I will not ,recommend any one to get counseling or mental help from, Harmony Heal. Some worker of Harmony Heals, so called counsellor need to get anger management classes , and mental health clearance from BBS of state of California first, before working or advise their clients. This is my opinion and I stand by it. I read more

Harmony Heals in its entirety offers the highest quality of care possible. I can't say enough positive feedback I have for the staff and all the clinicians at this facility. If you are looking for the best of the best as far as professionals who have compassion and complete knowledge of addiction...this is the the right fit for your loved one. I highly recommend people to put their complete trust in this program. I've been in the addiction field for many years now and I am a certified clinician who cares about people and their recovery. Look no further - Call now! read more

I have been going to Harmony Heals for around 6 months now. Farid and the therapists are so awesome. My therapist Maricella has helped me so much from where I was at before I started going to Harmony. It really feels like the entire staff really cares to see progress and a better future for their patients. Very holistic type treatment and zero judgement. It is something I look forward to every week! read more

Because it wasn't all bad, I'll start with the positive aspects of Harmony Heals. First, many of the staff are good, caring people, who have clients' best interest at heart. They are willing to listen and give advice, share their stories and relate to their clients on a personal level that approximates support and understanding that many addicts have not experienced in a long, long time, especially with regard to addiction. The iop house manager, the older gentleman who runs 'night groups,' the female emdr counselor, and both yoga instructors all come to mind as the greatest assets Harmony Heals has to offer. These individuals are much more important to the success of treatment at Harmony Heals than the overall programming. Which leads to the major problems with Harmony Heals. The first thing that stands out is that there's some very shady advertising going on, especially regarding the services provided when in residential treatment. They tout things like massage therapy, acupuncture, and other services, but they don't tell you that these come at an additional cost that's around or over $100 per session. That's a lot of extra money to spend on a facility that already charges around $1,000 per day, and it's troubling to insinuate that these services are included by putting them on the same list as other services that ARE included, such as yoga. The second thing that stands out is that for all that daily money, Harmony Heals only provides a maximum of two hours per week with somebody actually professionally trained in any type counseling, addiction or otherwise. I say this is a maximum because when Harmony has too many clients, these sessions get cut. And while these counselors were helpful, they actually aren't even fully licensed yet and instead work as interns. As I said earlier, one of these counselors was extremely helpful to me, however it seems like at its price tag, Harmony could and should employ licensed counselors besides Gina. Aside from Gina, the program director is professionally trained, but she mostly handles intake and emergent situations, and spends very little face time with clients. The rest of the staff are in recovery themselves and, while many of them are wonderful, committed, and caring people, they really aren't anything but glorified babysitters. This role is of course necessary in any treatment setting, but these are the people who provide most of your treatment, and it's mostly in the form of walking to AA meetings. They have no formal training. The third issue, and it's a big one, is the services actually rendered for the price paid are meager at best. It's absolutely perplexing, a shared feeling among those receiving treatment at Harmony, that $1,000 per day gets you two unhealthy and repetitive takeout meals, a bed, 0.3 counseling sessions, 0.3 yoga lessons, and 1 (free) AA meeting. That is the extent of the programming. The support staff are not paid enough to make up the difference--not even close. All of this starts to leave you feeling like somebody somewhere is making a lot of money doing the bare minimum to be passable as a treatment center, which inspires a ton of distrust in a company that is supposed to help end the mental and physical anguish of addiction. Seriously, I spent about 80% of my waking hours at Harmony either reading fiction or watching (basic) cable. I read 7 different 400-page books in 23 days I was there, and I attended EVERYTHING offered by Harmony in the way of treatment programming. That is how much free time you have, which is not what clients are paying so much for. And I'm not a particularly fast reader. The short version of all of this? There are some sketchy business practices going on behind the scenes and you get the sense that even some of the staff know about it, but management has a sweet deal making money off people struggling with addiction. Farid will squeeze every dime that he can out of your pockets, while providing the bare minimum in terms of actual professional treatment. Shame on you. read more

I came to harmony heals on a suggestion from a friend. This is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. Not only did I need help with addiction, I needed help with myself. The therapy I have received at Harmony is beyond priceless. I am finally able to deal with the issues I have struggled with inside myself, for my whole life. The staff here is Amazing. They all have the knowledge and training for many different disorders and trauma. I love walking in everyday to the calm and beautiful atmosphere. There is such a sense of peace and well being. I highly recommend Harmony Heals to anyone struggling with addiction or life issues. read more

