I've been working with Marina for over 6 months now and I am truly grateful for the work we have…read moredone together, specifically the shift in my thinking I'm experiencing as a direct result of her suggestions and feedback. I was very skeptical of talk therapy - this wasn't something I really wanted to do! But it seemed apparent I needed to try something new and I'm laughing now at my stubbornness. Marina has been a wonderful listener, and although sometimes just that sounding board is enough, she is **much, much** more than that. I feel motivated, challenged, and inspired by our sessions. She's given me new perspectives and ideas that I hadn't considered before. She isn't afraid to give me honest direct feedback that challenges me, but she delivers it gently enough to help me hear the message. That is what has been the most helpful, knowing and trusting that she's going to engage with me on such an honest level, regardless of how she thinks I may feel or react. She is a fun problem solver and super creative. Lastly, I'm excited to start bringing my husband to a few sessions with me. She's highly trained in the Gottman method of couples therapy/marriage counseling and I feel very confident this will be a game-changer in our relationship, just as our one-on-one therapy has been a game-changer in my personal life.

I cannot overstate the impact Marina has had on my life. Over the years, she has supported me…read morethrough profound grief, major life transitions, and the ongoing realities of raising a child with special needs. What sets Marina apart is that she doesn't just listen with deep compassion--she provides real, practical tools that help you navigate life and solve problems in meaningful, lasting ways. Her guidance is thoughtful, grounded, and immediately usable. I leave sessions not only feeling heard and supported, but equipped with strategies I can apply in my day-to-day life. Marina has a rare ability to balance empathy with clarity, and I always feel respected and never judged. Working with Marina has been truly life-changing, and I am deeply grateful for her support--and for the care and skill she brings to this work.

I had seeked counseling with numerous other therapists before her and never felt like I could break through the surface of my trauma. With Donna, I felt immediate changes within a couple sessions.

Finding Donna was such a relief for us during a time when we truly needed guidance and support.

We're very grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to couples looking for thoughtful, constructive support.

My reading with Jessica Morris was enlightening, informed, and inspired. As this was my first…read morereading, Jessica prepared me for the process and made me feel at ease. Her style was simultaneously professional and calming. Jessica was able to contact loved ones of mine who have passed on, and to deliver identifying dialogue and messages from them. These communications were delivered in full compassion, and completely without judgement. At the end of our session, I had greater clarity and understanding. I believe that Jessica's gifts, along with her knowledge of the human psyche, give her a balanced approach to empathic mediumship.

This is the first time I ever attended a group meditation. I found it's true what other people say about group meditations that they have a sort of synergistic effect on your own meditation.

The TMS treatment helped tremendously. I was scared and skeptical to be honest, but as I sit here and wrote this review, I am at peace. I have my energy back. I still have problems (haha) but they aren't for me to solve. Thank you for everything your team has given me. I truly adore you guys and will be forever thankful.

My review is long overdue:…read more I was attending a DV program in LA County for several months, then started a new job In Ventura County which conflicted with my weekly class schedule. I searched and found Westlake Village Family Services. I explained to Dr Kaufman that I completed a certain amount of classes and didn't want to lose the credit. From the get go he was extremely helpful, explained the classes are in the evenings and conducted by his wife Rhonda, forwarded me all the paperwork so I can continue my DV classes that same week. I really looked forward to Rhonda's classes , I appreciated the fact that she took time to ask each of us how our week has been, asked us about any updates with our cases that we wanted to share, and all the ladies in the class were so welcoming. It really felt good to have a safe place to talk about all the unfortunate things that were going on, when I couldn't discuss them with my friends or family. Each class she did exercises with us that helped me gained a lot of insight. I was also court ordered to do individual therapy and asked Dr Kaufman if he had any availability which luckily he did. Dr Kaufman is truly one of a kind because he is invested in his clients success. For almost two years he has helped me tremendously with my DCFS case always listened, guided me, helped me stay positive, and truly wanted me get my son back. Even when my case was getting complicated he reminded how far I came to getting my son back. He is extremely knowledgeable and helps you see things from different perspectives. I can't recommend Dr Kaufman and Rhonda enough to anyone who needs to do DV classes or needs individual therapy. Both of them truly care about each and every persons success.
