I was a client of Elana's for 7 years. I found a lot of healing during my time working with her…read more Long standing trauma & childhood issues were cleared using EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices all which I found tremendously helpful. Elana holds a safe space for processing a myriad of issues and I'd recommend her to anyone I know! In fact, I have sent almost a dozen friends to see her and they all give her great reviews! If you have any questions feel free to send me a private message. To your health!

I've been seeing Elana for 5 years and working with her has absolutely changed my life. I've been…read morein therapy most of my life and have never been able to make progress like I have with her. Elana is the perfect balance of what anyone would seek in a therapist: boundaried, kind, compassionate, but not letting you off the hook, super knowledgeable with so many techniques for treatment (SE, EMDR for example). I've always felt struck with how much she cares. She doesn't take notes during the session and yet if I've mentioned someone once during the years (and I've mentioned a lot of people) she remembers them and the situation - better than I do sometimes! She has amazing insights. This is not just talk therapy. This is a conversation and Elana gives you concrete tools for life. I really can't credit Elana enough for the changes that have happened in my life and the infrastructure she has helped me build. I've been in both individual and groups she has facilitated and I recommend her to absolutely everyone - as I have to many friends who are lucky if they can get in with her :)

I am both a clinician in private practice and the parent of a client previously treated at Camden…read moreCenter. Camden Center is an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Center) and one of the few, in the Los Angeles area, that treats individuals living with mental illness. Dr. Jason Schiffman, the Chief Medical Officer and founder of the Camden Center is one of the best psychiatrists I know in the Los Angeles area. Dr. Schiffman is an excellent diagnostician. What stands out for me however, is his humanity towards my son who has suffered from mental illness for a decade. He treated my son with compassion; my son was never a label nor did his diagnosis define him. Camden Center has an integrative health approach to both mental illness and addiction. The clinicians have a broad range of experience from psychodynamic psychotherapy to CBT and DBT. The practitioners at the Camden Center reflect Dr. Schiffman's integrity and commitment to treatment. Living with mental illness and/or addiction is challenging for both the individual and the family. Finding a treatment facility is often a difficult and emotional decision. I encourage families who are looking for treatment for a loved one and support for themselves to contact the Camden Center.

HORRIBLE ALL AROUND…read more I don't even know where to start. To put it in simple terms, the people at this place worked directly with Lauren Brock of the advocacy group to violate my client rights and engage in many ethical code violations. I am traumatized from my experience. All they did was cause immense distress by creating a toxic and unstable environment, tell me one thing and do the other, then gaslight me when i'd get frustrated. They held financials over my head constantly in order to comply with their orders, and often made me sign ROIs i was no comfortable signing. All my private therapy sessions were relayed back to Lauren Brock, someone i did NOT want to sign an ROI for. All they wanted was a paycheck from my wealthy father knowing he was willing to pay as much as it took to "cure" me. Horrible. Their "amazing" psychiatrist also put me on meds that made me gain 30-40 lbs, i was pushing 170 at one point, and all i was told by the team was that i am showing signs of an eating disorder for trying to restrict myself and lose weight. They then proceeded to put me on an SSRI to "manage the dysmorphia" despite me having a literal BIPOLAR 1 DIAGNOSIS. That's actually insanity to me. Anyway, they lied on my discharge forms, took months to correct it, and then didn't actually correct it. In fact Laura made it seem worse than it was before. They also were extremely difficult to communicate with when my corvette got stolen off their property. Accountability seems to be a difficult concept for them to grasp despite non stop preaching that to me for over a year. My car was a 55k corvette, it's nothing special. and it was stolen at the BW house... Now what if someone decides to bring their 200k luxury vehicle? If you're charging us so much money you'd think you'd keep the house secure. With all this being said, Jeff, Dr. Aye, and nurse Kay are the exceptions. They were the only genuine people who actually cared about helping me, but they had no power or room to do so because Lauren and Laura Berman were running the show. Stay away from these people if you want real help for mental health or substance abuse. If you're a parent looking to support your child, STAY FAR AWAY. they will manipulate you. they will cause such a huge rift in your family dynamic while placing the blame solely on your child. it creates resentment and a lack of trust. My family dynamic has healed tremendously since I was able to escape this place and show my father the true reality of this place. We haven't fought since. Yet under their "care" there was fights every week, we barely talked, he didn't trust me, i didn't trust him, and everything was purely transactional between us. Wonderful dynamic you created guys! Be proud of yourself! Please note this is all alleged until proven to be true in court.

Look no further. I have tried several different therapists…read moreover the course of my life - usually lasting 3-4 sessions each and have never felt like we were able to find anything tangible to move forward with. I like having goals - I want action items I can execute difficult moments... I am approaching my 8th session with Samantha and am incredibly grateful for all of the work we have done together. Grounded - Real - No Fluff - Together we organically find a device, whether a grounding exercise, a specific book or communicative approach having to do with the underlying cause of whatever the 'crisis of the week' might be. I very much value my time... I'm always busy... unable to shut my brain off... and deal w a lot of Anxiety -- I think I had negative experiences with therapy in the past because it always felt like a bit of a waste... somewhat pointless... I had better stuff to do!!!! MLT is anything but that.

