I've been working with Marina for over 6 months now and I am truly grateful for the work we have…read moredone together, specifically the shift in my thinking I'm experiencing as a direct result of her suggestions and feedback. I was very skeptical of talk therapy - this wasn't something I really wanted to do! But it seemed apparent I needed to try something new and I'm laughing now at my stubbornness. Marina has been a wonderful listener, and although sometimes just that sounding board is enough, she is **much, much** more than that. I feel motivated, challenged, and inspired by our sessions. She's given me new perspectives and ideas that I hadn't considered before. She isn't afraid to give me honest direct feedback that challenges me, but she delivers it gently enough to help me hear the message. That is what has been the most helpful, knowing and trusting that she's going to engage with me on such an honest level, regardless of how she thinks I may feel or react. She is a fun problem solver and super creative. Lastly, I'm excited to start bringing my husband to a few sessions with me. She's highly trained in the Gottman method of couples therapy/marriage counseling and I feel very confident this will be a game-changer in our relationship, just as our one-on-one therapy has been a game-changer in my personal life.

I cannot overstate the impact Marina has had on my life. Over the years, she has supported me…read morethrough profound grief, major life transitions, and the ongoing realities of raising a child with special needs. What sets Marina apart is that she doesn't just listen with deep compassion--she provides real, practical tools that help you navigate life and solve problems in meaningful, lasting ways. Her guidance is thoughtful, grounded, and immediately usable. I leave sessions not only feeling heard and supported, but equipped with strategies I can apply in my day-to-day life. Marina has a rare ability to balance empathy with clarity, and I always feel respected and never judged. Working with Marina has been truly life-changing, and I am deeply grateful for her support--and for the care and skill she brings to this work.

Seeking a quality therapist can bring up some nervousness as one hopes to find someone who will…read moredeeply and thoroughly understand them, and one who we feel comfortable opening up to and being vulnerable. As a therapist myself, I was in search of a professional to help me see the things I couldn't see for myself. A professional to ask the "appropriate" questions to surface the real issues that I had longed to release. I also desired to work with someone balanced - meaning not just strictly scientific in their approach but spiritual as well. I was only able to see Aileen for a brief 2 months or so, but as my intention was set to "be well", and Aileen understanding the short duration we would have together she provided the necessary work for me to release attachments to the past, fears and also helped me to find my voice, step up and step out into the world to fulfill my purpose in life. I appreciate Aileen for the quality of work she provided for me and the variety of techniques she used. It wasn't always just sitting on the couch and talking but there was interactive work involved. I appreciate having something to take home and work on from one session to the next and Aileen offered a variety of practices, meditations, visualizations and other suggestions that I could pick and choose from... or not, if I so chose. I recommend her services to anyone seeking an understanding and effective therapist. One who holds a space of love, openness, and yet directive. I also encourage anyone to join her Meditation Monday class as I also found new insights into freeing my "Self", new friends and community there as well. Aileen is a 10+ and I am forever grateful for the freedom I experience in the present. Thank you, Aileen Nealie :) Cheers, Howard

I have been seeing Aileen for almost 2 years now. She has helped me through an extremely…read morechallenging part of my life, and did so with compassion and understanding. She took the time to get to know me and built a therapeutic and ETHICAL relationship based on trust and respect. Before becoming Aileen's patient, I was seeing a very dysfunctional and abusive therapist and was extremely anxious, depressed, and lost due to huge boundaries violations. At the very first session I felt a real connection with her. She was so genuine and I felt that she really cared about me. She did not judge the mess my life was in, but rather gave wonderful perspective to me about the choices I was making. Aileen, thank you for being such an important part of my life. Thank you for developing a therapeutically healthy and ethical relationship with me. You are truly healing one soul at a time! Love, S.

I don't usually write reviews, but Wildwood Recovery absolutely deserves this. Walking through…read moretheir doors was one of the hardest things I've ever done -- and one of the best decisions of my life. I came in struggling with alcohol and feeling completely lost. Today, I'm sober, clear-headed, and genuinely excited about my future, and I owe so much of that to the staff here. From day one, the team at Wildwood made me feel seen and supported. They don't treat you like a number or a diagnosis -- they treat you like a person. The counselors are compassionate, knowledgeable, and real. They don't sugarcoat things, but they also don't judge you. They helped me understand my addiction, rebuild my confidence, and create a plan that actually works in the real world. The groups were powerful, the environment was peaceful, and the whole facility felt like a place where healing is actually possible. I learned tools here that I will use for the rest of my life, and I left with a level of hope I haven't felt in years. If you or someone you love is struggling with alcoholism, I can't recommend Wildwood Recovery enough. They changed my life -- truly -- and I'll always be grateful.

I had no idea what to expect going into therapy and was really nervous. But from the initial phone call to set up an appointment, Linda was extremely friendly and funny--just what I like in someone who I can cry about my life story to. ;) During our initial visit (almost a year ago now, but who's counting?), I'd brought her a list of everything that bothered me. I was just so relieved so be able to have someone to talk to about everything. She immediately helped me to change my though process, and deal with my anxieties. She's very good at digging down to why you feel how you feel, and how to get a positive outcome from it. Linda is extremely resourceful and has always been able to answer any questions that I have. She really goes the extra mile to help (she's made phone calls and given me information for various things) you with what you need. I am so grateful for all of the help Linda has given me because I feel like such a different person since I've first started seeing her. I always look forward to our appointments. Thank you Linda!!

My review is long overdue:…read more I was attending a DV program in LA County for several months, then started a new job In Ventura County which conflicted with my weekly class schedule. I searched and found Westlake Village Family Services. I explained to Dr Kaufman that I completed a certain amount of classes and didn't want to lose the credit. From the get go he was extremely helpful, explained the classes are in the evenings and conducted by his wife Rhonda, forwarded me all the paperwork so I can continue my DV classes that same week. I really looked forward to Rhonda's classes , I appreciated the fact that she took time to ask each of us how our week has been, asked us about any updates with our cases that we wanted to share, and all the ladies in the class were so welcoming. It really felt good to have a safe place to talk about all the unfortunate things that were going on, when I couldn't discuss them with my friends or family. Each class she did exercises with us that helped me gained a lot of insight. I was also court ordered to do individual therapy and asked Dr Kaufman if he had any availability which luckily he did. Dr Kaufman is truly one of a kind because he is invested in his clients success. For almost two years he has helped me tremendously with my DCFS case always listened, guided me, helped me stay positive, and truly wanted me get my son back. Even when my case was getting complicated he reminded how far I came to getting my son back. He is extremely knowledgeable and helps you see things from different perspectives. I can't recommend Dr Kaufman and Rhonda enough to anyone who needs to do DV classes or needs individual therapy. Both of them truly care about each and every persons success.

Over the past six years, Dr. Frank has helped me navigate a wide range of challenges, including parenting my son, my marriage, my business, and, of course, my own mental health. With her guidance, I've overcome many obstacles and grown as a person, a mother, and a business owner.
