I sought psychotherapy services from Dr. Brown for nearly six months after a severely debilitating…read moreand traumatic health issue. I had been to therapy before, but not for such a prolonged amount of time. Dr. Brown has been an integral part of my emotional and spiritual recovery. She is warm, focused, and invested in her patients' healing. She uses EMDR which is necessary/helpful when dealing with trauma. It can be a frightening process, but helps get to the heart of what's causing the trauma. I always felt safe in her care, and would recommend her to anyone looking for some really deep therapy. A couple things to note: be sure to review her cancellation policy. And she did not accept my insurance, so treatment can hit your wallet pretty hard. But it's worth it.

I found Diane and it was an immediate blessing. She had me start EMDR to help with the PTSD from the trauma of the events and I was amazed at how quickly and thoroughly this process helped. I have continued working with her for the past two years as her expertise, compassion, and intuitiveness have helped me with so many other issues as well...issues that we have a tendency to suppress until events trigger them wide open. Oh and yes folks. she has a great sense of humor!!! Would I recommend her? Oh Yes!!! Marie M.

She has very practical experience in life and that always builds my confidence when it comes to a therapist. She's experienced and provides real feedback and shows genuine interest. I think there is nothing's better than feeling like you can speak to someone and they help you make changes in your life instead of talking to someone who you feel like you're just updating every week. In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

Karen is such an awesome therapist. She listens and provides actionable feedback to strengthen…read morecommunication. She's patient and thoughtful in her responses. All of our sessions were over Zoom (thanks to Covid), but nonetheless she made the environment feel safe, open, and connected, as if she were right there with you. Talking to her is like talking to an unbiased trusted friend. She makes all parties involved feel respected and heard. She doesn't take sides, but finds a way to make everyone feel like they have valid concerns and gives communication strategies to help navigate through tough conversations or hot buttons in a relationship. She's the first therapist I've ever worked with who has given actionable tools to use in everyday situations, instead of just listening and saying she'll see me next week. If you show up open and ready to work to see results, I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with your experience. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I wish I could give ZERO stars but it's not possible with Yelp. "Dr" Melinda Marmer is nothing more…read morethan a bottom-line meddler. She intentionally integrated herself into what was already a NASTY divorce between my ex-spouse and myself. We took our 2 year old son to see her because he was acting out in preschool. Instead of focusing on my son, she inserted herself between my ex and I and went as far as to tell me that I "needed to stay with him". She definitely crossed professional lines and acted WAY out of her scope. She is a nightmare and did much more damage than good. The situation continued as she began to converse with my ex-spouse for months during and AFTER the divorce. It was horrible! Please seek other means of counseling, she is very unprofessional and the opposite of therapeutic. I should have reported her but the divorce was traumatizing enough. PLEASE AVOID!

I would highly recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone who wants the most honest, authentic and competent…read moremental health professional they can for their child. He helped my son through a terrible time in his life. Although I would have been willing to continue bringing my son to him, as I saw the good it was doing, Dr. Skelton was so honorable that he told me that my son didn't need to be seen anymore. He left me with good advice going forward and an open door if I ever needed it. He gave up a hefty monthly fee as he was being honest and authentic. It would have been easy for him to keep us going and making good money. But he didn't. He is professional and an upstanding man. I personally feel that any negative comments on here are unwarranted and unfair. I would recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone and stand by that. He changed my sons life in a matter of months. The fact that he told us that we didn't need to come or pay for session a anymore spoke volumes to me. He is honest and truly cares. Plus, he was right! My son is now thriving at school, making new friends, secure in himself and happy. The only thing lacking in his life are his sessions with Jay! He truly developed a bond with him and is often keen to "fill Jay in" on how he is doing. Dr. Skelton left us saying that if we ever needed to call him for advice that he would always be there. I believe that and will call him if I ever need it. I am so thankful to have met such an honorable and talented child whisperer! P..S. Please remember that this forum includes all parties. I have a feeling that any negative remarks on Yelp were made by parents who just didn't like hearing the truth. It's easy to blame others. It's much harder to look yourself in the mirror and own the truth. Dr Skelton is so upfront that he calls it how it is. That's important. The only way to allow your kids to heal is to listen without defensiveness and to make changes that are recommended. Recommended by Dr. Skelton, because he knows what he is doing. Thank you Jay for all you have done.

This week, we walked in after a stressful trip to Disneyland (with two little kids, no less), and what could've turned into another argument actually became one of our most productive conversations. Sheena helped us slow down, name what was really going on under the surface, and find common ground instead of staying stuck in our usual dynamic of resentment or shutdown. We leave sessions feeling more like a team, even when we're dealing with big parenting challenges or feeling triggered. We've had therapists before who just gave advice or stayed too neutral, but Sheena actually gets in there with you and helps you work through the tough stuff. If you're a couple that loves each other but keeps hitting the same walls, Sheena is the real deal. We're so grateful for her.

We joke about it all these years later, but coming back for those follow up sessions would be exactly what I needed and truthfully, what I was lacking in my life. Whitney embodies compassion, care, empathy, and love and provides the safety of allowing me to show up as I am on any given day ready to help me unpack whatever I bring her. I came to her at a point in my life when I had shattered as a person. She has been by my side through some incredibly challenging times and there isn't anyone else that I would want in my corner when life happens. Whitney is an incredible therapist. If you are looking for someone who will see you as you are, accept you as you are, and who will walk by your side as you navigate the triumphs and challenges life throws at you, she is the one you need. I think she's pretty amazing and am thankful for her every day.

After a whirlwind of an 8 years in which…read moreI lost some of the most important people in my life, in addition to the pandemic and the ramifications of it, I knew it was time to seek help. I tried one avenue, but it just didn't work. So I went on a search for a different therapist. And that search went on day after day, hour after hour. I spoke to some, but nothing ever felt like it was the right fit. Until one day, when I was feeling defeated, I stumbled upon Whitney. I took a look at her website and read her reviews and felt hopeful for the first time in days. From the moment I first spoke to Whitney, I knew she was the one to help me. Two years later, and I can say with absolute certainty that choosing Whitney to be my therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Whitney is compassionate, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows how to create a warm, comfortable and supportive environment where you feel safe to tell her all your thoughts and feelings. She's patient and kind, and never gives up on finding ways to help you. She has been such a positive light in my life, and has helped me overcome so much. While I'm still a work in progress, it's all thanks to Whitney that I have made it this far. And that is why I recommend and will always recommend Whitney. If you're looking for someone to help you get back onto the path to happiness, you've found her.
