I never thought I'd need to write this kind of review about a healing center, but my recent…read moreexperience at Rise Healing Center left me stunned by how cold and unfeeling the administration can be when real life happens. I had an appointment scheduled with my therapist -- someone I respect deeply and who has been consistently compassionate. But on that day, my wife was stranded 50 miles away, alone, in a dangerous situation. Her safety was at risk. I canceled my session immediately so I could get to her. I expected understanding. Instead, I was told I would be charged a late-cancellation fee -- not reduced to zero, not waived -- because "policy is policy." When I explained that this was a genuine emergency, the owner's response was essentially that they can't decide what is or isn't an emergency for someone, and that my therapist "deserves to get paid" regardless of the situation. She called it a "concession" to only charge me half of the $120 fee. Read that again: my wife's safety was on the line, I dropped everything to help her, and the owner's priority was enforcing a billing policy. There was no empathy, no discernment, no acknowledgment that safety comes before revenue -- just a rigid defense of the rules and an insistence that charging me was justified because I had "agreed" to it in the intake paperwork. The contrast between my therapist's genuine care and the administration's cold, transactional stance could not have been sharper. It was disheartening to see a place that advertises trauma-informed care fail so completely to practice it when it mattered most. If you are considering this practice, understand that emergencies -- even ones involving the immediate safety of a loved one -- may still result in charges. And based on my experience, don't expect compassion from the administration when it conflicts with their policy.

In November 2014 I was in a car accident and suffered a mild tramatic brain injury. Not only was…read moremy brain not working properly, I started suffering from PTSD. So I looked for someone who practiced EMDR, covered by my insurance, and as close to home as possible, as I had difficulty driving without feeling anxious! Little did I know, I chose the best licensed psychologist in Santa Barbara, CA! Within 6 EMDR sessions my PTSD was gone!!! I was able to drive again without the anxiety and fear that someone was going to crash into me again. After the EMDR sessions, we addressed my TBI and Dr. Staso suggested I try 10 neuro feedback sessions. Well, guess what? My brain started working again! I am grateful to Dr. Staso, for the EMDR, and the neuro feedback sessions, for having transformed my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me. I feel like "Ellie" again! I feel more relaxed, calmer, and less anxious. In addition, I believe I am more focused. I would highly recommend Dr. Dan Staso to anyone suffering from trauma, anxiety, and any kind of psychological issue! He is truly the best!
