I ended up here and I am glad I did! After a few short months of seeing Dr. Naim, I was fine. More…read morethan fine actually. And it's now been a year! I dealt with anxiety for years off and on. I went on and off medication. I spent years seeing therapists. So many ups and downs. One day the anxiety escalated tremendously to the point where I couldn't sleep. I was seriously spiraling out of control and couldn't even work. My usual psychiatrist couldn't see me for 3 months. I know had I gotten into see him, it would just be a 20 minute appointment and more medication. My primary care doctor put me on Xanax and Ambien as a temporary fix. It was like putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. A trusted friend recommended Hope Psychiatry and said there was no one better. When I called and explained my situation, I was seen within 24 hours. The intake paperwork is extremely thorough, more thorough than anything I've ever seen. They do not take insurance and I've come to discover that the people that are really good typically do not take insurance. At our first meeting, I started rambling and would have gone on for hours. Dr. Naim stopped me after 20 minutes and said he knew exactly what the issue was and how to resolve it. He said when he was done with me my issues would be gone. He slowly transitioned me off of the Xanax and Ambien. He is not anti-medication. I used an herbal tea to sleep and he prescribed something else that was non-habit forming for use as needed. He said the goal was for me not to need medication anymore but if I did need it, he would prescribe it. Fast forward a month, it was challenging to go through everything with him. At one point things were pretty bad and he said it was the last gasp of my issues getting out. Turned out, he was right. I started improving every week. About 3 months after first seeing him, I was done. It's now been one year. I've had no relapses. I have no anxiety. I'm having to deal with more challenging situations in life but it doesn't affect me anymore. I have a great perspective and I'm all better. I know I'm able to tackle just about anything. I've also been off the medication for a year now. So instead of just masking my problems, he actually addressed my issues. What a concept. Dr. Naim and his staff are incredibly kind. I just wish I hadn't spent years and years wasting my time trying to get help elsewhere. He was able to resolve my issues so quickly and completely. Highly recommended!

For someone with such experience and expertise, she's extremely down-to-earth and approachable. I came to Dr. Vause at a time of change in my life (at work, with family, and in my relationships), and my stress was surging. My depression and anxiety levels were becoming hard to manage, and I was turning to drugs and alcohol to cope. Dr. Vause helped me get through it. In addition to counseling, she guided me through some challenging but needed adjustments to my medication regimen. Every med suggestion was explained clearly, Dr. Vause answered all of my questions, and I knew what to expect in terms of effects and side-effects. I never felt as if pills were just being pushed my way; she really wanted me to participate in my own treatment and understand her reasoning. In addition to the excellent medication recommendations and adjustments, she is a wonderful therapist. Since seeing her, I have felt much better, and have experienced real improvements in my life. Her combination of innate sensitivity, compassion, and deep medical expertise is quite rare. I feel completely comfortable and secure in this relationship, and am fortunate to have found this exceptional doctor. I know I am cared for as a whole person, not just a bundle of problems, and there's nothing I hesitate to talk to Dr. Vause about. Having her in my life is itself therapeutic and a source of strength for me. Thank you Dr. Vause!

She seemed completely unapologetic and I felt like I was simply wasting her time and she just wanted me to hang up. Obviously since she has no openings for new clients there is no harm to her business by posting this...only saving others from wasting their time. I am suicidal and need a doctor asap. But I don't need a doctor that lacks compassion and has no interest to help unless you happen to be an existing patient.

Dr. Dadoyan was quite possibly the worst medical practitioner I've ever had to work with. When I…read moreinitially met with her, she was extremely cold, judgmental, and not at all trauma-informed. She made an already stressful time even worse with her abhorrent bedside manner. I was made to believe that I deserved to live a life inclusive of: weight gain, weight loss, hair loss, trouble falling asleep, trouble staying awake, a hand tremor, loss of appetite, and a literal allergic reaction because of my diagnosis. I was a patient of Dadoyan for nearly 3 years and came to dread my monthly appointment with her because of her cold demeanor, her lack of empathy, and the various inevitable changes she seemed frustrated to make when tweaking my regimen. I tried many different medications under her care and she totally lacked compassion when I discussed concerns about various side effects. She even accused me of lying and cherry picking symptoms from WebMD when in reality, she was just grossly incompetent. On the plus side, dealing with Dr. Dadoyan inspired my JD thesis on SB 43, California's newest mental health law legislation. I argued that instead of expanding the definition of "grave disability" to be overly broad, CA should put more funding into community mental health resources that don't re-traumatize patients. So thanks for that I guess. Also, front desk is a nightmare to work with. And the Dr is always running late. Would not recommend Dadoyan Behavioral Medical Group unless you want to be treated like trash.

had a very disappointing experience with this therapist and their office. I was originally told the…read moresession would cost $150, but I ended up being charged $350 because they claimed they would help me with EDD paperwork and the extension process. Unfortunately, they barely helped at all. Every time I asked for assistance, they told me there was "nothing they could do" and pushed everything back onto me -- including calling and dealing with EDD myself. I ended up spending almost 6 hours on hold under extreme stress, which was the exact reason I was seeking professional help in the first place. What also bothered me was how short and rushed the evaluation felt. The doctor called me at 5:13 PM and the call ended around 5:38 PM. Being charged such a large amount for such limited time and support felt unreasonable and unfair to me. What frustrated me most was the lack of consistency and professionalism. After I found another doctor who was actually willing to help me with the paperwork, I politely asked if they could refund part of the extra charges since they had not completed the service they charged me for. Suddenly, they changed their position and said they could help after all, even though I have screenshots of previous messages where they clearly said they could not do anything for me. On top of that, when I later spoke to the doctor about the pricing, she denied ever saying the session was $150 and instead claimed it was $275. The entire experience felt misleading, unprofessional, and financially driven rather than patient-centered. In my personal opinion, this office cares more about collecting money than genuinely helping patients. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this therapist ask for all pricing, services, and paperwork responsibilities clearly in writing before agreeing to anything.

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 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.
