My experience with Nicole was really positive. She created a non-judgmental and safe environment…read morewhere I felt comfortable exploring the issues I was facing. She always asked thoughtful questions, gave realistic homework to work on between sessions, and genuinely inspired me to want to change and move forward. One thing to note is that Nicole isn't the type of therapist who just sits and listens. She offers her opinions and advice, which I haven't seen many therapists do. Sometimes those are hard truths, but nearly every time she turned out to be right. Her approach, which is grounded in research and data, properly framed our discussions and helped me face issues with confidence. If you're ready to put in the hard work, I highly recommend seeing Nicole. You won't be disappointed!

Dr. Nicole has been such a great resource for my daughters and our family. One of my girls was…read moreexcited to start therapy, while the other was a little unsure at first. From my very first conversation with Dr. Nicole, she made me feel comfortable. She took the time to tell me about herself, asked thoughtful questions about my daughters, and really wanted to understand their personalities and needs. What I appreciated most was how personal and collaborative the process felt. She took the time to get to know both me and my girls, and we worked together throughout their journey. I could share things going on in their lives that might help guide conversations during sessions, and she was always supportive and understanding. She was also incredibly flexible and helpful with our constantly changing schedules. Most importantly, both of my daughters genuinely enjoy their sessions with her and feel connected and comfortable talking with her. I'm so grateful that she has been a safe and open door for them as they've grown up -- especially through big milestones like one of them graduating. I've truly been able to see positive emotional growth and maturity in both of them. As an added bonus, she was able to work with our Kaiser insurance, which made the process even easier for our family. I highly recommend Dr. Nicole to any parent looking for someone caring, personable, and genuinely invested in helping kids thrive.

Dr. Andrea has truly been the best thing for my husband and me. We've been seeing her for nearly…read moretwo years, and the impact she's had on our lives is immeasurable. She has helped me improve my communication skills and taught me de-stress breathing techniques, among so many other valuable tools. Dr. Andrea creates such a supportive and understanding environment, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and empowered. I'm extremely grateful for her and so happy to have her guiding us through this journey.

EMDR has helped me process and release deep-seated traumas that once felt insurmountable. It enabled me to revisit painful memories with a sense of safety and to reframe my narrative in a way that empowered me. Somatic Experiencing allowed me to reconnect with my body, releasing stored tension and fostering a renewed sense of grounding and vitality. I felt supported, respected, and guided in a way that honored my unique journey. An IFS approach has allowed me to explore and heal parts of myself I didn't even realize were influencing my thoughts and behaviors. The sessions were all tailored to my needs, and the integration of approaches worked beautifully together, creating a holistic healing experience that addressed my mind, body, and spirit. The transformation I've undergone is evident not only to me but also to those around me. I feel lighter, more present, and more in tune with myself. Anxiety and fear that once controlled my life have significantly diminished, replaced by confidence, peace, and resilience. I've gained tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to explore these therapies with Andrea and would highly recommend them and her to anyone seeking healing and personal growth.

I've been seeing Ariel since June and I'm so happy and thankful to have met her! Ariel is genuine,…read morefirm, and easy to talk to. During our sessions, I feel that she carries herself in a very welcoming and chill positive vibe, which I love about her. Ariel has always been so accommodating and flexible when scheduling an appointment to meet with her. I am also appreciative when she gives me a confirmation text before we meet the next day even though I have it in my calendar already. It's definitely those little things that matters! Honestly, it was really hard for me to understand and tell myself that I needed a little help, mentally. I was terrified in reaching out to any therapist, but I'm so glad I reached out to Ariel! I love how I can freely have a conversation with her without any judgement, move from topic to topic, and know that she can keep up with my thoughts and emotions plus help me sort it all out. I have shared some heart felt, deep and meaningful conversations with Ariel that I'm so relieved to be able to get it off my chest. I definitely feel that since our first session in June, Ariel has been by my side to help me open up, grow, heal, and learn to love and accept myself. She literally my cheerleader supporter but more chill vibes than perky haha. It really means a lot and I'm so proud of the progress we have made so far. I hope for others that are reading this as well, they will have the courage to reach out to Ariel and get the help they need. It's okay to ask for help. I'm so happy I did and reached out to Ariel. Healing is such a beautiful thing. (:

Rose is an amazing therapist! She is very grounded, humble, and gentle. She helped me get through…read moremy first episode of depression, when I thought things were hopeless. She encouraged me to persevere with the tools she helped me develop, even when I wanted to give up. She spent time outside of our sessions preparing reflection questions for me, and she asked questions to her friends who had similar life experiences as mine in order to bring more insight into our sessions. Rose is definitely a gem, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist. She is very experienced and is also a professor at CSU Long Beach for the MFT program. She takes most insurances, and if she's out of network for your insurance, she gives you the appropriate info to process your claim. As a physician whose patients struggle with depression, I now have new insight into depression and a tremendous value for the importance of counseling. Also, she is a woman of faith and prays for all her clients outside of her sessions with them. If you are a Christian, know that if you bring up your faith, she will take it into account during your counseling sessions. If you are not Christian, she will not bring up faith unless you do, but she will still be praying for you on her own. So in summary, definitely check her out. She's happy to do a phone interview for you to figure out if she might be a good fit for you. But for anyone out there struggling, make sure you give counseling a shot. You may need to try out multiple counselors before you find one who's a good fit for you, but it's well worth it.

I was repeatedly given false information regarding the insurance coverage of one of their social…read moreworkers. As a consequence they wasted maybe 5 months of my time waiting to see somebody who I thought would be good but I found out I would have to pay 100% out of pocket. Do not believe anything they tell you without independently verifying it with your own insurer. In my case it involves Medicare and Blue Cross Blue shield. Neither one of these covered the provider and question yet I was told she was under both initially and in fact she was under neither. I won't mention the provider's name because this is not her fault but is seriously problematic.

I use speech to text so excuse me for any grammatical errors and no paragraphs…read more OK, so I've been seeing Dr Nguyen now for probably three years or maybe four years... He and I have established a great relationship I have talked to the representative Nikki a couple time. Today they called me about the next appointment but I was on the phone so I didn't answer and then I called back immediately and I got Nikki. when she answered the phone, she says it real fast where I'm not even understanding what she's saying and then I just got quiet, she finally says after a few seconds what did you need? so I said you called me... At the moment I felt like and I have felt this before about her and also older woman, Joanne Johanna maybe Johanna's not there anymore cause I don't hear her but there are too quick to respond. No Johanna's quick ...Nikki is seemingly disinterested about asking for information. IMHO I don't think she wants to be there or if she does and she needs some CUSTOMER PATIENT SERVICE training. She has a soothing voice, but she was looking for me to just start supplying information to her and I thought no I'm not gonna say sh_t, I felt the need to leave these so that other people and especially senior citizens are treated with respect. I wouldn't want anyone to lose their job but if they don't want to be there and don't want any more patient customer service then they don't need to be there in my opinion and also I've been in business for 40 years. I would never hire someone who doesnt know how to extend themselves to a patient on the phone. All the rest of your crew is great! Love them I noticed you have a lot of new people. They are wonderful to deal with, but I'm leaving my comments. Johanna may not be there anymore, but she had a harsh undertone to her whenever I talked to her so there you have it and the two stars is for those two not for the rest. Have a great day.

She has helped me put the pieces together in a way that has shaped my understanding of emotions, grief, life. What I value the most from her is the science I like that she gives me the details and explains to me many theories and perspectives that are rooted in science and philosophy. She makes me feel seen, heard and understood. She works at my pace. And really listens to me. I am forever grateful to have found her as my therapist. I trust her and will recommend her to my family and to my friends if they ever needed. My experience using virtual sessions has been great because I like that I can schedule my sessions online using the portal. And then just clicking the link in my email on the day of my sessions. we use all the session time effectively. I never had an issue getting a session and she always responds promptly to messages. Booking in advance is important. I usually plan my sessions for the month. The only inconvenience I've had has been with the layout of the calendar when picking a session I don't like that I have to scroll week by week. Is more efficient for the user to have the option of seeing the calendar month displayed with the days that are available and the ones that are not. Is easier to scroll month by month Than week by week that I find very time consuming. Not every therapist fits ones needs but she did for mine.

We missed our last appointment because my mom had to go to the ER for shortness of breath. We've been seen there for at least three months without any medication changes, and this isn't a new medication. I asked if we could get about six or ten pills until her appointment or if we could put a message in the pharmacy for them to hopefully get a hold of them. This is near impossible, so now we're told that we have to wait until our phone appointment on Friday, the 23rd. She did move the appointment up, which I'm grateful for. Maybe tomorrow when she calls back, she'll try to get it sooner. There was minimal interference with my phone because it was down and I was using my boyfriend's phone. However, it's unacceptable that they haven't helped us get these medications filled for this long. The lady on the phone kept repeating that we missed a call from them yesterday to get the appointment moved up and that we missed our last appointment. I apologize for taking my mom to the emergency room, but I missed that call. Life happens. Unfortunately, my boyfriend didn't have their number in his phone and didn't recognize the number, so I don't know if it went to voicemail. We never received that message. I called back today to get help, but we still haven't received the Seroquel refill of 25