I have been beyond blessed to have worked with such clinical excellence as I have found with Gina and Farid's team at Harmony Heals Counseling Center. A warm and nurturing place where I have, firsthand, witnessed miraculous transformation. The minute you walk into the building you feel transported to a different world; one of calm healing beauty. I highly recommend this center if you or a loved one is in need of physical and/or emotional change. Great work Gina and Farid! read more

The staff at Harmony Heals are compassionate and professional providing a safe, structured therapeutic environment for uncovering deep hurt, bringing it to the surface and resolving it and the internal devastation it has brought read more

Harmony Heals has been the bright light at the end of the tunnel for me. I can't even begin to state the extent to which they have helped me better my life. Each staff member really truly cares for you and does the best they can in your path to recovery. Farid is one of the kindest, most involved owners I've ever met, and Scott and Marcela have been the most insightful, sympathetic, kind, funny, loving, intelligent, and most importantly helpful therapists I could ask for. They are very knowledgeable and it shows. This has been the largest factor in the insight, trauma recovery, and mental fortitude that have come with the work I've done in my path to sobriety. In the IOP program, I got to experience psychoanalytical therapy which was brand new to me. Despite having previously gone to a multitude of therapists/counselors/psychologists/etc, through Harmony Heals I have been able to focus on the root of my addiction and trauma. read more

Farid and Gina Tabrizy were instrumental in my recovery. I needed space so I could trust, empathy and compassion as I felt alone and unloved. Behind all of this they have great mental and spiritual strength which culminates with you knowing they are looking for and expecting you to acknowledge your pain and then finally find the true, beautiful part of yourself which has always been there. They believed in me, something few had done in my life. My journey is a life journey. My road shared with them helped me recover and grow into the person I am today. I now love myself, how powerful is that? read more

I know Gina Tabrizy from long ago. I was in a group of hers for Psychodrama. I went for many months. At the time, she was caring and supportive of all the work I did. Not only did she care about the people in the group but she made sure that things were safe and she proved time after time that she is gifted when working with people. I think Gina is a talented therapist and that makes me think that her work with Harmony Heals is going to create a lot of healing for people that connect with the staff at Harmony Heals. Harmony Heals is a creation of both gifted therapists and good people. read more

Harmony Heals is a masterful program that has helped many journey through the toughest of times! The love, care, commitment to your personal health and always being there shows in every detail of your experience! There's no one better in this field of profession than Gina whom has double digit years of experience in this field which include a highly qualified hand picked team which will get you to a place where you truly need to go, want to go, undiscovered challenges that block your healing, and to finally reach peace! Take the challenge, discover you again, and you'll see there is no denial you're with the best most masterful program! BRAVO Gina! read more

Harmony Heals saved my life. I have struggled with drug/alcohol dependency as well as anxiety and depression issues for most of my life. I have attempted sobriety my times and experienced other treatment centers. Harmony Heals stands head and shoulders above the rest. They are completely care and client driven. Every staff member has a genuine kindness and care for the clients. I have significant trauma from my childhood that has effected my life and until seeking help with Harmony Heals, I did not realize that it is the root of my dependency and anxiety issues. Through intensive work with the staff and my personal Harmony Heals therapists I have moved forward with my life. Today I am sober, happy and I have incredible outlook for the future. I cant say how grateful I am to the facility. The staff are truly something special, from the owners, the therapist to the support staff. read more

