Since December 2021, it has eaten at me on a daily basis that my old positive review was still up…read morehere. It has felt like a weight in my chest, like I might have helped pull other people into something harmful without meaning to. The reason I did not change it sooner is simple. I have been in a family court fight for years, and the way I have been treated has made me genuinely afraid of consequences for speaking out. I have felt bullied and powerless in a system that can punish you just for making noise. Scott Barrella has claimed there was no communication between us after I completed his program. That is not true. I stayed in touch with him for roughly a year afterward, we were on good terms, and I even referred him clients during that time. I know this because we had phone calls. In those calls, he complained to me that he was not being paid his deposition fees. He also told me that he was going to have an attorney present at the deposition, and that his insurance would provide one for situations like that. If we were not communicating after the program ended, I would not have known any of that. When court and legal proceedings became involved, I experienced a complete reversal. What happened next harmed me and, in my view, helped drive outcomes that kept my children away from me. The betrayal is what still hits the hardest. What is different now is that this is no longer just happening in the dark. There is published reporting focused specifically on Scott Barrella and Cornerstone Counseling Center, including Michael Volpe on Substack, Jan. 18, 2026, "California family court player gets exposed." There is also broader reporting on the Ventura County family court system by Cece Woods in The Current Report, with multiple articles laid out as a series. I am done staying quiet. People deserve to know what they are walking into before they trust their future, their case, or their children to this process.

Even with being a teenager, he is now spending time with us and engages in topics. I love it! The therapists were able to do family sessions with us. They provided us with skills and educated us on my kid's diagnosis. The therapist educated us on CBT and DBT and how those skills work. Even I use them. We have seen our kid improve at school and home. The director has always made time for us. She has gone above and beyond. She has made herself available at all times of the day. We had a crisis one night and she stayed until 10pm deescalating, giving recommendations and even called in the morning to see how we were doing. They care about us. Gisela at the front is without a doubt the best! She got us in that same day! She is sweet and patient with us during the intake process. 5/5 would recommend. What I love the most is that my child is able to go even after graduating! They have alumni group every Wednesday and my kid looks forward to going each week. He continues to learn skills, processes things very different and he is able to communicate his emotions. Beyond happy with the services provided at Aspire.
