Rude, unprofessional, ignorant doesn't even begin to describe the jokes sitting at the front desk. People eating, talking on the phone to friends and totally ignoring you when you walk in. Leaving me 4-6 messages within 2 minutes after hours telling you to call back immediately. Office closed. No voice mail. Unanswered portal messages. Worst experience ever. If you need mental help support DO NOT GO TO GEODE.

She was a great listener and made me feel comfortable enough to share my experiences, thoughts and feelings. She was very knowledgeable and offered easy to understand explanations for very complex situations. She was not judgemental or pushy, she let me process things at my own pace.

I was severely depressed. I dropped out of school. At the point when I first met Dr. Crane, I had…read morehonestly forgotten what I "used" to feel like. Dr. Crane never gave me instructions on what I needed to do. He never even had advice on what was the right way the think or the right way to act. He asked me questions about my life, and he questioned me about the way that I thought and processed those experiences. Through these conversations, we navigated the intricacies of my vulnerabilities, pain, and desires. I came in as a skeptic after a psychiatrist that offered ever increasing doses of medication and a psychologist that concluded that "eating too much candy" was the root cause of my depression. Dr. Crane completely changed my perspective on what a psychologist can do. I left school 4 years ago, part of it that I wasn't willing to admit, was that I no longer loved what I wanted to do (biology research). I haven't spoken with Dr. Crane in over 3 years since I moved to San Diego. However, I can say that he played a pivotal role to finding myself. I can say with conviction that he is the best there is. PS. I just got employed as an elementary school teacher in San Diego!

My experience having been treated here was relieving at first as I really needed serious attention…read moreand help, but slowly became unprofessional. This is not the location to choose if you are looking for long-term healing. The advice and insight I've been given felt like a bandaid compared to a lot of the complex and deeper issues I was struggling with. I didn't feel care or empathy at all from Katarina. The office started ghosting me, and have not gotten any response from her. Coming out of my sessions I felt unimportant, I felt like my issues and struggles didn't matter. This place didn't feel like a lighthouse. Matters got worse when I was asking for a note, or signing papers for work. The attitude towards me became cold. If it was out of their capabilities, I wish they tried referring me to a different location, helping me reach out to the actual help I needed. I felt so lost and stressed especially in the state I was in already. I felt threatened to have a session or not. Please, take the time to listen, be patient, understanding, responsive, and act with care as all these patients are going through tough times. Edit* After writing this review, I experienced an unsavory set of actions in order for me to take down this review, thus slowing my healing process. I have no doubt they have helped individuals before, but the unsavory actions indicate large red flags for this business. I advise caution. After every session, Katarina would just walk away like time was up that's it. I just felt like a stranger that she had to talk to for one hour and then that's it. Being a social worker, I felt it lacked the empathy and warmth. I've never felt as if she tried to understand me. I switched to my old psychologist and after just one session with him I felt hopeful. I expressed my concerns and he showed me empathy and a willingness to work things through.

You can get better information, advice and direction from YouTube or podcasts. There are several highly trained and experienced therapists that you access for your specific concern. Unless you lack any self awareness, and even then, either these therapists are oblivious or simply don't have a level of skill or any follow through necessary. If you don't return, no one follows up. May as well just use a free, more highly specific resource. I was advised to take action that is opposite of that for dealing with someone with the issues presented and would've further antagonized an already dangerous situation. Presented with the caveat they really don't know. I am not paying to get advice from someone who doesn't know! I can get bad advice for free, on my own time and not have to drive! Maybe try online therapy that isn't as expensive and time consuming and offers more alternatives for your specific issue. Extremely disappointing. Do not recommend.
