I missed my consultation appointment due to an unexpected emergency and unfortunately wasn't able to notify the office until the following day. They called and offered to reschedule me for that same day, but because I have a very busy work schedule, I wasn't available. I emailed them with my availability so we could find another time that worked. Instead, I received a call telling me I would need to seek treatment elsewhere because I had "missed my appointment and emailed the next day." I found this response incredibly disappointing, especially from a mental health provider. Emergencies happen, and I was actively trying to reschedule and seek care. I would expect a mental health practice, of all places, to handle situations like this with a little more understanding and compassion. read more

Mary is unbelievably helpful, super patient in making sure my insurance was covered. First time receiving therapy.

Calling in was the first red flag. The woman who answered the phone sounded irritated as soon as she answered. I was just calling to ask about an estimate for cost of service with my insurance. I knew I would probably have to wait for them to verify my insurance, and maybe have to call back. The woman sounded even more annoyed as if answering my questions and simply writing down my insurance information was an inconvenience for her. Her tone was rude, and I should have just hung up on her but I'm not a rude person, so I didn't. I was still kind while speaking to her. Being a place that provides care for people with serious mental health conditions, you would think they would be considerate enough to provide care and compassion for anyone calling. As a potential patient, and being a therapist myself I will not be reaching out again, nor would I refer any of my clients here. read more

Great psychologists! Easy to drive to and lots of parking. Empathetic staff. I recommend this staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Harris for years. He is what I want and need in a therapist. He is the standard by which I judge other therapists (5 stars). Dr. Harris has helped me with my depression and even helped me with my short-term disability paperwork. Center for Behavior Medicine has had a positive impact on me, helping me live a happier, more fulfilled life. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking help. Unfortunately, the office staff can be hit or miss, so one star off for that, but I don't go there for the office staff, I go there for the doctors. read more

Dr. Harris has helped our family to such an incredible degree. His aid has allowed us to get back on our feet and move forward as a functional unit. Thank you Dr. Harris -Villarruel Family read more

I have been working with Travis Mead from time to time over the years to deal with anxiety. One of the things that I find so impressive about Travis is his ability to listen to your issues and and synthesize them in a way that brings clarity to what is really driving your anxiety. I really like that is up-to-date on the latest treatment methods for dealing with your problems. I have used various treatment methods with great success. I highly recommend Travis Mead. read more

Psychiatrist , the psychiatrist is not the problem, it's the business office. A man in charge name's is Marco and we have been having problems with billing at this office for over 15 years!!! He claims it's not him that's it's the office staff, well I don't know but it's a mess!!! They don't have proper technology service! It's outdated, the building is ancient, probably built in the 1930'S They don't want to set up modern technology there, I guess because it's too expensive or they are afraid their lease will go up ?? read more

Dr. Cooper has been helping my teenage son. He is observant and patient. My son feels comfortable to speak and feels heard about how he feels. We are happy with the progress my son is making. Front staff is very friendly and appointments are easily made. read more

I have seen a few therapists before coming to Center for Behavior Medicine and since seeing Dr Michael Harris, I have been very pleased with the care I have received. I found Dr Harris to be caring and compassionate . I felt really listened to and supported. After a short time of therapy sessions, I was able to function and I am feeling back to myself. As a result, my relationships with others have improved and I am living a happier life. Thank you CBM and Dr Harris for being there when I needed you. read more

I have been going to this office for a while, and have not had any complaints about it. The office staff is always happy and helpful. The girls always answer my questions with a smile. I have been fortunate to be working Dr. Harris and recently Dr. Wang. They are both very thorough in their assessment. I am so thankful that they take the time to listen. The medication prescribed by Dr. Wang was just what I needed to live a better life. I'm very confident with Dr. Harris and his therapy techniques. What I appreciate is that he discusses many different options I can use. Mental health treatment takes time to heal what demons that ail us. But I know that when I hit a speed bump in life that Dr. Michael Harris is always there to help me get back onto the right path again, I would recommend this clinic to others needing mental health treatment. My experience has been a very positive one. read more

Just no, look elsewhere if at all possible. I saw Travis Mead and I'm still in therapy trying to recover from the trauma there while in therapy. He shared confidential information with my family member (I am an adult). Still dealing with the repercussions. read more

Archaic office which is horrifically unorganized and insensitive to customer service. Same issues as everyone previous, no call back and then they missed a phone appointment. No ability to call them because at 1:30 all I was able to reach was their after hours message service read more

