with him that was kind, gentle, and reassuring. Moreover, she gently but firmly assured two worried guilt-ridden parents where the root cause of our son's difficulties lay. Needless to say, my wife and I were much relieved to finally know the real cause of our son's issues. Kelly then brought to bear her professional staff member, Kasey, to begin setting up a plan that recognized our son's condition and would allow him to fully utilize his scholastic skills and lead a full and satisfying life. Kasey immediately connected with our son and he was enthusiastic about his school plan. When we met with school officials, staff member Kasey accompanied us to present the plan she had drawn up as well as answer questions raised by the school officials. Currently, the school district is evaluating this plan but we are very glad to see that our son has re-engaged his schoolwork and is doing much better. None of this would have been possible but for Kelly, Kasey and the Desert Marriage & Family Counseling, Inc. We owe them a debt of gratitude that goes beyond mere words. Joanne and Ric M.

I had contacted this behavioral health group to see if I could get couples counseling for my…read morehusband and I. When I spoke with Iris she said she would check for any availabilities and unfortunately there were no providers available at that time. I guess I made sort of a distressed sound since the process of trying to get a counselor had been going on for weeks and had been very frustrating but she told me that she would look up our insurance and see if she could find any doctors that maybe we hadn't heard of before and would text that information to me. She texted it less than an hour and a half from my phone call and I was sincerely surprised because literally do I do not usually speak to such nice people and then they do me a favor, a big ask, without even me being their customer. To be honest on my very first phone call we were able to get a therapist and we have an appointment with next week, and an appointment a week for the next month. I felt that Iris went way above and beyond for somebody she didn't even know and those are the kind of people that should be rewarded and thanked and normalized. Thank you Iris for all that you did, especially for a faceless stranger on the phone.

Have been to 6 previous Psychiatrists & Sleep Drs for Sleep Studies and prescriptions based on the results. None of the previous Dr's were able to help me in the least. Dr. Connelly listens intently to your symptoms & concerns, and researches for the best option to address your problem. Since 2019, I normally have only slept for 2 hours each night, then the rest of the day have had zero energy making me feel horrible both physically and mentally. He prescribed me meds and last night I slept 9 hours uninterrupted and feel like a new man!!! His Assistant, Joelle sees you in the exam room before the Dr, taking information from you and relays it to him in a manner which gives him more time to do research in order to help you quickly. The Dr's Wife Jessica is the Receptionist and along with the Dr. & Joelle, all are sincerely friendly, empathetic and extremely helpful. I could not be any more grateful for the help I've received and the way I was treated.

I am a professional business person, with numerous calls throughout the day have no idea what that return number was. The appointment was 4 weeks into the future and honestly, expected a call to be reminded. None came. Four days after the appointment the receptionist did call and scolded me for not showing up. I explained she did not call back nor did I get a reminder call, which I was hoping for as I had no idea where this office was, or the therapists last name (sorry, after 6 months waiting I could not recall). The receptionist was very rude, insulting, and went on 5 minutes scolding. I asked to speak to Ms. Cortland which is when she hung up on me. I am upset about this incident, and find that the receptionist has a bit of a power trip going on, it should not be left up to her to decide if Ms. Cortland speaks to me. I absolutely will not be going to see Ms. Cortland at this point-the 6 month wait was ridiculous and the idea not to call clients with a reminder call, unprofessional. I can not endorse this person, and feel duty bound to warn un-suspecting readers.