I want to share mine and my sons amazing experience at Harmony Heals counseling and mental health My son started using drugs at the age of 13 and was out of control by 16 I put him in a rehab in orange county called Touchstone's which was a very good experience for my son He did extremely well while he was there but shortly after leaving reverted back to drugs after we brought him home He was only 16 and I do feel age plays a big part in Sobriety We felt very hopeless and had no idea what to do next. He had an amazing job at a grocery store that lasted two months and he quit and decided to go back into sober living . He had periods of staying sober but not for long and was in and out of jail twice it was extremely painful We then put him in another rehab which was at the Pat Moore in Newport Beach . He was there three months and was ready for sober living once again He was in and out of sober living which I feel being in the right sober living is good My son continued to get into relationships with girls immediately after leaving rehab he never took the time to get to know himself and always reverted back to drugs While my son was in the Pat Moore rehab me and my husband signed up for a role-playing seminar with my son I have to say it was the most interesting seminar I had ever been to .me and my husband still talk about it to this day. This was put on by Gina Tabrizy that owns Harmony Heals . unfortunately when my son left Pat Moore and moved in to their sober living which was extremely nice however that did not last long and my son was back on drugs I remembered I had saved Gina's number and I gave her a call and asked her is there anything you can do to help us we are desperate very desperate At this time my son was living with my parents and they were allowing him to live there while he was using I had no contact with my son for seven months. It was an extremely difficult time in my life not to have contact with him but I felt it was necessary as long as he was using I also lost my relationship with my parents during this time I told him when he was ready he could contact me and we had a place for him to go . He did not get in contact with us immediately he continued to use for a month or so after we spoke One day he text me and said mom I'm ready and that's when I contacted Gina My son packed his stuff and started their program the following Monday moved into their sober living while he was attending their program I once again had hope that this time maybe it would work Their program was 12 hours a week and I think the key for him was he did not have to stay there meaning live there as a inpatient he could drive his car there every day and leave Everyday he would call me and tell me about the different interesting things he did and he was genuinely happy I actually started seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and stayed very hopeful and supportive It was the first time I actually saw him start to believe in himself that he could be sober he could stay out of toxic relationships that he could actually tell me the things I did wrong that I never saw in myself I can't remember exactly how many months my son spent in their program but I do know without them and this program he would never be who he is today nor would I as a parent Today my son and I have the most incredible relationship due to this program and Gina's counseling Gina made me see things about myself and take ownership of what I did wrong and it was very hard to except my wrongs but I was able to do that with her help Today my son has been drug-free for three years eight months. None of this would have been possible without Harmony Heals , Gina and Farid My son is living proof after struggling for 10+ years with drug addiction that anything is possible with the right program and the right people My son today is able to set boundaries, he is in a beautiful relationship with a girl he deserves he enjoys the outside going on hikes he is holding down a full-time job As a parent I could not ask for more I was once so very hopeless so broken I spent days and nights crying thinking will my son ever be sober I feel extremely grateful My son is able to say to me today mom Im solid I am OK you don't need to worry I have tears writing this tears of joy I have my son back in my life because of his willingness to want to be sober and Gina and Farid special program read more

Harmony heals is an amazing place. The staff, atmosphere and therapists are brilliant. They have helped me in tremendous ways. I am forever grateful to everyone and this facility read more

I owe my new life to Farid and Gina for giving me my life back. I had been to over 14 different treatment centers , in patient , out patient, IOP, behavior modification, Prison . Nothing had worked until I started treatment in there most beautiful detox on the beach , with the kindest staff who would bake us cookies. Once that process was done the true healing began with personalized, individualized , therapy . That treated my mind , body and spirit. NOT A COOKIE CUTTER TREATMENT CENTER. I have clean and sober since NOV 4 2016 . THANK YOU HARMONY HEALS read more

Harmony heals definitely played a crucial role in my recovery from ptsd and major depression. Especially my work with Gina Tabrizy. All of the modalities used- ranging from inner child work, emdr, trauma timelines and trauma processing were so important to my healing. To be honest, I was a very severe case- I had multiple Suicide attempts and hospitalizations before I came to harmony heals. I also had no drug or alcohol addiction- only mental health. I was completely disabled by PTSD and major depression- mostly stemming from repeated sexual abuse. Because of what I was in recovery from and because many of the clients were in recovery from addiction, I was doubtful that harmony heals was equipped to meet my needs when I was starting out. Not only were they able to meet my needs, I got the most individualized care that I ever experienced at a recovery center and I count Gina as one of the best therapists out there. It is very difficult to find quality trauma and mental health care- especially outside of the addiction framework. I was at harmony heals for about six months in 2015. My insurance wasn't covered there at the time- which was the reason why I left when I did. However, despite insurance stuff- I'm so so grateful I was able to spend the time I had there. Although I wasn't completely out of the woods recovery wise and had to continue therapy and recovery after my time at harmony heals, the suicidal thoughts and impulses were gone after my time harmony heals. That is a miracle. Thank you harmony heals!! read more

