I consider myself fairly particular about whom I work with in any setting, but especially so in therapy, and I have no reservations about recommending Dr. Dicken wholeheartedly to anyone in search of counseling on the Westside, or even remotely. In addition to her strong fundamentals - pattern recognition, ability to link the past to the present, clear memory for people and events - Dr. Dicken brings both a calming warmth and a wry sense of humor to her work. She also possesses a broad range of intellectual reference points, which makes her a more universally accessible therapist. I appreciated how we were able to build a strong relationship - complete with conversational shorthand, vulnerable and honest communication in both directions, and the occasional (or even frequent) jokes. While working with Dr. Dicken, I made significant strides in several key relationships with both friends and family, as well as in my professional life. Obviously these changes were not her doing, but having her there to work through obstacles and concretize action plans was a significant help. I ended my engagement with her in December of 2019 because I felt confident that I could succeed in my short- and medium-term goals without additional therapy, thanks in large part to the work we did together and the tools I developed in those sessions. Finding a therapist is a very personal process, but I believe Dr. Dicken has a broad appeal and is well worth consideration for anyone in search of a down-to-earth and thoughtful counselor.

Pretty quickly, he guided me through a meditative visualization in which I was in nature, doing activities that put me into my flow.

I left the session feeling much more connected to my flow with more clarity and a focus on what would feel more "heartful" than "viral." I'm feeling excited to get back to sharing my story, raw, real, and me--how I used to--versus the polished version in which I was being guided to by others.

I experienced what I can only describe as negligence and incompetence at best, and cruelty and callousness at worst. After months of building trust, she informed me that I would need to return to a residence where abuse occurred as a child in my adult life or "end up on the streets." She made this statement to an employed adult, earning a six-figure salary in corporate America, seeking therapy to address these painful issues privately. When I respectfully confronted her about her odd statement in session, she dismissed my concerns, accusing me of being "triggered" by her comment about living on the streets. I pointed out that I had never seen any research suggesting that therapeutic progress improves by returning to environments where abuse occurred. I also explained that if she didn't believe in me as a person, there was no reason for me to continue paying hundreds of dollars a month for therapy. I could easily find someone who believed in me--and wouldn't charge me for it. I'm sure I could also find people who didn't believe in me, for free. Her response was to scream at me saying "I made a mistake," and, only after the fact, admit that it was a mistake. I ended the relationship, but after much thought, I feel it's important to speak out. My hope is that others can avoid the anxiety, betrayal, and wasted time I experienced.

Dr. Bahador is great - truly cares and takes her work seriously…read more We were seeing mixed learning patterns with our daughter (advanced in some areas and slower in others) and thought it might be related to her eyes. After many visits, questions, and tests, two pediatric optometrists said everything was fine. But during her assessment, Dr. Bahador immediately suspected the same issues we were seeing at home. She referred us to another pediatric ophthalmologist for detailed testing. That referral changed everything. They confirmed our daughter had physical eye-tracking challenges that were affecting her learning, not her ability. It was the only thing holding her back. This was missed twice before, and it could have hurt her confidence as she starts learning to read. She also helped us think through a plan and shared school options that fit our daughter's learning style. We're very grateful for Dr. Bahador.

Working with Maya has been the single most transformative thing I've done in my life. I've worked…read morewith Maya over the last 3 plus years and it's hard to imagine what my life would've been had I not met Maya. Maya's approach to therapy is holistic with an emphasis on family systems. She gave answers to questions I've always wondered about myself as well as shed light on things in my life that I didn't realize were impeding my growth. I came to her with a whole host of issues in my business and personal life, issues that I thought were impossible to solve. She welcomed those problems with open arms and we tackled them one by one, getting to the root issue of each (most of my issues stemmed from the same root problem, go figure) and my life has done a complete 180. Can't say I've gotten emotional from writing a yelp review before but it's hard not to when someone has helped you at such a deep level to turn your life around. So if you're reading this and you're on the fence, take this as a sign to reach out to Maya, my only regret is I wish I would've worked with her sooner.

I've worked with Sasha Carrion for nearly 5+ years through completely different seasons of my…read morelife--business expansion, emotional blocks, physical trauma, fear, and major life transitions. Sometimes we've worked briefly on one issue; other times, consistently for months. Every time, I'm amazed by how quickly and deeply her work affects me. I've experienced talk therapy, journaling, mindset and spiritual work, and other healing modalities before hypnosis. All valuable, but Sasha showed me that understanding a pattern and actually changing the subconscious belief underneath it are two very different things. I am extremely analytical. I can analyze a problem from twenty directions and find twenty more. Sasha is one of the few practitioners who can meet me at that level without allowing my analytical mind to become an obstacle to healing. She knows how to get underneath it. Most recently, we worked weekly for 4+ months during one of the most destabilizing periods of my life. I was experiencing deep depression, recovering from a traumatic plastic surgery experience, and simultaneously dealing with an escalating HOA legal dispute. It affected my mind, body, recovery, home, and sense of safety. At the beginning, I could go from hopeful to terrified within minutes. Sasha didn't just tell me everything would be okay; she helped my subconscious begin to feel safe again. As new fears appeared, we addressed them before they became permanent beliefs. Eventually, I watched myself respond differently. Things that months earlier would have completely destabilized me happened, and I found myself thinking, "Okay. We'll handle it." And meaning it. Actually feeling calm. The external circumstances eventually began resolving too--far beyond what I believed was possible. But that isn't even the result I value most: The journey to the resolution did not destroy me. When I couldn't access faith in the outcome, Sasha could. She would tell me, "Borrow my faith." And I did. She held a vision of healing, safety, and resolution until I could believe in it myself. Empty reassurance doesn't work on me; Sasha's words have power because there is genuine conviction behind them. She understands me and is genuinely invested in helping me move forward. I trust Sasha deeply and respect her intelligence, intuition, compassion, and mastery of her craft. She validates what I'm experiencing while helping me change the pattern keeping me there. I've also realized I don't want hypnosis to be something I use only when something is wrong. I think of Sasha as an exceptional trainer for the subconscious. We train our bodies to become stronger--why wouldn't we give our minds that same support? There will always be new desires and expansions revealing new blocks. Sasha helps me move through them instead of building my life around them. Working with her is one of the most valuable investments I've made in myself--not simply because she helps me resolve problems, but because she has helped me become someone who moves through problems differently. And if you're skeptical about hypnosis, I understand. It has never felt like surrendering control of my mind. It feels like communicating with the part of my mind influencing me all along. You can consciously know you're safe while your body feels unsafe; you can understand a pattern perfectly and still repeat it. That gap is where this work can be transformative. 5+ years and countless limiting beliefs rewired and goals achieved later, Sasha is an invaluable part of my support team and someone I recommend wholeheartedly. She is a powerful healer, gifted hypnotherapist, and deeply intuitive and compassionate human being. She has held hope, calm, and possibility for me until I could hold them myself. Perhaps the greatest evidence that this work works is that I've needed to borrow those things less and less. The greatest compliment I can give Sasha's work is this: It changed the version of me who was going through it. And once that version of you changes, everything else has the opportunity to change too.
