We've had a wonderful experience working with Jeanette. She has been seeing our 10-year-old son,…read morewhile also providing parent coaching sessions for me and my wife, and the impact has been incredibly positive for our entire family. One of Jeanette's greatest strengths is her ability to create a safe, supportive space, especially for kids around our son's age. She quickly earned his trust, which is no small feat, and he feels comfortable opening up to her in a way that has truly helped his growth. In addition to her work with our son, Jeanette's parent coaching has been invaluable. She has helped us better understand our child and given us thoughtful, practical guidance on how to approach specific situations. She combines open, insightful discussions with meaningful education, equipping us with tools and perspectives that we continue to use every day. We're very grateful for Jeanette's care, professionalism, and dedication, and would highly recommend her to other families.

After four years of working together, the therapeutic relationship ended during a period of…read moresignificant distress for me. Attempts to address concerns did not lead to repair, and the focus shifted toward protecting the therapist's personal boundaries rather than supporting stabilization or closure. I left feeling blamed for my distress and unsupported at the end of care. This experience was destabilizing and painful, particularly given the length of the relationship. I encourage others with complex mental health needs to discuss in advance how conflict, boundaries, and termination are handled.

My husband and I were hoping to take advantage of our insurance covered therapy sessions before the…read moreend of the year to have a relationship tune up. I reached out to Coastal Counseling after reading the great reviews. It took days before hearing back from anyone and then after giving my information to the receptionist (?) they said they would reach out to the therapists to see who would want to take us on. Weeks go by and so I follow up and then the person asks me all the same questions again and then says the same exact thing...they'll reach out to the therapists. Another week goes by and then I get a text message asking if we could do an apt 2 hours before I told them my husband gets home from work. Which is not doable for us. Still waiting to hear back....guess I should look elsewhere. There services are probably great, if you can wait around long enough to actually get an appointment with someone.

I truly value how she balances empathy and understanding with thoughtful challenges that encourage personal development. Julie's warm, caring personality and sense of humor makes sessions feel approachable and enjoyable. I also appreciate how she shares her own experiences, as it encourages open conversation and gives me alternative ways to think about things. My time with Julie has made a meaningful difference, and I strongly recommend working with her. Thanks Julie!

If you've tried traditional one on one counseling or group counseling and it's helped you work through a lot of stuff past and present, call Michelle. I don't mean to sound like a cliche, broken record, but EFT will help you work through your "stuff" so quickly, it's unbelievable. One session will leave you feeling like a different person. Multiple sessions will change your perspective forever. How does it work? Well, for me, I think of an issue I'm having (yesterday I worked through the fear of recording my music) and Michelle will help you to change the energy of the fear/issue from negative to neutral to positive. I'm now stoked about recording today. Phew! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about her. Definitely feel free to contact her. Best of luck!

I completed Dr. Wendy's Renaissance course and it was definitely a life changing experience for me…read more I had been working with her for 3 months individually and decided to attend her 5 day intensive course. I was at a crossroads in my life so to speak and Dr. Wendy, along with my fellow Renny's, helped me through it and along the way helped me realize that I was enough and deserved more and better. I highly recommend working with Dr. Wendy and if you are lucky enough to attend her Renaissance work shop I highly recommend it as well.