Hands down best treatment center in Orange County. Harmony changed my life. The reason is because unlike other traditional treatments harmony is passionate about what they do. They have compassion & wisdom while providing guidance & support. Harmony is the best thing that ever happened to me. read more

I feel the easier way to begin this review may be to state that I am a professional in this field and have been for over a decade. That said I am blessed enough to know hundreds of professional therapists and counselors. Most people will eventually find themselves in a place where they need/desire some sort of mental health assistance or know someone that does. After all at the very least we all want to be our best selves. When the need arouse in my own family I could have retained the professional services of any organization. I choose the one I knew had the most giving, compassionate, knowledgable and caring staff. I choose Harmony Heals and I could not have made a better decision. Private, confidential and professional care in a warm and caring environment. I am not known to be one to speak of my family's personal business however I feel it's my responsibility to let anyone who is in crisis know that they will be safe and cared for in the hands of Harmony Heals. On a personal note: thank you Gina. You all made all the difference for me and my family. This is a true story! read more

This place is amazing. I can't say enough about the quality of care and compassion I have received over the last three months. After years of trauma therapy at the VA, I still had yet to make significant progress. There are simply too many veterans and too few options for sustainable, effective, cutting edge trauma therapy. The staff is thoughtful, smart, dedicated and patient. They know what they're doing! I have healed so much and have gained insight that has truly changed my life. Highly recommend Harmony Heals and I am forever grateful for the kindness and help. read more

You can't imagine the level of care and compassion that the harmony heals family has provided for me. I'm a 52 year old female who has struggled with trauma and addiction for over 40 years. Needless to say...I have been to probably over 50 treatment and detox facilities trying to change my life and nothing worked. I was at the point of literally completely giving up all hope until I found harmony heals. Farid and Gina Tabrizy changed my life like you can't imagine. This was two years ago and I am still connected to my "family" at harmony. The staff is friendly and extremely professional and unlike most "cookie cutter" treatment centers, harmony heals took a completely different approach and it's been working in my life like no other place has been able to do. Thank you everyone at Harmony Heals Holistic Counseling for giving me back my life. read more

Very different treatment setting compared to most. They don't have multiple houses and your not just pushed through. You will get to know the owner down to the staff on a personal level, and grasp the knowledge it takes to succeed. It doesn't hurt living in a house perched looking over Laguna Beach . Five stars all day long!!!! read more

I went into the detox here, and I can tell you the staff is jaded. the bald headed owner and his wife want profits not recovery. the head nurse goes on power trips and has something shoved so far up her ass I don't even know of there's any hope of her getting it back. I understand they deal with detoxing addicts all day, it's difficult and you need to be prepared. the staff is an absolute mess when any little set back occurs. it was amusing to watch. the only way to get anything done is to throw a tantrum (not how it works in the real world). They cared more about their egos than the actual patients. if anything AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

This places that gold mine if you're searching to get mental health or overcome an addiction. The staff is incredible the therapist are incredible their model is like any other I've ever witnessed. Gina tabrizy one of the best therapists in the country as far as I'm concerned. The CEO mr. Tabrizy is a strong Fair generous man. These people are truly in the helping profession for the right reasons. When you go in for a session or for any other reason you can feel the love and then genuineness of everybody on staff each person that I've met there is truly authentic and they do a great job of helping you get past any pain trauma that you may be having. If you truly want to find one of the best therapists in town go to Harmony heals. They do everything from talk therapy, EMDR they have all the holistic Services you can imagine had a hard cycle therapy session? schedule a massage afterwards just a fantastic place explanation point read more

My sister and I sent my niece to harmony heals, I was very concerned about her behavior. She was out of control. Thank god we made it to harmony heals, when we walked in you could feel the love. I was still reluctant since my niece had been to many "treatment centers" in the past and had no headway. That was 3 years ago and I am happy to say my niece is better than she has ever been. If you are having a hard time or if someone you love is having a hard time get to harmony heals ASAP. read more

