    This is the bill they sent me after they said i am free and clear and owe them nothing left after hitting me with the $750+ bill.
    Althea B.

    AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!! 1. Dont count on your therapists always being there, i had more than one that just left the practice without a word and found out later from the business themselves calling to set me up with some one new. The therapists are great, i think the business is just ran awfully, and my current therapist from this place chose to leave to join a different practice. Says a lot about how the office runs things if they cannot keep therapists working there long. 2. If you ever have an issue with insurance, like a lapse in coverage or any coverage issues, instead of calling to let you know, they wait until you have a $750 bill!!!! And they sure as hell expect you to pay it. I had to do a payment plan and it took me more than a year to pay off the balance!!! Also they will charge your copay so randomly that it feels like youre getting double charged at times. 3. After no longer using their services for over a year, and after i paid the large bill, they are still billing me. I just got another notice in the mail that they want me to pay them another $80 for services from 2023-2024!!!! Like wtf i already paid you guys for this stuff and now youre just trying to get more money out of me??? Not to mention the billing department is extremely difficult to get a hold of.... TLDR: AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. If you end up finding a good therapist there, they will leave, and they will take any opportunity to nickle and dime you with bills even after you leave.

    This was my search on insurance website to find an in-network pschologist

    I was completely let down by this unbelievably ridiculous service provided. My health insurance lists this ENTIRE facility as in-network. Thinking I was lucky and finally found a psychologist, they wait more than a day to tell me that it's only psychiatry and for therapy it's out of pocket pay, which my insurance says is false/poor information and that they DO cover out-of-network just not as much. They still deny to see me, which is because, i assume, they don't care to help me nor do they care about my desperate plea to get psychology service. The office keeps calling 3-5 times per day in a row when they know I'm at work and can't answer and they've already told me they won't see me. Overall, extremely rude, the worst customer service that i have received in a long time, and liars.

    Calling me different names, and not reading anything.

He actually let me practice and learn how to drive stick shift in his own personal car, and we had my therapy sessions while we were driving. He did that out of pure compassion, just to help me out when I was down and to give me a necessary skill that I'd need for my career going forward. I'd highly recommend Dr. Legler to anyone looking to see a psychologist in Santa Clarita, especially those who've had trouble getting comfortable enough to open up with other therapists.

    Absolutely wonderful and the therapist you have been looking for! I found these guys via my…read moreneighbor who is a respected therapist but I couldn't go to her because well, she's my neighbor. She told me that Caring Connected is a great group and I would be happy with them. This isn't one therapist, this is several therapists under one roof. When you call, there's a social worker that manages the practice. They will do an intake. Most importantly, they will spend time with you to ask what it is you are looking for. What qualities are you looking for in a therapist? Have you had bad experiences with other therapists? They want to know. The social worker will pair you with a therapist that they believe will meet your needs. From the moment I called, I felt a genuine sense of caring. To say that many therapists in Santa Clarita are not the greatest might be an understatement. I once went to one elsewhere and the therapist was late to every appointment. Not a little late either, on average about 45 minutes late. And there was the other one that took zero interests in my issues and said, "I don't know, maybe you should try medication and then come back." Gee, thanks. So after doing my intake, I was told that they had someone in mind for me that they felt would be perfect. I was reminded that after my first meeting with the therapist, if I didn't feel it was a good fit, they would assign me to someone else and that I should not hesitate to ask if I wanted to. Even the therapist on our first meeting reminded me that if I didn't feel she was a good fit, I shouldn't feel bad asking to change. Thankfully, the therapist I was placed with was exactly what I was looking for. Exactly. I was with someone that was qualified, experienced and specialized in what I was dealing with. I could not be happier! Billing is a snap. You do place a card on file with them. You walk in and walk out. They will charge your card and email you a receipt. Need a super bill? Not a problem, they will help you with that as well. Need to submit to insurance? They will provide instructions that can help you make sure your claim is paid and not rejected. Just a heads up, they do not take insurance. Keep in mind, therapists that take insurance have to agree to a reduced rate that the insurance companies force them to charge. Think about it, if you were a good qualified therapist and one of the better ones, would you go to work and take less money? I've begun to suspect that this is why I had such a problem finding a decent therapist from the list provided to me by my insurance company. Thankfully, I'm able to submit my receipts to my insurance company. Although they do not cover the same percentage they would if the provider was in network, they do cover a fair amount and this helps. Like many other things in life, you get what you pay for. Super thankful I found these guys!

