    After losing my income, I ended up on Medi-Cal and had no choice but to find a new therapist. This…read morewas the seventh program I tried after being denied a single case agreement from LA Care--and it was by far the worst. I told them exactly what I needed: a long-term therapist, one consistent LMFT, someone experienced who could actually handle trauma. What did they do? They threw me with an intern, forced me to sit through a session, and then, in the second session, she told me she was quitting and I'd be reassigned. And guess what? No one ever contacted me again. Despite promises, I was left completely on my own, after sharing my deepest traumas with someone I would never see again. That's not a mistake--that's cruelty. This program doesn't care about you. They care about billing LA Care and giving interns hours. If you are struggling, do not go here. You will be tossed around, ignored, and treated like a dollar sign. Southern California Counseling Program exists for their convenience, not yours.

Trauma of any sort can affect your mental health. Nothing to be ashamed about when you are not well. Living in denial and do nothing to help yourself will not help you. When you are not well your behavior can affect the ones that have to deal with you. The counselor told me that a sign of good mental health is someone who is positive and observant. I was initially afraid to get mental counseling because I imagined getting myself in a straight jacket in a padded room. I was wrong to think that way. I AM SO GLAD I WENT AND GOT HELP!

    THIS IS IT!…read more 5-STARS: I did the searching, I read the reviews, I asked for the pricing. I did the comparison for you. She's the one. Don't waste your time and energy searching yelp and google (I'm the investigative shopper type). Rush to her website and book a virtual or in person session! THE STORY: I found Christina at what has been the scariest obstacle in my life--life threatening illness. I knew it was finally time to do the one thing I'd refused to do for years, face the facts...I can't "figure it out on my own", if I want real health and wellness green juice wasn't going to be the only strategy anymore, and I had to face the really scary truths. Let's just say, no matter how good things seem to be or how much you pretend them to be...your mind knows the truth! EXPERIENCE: Christina literally radiates this amazing energy! She has the perfect balance!! She isn't faking the funk or robbing you with some astronomical price that will just stress you out more. She finds the it what YOU need each time you go. She isn't harsh or intense- she's honest, so unless you want to keep lying to yourself, she will make you own the truth (but don't worry she will walk you out of the stuff that's been weighing you down with love and laughs and fierce female vibes!). You will leave feeling all the pressure off of you! But even when you leave your session, she gives homework! So the healing doesn't stop after you walk out, she gives you things you can incorporate each time to help you continue the work! IN A NUTSHELL: She's basically AMAZING! If you want real, honest, authentic, powerful, transformative healing...you see Christina. Love, a best friend!

    Christina saved me! After my divorce, I was battling depression and perhaps the saddest and most…read moredifficult time of my life. Not being able to spend time with my children felt like someone had ripped an arm off of me. I tried maybe 4-5 different therapists, psychologists, and even hypnosis. None of it helped me until I met Christina. I am very grateful!

    Really top quality care for medication needs for those of you who had struggles with side effects…read moreand getting medication in the right dosage because you are on several. I had to change my provider a few times before meeting Dr. Won. Other helpful things to keep in mind: Unless you are looking for Spravato or medication requiring blood pressure or other active monitoring, virtual consultations are possible. She has two office admins who are very quick to respond to emails, help with appointments, and prescriptions. If need be, they also speak Korean fluently. Spravato is offered for in person visits and a private room with a reclining chair as well as soft music is provided along with heart rate monitoring. Please note that their in-person office hours are before 4PM on weekdays.

    We live in Koreatown, and my son suffers from addiction, Bipolar I disorder, depression, delusions,…read moreand severe suicidal impulses. He has been hospitalized multiple times in psychiatric facilities and has also completed a stay in a rehabilitation center. After finishing his rehab program and returning home, we searched for a nearby psychiatrist and found Dr. Won, whose office had good reviews and was within walking distance. However, when we contacted the office, the reception staff repeatedly told us that we needed to bring either a referral from my son's primary care physician or a letter from his insurance group confirming that, if the group declined payment, we could submit the claim directly to Health Net. My son is covered by Obama Health Net, and his assigned insurance group is Legal Group. To my understanding, psychiatric care does not require a referral from a primary care doctor. Nevertheless, because the office insisted, he contacted both the primary care physician and the insurance group. Both confirmed that Health Net does not require a referral for psychiatric care, nor do they issue any letter or document of the kind the office was requesting. He informed Dr. Won's office of this over the phone, but they showed no understanding or flexibility. They continued to insist on the same requirement and even went so far as to suggest that we change my son's primary care provider in order to obtain the form they wanted. They also said that if we were unable to get a referral but still wanted to see the doctor, we would have to pay $350 upfront, and that they would later reimburse us only if they successfully received payment from Health Net. Just one weeks ago, my son attempted suicide and continues to suffer from severe depression. Despite this difficulty, he made every effort to gather his strength, see his primary doctor, and call the insurance group as requested. It is deeply concerning that the staff at Dr. Won's office seemed unaware of the vulnerable state of the patient they were dealing with. Their focus appeared to be solely on avoiding any potential financial loss, rather than on the well-being of a patient struggling to stay alive. In the end, my son did everything he could to meet their demands, but due to their unreasonable and repeated requests, he ultimately gave up on seeing Dr. Won. After days, he could contact with another psychiatrist, whom he met today. The new psychiatrist did not require a referral -- which aligns with the standard procedure for psychiatric care. Although I have not met Dr. Won personally, it is difficult not to conclude that the reception staff's behavior reflects the overall attitude of the office. Here's the English translation in a clear and professional tone: Although Dr. Won is a young psychiatrist in the community and many patients seek her care -- with some likely benefiting from her treatment -- based on my own experience, it is very sad and distressing to feel that she views patients who are struggling mentally and desperately seeking help merely as a source of income.