Dr. Cooper is a JOKE. He asked me some questions related to depression/anxiety. Then he said I had severe depression with idk what. He tried to make conversation with me, but didn't even try to get to know me. He asked for a reason as to why I was there & strictly went off of that. It was horrible to sit through all of the awkward pauses in between. My appt was at 3pm. I arrived there early to give me time for the paperwork. He called me in around 3:10pm & I was out of the office by 3:30pm, I thought sessions were an hour? Afterwards, he took me $20 copay like WHAT DID I EVEN PAY FOR??? SILENCE & TWO HANDOUTS. This guy needs to go bc he sucked. read more

The receptionists are TERRIBLE!!! The doctors at this facility might be awesome, but dealing with their incompetent office staff makes coming here a nightmare. The receptionists are rude and shouldn't be assisting clients. They misplace paperwork and God forbid you ask questions. Their line is constantly busy and when you finally do get through they put you on hold for serval minutes until you hang up. read more

the facility is painfully outdated. they only take cash or check. Im not even sure the building is up to code and it smells. The doctor i saw was too old to be in practice. He had a hard time hearing, and really who wants to shout at a therapist office... All he really did was fill out the same forms i filled out before i went in to see him. All I needed was a psychotherapist, but they have a policy that you have to see a psychologyst before they book you with one. So i did, when I showed up for my next apt, it turns out they scheduled me with the wrong doctor (same old guy). I wasted so much time waiting for his appointment and made the 20 mile drive from home for nothing. Sure they were apologetic but that means dick to me. This is not the place to go if you really need treatment, they should close this place down before they inadvertently screw someone up. Stay away, don't waste your time read more

If I had read the reviews here in advance I would of avoided this place from the beginning, the receptionist here is horrible & the doctors seem so busy that when you need paperwork done or anything as soon as possible. They don't get back to you! Every receptionist you talk to will tell you the same thing, we'll give you a call back today or tomorrow morning but they never do! Try another place. read more

This place is cash only. Not dinging this place for that. Just a disclaimer. This is my first time going to therapy ever. I scheduled with someone who was supposed to be experienced in LGBT relationships and instead was assigned someone who didn't even introduce himself to me. Was the other therapist not there despite me scheduling him? Did they double book? Anyways, I figured it's my first time so I'll just start fresh with this other guy. This therapist starts writing stuff down and I'm just sitting there clueless as to what's going on. He later explains it's documentation for insurances. As I'm sharing my issue, he's clueless as to what to say and there's these long awkward moments of silence. Long story short we get nowhere and he walks me out so I can give my copay xz... What just happened?? read more

Good morning This review is long overdue. I have been helped in many areas of my life through the Center For Behavior Medicine. Dr. Michael Harris has been life changing in the support and help I have received with a severe eating disordered and social anxiety. Travis Mead MFT has been exceptional in teaching me many ways to calm my over anxious thoughts through biofeedback, meditation and mindfulness. Dr. Wang has listened to me and has been able to prescribe the medication that helps me with depression and anxiety and at the same time allows me to live my daily life without any restrictions. The office staff are always so kind in answering my questions and being helpful. It is the help I have received from the Center of Behavior Medicine that has changed my life. I have only positive experiences from all of them. I highly recommend this practice to anyone needing help managing any part of their life. It takes a team effort on all sides, both the doctors and the patients seeking help. It has been an up and downhill road and not easy at times. The more I have put into my therapy the more I have received. I am beyond grateful for the life I live today. Sincerely, Patti R. read more