I don't see him that way. She degraded my husband, asking me "do you STILL like this man" and was extremely judgemental that I stayed with him for 25 years and that I am still a resident of AZ since that's where my husband lives. It was the weirdest session I've ever had with a Dr before. It was like a toddler with ADHD who asks a question, doesn't wait for the answer then asks a different question. I tried 3 times to redirect the convo to the topic I came to discuss & she would change the topic .

My friend recommended I talk to a psychologist because I was so stressed out and I reluctantly agreed. Meeting Dr. Cicconi was like a breath of fresh air. Her office was very welcoming. There was a couch in the waiting area and a love seat in her office. Her little office was furnished to give it a comfy, homey feel. I found the hour long visits went by very quickly because I had so much to talk about. Dr. Cicconi was very warm, personable and experienced in her field. She was able to reassure me and give me lots of great advice that I still use to this day! She was also able to recommend a progesterone cream (Kokoro balance) that helped me so much my hormonal issues went away! And she recommended a quality brand of melatonin supplements (Source Naturals sublingual) to help me sleep. After seeing her only a handful of times my health had improved so much that I decided to stop seeing her, but to keep her number just in case anything changed. Over the years I have tried different brands of progesterone cream and melatonin just to try to save money, but time and again I have learned that those two brands she recommended are the best I can find. After I stopped seeing her I recall bumping into her at the movie theater a few weeks after my last appointment. I was excited to see her and I gave her a big hug and thanked her for her help. She was happy that I was doing so well and did not pressure me to keep coming, (like some places do sometimes). Even though it has been so long since I have seen Dr. Cicconi, I am still so glad I did because, without her help I don't know where I would be. Thank you, Dr. Cicconi, for your dedication to the profession! My family and I appreciate you! :)

    I've been working with Renee since April of 2012, and our work together has been nothing short of…read moremiraculous--a divine gift. When we started on this journey together, this sort of side-by-side walk, I was completely bereft of hope and flipping around in the muck of my life like a beached porpoise. I had no expectation that I would be anything more than a "bottom feeder," which is how I had described myself during our first conversation. In fact, I was seriously contemplating suicide; I sincerely wanted to just disappear without a trace. I wanted my life, my history, my pain, my disappointment, etc to just be blotted out. Unfortunately, I simply could not see a way out of a seemingly bottomless unhappiness, and I was certain that my entire existence was a colossal mistake--a sort of cosmic joke. Working with the dreams that I was able to share with her, she helped me, by degrees, to "pick up the thread" of my purpose and place in this world. This is something that I simply did not think was possible. How could it be that talking about dreams in this unique way could buoy my spirits and dramatically alter my understanding of how and why I'm here? How could I come to understand that my being here was not a mistake in any way, shape, or form? Renee's dreamtending is not some facile parsing of signifiers (ie, daffodils mean renewal and salmon symbolizes fecundity); it's something difficult to describe, but ultimately full of content that speaks to and salves the soul. This work requires a certain amount of courage and fortitude--I've turned away from the responsibility of *knowing* time and again--but Renee is such a wise and gentle and comforting teacher and friend that everything becomes much easier to bear. There is so much to learn should I choose to--Renee makes no demands, asserts no pressure, and lets everything come to pass in its own good time--and I feel so blessed to know that Renee will continue to guide me and work with me and the gifts of the dreamtime. I always feel so lifted every single time we speak. Indeed, Renee helped me to open my heart enough that, after 39 years of being single, I finally cultivated enough openness and faith to allow someone to come into my life. He is a beautiful beautiful human being, inside and out, and we were recently married! Renee has shepherded me through the most amazing transformation of my life, and I'm sure there is much more to come.

