Scott Fish was my therapist for approximately seven months. I've had therapists on and off…read morethroughout my life. And without a doubt, my overall experience with Scott Fish was the most disappointing, the most souring I've ever had with a therapist. It wasn't until months into our professional relationship that I finally caught onto Scott's true agenda. Let's just say I, the client, was never the number one priority when it came to my own therapy with Scott Fish. It truly blows my mind that there are people in this world who'll justify their actions and abuse their position of power to get what they want, however they can get it and betray a client's trust/confidence in the most abhorrent, despicable manner imaginable. And at the end of the day they're still able to look themselves in the mirror, pat themselves on the back and tell themselves, "What I did was not out of malicious intent!!!" It would seem unfair that I'm leaving a one star review for an entire establishment such as Hope and Healing Counseling Services, due to my experience with one therapist, but I stand behind my rating. This is because I reached out to Scott Fish's manager Vanessa and asked to speak to the owner about my grievances with Scott Fish. I was basically brushed off. I made it crystal clear I wanted to speak to the owner Ramon Hernandez. It's been months. Ramon never contacted me. What Scott Fish did with me has got to be the most damaging thing I've experienced in decades at the hands of a clinician, or anyone for that matter. It has significantly impacted my ability to trust in others. When I finally confronted Scott Fish about what he did, he snapped back real quick and said, "Well....! I didn't record anything...!!!" with a big shiteating grin on his face. All I can say to that is, when Scott Fish's same laptop he had open and active during every session, a "record" button doesn't need to be on in order for information during a confidential therapy session to be accessed by another entity. And curiously, he switched out his laptop to a different one when I confronted him again for our final session on December 2nd. I filed a formal complaint against him through his licensing board (Board of Behavioral Sciences).

For help with long-standing treatment-resistant depression, I approached Ketamine infusions with an…read moreopen mind, but with a healthy degree of skepticism. Having completed a series of 6 infusions, I am extremely pleased with the outcome -- a marked improvement in my symptoms. Moreover, I can't help but also recognize the notable "consciousness-expanding" effects (not something I was necessarily seeking out). Everyone at Reset Ketamine were absolutely wonderful. Dr. Ko, in particular, operates his office with professionalism and integrity. As Ketamine goes more "mainstream", I believe it is important to find a provider who is has a deep interest and passion for Ketamine therapy, and not merely someone jumping on the bandwagon to cash in on the trend. Reset Ketamine is top-notch and deeply committed to advancing the professional practice of Ketamine therapy.

A review of our relationship with the firm of Kelly and Kasey…read more My wife and I are parents of a son with special conditions. These conditions became apparent only recently and baffled our son's school officials and us. In spite of many parent/teacher meetings and to our dismay, our son's struggles continued and even worsened. Less than a year ago, we lost my father - our son's grandfather - and we attributed this to his difficulties. However, much to our heartbreak, our son continued his downward path. It was at this point that my wife and I decided to seek professional help. Desert Marriage & Family Counseling was strongly recommended to my wife through her valley business network. We met with Kelly Lewallen, LMFT, and were greatly impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and manner in which she explained a very delicate condition. Her handling of this heartbreaking episode in our lives was nothing short of miraculous. She was introduced to our son and quickly established a rapport with him that was kind, gentle, and reassuring. Moreover, she gently but firmly assured two worried guilt-ridden parents where the root cause of our son's difficulties lay. Needless to say, my wife and I were much relieved to finally know the real cause of our son's issues. Kelly then brought to bear her professional staff member, Kasey, to begin setting up a plan that recognized our son's condition and would allow him to fully utilize his scholastic skills and lead a full and satisfying life. Kasey immediately connected with our son and he was enthusiastic about his school plan. When we met with school officials, staff member Kasey accompanied us to present the plan she had drawn up as well as answer questions raised by the school officials. Currently, the school district is evaluating this plan but we are very glad to see that our son has re-engaged his schoolwork and is doing much better. None of this would have been possible but for Kelly, Kasey and the Desert Marriage & Family Counseling, Inc. We owe them a debt of gratitude that goes beyond mere words. Joanne and Ric M.

I had contacted this behavioral health group to see if I could get couples counseling for my…read morehusband and I. When I spoke with Iris she said she would check for any availabilities and unfortunately there were no providers available at that time. I guess I made sort of a distressed sound since the process of trying to get a counselor had been going on for weeks and had been very frustrating but she told me that she would look up our insurance and see if she could find any doctors that maybe we hadn't heard of before and would text that information to me. She texted it less than an hour and a half from my phone call and I was sincerely surprised because literally do I do not usually speak to such nice people and then they do me a favor, a big ask, without even me being their customer. To be honest on my very first phone call we were able to get a therapist and we have an appointment with next week, and an appointment a week for the next month. I felt that Iris went way above and beyond for somebody she didn't even know and those are the kind of people that should be rewarded and thanked and normalized. Thank you Iris for all that you did, especially for a faceless stranger on the phone.

Have been to 6 previous Psychiatrists & Sleep Drs for Sleep Studies and prescriptions based on the results. None of the previous Dr's were able to help me in the least. Dr. Connelly listens intently to your symptoms & concerns, and researches for the best option to address your problem. Since 2019, I normally have only slept for 2 hours each night, then the rest of the day have had zero energy making me feel horrible both physically and mentally. He prescribed me meds and last night I slept 9 hours uninterrupted and feel like a new man!!! His Assistant, Joelle sees you in the exam room before the Dr, taking information from you and relays it to him in a manner which gives him more time to do research in order to help you quickly. The Dr's Wife Jessica is the Receptionist and along with the Dr. & Joelle, all are sincerely friendly, empathetic and extremely helpful. I could not be any more grateful for the help I've received and the way I was treated. If you or Family or Friends need inpatient assistance, Dr. Connelly is the Medical Director at Coachella Valley Behavioral Health Hospital in Indio. If anyone prefers to see him in his private practice, it is also located in Indio. Highly recommend Dr. Connelly and his Team for their top notch service!!!! Sincerely, Tom Oney
