    Jane was my therapist for 2.5 years and boy did she help me through so many life transitions and…read morerelationship conflict. I couldn't have made it though these changes without her. She helped me unpack a lot of family things as well, which helped me in the long run on so many levels. She addressed all my needs with such care and empathy, and it gave me strength to keep doing the best I could. I was able to organize all my visits with her so easily online, and she was always available to me via email with any questions. Jane is a safe space for all people, and I grew so much in my time with her. Anyone would be lucky to receive her care.

    I knew within the first 5 min how awful she is. SO stuffy and pretentious. Completely…read moreunapproachable! Why did she get good reviews? Who is writing them? First she wasted 15 min going over useless intros and Qs. She asked me the EXACT name and title of my insurance in Teladoc as an identity question. WTF. My birthday and name are enough. That's all my other therapists ask me for. Then she mocked me for seeing another therapist recently. Told me I couldn't see her again if I insisted on trying multiple therapists. Which shows how COMPLETELY ignorant she is of both therapy and how Teladoc works. In Teladoc you don't pick specific providers, you book an appointment with whoever is available. And as a patient I always have the right to shop around for the best care. Thanks for belittling me lady. Final insult to injury is how she cuts off sessions after 45 min when Teladoc sessions are always 1hr. So I barely spent 30 min with her total. But maybe it was for the best bec I couldn't wait to get out of there. She made my skin crawl and didn't listen to or address any of the issues I brought up. I'm glad Teladoc is free under my insurance bec I know that wasn't worth my money!

    I normally don't write negative reviews, but my experience with Dr. Robbins left me deeply…read moredisturbed, especially during our last couples therapy session. One of the most concerning moments was when he told me that my childhood trauma was my "perception." I shared that my mom would wake me up in the middle of the night to console her through panic attacks. I then asked him if a child being molested by a parent would also be "perception," and he said yes. He later clarified that perception doesn't mean it didn't happen--but using that word felt extremely invalidating. When I expressed that, he dismissively responded, "Okay, I just won't use that word if you don't like it." Throughout our sessions, he emphasized "self-control." When I shared that I believe control and self-control are often used to push away feelings, he immediately told me we could not work together. When I tried to explain my perspective, he shut down and refused to share his own thoughts. During that same session, he disengaged almost completely--remaining silent and appearing to stare me down. He said he didn't want to "argue," but I was simply expressing how I felt. Therapy should be a safe space to communicate openly, not one where a therapist withdraws when challenged. There was also a situation where my wife stormed out of last session because I didn't want to spend our 45 minute session going through a 50-page workbook. I preferred to do that outside of session time. Despite this, Dr. Robbins placed the blame entirely on me. And because I kept urging Dr. Robbins to look at the underlying root issues in our relationship, he acted very childishly by using that same approach in a crude way on me. My wife lost our family 500k by gambling it away in stocks and crypto. He asked how it made me feel and what trauma that was coming from. Obviously, it makes me feel like I don't matter, but I want to break the cycle of my childhood trauma where boundaries were not allowed, and I want to set boundaries with my wife. When Dr. Robbins heard that, he didn't care to respond, because his main goal was to one up me by using the root cause methods I was urging him to use. At another point, he asked, "Where do feelings come from?" I said the inner child, and he responded, "No, it comes from behavior." I am always talking to my son about feelings and emotions, and after the session I told him what Dr. Robbins said about feelings not coming from the inner child. My six-year-old son's immediate response was, "what the h*ll." Even my six-year old son is emotionally smarter than Dr. Robbins. I would not recommend working with Dr. Robbins because he uses his pain and his coping mechanisms to dictate the session. After ten sessions, we had no real improvement in our relationship.

My case manager, Sarah was absolutely wonderful -- so down to earth, responsive, and genuinely advocated for me constantly and in my corner every step of the way. She made navigating everything feel manageable when I felt overwhelmed. The therapy team is exceptional. Amanda, Kristin, Rylee, and Nick each brought something unique to the table, and together they created a space that felt safe, challenging, and real. You can tell they actually collaborate and care. And program director Christiane sets the tone for the whole program. It's organized, compassionate, and focused on actual healing, not just checking boxes. If you're considering IOP/PHP, this team is the reason to choose this place, I'm leaving stronger because of all of them. Thank you.

I would definitely recommend their services for seasons of life that require extra support and compassion.

I took the second time mom course at NMS in Yorba Linda, and I cannot recommend this series enough. The classes were structured around unique second time mom topics such as navigating toddler behavior and feelings with an added sibling, how your relationship with your spouse changes when you add a new baby and my favorite topic, picky toddler eating The topics were lead by experts in the fields of sleep training, feeding therapists, behavior consultants etc. and each consultant did a thorough job of answering our questions and concerns. I felt heard and understood in NMS Yorba Linda. I liked that these classes focused more on our growing family's dynamic rather than advice for newborns because, at least for me, that wasn't relevant anymore. What I needed was a community of women who just get it, the balancing act of having more than one small child. And I got that because of the second time mom series at NMS Yorba Linda.

As a new mom, this is just what I needed, a community of moms and experts who are going through similar things. The classes are structured to guide us, new moms, through the stages of toddlerhood. My child also loved interacting with all of the other toddlers, singing and story time. But her favorite was playtime! New mom school did an amazing job of keeping the toys clean and maintaining a clean environment for the children. I highly recommend new mom school for anyone, especially if you are needing support, a community or simply looking to talk to other moms.

I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.
