Tamika and her colleagues are AMAZING!! I highly recommend this place. I come from an extremely…read moredysfunctional family. In life, I choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect and I only surround myself with people who are good for my mental health, heart , and soul. You do not always have to forgive and you don't always have to forget! Sometimes, once the bridge has been burned ... there's no fixing it. As long as you know what's best for you , nothing or nobody can make you feel bad especially when they play victim. I've distanced myself from all of this and I pick and choose who I want in my life. I can't control who will try to come back into my life after years of damage and with them bringing in negative energy so what I do is I will walk away! That's the best. No words , no need to explain A THING, but to just move forward by walking away and it will place them in their place . Some people aren't good and unfortunately will find a way to try to connect with you when they see you as an opportunity for them to benefit from. And when they expect for to you to vibe with them a certain way they expect and expectations aren't met, YOU ARE now the WEIRDEST, YOU ARE now A HORRIBLE PERSON, YOU THINK YOURE BETTER than them. This is called gaslighting and playing victim. I don't play this. Above are examples of what this place has helped me go through with my personal issues . Don't hesitate coming here to speak with Tamika.

5 stars does not cut it for this amazing woman's work…read more I found Tamika by sheer luck. I say this because it is EXTREMELY hard to find a decent therapist/life coach/social worker (you name it), let alone an incredible one since they're almost mythical or non-existent like unicorns. After meeting with constant terrible therapists who clearly did not care for my well-being (more so for his or her paycheck), I somehow was blessed with landing a session with Tamika. After my first session I felt so surprised. I had finally found the unicorn that I was searching for my whole life! I am currently enrolled in a Marriage and Family therapy program, so I wanted someone to truly help me find my path and purpose as well as heal me so that I can be an effective therapist myself. Well, Tamika did that and much more. Tamika helped me heal in ways that I cannot even fully put into words. Tamika guided me to find my soul and my passions in life. Tamika also helped me IMMENSELY as an up and coming therapist. She validated my concerns and reignited my soul again. I truly feel as though I am a changed woman and that I am stronger than ever and I felt this change in me within the first 2-3 sessions. Tamika helped me grow as an independent woman, improved my love life, guided me in the career and other ventures, validated me, and made me feel safe. It's amazing what a great healer with amazing guidance and coaching in all aspects of life can do for someone...and Tamika is the epitome of it all. I promise you, you're in more than good hands with Tamika. You're in spectacular hands with her

She is an excellent, warm and caring psychologist. Meeting…read moreher has changed my life tremendously. Her guidance, advice and encouragement has led me to places I never thought I would go. I found her during extremely difficult time in my life that I couldn't pull myself out of that hell without her. She has given me several skills and techniques to help with whatever I needed to cope with at that time, made everything smooth and helped me to find myself again. She is different in many ways, since the first session, each time after Seeing her I felt so much improvement in myself. She is not like others , just want to talk to you ,with her knowledge not only you will be heard but also she guides you so you can get most of each session.she is so responsible about her clients and she is so professional. Also because she is a Medical Doctor too I highly recommend her to clinicians because, she can connect with you very well and she understands the challenges you face in your carrier path. Having both knowledge of medicine and psychology makes her a unique psychologist you can trust. She is a beautiful human being, a real human being !! Highly recommended!!

Christine has been an invaluable resource for our family for almost 10 years. She works well with…read moreboth adults and children. As an adult therapist, she's more like a really good friend who also happens to know everything about the human mind -- like a walking encyclopedia of the brain! When it comes to children and teens, she's a total kid whisperer. She works through play, so younger kids don't even realize they're in a session. When working with teens, she meets them at their level and never talks down to them. We've worked with her on and off over the years whenever an issue arises or just for ongoing maintenance of family dynamics, and can't recommend her enough!

I actually gave up on looking for another therapist for a while thinking that they would all be the same. I was wrong. When I found Christine, I simply just informed her how my other sessions w the other therapists have gone and what i didn't like and she went another way that would suit my needs better. Christine has been there for me and she always goes above and beyond. She has helped me through so much and continues to help me w so much. I have a session every other week and I truly look forward to them. She is so real and down to earth which I respect. Please look no further and contact Christine. I'm sure she will not disappoint you.

Thank you Therapist Michelle Sherman for being my Therapist during our weekly sessions since 2021(5…read moreyears). The reason I met you was due to suicidal and homicidal ideations. And childhood trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Because of your due diligence, commitment, caring heart and therapeutic processes I prevailed and overcame the triggers from the trauma. You remained consistent in my treatment and gave me a reason to live and want to live and not just exist and encouraged me to continue using Self care routinely and consistently. Your focus of therapy has been to support my emotional well-being, coping skills that kept me focused on my purpose and destiny and not focused on the problems and pain of the past, personal growth, and overall mental health needs. You taught me not to look back, think back, or feel back. But you encouraged me to look, think and move forward to accomplish my DESTINY Thank youuuu and may God Bless you and your precious family.

Having dated some half dozen psychotherapists over the decades and having been obliged to see some…read moreother half dozen by my insane family, I distrust psychotherapist simply because most of them are nuts and the LA-based ones seem intent on legitimizing bad behavior in their patients. However, the lingering trauma Palisades Fires brought me to Michele's doorstep for EMDR which she miraculously used to lift the trauma. But so many other things were happening with my family that I continued seeing her and she is a lifesaver. Unlike all the other therapists I have found Michele to be intuitive, willing to work out of the box to come up with solutions, and personally invested in my getting better. I cannot recommend her enough...indeed she is the only therapist I've ever encountered who I would recommend.

As an…read moreactress in this crazy industry, I've faced my fair share of ups and downs, and finding the right therapist has been a journey. Thankfully, I got some amazing recommendations from fellow showbiz folks, and I'm so grateful for that! I loved that Dr. Kaluga is incredibly professional and truly knows her stuff. She creates a safe space where I can be open and honest about my struggles. Great Minds provides sessions via telehealth, and I really appreciated that because it saved me a lot of time not having to drive anywhere. I could also squeeze in a session during my lunch hours. Her advice and support have really helped me deal with the pressures of the industry and find balance in my life. If you're in need of a therapist who gets the unique challenges we face in show business, I highly recommend Great Minds and Dr. Julia Kaluga.
