He's empathetic, caring, kind, compassionate, genuine, and was born to help others. I struggle with multiple mental health issues due to domestic violence. He's helping me see my worth and find my voice again. He has provided me with tools that I can use on a daily basis. He's helped me in more ways then I can count! I've come a long way since I started seeing Jim. I was in a really dark place and he's brought me back into the light. Jim - you are a true blessing Thank you for everything!

Our high-functioning autistic adult was trapped in severe, debilitating anxiety for years. At the…read morestart of therapy he was on two antipsychotics and two mood stabilizers at the same time--just to function. We had already spent more than a decade (and hundreds of thousands of dollars) cycling through countless therapists, psychiatrists, and programs all over Los Angeles with no lasting improvement. What made us reach out to Steve Kassel was his past experience with high-functioning autism combined with his expertise in EMDR and other brain-based, biologically informed therapies. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Over the course of treatment, the crushing, debilitating anxiety gradually lifted and, astonishingly, completely disappeared. What's more, we were even able to safely taper and eventually discontinue every single medication--something we never thought possible. Mr. Kassel wasn't just effective; he was the first and only mental health professional who was able to connect with our individual. We genuinely believe Steve Kassel is a gift to individuals suffering from anxiety. He helped our family member in a way no one else could, and for that we will be forever grateful. We can't recommend Steve highly enough.

First session went ok but 2nd session, she kept…read moretalking about hormones so I stopped her and asked if we could get back to the reason for my therapy. 3rd appt was absolutely horrific. I had one topic in mind to discuss and she kept changing topics and asking about health conditions and I told her i felt good about ending my marriage as friends and she yelled "you're not friends - he's a narcissist ". I don't see him that way. She degraded my husband, asking me "do you STILL like this man" and was extremely judgemental that I stayed with him for 25 years and that I am still a resident of AZ since that's where my husband lives. It was the weirdest session I've ever had with a Dr before. It was like a toddler with ADHD who asks a question, doesn't wait for the answer then asks a different question. I tried 3 times to redirect the convo to the topic I came to discuss & she would change the topic . She even insinuated that I was shallow bcuz I wanted to improve myself b4 putting myself out there to date. She argued with me SO long that again, I couldn't discuss the topic I came there to discuss. She talks way too much and doesn't listen to her clients. I would NEVER refer anyone to her !

I haven't seen Dr. Cicconi since around 2011, but I recall her fondly. I saw her a handful of…read moretimes because I was going through some hormonal issues and had terrible insomnia that was making me feel really out of it. My friend recommended I talk to a psychologist because I was so stressed out and I reluctantly agreed. Meeting Dr. Cicconi was like a breath of fresh air. Her office was very welcoming. There was a couch in the waiting area and a love seat in her office. Her little office was furnished to give it a comfy, homey feel. I found the hour long visits went by very quickly because I had so much to talk about. Dr. Cicconi was very warm, personable and experienced in her field. She was able to reassure me and give me lots of great advice that I still use to this day! She was also able to recommend a progesterone cream (Kokoro balance) that helped me so much my hormonal issues went away! And she recommended a quality brand of melatonin supplements (Source Naturals sublingual) to help me sleep. After seeing her only a handful of times my health had improved so much that I decided to stop seeing her, but to keep her number just in case anything changed. Over the years I have tried different brands of progesterone cream and melatonin just to try to save money, but time and again I have learned that those two brands she recommended are the best I can find. After I stopped seeing her I recall bumping into her at the movie theater a few weeks after my last appointment. I was excited to see her and I gave her a big hug and thanked her for her help. She was happy that I was doing so well and did not pressure me to keep coming, (like some places do sometimes). Even though it has been so long since I have seen Dr. Cicconi, I am still so glad I did because, without her help I don't know where I would be. Thank you, Dr. Cicconi, for your dedication to the profession! My family and I appreciate you! :)

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received from Valencia Relationship…read moreInstitute. They created a safe environment where my partner and I could communicate openly, better understand one another, and work through challenges in a productive way. I especially appreciated their understanding of the unique demands that come with first responder life. My therapist recognizes the pressures and challenges that affect us and approaches everything with compassion. She always remains objective and fair. She listens to both perspectives without judgment and helps us look at situations from a different point of view. Her guidance has given me and my family valuable tools to better navigate "life". I highly recommend Valencia Relationship Institute to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and objective support. Their work has made a meaningful difference for my family and me, and I truly appreciate the positive impact they have had on our lives.

This means going without medication for two weeks, despite having been on the exact same prescription consistently for the past 6 months.

Situations like this can lead to withdrawal symptoms and negatively impact a patient's well-being. I expected better continuity of care especially from a Psychiatric Facility.