DO NOT SEE DR.TRAVIS MEAD. BEWARE!! First off, he came out to find me already filling out my new patient paperwork since no one had greeted me. Instead of introducing himself, he went into the back and from what I could hear, he heated up water to make himself tea, used the restroom, sent some text, and all the while I was sitting there waiting....with my paperwork done. He finally came to get me almost 10 minutes AFTER my appointment time and I had come 15 minutes EARLY. During the session, He cut me off multiple times. He would randomly talk about unrelated things that had nothing to do with my session. He actually spent half of our session trying to convince me I have suppressed memories of my uncle molesting me. He tried every angle to make this true even after I reassured him that is not the case. He actually used a song as a reason he thought it could be true. He said the song was about a man who molested someone and it was the same name as my uncle. He said he believes in "synchronicity in life, soooo". Are you kidding me? You are going to base your professional opinion on a coincidence. I told him something very personal and his response was "In my 35 years in the business, I have never heard of that. That's very strange." I sat there stunned.... isn't it his job to make me feel comfortable and safe? He made me feel foolish for things I shared. I am a very open person and was trying to share as much as I could in the session to give him a better understanding of my background. Since I wouldn't take his theory about my suppressed memory, he told me I needed to be medicated so that I wouldn't be so hyper for therapy.... He had only heard me talk for 20 minutes and now I need to be drugged? Sounds like he wanted to implant a random memory so that he could take my money for several session to coach me through something that never happened to me. He was so unprofessional I couldn't believe it. I have never had such an awful therapist experience. He is the kind of man that makes all therapist look bad. I am trying not to let this prevent me from even believing in the potential of good therapy. read more

Avoid this place! I went here for a year. Too many girls in the office and no one can seem to make an appointment. I would come in and then be told I was wrong because I had the wrong time so I had to pay out of pocket for a no show fee!!!! The worst is how the billing idiot fraudulently billed my insurance company for my supposed visits too their OC office which I never went too which then made my allotted visits go over and he billed me directly over $500.00!!!!! My insurance caught it all thankfully!!!!!! Also reamed him a new one for illegally filing fraudulent claims PLUS trying to bill me directly. It was a nightmare. Regarding the Therapist I found her too be nice, helpful but my god Green and very sheltered. I can list some other unprofessional things that happened with this office but the ones I mentioned are enough. read more

Been going to Center for over a year and it has really helped me get thru a rough time. The staff is always so nice and professional. read more

I've been going to Dr. Harris, Dr. Wang, and Travis Mead for about five months now and they have been wonderful! I am especially impressed with Travis Mead who has helped me so much and is an expert in many different treatments. He's a specialist in dissociative identity disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and many other things like eating disorders and anxiety problems. He's endlessly patient and really listens, I'm so grateful to have found him! There are a couple of things that aren't great but they have nothing to do with the doctors: 1) The receptionists are difficult to deal with. 2) They do not accept credit cards. 3) They don't have any email access. 4) The building is ancient. 5) They change $70 for last minute cancellations. However, even with those five things, I wouldn't hesitate to seek help here. The doctors and therapists really care and go out of their way to help. read more

Worst experience ever. From first phone call to actual appt. Save your time, money, and insurance benefits if you have them.

I saw Dr. Cooper for possible ADD. He brought out a book, read directly from it, & gave me a yes/no quiz under 20 questions. I was told I have ADHD & that I'd have to book an appt a month ahead w/Dr. Justice to get the prescription. Seriously, read out of a book (felt like a quiz from Cosmo) & forced 2 appointments? Seems like they want my $. Outdated office too. read more

Terrible clinic. First off, they don't accept online payments or payments over the phone. Their payments have to be cash only and in person. This is incredibly frustrating as no other medical clinic I've seen is that outdated. Second, Dr. Barbara Justice is not meant to be working in mental health in my opinion. She's very rude and will talk to you as if you're stupid. I actually had anxiety even going to see her during my most recent appointment. A mental health clinic should by no means be agitate your mental health. I have not felt comfortable talking with her for a long time. Lastly, the one time I tried to set up a therapy session, my therapist was a doctor well into his 80s and seemingly partially incoherent. I felt no connection with him to discuss my issues because he seemed to be running on a lag or delay if you will. So that was money wasted. In conclusion I will never return to this clinic and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

This Place is a JOKE!!! At a time where help is needed for my daughter, I cant believe they refused an appointment for her. They asked me to bring $160 cash although my insurance covers this. They are FRAUD and i am going to report them to BBB and Medical Board. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE.. ITs a waste of time. read more

Dr.Barbara Justice is the most unethical, unprofessional and inconsiderate psychiatric Dr I have ever known.. I have been seeing her for 6 months, a total of 4 visits, I get brought back late every time, spent 10 min with and NEVER EVER get a call back if I have any questions between appointments, two months ago she prescribed me Zoloft above the recommended dosage which my pharmacy wouldn't fill because my insurance wouldn't cover it unless she wrote a letter explaining why, of course she did not do the letter, and didn't do anything at all as a matter of fact.. I have spent the last 3 weeks calling a couple times a week and she has not called me back, her girls tell me they page her and get no response.. she was on vacation the whole month of May, what Dr doesn't have another Dr on call and just leaves their patients hanging? I have now been off my Zoloft medication for 9 days and confirmed she's back from her vacation for the last couple days but still will not return a call, I am infuriated and will never return! I will also post this review on every site or social media platform possible to make sure nobody else ever has to deal with this process because it's been nothing but a pain in my ass! So dissatisfied read more

