It's hard to find good therapist or child psychologist with the insurance we have. However, I went…read moreon Yelp, looked up all the child psychologist in my area and I had to leave a great review for Dr. Monique Montalvo! Despite not being her client, Dr. Montalvo went out of her way to speak personally on the phone with me regarding some behavioral issues my step son is having. She gave so much helpful information that his dad and I have moved forward with the necessary help! Many other places we called, just brushed us off since they didn't take our insurance. But Dr. Montalvo was personal, insightful, helpful and truly caring. Thank you once again for everything you shared with me!

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.

He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

When I first reached out to them, I was really struggling with religious trauma and anxiety that was taking over my life, but Emily was incredibly patient and understanding during our consultation. She explained reiki to me in a way that immediately drew me in, and after my first session, I just knew it was the right decision for me. Reiki has helped me find a sense of peace and relaxation that I never thought was possible due to my anxiety. Emily is not only skilled, but also compassionate, and her safe and welcoming space has become a haven for me. Since starting my monthly sessions with her and combining it with therapy and breath work, I have noticed significant improvements in my mental health. During my reiki sessions, I sometimes experience sudden outbursts of emotion, but I know it's my body releasing trauma and that I'm on the path towards healing. I feel the energy in my body moving in some parts more than others, and while it's difficult to describe, it's an incredibly powerful experience. If you're also struggling with mental health concerns like anxiety or trauma, I wholeheartedly recommend giving reiki a try at S.A.G.E holistic health and wellness.
