Katie Ortiz, LCSW, is an amazing therapist. She listens deeply, challenges unhelpful thought…read morepatterns, and offers practical tools that make a real difference in daily life. I started therapy with her during a very vulnerable time and after months of work, felt strong enough to step away knowing I could return when needed. I'm incredibly grateful for her support and wish more therapists practiced the way she does.

Very glad to have found this practice!…read more They have multiple therapists who all offer individual specialties from adolescents, family, substance use, eating disorders, and trauma. All the offices are very clean and inviting. I appreciate that they offer online visits as well if that's a better fit for someone who has a tight schedule or transportation issues . Best of all they accept and are in network with my insurance !

I am a chronic therapist shopper. I have to like 6 here in L.A.. When Jessica and spoke, she asked…read moreme this straight out. Before she made an appointment with me, she was curious to know what wasn't working in those sessions and what I was looking for. She nailed it. Without her saying it, she made me look at myself first. Was I ready? And then she said to think about it before I made an appointment. I did. This was quick and easy!!!

Jessica has been an absolute healer in my life. To be completely honest, I am 4 months into…read moretherapy, and I feel like a different person than I was before. It's funny, a lot of people hesitate to speak to a therapist because they feel "they are fine." Yes, you can be fine, but you still have the capability to learn, grow and broaden your ways of thinking. Little did I know... I'm all about insight and perspective - Jessica flows with that. I've told her certain things I'd like to work on, my hardships, my good times, and moments that were challenging for me. I'm not going to lie, these conversations were foreign to me because I've always been the type to talk to others about how they feel, not really ever about how I feel. She genuinely cares about the shifts I want to make in life and guides me through it - it changes the game! Jessica has a powerful energy that really makes you want to conquer goals that you're working towards. She is a wonderful listener and gives the right amount of challenge to better my ways of thinking, being, and reacting. She is there any time I need her, judgement free, ready to deliver. I learn more about myself after every session with her, and am grateful to have found her especially during this crazy time!

Her firm but fair approach took me by surprise at first, but she was able to break through mental and emotional barriers that I never imagined that I could ever get over. Her technique has given me so much confidence and rejuvenated my outlook on life. I'm happy to report that it's been 6 months now since she graduated me and I've never felt more optimistic about my current life and my future. I actually miss my sessions with her. If you're considering help, I can't imagine a more effective therapist. I've since recommended several of my friends and they're all raving about her.

Dr. Hunanyan is fantastic…read more I've had a few in person sessions with her, and she also offered guidance with my medication and other challenges over the phone with no charge. In both circumstances I felt heard, supported and encouraged. She is quite busy but when she is not available she, or someone from her staff gets right back to me. Her staff is super friendly, efficient and helpful. In-person sessions always leave me with a great feeling, and in one situation where she felt like she may not be the best to treat me, she offered several recommendations and connected me with other professionals. This is someone I trust on a personal and professional level and can't recommend her highly enough for anyone seeking help, wisdom and guidance.

Dr. H cannot be beat. She has been pivotal on my road to bettering my mental health…read more Her keen listening skills and comforting nature made it easy to connect with her on levels I haven't been able to with other health care professionals. She is careful and honest. Being sure to not jump to quickly to one answer or another. Mental health is a journey and I recommend her as a helping hand on that road.

I cannot imagine anyone going to this office in need of actual help because the staff is absolutely atrocious. I wish I had the courage to stand up to the bullying and abuse I experienced after my father's sudden passing from every single person who worked in this clinic. There was legitimately only 1 therapist who took the time to check in on me at work and understood how difficult it was to work in such a place while trying to grieve. I'm glad to hear it's owned by a different company, but if any of the doctors and staff are still affiliated with this practice, then I would avoid it all costs. I should have sued for wrongful termination and still would if it were within the statute of limitations.

Why I chose a Psychiatrist over a Psychologist is because their MD specialty allows them to teach their patients about the science of the brain and its effects and connections to the body and to the emotions. In addition, they share recent studies and their own research with you in order to help you understand your dilemmas and/or condition. Dr. Penciu clearly understood my dilemma and immediately began giving me tools to reach resolve. He has excellent bedside manner and I highly recommend him. Sincerely, Christine G. Padua