    Dream tending with Renee has been an intensely profound experience. I tell all my friends that…read moreworking with Renee has made me want to really be here on the planet, whereas in the past, I had been rather lukewarm about this life as a human being. I had engaged in many activities to change my orientation to life, but nothing has impacted me like this work. In these last 5 years of working with Renee, I have shifted from being often depressed and sometimes despairing to waking up excited about what the day might bring. I have become so much more awake to my life as a result of spending time with Renee and my dreams. The way it works is a bit of a mystery, but I have certainly felt "loved forward" by my dreams as Renee assures us dreams will do. I am always surprised by what the dreams reveal, and the wisdom and support they bring us. I have learned so much about the patterns in my life that no longer serve me. And I love how the dream time reveals our foibles in such a creative and often funny way. The work is deep, but also delightful. Renee is a truly a gift to all of us who get to work with her.

They are very good about pretending it's not about the money, so far my experience was it's all about the money. They can say whatever they want but the proof is in their non-action.

It is a powerful experience that can be life altering and it's an absolute shame they dropped the ball.

Our first meeting with Inna we both felt she understood what my daughter needed and began therapy right away. Inna has an incredible mixture of kindness and caring combined with directness and gave us specific tools that helped us tackle this issue from week one. She explained the biology behind what was happening in my daughter's body so we could understand and connect each tool with why she was doing it. Through the course of treatment, my daughter always looked forward to going and all the tools Inna gave her have translated into many more peaceful nights. I feel strongly that my daughter has been immeasurably helped by getting these coping tools early in her life that will carry with her through adulthood. Inna also performed hypnosis therapy on her, and the very next day we noticed huge strides in a deeper level of comfort. What I also love about Inna is she will let you know when she thinks a you are ready to graduate from therapy. This tells me that she truly cares about someone getting better versus how big her patient list may be. Inna is amazing with kids, doing therapy not just by talking but also by playing games, drawing, and creating, which really appealed to my creative daughter. Above all, I've really appreciated the specific tools that were given to put in affect each week to build on progress. Huge thanks to Inna!

I am licensed as a psychologist (PSY14007) and as a marriage and family therapist (MFC14374). I am also endorsed as a pastoral counselor by my denomination (American Baptist Churches, USA). I have an APA-approved doctorate in clinical psychology and four years post-doctoral training in psychoanalysis. I specialize in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

I have found that I work well with those who suffer from anxiety and fears, depression and other mood disorders, relational and marital difficulties, sexual dysfunction, adjustment disorders, personality disorders, and with those who have become mired in a pattern of distructive behaviors.

I would strongly recommend her services. Also, Dr. Ahuja's office manager, Katherine, has been very helpful with making quicker appointments.

    I am extremely disappointed and shocked with my experience with Dr. Vasudha Ahuja at Valencia…read morePsychiatry. I had a 60-minute initial intake appointment on January 15, 2026 and was prescribed Lexapro with instructions to follow up in one month to monitor how the medication was working. Shortly after the visit, I discovered that my insurance had been billed for both a 60-minute psychiatric evaluation and an additional 60-minute psychotherapy session. I did not receive a separate psychotherapy session. When I questioned the billing and asked that the claim be corrected and resubmitted to insurance, the office refused to rebill the claim. Instead, they simply removed the portion I would have owed but kept the insurance payment for the psychotherapy service. Shortly after raising this concern, my follow-up appointment was canceled without any prior notice. When I reached out to confirm my appointment date, I was told it had been canceled and that I needed to find another provider. I was never informed ahead of time, never given formal written notice, and no transition plan or assistance was offered -- despite the fact that I had just started a new psychiatric medication that requires monitoring. It was very clear that my treatment was dropped as a retaliatory response simply because I questioned their billing practices. Patients should be able to ask legitimate questions about billing discrepancies without fear of losing access to care. I also found the front desk staff member, Katherine, to be extremely rude and condescending in her communication. Instead of addressing concerns professionally, the responses felt dismissive and unhelpful. To make matters worse, I have repeatedly requested my medical records from my January 15 visit and still have not received them despite multiple follow-ups. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. In my opinion, this practice seems more concerned about money than providing proper patient care. Because of these concerns, I have reported this situation to my insurance company for potential billing fraud and have also filed a complaint with the Medical Board of California. I would strongly caution anyone considering this provider. A psychiatrist out of all professions! One is supposed to care for patients mental health and well being!