Dr. Gorbis is a wonderful role model and incredible OCD Therapist…read more She and her Institute were a starting point for me on my miraculous road to a happy,PRODUCTIVE LIFE through OCD exposures and therapy. Through her program, I improved to the point where I was able to meet a wonderful man, and I am now happily married and very much in love with my husband. I learned so much from Dr. Gorbis, her philosophies on life, and her exposure/response prevention techniques. She is a living testament and inspiration for opening the door to Hope for a normal, happy existence. I always feel stronger and more confident in myself when I hear Dr. Gorbis speak in her lectures and presentations!! Her "joie de vivre", and dedication for her patients is truly inspiring and empowering towards the road to recovery. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you again, Dear Dr. Gorbis!!!! Sincerely, Rebecca Brand - Neuman

I have to be clear on this, NO place will treat your disorder better than here. The care and…read moreattention that Dr. Gorbis and her staff provided even surprised me.

Dr Mizani is a miracle. When my therapist insisted I change…read morepsychiatrists from my last one to Mizani, I was reluctant because I thought "all psychiatrists kinda suck, I might as well deal with the one I have because it doesn't get much better." I have dealt with quite a few psychiatrists in my time, including at treatment centers; and all but her have supported this idea I had that psychiatrists have no emotional intelligence, but just a purely clinical view of the human brain and don't view patients as people to listen to but subjects to examine and push drugs on, always thinking they know better and saying insensitive things to invalidate my real struggles. But not her. She LISTENS. God, I have never met a psychiatrist who listens and really LISTENS like her. She cares what you have to say and takes everything you say seriously and into account before all of her carefully thought out decisions. She makes me feel seen, respected, taken seriously, cared for, and listened to. That's a rare find. And she really knows what she's talking about; her knowledge of psych and medication is very impressive beyond expectations. As soon as I started seeing her, she was able to immediately help what was wrong with my meds and change things around to the right mix. She always lays out multiple options (some containing adding meds, but always presenting alternatives and respecting any apprehension to meds), and takes the time to listen and weigh things out to whatever you feel is best for yourself. She helped refer me to mental health treatment in August when my depression was at its worst, and though the treatment was incredible, the psychiatrist there just couldn't compare. It reminded me of how lucky I am to have Dr Mizani, the best of the best. I have depression, anxiety, and a past of an eating disorder and she has been nothing but helpful and wise. These problems are big in my life but she has kept them under control like no other, and when they get less manageable, she finds the right solutions (like when she strongly encouraged me to go to treatment and provided those resources). Finding mental health professionals who know how to handle eating disorders and don't say totally triggering and incorrect things about them is surprisingly difficult, but she is one of the few who knows what she's doing and doesn't say triggering things. If you're struggling with your mental health and like me have fear around psychiatrists and their lack of emotional intelligence, please give Dr Mizani a try. She's different. She's gold.

I was referred Dr. Mizani when I was pregnant, dealing with anxiety and let's face it, I exhausted…read moretalking to my girlfriends about my issues and marriage. I would say I am a type A personality and I like things under my control. Pregnancy, however, turned my emotions on its head. Thanks to a surge of hormones, everything made me highly irritable and aggravated. I knew, or hoped, that it was just the pregnancy. I decided to seek help because I wanted my pregnancy to go smoothly. Dr. Mizani was the perfect person to hear me out. She heard me out and used her expertise to see patterns in my actions and offered me ways to approach concerns I had differently. She got mad with me, when I was mad, and she validated me just enough that it opened the gates to tell her more of what I was dealing with. She was able to discuss sensitive issues about my marriage that didn't make me feel embarrassed. She is highly professional and very experienced with working with personal matters and intimate matters of the heart and soul. I am so glad I was able to have her be my doctor . She is so well read, researched and up to date in her therapeutic approach. I have since referred two other friends to her who are also equally satisfied and comfortable with Dr. Mizani.

I first learned about neurofeedback when my osteopathic doctor recommended Los Angeles…read moreNeurofeedback. At the time, I was dealing with chronic lower back pain, persistent inner tension, low energy, and anxiety. My osteopath believed that much of what I was experiencing was related to emotional stress and thought neurofeedback could help regulate my nervous system and expand my capacity to respond to whatever life brings. From my very first session, I noticed a shift. Instead of feeling tense and on edge, I felt calmer, more settled, and soothed. I continued going twice a week for about 16 sessions, and over time I kept noticing meaningful changes in both how I felt and how I responded to everyday life. One thing I really appreciate is that neurofeedback didn't make me feel like I was avoiding or suppressing my emotions. Life still brings stress, and I still experience triggers and the physical sensations that can come with them. The difference is that they no longer feel as intense (if they're intense at all), and they don't linger nearly as long. Situations that would have completely derailed me in the past simply don't carry the same charge anymore. I feel like I've made meaningful and lasting changes in how I respond to stress since adding neurofeedback to my care routine. That "boost" my osteopath talked about became very evident because it made all of the calming and self-regulation practices I'd been using for years feel much more effective. Meg and all of the facilitators at Los Angeles Neurofeedback are wonderful. They're knowledgeable, gentle, professional, and take the time to answer questions, so you always feel like you're in good hands. It's now been over a month since my last session, and I still feel more grounded, intentional, and able to take life's inevitable ups and downs in stride. If you're dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, inner tension, or feeling emotionally "stuck," I'd encourage you to look into neurofeedback and see whether it might be a good fit for you. My experience at Los Angeles Neurofeedback was excellent, and for me, it was time and money very well spent.