Absolutely love everyone here! They care about your mental health and well being and they work to the root of your traumas, instead of just using a bandaid to figure out why you are the way you are....Im beyond thankful to the staff and Farid for helping me source options for my young daughter to get the right help as well! I can't thank Harmony Heals enough! Look no further, if your reading this, you've found the right help read more

This is by far the worst counseling center I have ever had the displeasure to do business with and I would give this place zero stars if I could. Avoid this place like the plague - there are countless other centers out there run by compassionate, psychologically stable people who actually care for their clients, see them as more than walking dollar signs, and do not take advantage of people who come to them seeking help with their pain. This place isn't just a bad business, it is DANGEROUS to anyone seeking help to save their lives. I came to Harmony Heals because they, at the time I was there, had a therapist who specialized in EMDR and trauma therapy. She, as an individual was (and still is) absolutely amazing and I would recommend anyone with deep trauma issues to visit her private practice. However, after a string of personal setbacks, I decided that I needed more help and Farid, being the businessman that he is, insisted on setting me up with a "program" (of his design, of course) that included thousands of dollars worth of pre-paid appointments with other therapists and a $1000/month monitor to check in with daily (a woman who I was horrified to learn was unlicensed, had no professional training, and was still deep in her own addiction). I did not have insurance and was barely making enough money to pay for my primary therapist at the time (I was quickly going into debt, but had no other option because I truly needed help to save my life) and I expressed this to him. I also expressed that these new therapists (who, despite my misgivings, I saw for a few sessions) were not a good fit for me and seeing them was actually making my anxiety worse and depression worse. He accused me of "trying to run my own program" and told me that my decisions were what got me into the dark place I was currently in. He insisted that I stick with the program that the had set up for me (and, to add insult to injury, tried to sell me on the several-thousand-dollar-a-month recovery house which, when I visited it, was horrified to learn that it was just a filthy place that lacked adequate supervision of several very sick and unstable clients who, for the sake of their own safety and safety of the other clients, should have been placed in a higher level of care). Eventually, my condition deteriorated to the point where I was unable to work. When I was abruptly let go from my job, I immediately called Harmony Heals to let them know that I could no longer afford and needed to cancel the extra therapist appointments and the monitoring service. To my shock, I was informed that since I had already been charged for the month (which was only two days prior to my phone call), I would not be able to get a refund. I begged for him to be understanding because the monitoring service alone was over a thousand dollars I didn't have. He refused to budge. When I told him that I wouldn't be returning because I felt like trust had been broken, he said that it was my own fault and just another example of my poor decision-making. My family called to try and reason with him and were met with the same refusal. He eventually stopped returning phone calls. Attempts to reach Gina Tabrizy, the clinical director of the program, turned out just the same. She chose to stand behind her husband rather than stick up for her clients. To make a long story short, I tried to execute a chargeback via my credit card company but Farid responded like the unhealthy, dishonest man that he is. He lied to the credit card companies about me having "already received services" and about the money being non-refundable, so there was nothing they could do. When I tried to report Harmony Heals to the Better Business Bureau, things progressed in a similar fashion. Farid lied. I wrote a rebuttal. Farid lied again and, ultimately, there was nothing the Better Business Bureau could legally do. I couldn't believe the injustice of the situation and, moreover, the fact that it was coming from someone I had reached out to for help... A business that was supposed to have my best interests at heart. I lost an incredible amount of faith in the recovery field and, more importantly, in my ability to ever get better. Although things are much better now (I have since gotten help with a private therapist and am continuing to make progress), my experience with Farid took me, in my already fragile state, to a very dark place that took an incredible amount of work to emerge from. I still harbor trust issues regarding treatment facilities, which is more damaging to my mental health than I could ever explain in words. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy - please don't let this happen to you. read more

I would like to start off by simply stating that, first and foremost I am grateful for Harmony Heals IOP. This has not been my first experience getting sober, nor is it my first time in an IOP program. That being said, Harmony Heals really is quite a different experience, and I will explain how so that you know that I am a real person with real experience with treatment. Every other program I have attended has been based on the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. As does Harmony Heals, in its own unique and innovative way. Other facilities base their treatment approach to take addiction head on. Treating the addiction, its symptoms, repercussions and the chemicals themselves. Harmony Heals looks into the direct root of the problem from which all self-destructive and addictive behaviors arise. Trauma therapy, Inner-Child work, Process Therapy. How we can learn to face our past traumas and learn to live with them rather than suppressing them. Then learning how to implement them into our personal program, either 12 step or otherwise. The biggest difference to me is the emotional intimacy at Harmony. Small groups of addicts and alcohols who can relate to each other and all have the time to get very vulnerable and real in group together about their experiences, and really dive deep into the root of what truly troubles us. We also receive a 1 on 1 therapy session with two different therapists twice per week, which has also allowed me to look deep into what issues I was never willing to address, and subsequently would lead to me not staying sober. Time and time again. I would have to say this program is very different, and though it isn't easy, it has been my favorite IOP program and I am very grateful. read more

