Dr. Aarons has been such a huge blessing to me and my family. She has given me tools that I will…read morecarry for a lifetime that bring healing and confidence. I struggled with severe anxiety, due to traumatic events in my life that left me searching for someone who would understand me and show warmth and caring throughout my healing process. She helped me find my confidence and my voice again. I'm so glad I found her and would highly recommend her.

Please do not schedule an appointment with this women, and please read the reviews which are…read morehidden. She is the most rigid, uncaring "professional" I have ever interacted with. She cares nothing about helping people except enforcing her 72 hour cancellation policy and blabbing about how she "wrote a book". When I tried to explain to her that I have a chronic pain issue and have a very difficult time traveling, she couldn't care less and was extremely condescending. It was honestly the most upsetting experience interacting with her on the telephone, and I can't even imagine going to her for any sort of assistance during a difficult time. Please stay away from her. In response to Rachel: I didn't FAIL to show up. I called with three days notice and CANCELLED the appointment. You refused to let me cancel and stated you were a professional and were going to be paid for your time. Saying I did not show up on your billing statement is a LIE. With the help of the Grieving and Counseling Services of Santa Barbara Hospice, I have reported your unethical billing practices to the Behavioral Sciences Board of California. I can only hope the other "disgruntled" persons do the same. ****For the "disgruntled" individuals, here is the link to report Rachel Aarons. https://www.breeze.ca.gov/datamart/loginCADCA.do;jsessionid=47076E95B7BA00B45535EF60592598C2.vo7 Scroll to California Board of Behavioral Health Sciences, then scroll to Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Then write your complaint The website will time-out without warning, so write your complaint up in a program and copy and paste it into the window. It is a fairly easy process, and I highly recommend you do this instead of being extorted to pay for services you cancelled/didn't receive.

Bobby is one of the best couples therapist I've ever worked with. His work with us has not only…read moretransformed us as a couple but helped us both grow as individuals. He is so skilled, very intuitive, kind, insightful....just a perfect therapist. Even though the original issue that brought us into therapy has long since been worked out we keep going meeting, going deeper, working through those deep, hard issues that effect all facets of our lives. Even though it is exhausting sometimes it is always worth it. I really can't recommend Bobby highly enough, we feel so fortunate to have found him.

For anyone looking to try EMDR, I highly recommend Amber. In addition to being an expert in her field, Amber is highly intuitive, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to helping her clients meet and/or exceed their goals.

To varying degrees of "success," I have seen several therapists over the past couple decades for…read moreissues that I wanted to address. Recently I found Jamie, a breath of fresh air. His compassion and patience helped me feel deeply understood, both as a person and particularly as a MAN. Together, we honestly explored what was really going on inside me and my issues without letting me off the hook (though I tried!) Stuff that went back to my rough childhood, issues around being a veteran and my current struggles with fatherhood. Jamie is supportive, clear, engaging and professional. I feel extraordinarily lucky to have him in my corner.

Horrible experience. Definitely biased toward the man in the relationship and against the woman…read more Talks about his own life way too much and god forbid you're a dog lover, he will tell you all about his Shutzhund trained German Shepherds as if that's the norm. If you're a woman, steer clear...anything you do that goes against his male dominated bias will be "wrong". Caused way more damage than help. When he tells you that marriage counseling is "hard" he means it's hard if you're a woman that has her own beliefs. No therapist should ever tell you it is wrong to self soothe in a non destructive manner just because it upsets your spouse. And before he says I was never a patient, I definitely was, I just use a pseudonym on here.

This therapist is incredible, the best I have ever been to…read more My husband and I went to her for about a year for our marriage issues. She was very helpful, especially to me individually but also to our marriage. She kept us together and able to talk through things. She also helped me see myself in a whole new way, and as a result, I came to understand and love myself as I hadn't before. She is gentle, patient, kind, funny, smart, helpful, you name it. She loves feedback, does not get offended, and works with you how you want to be worked with. She's there to help and serve you, not put you through a pre-determined program. I can't say enough nice things, nor recommend her highly enough. If you are a sensitive, fragile, or misunderstood person, she is an especially good fit. If you like to say what you need and or even just that you don't like what's happening, she will listen, and help you. If you are looking for someone very militant, quick to diagnose, or brutally honest without wasting time developing trust and relationship, you might not be 100% satisfied with Debbie. However, if you asked her for more structure, emphasis on diagnosing, and tell her you don't want/need "babying," she would probably be up for that. I can't say for sure, I just know that she took every request I ever made into consideration, and adapted to fit me. If you know you need a really firm hand, and don't trust yourself to ask for it, you might be better off looking for someone who is already more geared that way. But if you, like me, need a trusting, respectful, and flexible relationship with your therapist, and a "gentler touch," she is absolutely perfect. Good luck finding a therapist!
