Our child is a "prickly" and wonderful non-binary/neuro-divergent student who has a hard time fitting in at their elementary school. After ongoing difficult conversations with school staff and the challenges of parenting, I was just exhausted and confused. Richa was kind and validating. She helped me see the situation from a new perspective and appreciate my strength as well as my child's. She also named aspects of the issue I had never thought of, for example, the way my child will learn to relate to institutions as a whole as they grow. I left the interaction feeling better about my own parenting and my child's abilities, and with an action plan I felt good about. After that the tone of communications with the school shifted and improved. If you have a struggle, Richa can help- she sees the world from a place most of us have never been.

Dr. Hunanyan is fantastic…read more I've had a few in person sessions with her, and she also offered guidance with my medication and other challenges over the phone with no charge. In both circumstances I felt heard, supported and encouraged. She is quite busy but when she is not available she, or someone from her staff gets right back to me. Her staff is super friendly, efficient and helpful. In-person sessions always leave me with a great feeling, and in one situation where she felt like she may not be the best to treat me, she offered several recommendations and connected me with other professionals. This is someone I trust on a personal and professional level and can't recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking help, wisdom and guidance.

Before she made an appointment with me, she was curious to know what wasn't working in those sessions and what I was looking for. She nailed it.

Jessica has been an absolute healer in my life. To be completely honest, I am 4 months into…read moretherapy, and I feel like a different person than I was before. It's funny, a lot of people hesitate to speak to a therapist because they feel "they are fine." Yes, you can be fine, but you still have the capability to learn, grow and broaden your ways of thinking. Little did I know... I'm all about insight and perspective - Jessica flows with that. I've told her certain things I'd like to work on, my hardships, my good times, and moments that were challenging for me. I'm not going to lie, these conversations were foreign to me because I've always been the type to talk to others about how they feel, not really ever about how I feel. She genuinely cares about the shifts I want to make in life and guides me through it - it changes the game! Jessica has a powerful energy that really makes you want to conquer goals that you're working towards. She is a wonderful listener and gives the right amount of challenge to better my ways of thinking, being, and reacting. She is there any time I need her, judgement free, ready to deliver. I learn more about myself after every session with her, and am grateful to have found her especially during this crazy time!

I cannot imagine anyone going to this office in need of actual help because the staff is absolutely atrocious. I wish I had the courage to stand up to the bullying and abuse I experienced after my father's sudden passing from every single person who worked in this clinic. There was legitimately only 1 therapist who took the time to check in on me at work and understood how difficult it was to work in such a place while trying to grieve. I'm glad to hear it's owned by a different company, but if any of the doctors and staff are still affiliated with this practice, then I would avoid it all costs. I should have sued for wrongful termination and still would if it were within the statute of limitations.

Why I chose a Psychiatrist over a Psychologist is because their MD specialty allows them to teach their patients about the science of the brain and its effects and connections to the body and to the emotions. In addition, they share recent studies and their own research with you in order to help you understand your dilemmas and/or condition. Dr. Penciu clearly understood my dilemma and immediately began giving me tools to reach resolve. He has excellent bedside manner and I highly recommend him. Sincerely, Christine G. Padua

She has taught me how to use empathy and validation as a tool to deescalate conflict and I no longer take things personally the way I used to. She teaches me to stay mindful of my reactions and has helped me figure out my triggers so I am now aware of when I am prone to react instead of respond to a situation. I have seen Dr. Zograbyan for several years now, and with her help, I am no longer emotionally dysregulated. She also is very knowledgeable in DBT therapy and with her help I have learned many skills that assist me to live a life worth living. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to take control of their life and emotional reactivity and not be at the whim of emotions.

After two and a half months of therapy, I regained clarity and a newfound sense of self and confidence. She is kind, receptive, patient, and takes the time to ensure that you receive the best care possible with her. I never felt like I was at a therapy session, nor did I ever feel rushed to leave. She's passionate about what she does and it shows. Not only did I learn to cope with my anxiety and PTSD, I was also able to take the things that I learned and apply it to all aspects of my life. If you are ever in need of counseling or therapy, no matter what the situation, Dr. Roza Zograbyan is your best choice.

She sent a text message, and I read it --curt and to the point, no hello, just her request. Then she undid the send and changed it, but it was too late --I had already seen what she wrote. Considering all that I am experiencing and need help with, I let it go and kept the appointment. I will trust my instincts from now on. She arrived at the virtual appointment and seemed bothered. She referred to some assessment as if I should have completed it before the session. I didn't receive any notice or advance notification. I could tell from her tone, looks, and annoyed behavior that she was not the right fit. Possibly, she is suitable for some, but not for people who present and look like me.

Whenever I have a "sticky" personal issue, I search for the type of therapist I think can best help me get "un-stuck" and begin moving forward with my goals and development process. This time around, my "issue" was creating a good deal of anxiety for me. Logic and intuition told me that hypno-therapy could be the answer. I researched different hypno-therapists in my area (as you are doing now), and was pretty impressed by the positive reviews for Clarice Barkhordarian. Too good to be true? Even with high expectations based on the reviews, I have been "blown away" by Clarice's skill, and the efficiency of the hypnotherapy method! I walked away from the first session feeling significantly calmer, and started sleeping better that first night. After 5 sessions, I am managing the situations and interactions that that had felt so paralyzing only weeks before. I am able to access essentially all of my intuition and interpersonal skills to cope what life (and family) is throwing my way. Needless to say, "your results may vary." Like I said, I've been working on personal growth my whole adult life. Your situation may require more time. But I am telling everyone I know about Clarice, and encouraging people who share their struggles with me to invest in this service. There is no doubt whatsoever that I will be calling Clarice the next I am getting triggered by life. That in itself is reassuring!

I am seeing a therapist but I feel like I needed something more and I need it NOW. I did my research about hypnotherapy (which made me scared but excited) and found Clarice on yelp. Let me tell you this, IT'S THE BEST DECISION that I've done for myself recently!!! I reached out to her and we spoke on the phone a few days ago and she explained the process and everything that I need to know. She asked me what I wanted to get out of this and told her what im going through. I immediately felt comfortable with her so I booked my first hypnotherapy. I got there early to make sure I find parking. She welcomed me and felt right at home. We worked on one issue today which led to the life changing event. It gave me a different perspective. She also gave me suggestions while I was in my subconscious state. I felt so relaxed and calm that I can tell the difference with how I felt after (and this is just the first session) which I havent felt in the last 2 weeks. This is what I needed! Today was a day full of crying for me (which has been the norms lately) and my session with Clarice was not an exception. I was able to let it all out to the deepest core (tapping from my subconscious mind). A lot of the emotions were being released. I cant wait for our next session. I feel like this first session was equivalent to several sessions with my regular therapist. If you have issues that you need worked on (jealousy, honesty, anxiety, and other bad habits) Try her out and you won't regret it! I am looking forward to more sessions with her. As for her pricing, it's actually not bad. I've looked around and found a lot that charge more.
