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.

Her insight and wisdom allow her to cut through all the junk and get to the heart of the matter. (I'm especially good at squirling around and not really getting to the point) She is compassionate and a great listener.

I also appreciate that her office is clean, professional, welcoming, and safe. I would highly recommend Arolyn! If you work with her and do what she recommends you'll see awesome, positive, strong results.

She helped me navigate and understand my wants and needs. She's very relatable and to the point. I've been to other Psychologists and most of the time they're just a feelings sharing session. Not with Dr. Hensling. She allows you to share your feelings and thoughts and makes sense of them. She is very honest and upfront, and doesn't sugarcoat which is exactly what people need when they're feeling lost or unsure. I always look forward to seeing her! Thank you for all the help and clarity you've provided me. I'm so grateful to have found her!!

Finding a rational, empathetic, yet positive & intelligent therapist like Julie was an enormous…read morestroke of luck! She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!

My confidence has also improved. Overall my life has seen an immense benefit with her in it.

Her office is also just a few miles from the beach after therapy I usually just drive to the beach and watch the waves crash.

I caution anyone who is considering hiring Christine Golden at OC Psychology Center. Ms Golden…read moreexacerbated my children's anxiety they were experiencing as a result of a divorce and teamed up with my ex-wife to advocate on her behalf throughout the case. By the time I figured out that she was contributing to my family's destruction it was too late. She and the children and my ex had become emotionally attached and the court viewed that as a positive thing. She regularly reported me to CPS for emotional and physical abuse and each investigation concluded that there was no evidence to substantiate the report and that the Ms Golden was mis-informed. My ex then used Ms. Golden's unsubstantiated reports in family court to restrict my custody time. Yes, you are guilty until proven innocent in family court, something my ex's attorney (also female) knew quite well. It was a well orchestrated attack on an unsuspecting father, using and manipulating my children for their own emotional and financial gain. I never knew humanity to stoop so low, all under the guise of 'the best interest of the child' as advocated by family court. When discussing one particular report of abuse, Ms Golden told me "the truth of [my son's] allegation doesn't matter. What matters is what [my son] FEELS the truth is." This confirmed my suspicions developed over the preceding 6 months. The actual truth is that Ms. Golden had no experience working with children in a high conflict divorce, she had no parenting experience of her own, and she was unlicensed at the time she recommended weekly therapy. Her therapeutic experience is with young adults suffering from trauma. She applied this experience to my children (8 and 9) and offered separate 'parenting sessions' to me and my ex, totaling 4 sessions a week. I quickly opted out recognizing her 'therapy' only as a scam and a way to further separate me from my children. My ex on the other hand used Ms Golden masterfully to obtain the 'expert' testimony she needed to obtain full custody. I find it horrifically ironic that in my case the people making accusations of abuse (Ms. Golden and my ex) were same people stoking chaos and subjecting my children to the chaos that created their anxiety to begin with. And rather than help my children understand that they have a loving father and their relationship with him is important, Ms Golden did the exact opposite. Ms Golden obviously lacks the therapeutic, ethical, and parental foundation that any well meaning parent would seek for their child's psychologist. Your child's mind is sacred ground that should be protected against therapists like Ms. Golden.

I reached out to Dr Montgomery regarding my son who is suffering from anxiety. We live out of town…read morebut was willing to drive to find a good doctor. Dr Montgomery called me the same day and spent 20-30 mins discussing my son and learning about our situation. After spending that time with me he explained that it made sense for us to see someone closer to us given it would be ongoing care. Despite that, he sat on the phone with me and helped research doctors in my area. After we hung up he sent a follow up email with resources (doctors, books, etc). I can tell he is a dedicated and caring doctor and if we lived closer I would definitely come see him!

I highly recommend Samira as a therapist. I have had personal experience as an adult with Samira. I…read morealso know of several children (elementary and middle school aged) who have seen Samira for therapy. Speaking from my own experience, Samira is so friendly. Her kindness is matched with her compassion. I know this because I felt instantly connected when I first met Samira. I'm not someone who opens up easily, and I am especially guarded when it comes to personal things and trauma. I used to believe that therapy won't work for me. I think how therapists are often portrayed on television made me think negatively about the way therapy works. I really think it depends on the therapist. Samira really listens without judgment. She is not pushy with any sort of agenda. It feels effortless to talk to her. I honestly feel that she is with me and she has my back. I'm telling you, she truly is amazing, and I am so thankful to have met her. Samira is also great with kids! I can not believe how she is also skilled in working with children as well as working with adults! She uses a variety of tools when working with children. I do not know the names or methods because I'm not a therapist myself, but one of the ways is play therapy! I know this because one of my friend's children sees Samira as well, and her daughter adores her! She claims that seeing Samira is something she looks forward to every week! If you're looking for a therapist who is caring, intuitive, easy to talk to, and genuine, look no further! Samira is your girl!
