This is going to be a personal and detailed review, so I'm going to start with my physical and…read moremental condition before training with Dan, and ending with where I am currently. I was raised in a traditional Chinese family, where the parents focused strictly on studying, piano, tutoring, and no video games. I was definitely pretty good at all, but I was not enjoying anything that my parents made me do. I wouldn't say that I grew up miserable, but I was definitely confused and didn't know what the point of "ME" was since I was forced to do what my parents wanted me to do. In high school, I participated in lots of clubs, got really high GPA, and student body president, blah, blah,blah and I ended up in a top 20 university. Here's where the story gets interesting. After I left home and started living by myself, I tried lots of things in college. Drugs, alcohol, partying, just everything a young college student would do. But the worst of all, was I blew up. I gained 80 pounds in my college life. My physical condition was in horrible shape, and it had a dramatic effect on my mental condition. I was depressed. I came home after college trying to start or pick up my life before I left for college. But I was just in bad shape. Then I met Dan during my junior year coming home from college once, and we trained on and off. But it wasn't until after I came home after graduation did we start training consistently and effects where shown. What Dan differs in training is that he really helps you with your mental state. He listens to you each day and focuses on you each training session so you don't have doubts. Fast forward 1 year, now it's 2018. I've lost 80 pounds. How I did it, I'm not gonna go into details, because that's my journey and I don't want to spoil it for you if you train with Dan ;) But if you have lost hope and stopped believing about weight lose, just give Dan a try. Trust me. It will be worth it:)

Last year, I started training with Dan before I started my first year of college. I wanted to work…read moreout with a coach who would help me achieve my fitness goals. However, after meeting Dan, I knew that I was going to gain so much more than just a toned body. Dan not only trained me so that it was ideal for MY body, but he also taught me very valuable tools that I can use during my everyday life. For example, I learned that working out is so much more than just having "a butt and abs"; it has so much more to do with your mindset and attitude. Through Dan, I've learned to have a calmer peace of mind and to actually get excited to work out, as well as eating healthier. Now, I'm about to start my second year of college and I can still say that after training with Dan for two summers, I still learn something knew about myself every time I work out!

My spouse and I were going through the most difficult time in our marriage and Dr. Robbins went…read moreabove and beyond for us. If there was a gap in us coming (due to my husband schedule) the office would call to check on us. He gave us many resources, books, shared his years of professional experience with us and we both trust him. He was so patient and when I would ask him questions he always would listen and made me feel heard even when it was difficult to hear. He always referred us to the Bible and quoted many scriptures, which was huge for us, and reminded us of what's most important. It allowed to walk and respond to the situation as God would want us to.

I normally don't write negative reviews, but my experience with Dr. Robbins left me deeply…read moredisturbed, especially during our last couples therapy session. One of the most concerning moments was when he told me that my childhood trauma was my "perception." I shared that my mom would wake me up in the middle of the night to console her through panic attacks. I then asked him if a child being molested by a parent would also be "perception," and he said yes. He later clarified that perception doesn't mean it didn't happen--but using that word felt extremely invalidating. When I expressed that, he dismissively responded, "Okay, I just won't use that word if you don't like it." Throughout our sessions, he emphasized "self-control." When I shared that I believe control and self-control are often used to push away feelings, he immediately told me we could not work together. When I tried to explain my perspective, he shut down and refused to share his own thoughts. During that same session, he disengaged almost completely--remaining silent and appearing to stare me down. He said he didn't want to "argue," but I was simply expressing how I felt. Therapy should be a safe space to communicate openly, not one where a therapist withdraws when challenged. There was also a situation where my wife stormed out of last session because I didn't want to spend our 45 minute session going through a 50-page workbook. I preferred to do that outside of session time. Despite this, Dr. Robbins placed the blame entirely on me. And because I kept urging Dr. Robbins to look at the underlying root issues in our relationship, he acted very childishly by using that same approach in a crude way on me. My wife lost our family 500k by gambling it away in stocks and crypto. He asked how it made me feel and what trauma that was coming from. Obviously, it makes me feel like I don't matter, but I want to break the cycle of my childhood trauma where boundaries were not allowed, and I want to set boundaries with my wife. When Dr. Robbins heard that, he didn't care to respond, because his main goal was to one up me by using the root cause methods I was urging him to use. At another point, he asked, "Where do feelings come from?" I said the inner child, and he responded, "No, it comes from behavior." I am always talking to my son about feelings and emotions, and after the session I told him what Dr. Robbins said about feelings not coming from the inner child. My six-year-old son's immediate response was, "what the h*ll." Even my six-year old son is emotionally smarter than Dr. Robbins. I would not recommend working with Dr. Robbins because he uses his pain and his coping mechanisms to dictate the session. After ten sessions, we had no real improvement in our relationship.

She took the time to do some extensive research prior to the appointment. She was very timely and followed up with us, as she promised she would. So, even before actually meeting her, we were very impressed with her professionalism. Upon arrival at her office in Anaheim, the building and her office were very nice. It is a very beautiful and comfortable space. Dr. Ferencz is a very warm and caring person. She immediately established a rapport and made it very comfortable for us. She was so great during the interview and testing process. She is incredibly professional, but also very caring person, which puts her patients at ease. We were also very happy with her fee structure. Dr. Ferencz gets our highest possible recommendation!

She was able to see him relatively quickly which I appreciated. When I took him for the testing, he was immediately comfortable with her and asked me to sit in the lobby and wait while the testing was performed. I felt very conflicted about having the testing done because seeing your child evaluated in this way is not easy but I had no choice or he would not receive services. She made it all as painless as it could be and was very generous with her time and sharing her experience and knowledge. This helped me to think about more rationally about what my son might need in the future. Her report was clear and well-written and she was just a lovely person in dealing with myself and my son.
