I have gone through some serious difficult emotional issues over the last several years resulting…read morefrom many things, including my wife's multiple-year terminal illness and the death of 4 extremely close people in my life, including family members, all within one year. I finally decided I needed help to understand my feelings and to see if there were a way to pull myself out of the deep grinding morass in which I found myself. I wasn't sure there was. Dr. Pedersen showed me otherwise. I started seeing him at Kaiser where he was the head of his area and followed him into his private practice. I am so glad I did. Dr. Pedersen has an ability to understand one's suffering and to link it to a way out. He can allow one to understand the impact of the emotional shells exploding around one's head; how to protect from further issues, to the extent possible; and how to begin the process of repairing the damage. His extensive knowledge of therapy, as well as his knowledge of other avenues of treatment, permitted me to understand myself much better. I could see the destructive nature of certain actions I was allowing to be inflicted upon me, and I was armed with a defense mechanism. I've never taken so many notes since I was in school. And, he has the ability to convey his knowledge in a way that is understandable and can be applied in one's daily life. He gave me guidance that I applied regularly; things I never would have thought of. His therapy just works, at least it did for me. I am a much changed person. I am happy and joyful most of the time now. He got me out of some dark places. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Definitely. If you have issues, you need a therapist who can take you through them and show you the way out. Dr. Pedersen did it for me. From a personality side, he has a great sense of humor, he is never mean or derogatory, and he truly has a desire to help his patients. He is bright, funny, and caring. I only have the highest of respect and gratefulness for Dr. Pedersen. I don't even want to think where I might be without him. I highly recommend him.

(03/02/25) DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS WOMAN!!! SHE'S TOO…read moreBUSY!!!!! and she's RUDE. A counselor is supposed to create a safe space to talk and have each party open up amongst other things. She was shrewd (Not respectful) and yes, seemed "too busy" (mentioned over and over that she had other people that wanted help) or "too popular" to help our family after we ALREADY on-boarded with her! We decided to go with her and yes do paperwork to get us signed up. Again her bedside manner is RUDE and our whole conversation lasted maybe 5-7 minutes. Respect is a two-way street and I did NOTHING but try and obtain services with this person just have them be judgmental about me within less than 5 minutes. And again mention over and over that she had alot of other people that wanted help. Is this how most therapists talk to patients on an initial call????? People don't get on here to complain just because. We all have very busy lives and would rather be doing something else than calling a professional out for being RUDE and wasting peoples time. She was POINT BLANK discouraging towards me. She mentioned several times she ONLY works with clients that want to save the marriage and that she has a alot of other people that need her help besides us..... on our first telephone call. Yikes!!!! My husband and I wouldn't have done all the paperwork and kept calling YOU for a session if we weren't ready...... She was condescending and wanted to make sure we were ready to do "the work", which I said I was willing to do. We even waited almost a month to even talk to her and made sure to fill out all her required paperwork...... Again worst Therapist I've ever encountered. Not caring, not supportive, talks down to patients and people looking for her help, just not nice or helpful in anyway ..... Do yourself and your spouse a favor and find another therapist. Very Biased. Not a neutral therapist at all. I was simply looking to work on communication and wasn't even given a chance to speak about any real issues or have a real session. I've done therapy before and this has horrible. Hard pass!!!!!!!!! RESPECT IS A TWO WAY STREET. WHICH IS WHY WE DECLINED TO WORK WITH HER AND ALREADY FOUND ANOTHER MORE QUALIFIED THERAPIST. Her credentials mean nothing if she cant hold a respectful and meaningful conversation with people - maybe she needs more up to date training. I'm sure she graduated A LONG time ago. Yes maybe she was a good therapist and once was nice and helpful therapist long ago - but her most recent reviews are in FACT bad and rightfully so! ***Update: (03/04/25) She also came on here a day later and tried to lie/bash me and say that I was using "accusatory language" and that she declined to work with our family when in fact I DECLINED HER SERVICES after how RUDE she was on the phone - what kind of counselor does that on a first call!???? 18 years of experience .....You think she might be a little nicer to people on the phone looking for her help. I do want to save my marriage but not with this woman's help. She did NOT respond to me KINDLY, and in fact I DECLINED TO WORK WITH HER after the way she spoke to me after 5 minutes. Go ahead and giver her a call and see for yourself. Make sure you trust who you have come on board to help you and your spouse. I never have been talked to like this in my life by any doctor or therapist. I will be Filing a complaint with California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Horrible treatment and dialogue. Plus we already found another therapist on-line and HE was very helpful and took the time to meet with both my husband and I. Good luck to anyone else out there looking to work through stuff in your marriage, dont just go with anyone especially this lady! Update: 03/10/2025: This woman came on here again and tried to defend her rude behavior and again make false claims. For someone who is too busy to help others - she has alot of time to come on here and keep making remarks about me... AGAIN DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME CONTACTING THIS THERAPIST. I've already found help elsewhere and it was truly a blessing in disguise.

With COVID restrictions she has made herself available by phone, video and text conversations and we don't feel alone in resources that she provides after each appointment.

Carol has a gift for helping you sort through issues and challenges to get to the root of where it all started, giving you a greater understanding of why you do the things you do in life. She doesn't mince words and gives you a very straightforward approach to tackling issues you are dealing with. That is what has helped me the most. It has been helpful in my personal life and in my relationship. My girlfriend (now wife) and I were able to learn a lot more about each other and how to work through conflict. We owe a lot to Carol for helping us get past some trials that may have ended our relationship if we had dealt with them the wrong way. For first responders, Carol has real insight into our careers and the stresses we deal with. She knows what she's doing and can help with managing the baggage that all of us bring home from work. Several of my coworkers have also gone to see Carol and have had great experiences with her.

Her facial expressions said it all. She was there to judge me in couples therapy and take my money…read more 20% of her insight was genuine. The rest was nothing but mockery. My partner liked her, she excused all his horrible habits. Told me, "it's who he is, except him and deal with it." I felt it from the second session my partner and I had, she did not like me. She made it a point every time, to judge me about my insecurities within the relationship. I myself have been using therapy on my own time, for over 4 years. I've never once felt as uncomfortable as I did with Donna during couples therapy. I mean the whole reason my partner joined me in couples therapy was to try and support me through all the trauma I dealt with in the relationship. He was a 100% aware of my hurt and trust issues. I had major ptsd and insecurities that I was willing to work on overcoming. Anytime we met, she gave us time to speak on any standing issues. As for me she would mock or make fun of me about my concerns. She even went as far as telling me "your insecurities worry me"; mind you, she didn't even let me finish my reasoning as to why I had concerns about a "platonic" relationship my partner had with with another woman. It was deeper. Again not letting me finish and making me feel like my concern was not that big of a deal. My last straw was when I brought up my concern about my partner watching porn. She looked at me and said " I know how you get, don't start over thinking or getting in your head." Here I was devastated and that was the response I got. If you want to feel unheard, judged,laughed at. Not feeling like your therapist is just completely taking sides and belittling you in front of your partner. DO NOT waste your time with Donna. She will make you feel like you just need to deal with the disrespect. And how dare you bring up your concerns. Oh wait, let me just go feed into your boyfriend's little side jokes and laugh with him. It was the worst experience.