It's an extremely outdated building and needs a makeover. My review is for Dr. Wahba. Every appointment I had with her she was always late. Talk about being professional for a supposedly professional job. I found her to be quite arrogant with a strong feminist agenda. Apparently, she works with relationship therapy, but has never been married. I found it difficult working with her as she didn't really care to help me, but more interested in rushing through our session. She has 10+ years of experience not that it matters since she was quite sub par. read more

I have been a patient for some time and work with the front desk and a lady named Hazel. She has always helped me and has been very kind. She is always been there to help me. Ariana has been helpful also. The building is old but the people are good read more

I came to this center after firing my former psychiatrist, who was incredibly rude. I've been seeing Dr. Harris and Dr. Wang for several years now. I have always felt supported. Scheduling has never been a problem. It's a very welcoming place, and the office staff are efficient and courteous. read more

Very good service! Doctors and receptionists are always very helpful and will answer any questions professionally and respectfully.

I only wish you had minus stars, that is how bad our experience with this group was. Dr. Blaufarb does not listen to the patient or the parents. My grandson has since been diagnosed by a reputable and well known psychiatrist. I truly believe Blaufarb should have his license revoked, he was so negative and rude. It's hard to know just how much damage his counseling has caused. Do not go to this psychologist! read more

Avoid at all cost. We took our child to see Dr. Blaufarb. We got not help. This was a waste of time and money. AVOID.

If I could give this facility a negative 5 stars I would. DO NOT waste your time with this place. They DO NOT care about their patients, at least not Dr. Rim. The first time I made an appointment for my daughter I waited a month, on the day of, as I was pulling into the parking lot I receive a phone call that Dr. Rim had an "emergency". They assured me that this was rare for her, that she was very professional, caring, etc. So dumb me goes and reschedules for a month later and I call them this time about 5 hours before my daughter's appointment, just to confirm, and wouldn't you know it, she had another "emergency" and it would be another month to reschedule. When I wanted to speak with someone in charge, they gave me to some young inexperienced "office manager" who wouldn't give me anyone's name, number, e-mail, etc. so that I could make a complaint and ensure who I was speaking to. I received an "I'll have someone call you back." Which of course, no one ever did. Avoid the insanity, stay away from this place! read more

Avoid this place. The therapist want you in an out and will straight out say "it's not my job to help you". I came here in confidence to see these so called "professionals" when they conduct themselves In Very uncaring manner. I came here about four times and three of which my therapist was over 15 minutes late. I felt like I was being intimidated and put down during my session. This female dr. Was not interested in my problems, she told me to talk and once I was finished she gave no advice and just stared at me. I wanted to get out of the room asap. She said "is that all you have to say?" And said that it's not her job to make me feel better. She will not offer any advise or ask any questions, nothing. If you already feel depressed you will feel worse after seeing this lady. Just avoid this place. They will not help you or even try. BUT they will take your money. You might as well pay them and leave. You will feel better. read more

The office is completely outdated. They're still using paper charts. If you've seen one of their doctors and are referred to another, you have to complete all paperwork again. Appointments are kept on a ledger... this office moves in slow motion read more

I've been going to this place for awhile, and have not had any complaints about it. Office staff are always happy and helpful. I feel lucky to be working with Dr. Rim. She is very thorough in her assessment. I am so thankful that she ordered lab tests before starting medication. I really like that she talks to our daughter and not just the parents. The first medication was right on target and I'm very confident in her decision making. What I appreciate is that she discusses many different medication options (that we could look up for next time) since we are new to starting medication. I would recommend this clinic to others needing mental health treatment. Our experience has been very good. read more

I have been nothing but impressed with the care that I have received from both the center staff and Dr. Rim in particular. She has helped me with my issues thus far and has started me on the right medication for my anxiety and depression. I am also pleased to be able to have time to spend with a medical doctor that handles mental health issues and not only speak to a therapist, especially since I am doing well on medication. The waiting room is always full as well so I'm taking this as a good sign that the patients are liking the care they receive as well. read more
