Amanda Granier is amazing! Can't say enough more positive things about her. I was initially quite nervous to meet her, and skeptical of relationship counseling in general, but Amanda immediately dispelled all my concerns through her understanding, communication style, and the wonderfully trust based environment she cultivates. Plus, she has a great sense of humor to boot! I recommend her to everyone I know, and apparently everyone I don't know too! read more

We are so grateful to our couples therapist, Vicki Ho. Working with her was one of the best investments we made in our relationship. We had the option to go through insurance with another therapist, but chose to work with her instead, and we're so glad we did. Her guidance was well worth the out-of-pocket cost. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where both of us felt heard and understood. She helped us better identify unhealthy patterns in our relationship and gave us practical tools for communication, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. We left sessions feeling more connected, hopeful, and equipped to handle challenges in a healthier way. After a few months of therapy, we can honestly say we're now in a much better place in our relationship. She really is an effective therapist, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for couples or individual therapy. read more

Going into therapy and having to articulate these feelings can be challenging, yet there's something special about Pei's ability to create a supportive environment. She exudes calmness and stability, offering a presence that brings clarity, even in tough situations. Relating, self-healing and transforming her own experiences of pain into a source of support, gentleness and grounding has allow me to understand my journey in more in-depth ways than I had ever experienced. This is evident in her attentive listening, her consistent presence, and the thoughtful way she assists others during challenging times. read more

If you're thinking about therapy, I can't recommend Pei Chai enough! Since she's lived in various countries, she totally gets what it's like to be a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and the challenges of feeling stuck between different cultures. Pei's approach is so refreshing, she doesn't just focus on the surface issues. She really helps you dig deep and heal from the inside out. Plus, since she speaks both Mandarin and Thai fluently in addition to English, she's able to offer support to people with those cultural backgrounds. Highly recommend! read more

I wasn't really looking for a place to commit to, but I think I found the people I trust. After interviewing a few other people, the lady Kay, at Relationships For Better, didn't make me feel rushed or pressured to discuss things with her. I felt like she really took the time to get to know me and gave me honest feedback about how I sometimes react to things the way I do. The session with her helped me better understand myself and am so grateful for the time she spent with me, so thank you! read more

If you are looking for lasting results or just a genuine feedback to improve your relationship. I highly recommend Kay from Relationship for Better. She dives deep with her clients so they can truly understand themselves and knows how to access their skills. read more

Their space is warm and welcoming and has been the best fit to focus on my self-growth and, by default, improve my relationships. Grateful! read more

I have known Vicki Ho for over 10 years in a local church setting close to USC where we coordinate on a team to provide children's care on Sundays for children ages 3-10 years old. Vicki has always been a reliable, responsible, and collaborative team member who is aware of the children's developmental stages and is able to engage with the children in an enthusiastic and caring way. In addition, Vicki has mentored other younger and less experienced ones who have circulated in and out of the team over the years, such as USC college students, showing them how to care for the children in the same way. This has fostered a sense of community and belonging for college students who are away from home. I highly recommend Vicki due to her character, competence, and work ethics. read more

Vicki is a warm, nonjudgmental therapist who considers strengths and builds on them. She has an optimistic approach to therapy that focuses on finding solutions rather than just looking at problems in my life. Love working with Vicki and am super appreciative of her help over the past year! read more

I've had therapists in the past who were good at their jobs, but for whatever reason we didn't click. I've also had therapists where we clicked, but they were bad at their job. This is the first time I've experienced both -- a good therapist AND a click. That may sound weird, but that winning combo is what makes a patient turn occasional therapy into consistent therapy. And consistency is key. It also helps that there's free parking next to the offices. read more

Vicki is a caring, compassionate, and effective counselor as well as a professional, responsible, and collaborative team player!

Having co-led marriage ministry workshops alongside Jo-Ann for years, I can say she's a phenomenal leader with a deep understanding of relationship dynamics. She's now using her expertise as a therapist at Relationships For Better, and I couldn't be happier for her and the clients who will undoubtedly benefit in their relationships. Her workshops on communication skills and focusing on feelings have helped dozens of couples move from disillusionment to real joy. Jo-Ann is down to earth and practical, yet so compassionate and insightful. Her calm demeanor and caring intensity make complex issues feel manageable. She has taught countless couples that love is a daily decision and leads by example. Jo-Ann isn't just a therapist, she's a role model for making relationships a priority. read more
