I want to add my voice to the chorus of current and former clients expressing their appreciation…read moreand affection for Olivia Stadler. Six years ago, I sought her help specifically for psychedelic integration after a surprisingly potent trip left me cautiously concerned about the lingering effects that the experience had on my mind and body. What I had anticipated would be a few sessions has turned into more than five years, as Olivia guided me through a tumultuous but ultimately transformative awakening. My approach to living, attitude toward others, and overall life energy has changed radically for the better. Olivia is an empathetic, compassionate and focused listener who has a powerful calling for this work. She has helped me to make sense of my life thus far, find and nurture my authentic self, and harness the exhilarating life energy we all have within ourselves. Until I worked with her, I had believed and acted as if outside forces and other people's actions were what directed the course of my life. Now I know in my body and mind that, by examining myself deeply, it is within my own power to manifest the life I want. This statement that is often attributed to Carl Jung resonates with respect to my therapeutic relationship with Olivia: "A true therapist isn't the one who gives advice, but the one who can carry the weight of another's unconscious without trying to fix it." Because Olivia has the skills and strength to carry my unconscious, I have been able to "fix" myself. Olivia Stadler has a great gift, and I recommend her to anyone with the courage to acknowledge and confront difficult truths on their way to wholeness.

She really helped me understand myself and gave me so many tools that I still use today to manage stress and anxiety. Really helped me with the passing of my mom, too.

I miss her the most, don't tell Olivia lol) By the way, location in Pacific Grove is fantastic.

Our experience with this office has been extremely concerning, particularly the way we have been…read moretreated by reception and the lack of communication regarding continuity of care. My son was referred by our insurance to nurse practitioner Laura Slippy in April for an ongoing medical issue. She prescribed medication and made a referral to an office with a long waitlist. She said she would provide care until then. The earliest specialist appointment we could obtain is in November, so she had continued managing his care while we waited. Without any warning or discussion, she stopped responding to refill requests from the pharmacy and became unreachable through messages. When I finally reached reception to find out what was happening, I was told that because my son had been referred, she would no longer provide care for this issue, no warning or plan for the withdrawal symptoms his medication can cause. I was told the clinic manager would call me, and then the receptionist hung up on me. At one point I actually asked the receptionist if everything was okay or if we had done something wrong because the hostility I was encountering was so unexpected and unlike anything I have experienced from a medical office. Most concerning is that my son was left without his prescribed medication and without a continuity-of-care plan. We were given no advance notice that the NP intended to stop prescribing it, no appointment to discuss discontinuing it, and no explanation from a clinician about how his symptoms should be managed until he can see the specialist. Unfortunately, this was not my first troubling experience with this provider. I was also referred to Laura Slippy for ADHD medication management after previously being diagnosed by a psychiatrist. During my appointment, she told me that I could not have ADHD because I was not a "12-year-old boy" and recommended that I stop my medication without tapering. After stopping it, I experienced severe symptoms and ultimately sought urgent medical care from another provider. I understand that providers may decide a medication is no longer appropriate or that a specialist should take over a patient's care. My concern is not that a provider made a medical decision I disagreed with. My concern is the absence of communication, advance notice, and a safe plan for ongoing care, combined with extraordinarily rude treatment when I tried to find out what was happening. Based on our experiences, I would not feel comfortable trusting this office with my family's medical care again.
