She completely denied the proof that I and my son were abused and suggested that his father(super rich family) have custody, even though he was a raging drug addict and abuser. Even better, when you opponent tries to subpoena her to explain herself, she will be taking a 3 month vacation in the Caribbean on a court mediator salary. So take that, you peasants, thinking you are doing the best for your kids. Dang, after her, I dealt with 2 1/2 years of cout just to get my baby back. Money speaks and I had none. Now, my son is 18 and because of Lynne's bullshit, he has permanent lung damage and seizures, as she suggested he be with his abusive (super wealthy) drug addict father. Thanks, Lynn!

I can confidently say that choosing to begin therapy with Heather was the best decision I have made…read morein my life. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and heavy trauma for years. In the 8 months that I have been working with Heather, I have never seen or felt this kind of growth in my entire life. She has helped me work through past, present, and future stressors, and create healthy communication habits and coping mechanisms. Heather has an easy-going personality, and an incredible way of making you feel comfortable talking about the most difficult things. She allows you to be as vulnerable and open as you'd like to be, and still manages to find ways to gently challenge you to further your expression and growth. She is certified in different types of therapy including couples counseling, talk therapy, and EMDR. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing -- If she thinks you're a good candidate for it, just do it. Seriously.) If I had known THIS is what therapy could be, I would have started a long time ago. However, I'm so grateful to have started when I did with Heather. I would (and do) refer her to anyone I meet that is interested in therapy, especially those who are on the fence about beginning their healing/therapeutic journey.

It's very difficult for me to ever admit I need help. I can also be overly critical, but I have discovered my sessions with Michele to not only make me more productive in the bigger picture but most importantly, more well-balanced in home and work life. I saw her for a period of time 2 years ago and then because of my schedule and her location, I had to disappointedly stop. Then Covid happened and I reached out hoping she was doing telehealth. And she is! Nothing is more convenient than not having to drive somewhere. I look forward to my weekly FaceTime Sessions with her. She continues to help me as I pivot to adjust to each new life event. At this point, I consider her sessions to be a must-have even if everything were going well. She is the perfect blend of genuine caring, firm accountability, and insightful questions. Highly recommend her to anyone thinking about therapy.

The timing made it very difficult to find an experienced therapist. Most I contacted were busy and not taking new clients, many didn't even return calls. I looked for six months, trying the newer young psychologists available with disappointing results. I finally found Dr. Carlson online and liked his website. He was the last one I was going to try before giving up. He probably wasn't seeking new clients at the time, but responded, was compassionate and agreed to see me. He's a Ph.D psychologist with decades of experience and was nice enough to discuss my situation and needs beforehand. And he WOULD see clients in person when the restrictions lifted. I found Dr. Carlson to be an open, pragmatic therapist who is easy to be around and talk to. He works to really individualize his modality and treatment to the client and included me in the plan. He gets me, gives me the benefit of the doubt, and I can be real and honest without having to worry about being shamed. He restored my trust in therapists and the therapeutic experience. With the work we've done Ive experienced healing and my depression has lifted. I'm more at peace and less of a tortured soul. Dr. Carlson is a kind and rare person of integrity who puts his clients first and truly cares about people.

Unlike some professionals who tend to get "burned out" when they have successful and busy practices, Dr. Romero is ALWAYS present and engaged when I see her. She is also very knowledgable about new trends. Most specifically, she recommended a device called Alpha Stim for neuro-cognitive challenges I had. It's has helped immensely. She is also extremely knowledgeable with the language and process of 12 step recovery which is rare and a huge benefit. I highly recommend Dr. Romero.

Given the location, I wasn't sure if she'd be one of those uptight, semi-judges therapists that seem to run rampant in San Diego, but she's not at all. She has a unique approach that is somewhat nurturing, but also direct and non-coddling. She is fantastic and I look forward to seeing her for years to come. Also, saw Dr. Mauro once and she was great, but unfortunately, due to an error with the intake team, I was only able to see her once. They've really got to get their support staff together. I'm tired of having to wait around because they don't have their paperwork together. The girls up front are often condescending, which is extremely annoying when you're there for mental health support.
