This review is specifically for Jeanette Shepherd of Good Therapy. We see Jeanette at the Sorrento…read moreValley location. She has been providing therapy for a family member for over a year. She primarily does individual sessions, but we sometimes we have family sessions when there is an issue that needs family communication and support. Jeanette is warm, kind and comforting and creates a safe and welcoming environment. She has helpful insights and (actionable) suggestions. It is hard finding a good therapist and it took us several before finding one that was both a good match/fit and helpful. My only dream wish is that Good Therapy accepted insurance.

I have always wanted to improve who I want to be, and to envision life and the world around me in a more positive way. After striking out with the first three others I found Alisha. She has given the tools each week to face life and its challenges with fresh hope. To say it has been life changing is an understatement. She always starts our session with a huge warm smile that immediately sets the mood for an epic hour. I would highly recommend Alisha to literally everyone. I cannot say enough great things about her. She has helped me to be a more optimistic, positive person that I always wanted to be. Soon I will be "Fiercely Optimistic" and am enjoying my journey to get there.

Alisha is a true Gem! She understands people like nobody else. What a great practitioner.read more

Crystal Stone is just such a beautiful Soul. I started coming to her back in August (it's November…read morenow) when I was looking for some guidance in my life. You know those points in life where you just feel like you need some help?? I had a phone consultation with her and just everything that I was wanting to improve for myself she was knowledgeable about. I was looking to cultivate self love, self care, confidence, boundaries, reassurance in myself and in my work, etc and after talking with her I set up my first appt. When we first met, she did an assessment of all parts of myself and my life which I love because it showed me that she was going to show up for every part of me and help me show up for every part of me too. Every appointment I've been gifted with so much knowledge on how to have better boundaries, self forgiveness (this was an eye opener) how to have better relationship with myself and others, self care, self love, confidence, letting go, healing, emotional detoxing, and even info on my body (my cycle)! And There's still more learn! Every appointment with her never seems like long enough. I wish I could sit with her for hours. She has so much knowledge to share! She is so kind and gentle and just helps you feel so balanced. If you are seeking a better you, Crystal can most definitely help you achieve it! Thank you Crystal! XO

Crystal saved me! She helped me find my JOY!…read more When I first started seeing Crystal, I was broken, stressed and depressed with tears falling down my face. The first thing that really struck me about Crystal is that I instantly felt comfortable around her. She listened to me and helped me get my life back. She encouraged me to love myself and through several exercises, she helped me to develop a plan for self-care, setting boundaries and for turning dreams into a reality. Crystal is compassionate, wise, professional, caring, helpful and vulnerable. She is very well-read and she loves what she does. Because of these reasons she is dedicated to helping people turn their lives around. She is helped me get back on track personally and professionally. I am waking up early, going to the gym, cooking, traveling and enjoying all of the wonderful joys in my life with my lovely family. Thank you, Crystal! I am forever grateful for you!

Not sure what has changed the last few years - her service is nothing like what the reviews saw…read moreshe used to be years ago . I have seen Karina a 2 times in the past , and followed her on instagram after the fact . For a "healer"- I'd expect somebody who doesn't put down other women . This woman has consistently put down other women and myself included through passive aggressive comments (She mentioned several times getting cosmetic procedures done to my face and body ) & how she treats other women & how other women I personally know have gone to her and felt the same . That time was my last time seeing her , but I didn't unfollow her . Not only is she a misogynistic bully , she has said consistently to kill every Palestinian. This is not a healer - this is a narcissistic person using the cloak of "spirituality" to disguise her inner evil. Spare yourself and your soul- go to somebody who is truly healed inside, one who doesn't judge . If you are looking for a safe space , she is not the one . She will not heal you, and she supports Donald J trump . Anybody who supports trump is not a spiritually aligned person , as I said, just a narcissistic person under a cloak. Islamophobic, racist , misogynistic... yeah sure ... "healer "...

I would NOT recommend this treatment center to anyone who is going through a serious drug…read moretreatmentl process. I found the physician to be extremely egotistic, controlling and condescending, especially at critical points in therapy. I was actually told "do you really think you are OK? by Dr. Roybal whose job in my opinion was to say "you are going to be OK I am here to ensure that." Then to charge a fortune for this type of treatment is just far beyond acceptable. I will also agree with other reviewers that the costs of the clinic are extremely expensive for the potential of treatment that may be required. 18K per month was required during my time there. The insurance billing process is a nightmare as others have stated. One definitely feels a few weeks into your treatment as if this clinic really is all about putting money in Dr. Roybal's pocket. A strange feeling of preying on the weak. Very sad. Also this is an outpatient facility. As a clinician myself, I would highly suggest that anyone going through a drug healing process would be better off finding a good therapist, following an appropriate slow taper schedule with supervision, a good massage therapist, chiropractic neurologist, acupuncturist, and seek out solid nutrition protocols with meditative exercises like yoga, tai chi, qi gong and meditation. WAY more cost effective and likely, far superior results.

After being there 6 days I was told I have to do 30 in detox then I move to mental health house and do 30 there. He knew very well I had only 30 days. The house on their website that's all beautiful on the beach, only holds 6 clients. And the detox house is nasty old rundown apartments with old couches, no table to eat at, nothing on the walls. Just like a frat house. Everyone just sits in their rooms watches tv and eats junk food. Brian from admissions showed up when I became angry that he lied to me about my time there, and he started trying to convince me that doing the program their way was what was right for me. I left and it really screwed me up to have been lied to and shoved into the wrong program just so they could make money They are taking advantage of people with mental illness and people with substance abuse issues by signing them up for programs that do not meet their needs.
