I played the ACOA Adult Children of Alcoholics Role of The Lost Child (and a little bit of The Mascot, cuteness was always on my side, clowning, not exactly.) Dr. Bob definitely has a gift working with folks who are either/both the Alcohol Addict aka Alcoholic as well as the Family Members and now Adult Family members. If you're struggling with your weight, even to the point of Obesity (for such folks as might be looking at Chapman's Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery program), there is typically an emotional component and JUST dieting or doing WLS alone without also addressing the mental/emotional components with great therapy with someone terrifically experienced like Dr. Bob is only to equip yourself half way. I'd addressed them before for years and had done a tone of highly useful and effective personal work on these already with the 12 Step Programs and others, and found I now needed deeper work on another layer of the onion. How I Found Dr. Bob: My primary medical doctor, who is down the block from him, didn't cite him. His process was to refer me to a Psychiatrist who would then secondarily refer. The first Dr could not even see me. The second, based miles away from me, all the way across Orange County, himself couldn't see me for over 6 months and instead had an offer for me to see a Nurse (I don't remember her credentials title...). I made the appointment. At the time I had a physical exhaustion thing going on (for which I had originally been hospitalized) and couldn't drive myself across the county to the Dr.'s appointment. More than a week prior to the appointment, my OC Access privileges (van ride for the disabled 2 hrs before the appointment) hadn't kicked in yet, so I called to reschedule. More than a week before! And the receptionist gave me grief over it, that they could have scheduled others for the appointment. Then after she accepted my cancellation, telling her I needed to reschedule do to issues with my disability, she informed me that first time patients who canceled attempting to reschedule, the Dr. had the policy to refuse to take them then. I still need to report them for not accommodating my recognized disability, but I then was back to the drawing board. My primary care Dr. had no one else to whom to refer me, so I was stuck. However, I had been in and out of the ER at Chapman with the chronic bronchitis which Kindred Santa Ana had sent me home with no prescriptions to assist me, and at Chapman, they'd given me a print out of other services referrals. There was a Psychology category. Bob was in it and his office was less than 1 mile from home. I phoned and texted with him, and he got me into his office for a MUCH needed first session in under 1 week. SO much better than everywhere else where the staff was more concerned with business and nothing for being a HELPING service. Dr. Bob has always combined being very professional with his caring and therapeutic agility. While we were at it, a couples therapy issue also surfaced and is a recurring theme, and my partner was amendable to JUST ONE session with a therapist because he had formerly had some negative experiences with couples therapists who charged a ton and apparently didn't really listen. Well, Bob listens and it's obvious he does. My partner really liked him and in our session with him and some reflection on his part and then a new negotiation between us, we turned a corner. We still had months to work on it and live it out (the homework of life, right?). Bob really listens and reflects on what's going on with me (you) without trotting out anything too Psychology school specific (Freud, Jung, Gestalt, etc.). He's very easy to talk with and quite wise with a warm disposition. He drinks a small coffee as do I during my weekly session with him. So, you know he's also human! I highly recommend him to individuals and couples. He's terrific.

Over the past 20 years I have worked at the St. Joseph's Medical Center in Orange, Ca. I am closely connected, and receive referrals, with the physicians in this group as well as other St. Joseph's physicians in other locations through -out Orange County. I was the Clinical Directory of Psychological Services for the Yorba Park Medical Group, Orange, Ca, from 1992 to 2000. I became a Diplomat Fellow issued by the International College of Prescribing Psychologist in 1996. This honor represents 325 hours of course work aimed at eventually authorizing psychologist to prescribe Psychiatric Medications. This has not been authorized in California and I cannot prescribe medications. Over the past 10 years I have also supervised students pursuing doctoral and masters degrees in psychology and counseling. I find this to be a rewarding experience and look forward to expanding this area of my practice.

Even though she lived about an hour away from us, I decided to call her because of all the great things I have heard about her. She picked up the phone and the first feeling was that she was warm and professional. I explained the fact that my daughter was in another state and if Dr. Taylor can help. She suggested if she could do this via SKYPE. I agreed even though I was skeptical. To my amazement I received a call from my daughter raving about Dr. Taylor. Additionally in spite of my doubts about therapy through Skype, within short time I witnessed a great improvement in my daughters' attitude and the fact that my daughter can resolve her issues herself via Dr. Taylor's guidance. To quote my daughter, "Dr. Nancy seems to understand me, as if she was inside of me and feeling what I am feeling". I guess, Nancy is a true professional with heart and sole of a young woman as my daughter. I recommend Dr. Taylor with great enthusiasm.

In fact, it was 3 years of therapy that, looking back, really on helped me in the first month to deal with the initial reason for seeking help. I which I would have known about Self Help back then and probably would've saved years of therapy that was going no where. From my very first session with Nancy, I felt there was real progress. I got insight to my learned behavior from past experiences and how that affected my reaction/connection to the world around me. Both my internal and external reactions continued to shape the present experiences that caused continued fear and guilt that was paralyzing. I wasn't myself. But with Nancy's guidance, I learned more about my internal processes and that understanding empowered me. Through each session and "homework assignments" I gained new confidence and regained control to bring about a positive behavior change that allows me to enjoy myself again. I also brought my adult son and my husband to these sessions and it has helped them as well. Also, although these sessions were not covered by my PPO insurance I was able to get reimbursed through my Healthcare spending account which is a huge plus. They are very punctual, professional, and responsive. Though sometimes they don't answer the phone right away, they usually respond within the hour when I leave a message. They are very clear about their no show policy at the first visit. They are respectful of your time and they expect respect for theirs as well. I've been to over a dozen sessions and never waited more than 5minutes for my appt. I've had to reschedule twice and never got charged a no show fee because I notified them at least 24hrs in advance. It is a professional practice for excellent self help therapy.

I went to her with severe anxiety and depression and with incredible knowledge, years and years of experience with different age groups and a heart of gold she completely changed my life around. I got extremely lucky that she was the first therapist I went to, but I know most of the time that's not the case. So I'm writing this review to tell you if you've gone to other therapists and you're about to give up because you feel like you can't open up to them or that they are judging you or just don't understand you.. DON'T because Dr. Mazaheri is the exact opposite of that. Every session I couldn't wait to talk to her because she made me feel so comfortable that I could easily open up. I was able to tell her things I couldn't tell other people in my life because I could trust her and I respected her advice so much. I counted on her for a few years to guide me towards the right direction in life and she was with me every step of the way. I went from being in a very horrible place in my life to now having a incredible career, wonderful personal life and I can say I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been mentally and physically! You don't find doctors like her everyday and for me personally my mental health is extremely important and I was in the best hands! When I stop and think about how far I've come in life she's always one of the first people to come to my mind because I honestly don't think I would be the same person today if I had never gone to her. Goodluck to you :)