I new right off the bat. This was a place for me. I was in search of an IOP program. I did a little research and visited first. Farid (co-founder) was the first face I saw. I immediately was able to open up. They put together a program designed just for me. Financially as well as therapeutic wise. All my sessions are one on one. So I'm able to speak of anything without fear of judgement. Just me and another who is focused, extremely skilled, and dedicated on guiding me through this transition to a new life. They make it clear I'm important. My therapists meet and work together to fine tune it. I feel like family here. I have been here for about a month and growing in a way I did not imagine. I definitely recommend this to anybody who wants what I am experiencing. read more

Harmony heals has helped me identify trauma from childhood to present day and helped me learn how to deal with that trauma without having to use substances. With this kind of consoling and a 12 step program I feel that any addict or alcoholic can achieve sobriety and a healthy happy life. Harmony heals works if you are ready to be honest and truly want results, if you put in the work they will work along side you. Thank you harmony heals!! read more

Harmony Heals is a wonderful counseling center. All the staff are knowledgable and willing to help. They are well versed in various areas of mental health and continue to seek out new information and treatment options. It is a very warm welcoming place the minute you walk in the door. The staff are all very loving and willing to work with the clients at their comfort level. I saw various therapists and staff members there for four years and it truly changed my life. They provided me with all the help and support I needed to work through my issues. I highly recommend Harmony Heals to anyone in need of therapy or just someone to talk to. read more

Genuine, Authentic, helpful, and intelligent! From the top down; owners, therapists, counselors, detox workers, medical staff, and others alike; I have felt cared for. As a man in his mid 30's who has struggled with alcoholism and addiction for 20 plus years and experienced a variety of significant and severe traumas from childhood through adult life, I can honestly say I do not make these statements lightly (it takes a lot for me to trust people). Harmony Heals and its staff has gone out of its way to help me heal from my dark past and has guided, taught, and modeled of me healthy practical solutions to apply to my daily life. My experience has been positive. However, if you are not looking the get sober, are trying get over on, take advantage of others, or are simply a source of negative poison for other clients, they will not hesitate to ask you to leave. On the other hand, if you sincerely are looking to heal, not just from addiction, but from the underlying causes and conditions that initiated the chaos, Harmony Heals will do everything they can to facilitate healing. This is another quality I appreciate and I feel sets them a part from other profit motivated facilities, the overall wellbeing of those whom have a willing desire to change is protected. I am extremely grateful to have landed in a place where real growth and clarity can be attained. read more

When I came in to get help for my personal problems, I felt like there was nowhere else to go. But when I entered the inviting rooms at the counseling center, I felt like everything would be okay. All of the staff I met were professional and cordial, and I had no problems receiving my services. read more

After over two decades in recovery, I found that the twelve step program that I was practicing voraciously was not enough to heal from my childhood trauma. Upon a friend's recommendation, I reached out to Harmony Heals. When I walked into the door of the tranquil setting in the Harmony Heals office building, I felt at ease immediately. Farid, the co-owner, met me at the door and ushered me into his office to discuss about my needs. In his office, I comfortable enough to break down and cry while explaining to him the emotional and physical toll my trauma had taken on me. I knew immediately after that talk that Harmony would be able to help me. I asked him to find me a female, older than myself, who would work with my insurance. Farid referred me to a wonderful therapist who more than fulfilled my needs. She explained my trauma to me in a way that I never understood and administered a therapy called EMDR. Since that point in time, my marriage, my friendships, and my work life have improved dramatically. I absolutely recommend Harmony Heals for therapeutic treatment to anyone dealing with trauma. I truly believe that they have saved my life. read more
