Our child looked forward to every session and always left smiling, already excited for the next one. The environment was calm and private, and scheduling was always easy. We consistently found times that worked for our family without stress. Today, our child has graduated from therapy with a confidence we can truly see and feel. They now have the tools they need to face their fears with strength and resilience. We're so grateful for the care, patience, and warmth Nicole brought to this journey. Thank you for helping our child find their courage.

My spouse and I had a truly positive experience with Nicole. We started seeing her to develop…read morehealthier communication strategies, particularly as we were within the first year of our marriage. Nicole challenged us both during our sessions, and gave us a mix of individual and couple homework assignments to practice self reflection and effective communication. What we appreciated most about our time with Nicole is that she worked with us to "graduate" once we developed a consistent pattern of meaningful communication and showing up for each other. Would recommend Nicole as a couples therapist in a heartbeat, particularly if both individuals are committed to putting in the work inside and outside of sessions.

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. (:

After following someone else in we proceeded to wait in her lobby for about 10mins. 20mins late she came out, brought us back. We talked about insurance and my $30 copay and how that all worked (honestly we prob talked about insurance and money for 5mins) After explaining the ins. she let us know she was just going to ask "exploratory" questions to see what was going on. By the end of her "exploration" she stated we fought a lot.....yes that's why we came....but that there wasn't anything "wrong" and she wouldn't be billing our insurance. We were then also told that IF she had found something wrong, billing our insurance would cause problems later as we would have a "mental health defect". THEN told us that the session would cost $230.00 due immediately. Never was the full session price discussed, She did gave us this list to take home......We already practice everything on this list and discussed that with her prior to her writing it out as a $230 prescription. (Which I changed the verbiage from "rules for fighting" to "ideas for conscious communication" At a time when my family was vulnerable, hurting, and reaching out....she took advantage. This woman robbed my family. She did it knowingly and she did it willingly.

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.

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.

Fortunately, my therapist ended up at another firm, so I was able to continue to see her. She's fantastic but I would not go back to daybreak because of the way treated my therapist and me.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but the visit ended up being one of the most thorough and comfortable mental health appointments I've ever had. Justin led the full intake, and he was excellent. He was calm, patient, and really attentive to everything I was saying. He asked thoughtful questions, followed up on things I mentioned earlier in the conversation, and kept the whole appointment feeling steady and supportive. What really stood out was how well he balanced professionalism with being easy to talk to -- it didn't feel rushed or scripted. After the intake, Michelle joined us and added her clinical insight, and the two of them worked together in a way that felt seamless. She clearly trusted Justin's assessment, and the way she expanded on his notes made it feel like I was getting a full team approach to my care. She explained treatment options clearly and checked in with how I felt about everything before moving on. I walked out feeling genuinely understood -- not just diagnosed. The teamwork between Justin and Michelle made the appointment feel incredibly thoughtful and complete. The office itself was calm, clean, and well-organized, which just added to the whole experience. If you're looking for mental health care in Long Beach, I definitely recommend this location. Justin and Michelle make a great team, and I left feeling much more hopeful than when I walked in.

I've been going to Progeny Long Beach for a little while now, and I finally decided to write a…read morereview because the care here has been consistently excellent. My provider, Maria Acevedo, PMHNP, has been an incredible support throughout the entire process. She's one of those clinicians who really listens -- not just nods along but actually pays attention, asks questions that matter, and takes the time to understand what's going on beneath the surface. From the very first appointment, I felt like I could be honest with her without worrying about being judged or brushed aside. Maria has a calm, grounded way of talking that made it easy for me to share things I usually keep to myself. She slows down to explain things clearly, and she doesn't push you into anything you don't feel ready for. There's a balance to how she works -- direct when she needs to be, but still gentle and patient. You can tell she genuinely cares about getting things right. And I have to mention Kristina at the front desk because she's been an absolute gem every single time I've checked in. She's one of the most patient, organized, and kind front office people I've dealt with in any medical setting. She always greets me politely, helps me with scheduling questions, and makes everything feel very straightforward. Even on days when the office is a little busy, she manages to stay composed and friendly. It's honestly such a relief to walk into a space where the first person you see is someone who makes you feel supported instead of stressed out. There have been a couple times when I arrived flustered because of work or traffic, and Kristina was just incredibly understanding and calm about it. That kind of kindness goes a long way, especially when you're already dealing with mental health concerns. The office itself is quiet, clean, and feels safe -- no loud waiting room, no chaotic energy, none of the things that usually spike my anxiety at other clinics. Everything here runs smoothly, from check-in to follow-up scheduling, and it's clear the whole team cares about creating a positive experience for patients. Between Maria's thoughtful, compassionate care and Kristina's warmth and professionalism at the front desk, Progeny Long Beach has become one of the few medical places I genuinely feel comfortable going to. I'm really grateful I found this clinic.
