It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation.

I felt that I needed to get clarity on some family issues and wanted to speak with someone that can relate to issues with children. As a single parent that is remarried we had to all adjust to new family dynamics. Were not crazy but sometimes our household has arguments and we need to all learn to communicate. I went to Tina because my friend told me she is young and an expert in the areas of social media issues. My son spends all day on instagram and my other son does not talk only text. After a few sessions I felt and great deal of relief. I highly recommend Tina to any family that has kids and is remarried. She is very easy going and we felt she really cares about helping us.

Therapy can be hard to go to, due to shame or the stigma around mental health. It's so often…read moresomething that is talked about in hushed tones. For a very long time, I was told I didn't need therapy because "I had a good life", but only you can make that determination for yourself. It's important that the motivation to come to therapy comes from you, as it creates a willingness to be more open about receiving feedback and the work you do in the therapy setting. In the time that I've been working with him, Johnathon has helped me work through difficult experiences and the way I view myself. When you've spent so much time around people that try to define who you are and what you should be, a more neutral perspective is welcoming. It's extremely profound for my feelings to be validated. Letting ourselves feel emotion instead of suppressing it is vital to moving towards better mental health, and Johnathon created a safe environment to do so, despite my own desire to "get back to normal" or feel a more positive emotion quicker. Sometimes, therapy can feel rigid or impersonal, but sessions with him feel very different from that. Johnathon gets to truly know the way his clients think and feel, and that is signficant. When you're in a session, it feels welcoming and open. You're allotted a moment to orient yourself in the space instead of feeling pressured to come up with a topic of conversation immediately. This is truly client-focused therapy, which is significantly different from previous therapists I've seen, who have a different approach of asking many questions upon their client's arrival. That may work for some, and it can be helpful, but to be put in the position of coming up with my own topics for each session, it helps me determine what is truly important, and what speaks to me the most on any given day. Priorities can change, and that's perfectly okay. Therapy can also take a financial toll if it's outside of one's budget, and I applaud Johnathon for working with me on pricing. The cost of living has gone up significantly for many of us, so being able to afford therapy and come to a compromise on the pricing made it easier to make the commitment to better myself. If you're looking for a remarkable therapist, look no further than Dr Johnathon Neda.

When I called Dr. Neda, I didn't know what to expect but when I started to work with him, I realize that he is very caring, and empathetic, and has a lot of experience. I feel that he has a human perspective where he looks at every individual as a human being and not someone that is treated and is expected to go home, but he has that intention of really helping. I feel that my journey and therapy has started, but it's been something where I have been discovering a lot about myself and I feel that he has really helped me do that.

I cannot say enough good things about Arolyn. I've known her for over a decade and have worked with…read moreher on and off during that time, and she is deeply trustworthy, grounded, and truly exceptional at what she does. She is easily one of the most skilled clinicians I've worked with, and arguably one of the best in the area. I drive nearly 3 hours to see her, and it is absolutely worth it. In just a few sessions, I've experienced more meaningful progress than years of traditional therapy combined. Her approach is precise, intuitive, and highly effective in a way that feels both clinical and deeply human. She also has techniques that have provided immediate relief for symptoms like tinnitus, which I had been struggling with for a long time. If you are considering working with her, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has genuinely been life-changing for me.

Arolyn is also an LMFT which really adds to her effectiveness in knowing how to use a tool like hypnotherapy alongside traditional therapy. I used her for therapy sessions in addition to hypno. Her hypnotherapy technique is unique but in order for it to be effective, it requires you to really do the work (as with any therapy). But it is worth the effort! I found Arolyn to be attentive, kind and generous. She helped me work through various blocks to get around negative thought patterns. I now have a recording that is like my own personal power ballad. Arolyn tucked in all of these thoughtful little tidbits from our various sessions into this special recording designed to help lift you up and focus your energy and thoughts. That recording wouldn't have been as robust without her help and without us both spending quite a bit of time on it. I now listen to that recording most every day. With Arolyn's help, I learned to go into a deep meditative state that helped to change the waves of my brain and even more difficult, learned to change the language that I use. And most of this work was really done between appointments with the tools Arolyn showed me. It isn't a super power but it does take effort on your part. I plan to keep her number handy and use her again when needed. Thank you Arolyn for your support and guidance!

But anyway, why is this guy leaving another review? During my 1st round of sessions, Sheva helped me deal with my HOCD. This 2nd round, she helped me deal with my "regular" OCD. Life has never been better. And it's all thanks to her and her organization. See, I knew what I needed to "fix". But I needed help doing it. It's like getting a personal trainer, an accountant, a contractor, etc. Could you do it yourself? Sure. But having an experienced, professional helping hand is usually going to be smoother. I wasn't sure I wanted to disclose what exactly I was getting help with. But if someone out there somehow lands on here and is experiencing the same thing (HOCD - which is probably a little more unknown as a term), then it might be worth it. You can self medicate, numb the pain, or do any other number of things with the money you'd spend here. But it won't be worth it.

Knowing full well that post-covid the need for mental health professionals was on the rise and therapists were booked to the brim there was Mehry who was different than the rest! She reached out to me in a timely manner after I inquired if she could take new patients, that was around June '22. Here I am nearly two and a half years later continuously seeing her and attending weekly sessions. I can not emphasize or state enough just how much of a difference she's made in my journey. She's very attentive, caring, empathetic amongst her many other qualities not only as a doctor, but as a human being first and foremost. As she's told me, verty humbly albeit, you don't need to give me credit for having made progress in your mental health journey, I'm just here to guide you. Even if the role of the therapist is to guide you to find the answers to your issues and have you fix them yourself, there's no doubt that Mehry being the doctor allowed me the space to open up, be vulnerable, have the faith in her as a professional and most importantly in myself that I can move forward. There's no doubt that having Mehry along for that journey was a big help. The fact she allows for MediCal patient to see her shows how much care for people from all walks of life she has. I mean, words cannot express my gratitude for her very existence, help, and for being my doctor. Mehry's care and approach towards her patients is one of genuinity. Please be rest assured that you can trust her on your potential journey with her. In a field that sometimes people may not have the most ideal experiences, I want to show that with a healthy set of realistic goals and expectations you will be surprised just how much Mehry is a star of her field. Thanks for being my doctor, thank you for allowing me to be a patient when it felt I couldn't find anyone else, that is a feeling I will not forget and carry with me throughout my life. I will always be grateful for everything she's done, I can not say it enough, if you are looking for a doctor, give Mehry a chance!