UNBELIEVABLY off-base. First time I met with her was with…read moremy sister, via web conference. Reason we were meeting was to resolve long-standing family issues. I'm the family scapegoat, purpose of family therapy - address elephant in the room. Why rules which applied to everyone else, did not apply to me. My (narcissist/golden child) sister insisted on meeting with her first, before we met together, the 3 of us. Unaware of what was said in that first meeting, was still hopeful Dr. Hill could help to bring awareness to my family about this toxic family dynamic, so that we could move on harmoniously, as a family. While family scapegoating abuse (FSA) is increasingly more common & gaining awareness, it's not fully understood by mainstream therapists. In this situation, counseling can do more harm than good. Especially for the person who's been systemically abused since childhood, not only by the mentally ill/narcissist parent who targeted her, but rest of the family who learned (consciously/subsconsciously) to treat her as the family trash can. That said, during our FIRST session, Dr. Hill said to me, "you DO know you are an alcoholic, right?" I was shocked. I am NOT an alcoholic. Not even CLOSE! And who the hell is SHE to tell ME I am an alcoholic? She didn't even KNOW me. I LITERALLY just met her. No words to describe how offensive this was. Even my sister agreed how bizarre and completely inappropriate this "diagnosis" was. It was just WRONG. I'll be filing a complaint with CA Board of Psychology. This person should NOT have a license. Talk about "doing more harm than good." FYI - not a wonder her therapist license was revoked (aka "voluntarily surrendered") for "unprofessional conduct" in 2007. So how is she still practicing? A loophole law, aka starting a "non-profit" as "ordained minister" several years later. Just exposing the obvious, so that others can make an informed decision. Proceed with caution. *IMPORTANT & RELEVANT- Maria M.'s review - posted only MINUTES after mine? Previously only 33 reviews. Ever posted. IMMEDIATELY after I post mine, Maria M. decides to post her review? What a strange "coincidence?" Again, encouraging everyone to decide for themselves what's going on here. But ... what are the odds?

I came to her when I was feeling hopeless in overcoming my 20+ year battle with anxiety. After trying years of talk therapy, and seeing little success, I made the decision to try hypnotherapy. Just a few weeks into working with Zhanna, I made more progress to overcome my anxiety than I did in the years of weekly psychotherapy sessions. Her style is extremely hands on and integrated as she gives you tools to help you stay accountable to your own healing. Most therapists I've worked with make you feel like another patient, and use a cookie cutter approach. But with Zhanna you feel your treatment is a truly unique experience and that she is just as invested in your healing and your progress as you are. I can't recommend Zhanna enough. She is intuitive, nurturing, compassionate and empathetic. Working with her has astronomically changed my life, how I see myself and my own potential. My only regret is not starting to work with her sooner! If you're ready to truly make a shift in your life, working with Zhanna is a no-brainer. It's challenging work, but her support and encouragement along the way makes it worthwhile. Make the investment in yourself and you will see your life shift radically.

There are many fine therapists in the area, sadly she is not one of them. Considering other postings online, it appears this person is most interested in money and not the client.

She is a GREAT listener and incredibly insightful! Davida is smart, genuine, and so easy to talk to. She immediately puts you at ease - like you've known her for years! Davida exudes the purest form of nonjudgemental guidance in her approach to psychotherapy. She doesn't just dwell on her client's past wounds, but helps them address present day situation(s) which are causing pain/discomfort via goal-oriented and compassionate therapy techniques. It is also noteworthy that during the Covid pandemic, Davida has made it incredibly easy to continue seeing her safely by offering tele-therapy sessions. Davida is a wonderful therapist (one of the BEST) and I highly recommend her!!!

Excellent therapist!! Davida is smart, caring, and genuine. Within the first meeting, I felt…read morecomfortable and in good, capable hands. She is authentic in her approach, very down to earth and a real person. She helped me with issues of anxiety, family relationships and work related stress. Davida taught me techniques and strategies I could use so that my thinking was more balanced which really helped improved my mood and reduced anxiety.   Another plus to meeting with Davida is that she offers a ton of community resource information. She referred me to a couple of other professionals who were great. Also, she is super well read and suggested multiple books that were informative and helpful.   I have referred Davida to several other people who have had equally positive experiences! Thank you Davida for guiding me toward greater happiness.

I recently had my first reading, and was so blown away by the experience, which felt like a cross between a therapy session and a meeting with a medium. The guidance that my guides/teachers/family members gave me through Brea felt like long elusive puzzle pieces that had dropped into my lap. I've never before tapped into this dimension that surrounds us, and had no idea what to expect. Because of this experience, I've made some fundamental shifts in how I am managing my life journey. It was a powerful supplement to my years of therapy, bringing me a deeper level clarity. The best part is that she recorded the entire session, and I have listened to it several times, peeling back more layers of understanding. I look forward to delving deeper into my Akashic Records with Brea, and highly recommend Brea for anyone who is looking to gain a better understanding to their life journey.
