I was at a point in my life 8 months ago that I needed professional help. I prayed for a therapist that would connect with me on all levels. Being it was my first time I was very skeptical because of how I was raised in a Latino family. I did allot of research and came across My Serenity. I'm so thankful spirit brought Karla into my life!!! I whole heartedly recommend My Serenity to anyone that is seeking mental help. I know it's a difficult thing to do, TRUST I completely understand!!! Just know their professional staff will match you with one of their amazing therapists. It's a very safe comfortable environment. Very thankful I made the choice to Love Myself and put me First so I could be the best version of me.

I met with Alicia T. for an online session via Zoom. She had recommended Brainspotting to me as a…read moreway to work with my own struggles with defensiveness in my relationship. Brainspotting is a kind of therapy that uses eye positioning to process difficult emotions and unresolved traumatic experiences. Alicia was AMAZING. It was my 1st time doing Brainspotting and it felt very vulnerable, even though we were on Zoom. I cried quite a bit as it brought up complicated emotions. Alicia was so warm and patient with me as I got comfortable with this new way of doing therapy. You can tell she really loves her work and helping people. The next thing I really want to try is Ketamine assisted therapy with Alicia. That is a type of therapy you would want to do with someone completely trustworthy- and Alicia would definitely be that person for me. It is very cool that she is trained in so many different kinds of therapy and has KAP on offer. She might have a waitlist- but do yourself a favor and get on it! I highly recommend Alicia Taverner at Rancho Counseling if you are seeking any type of therapy or self healing.

My wife and I went to Rancho Counseling. We met with Alicia Taverner. The experience was…read morehorrible, beyond belief. She was definitely not the right person for us. As can happen, couples can go on about the other person with the issues they may have with that person. We did engage in that manner without even one word of input from her. As it was just after lunch, she may have been sleepy because she seemed to be struggling to keep her eyes open. The situation digressed until a particular issue was surfaced by my wife. When hearing that, Alicia hung on to that like it struck a personal nerve and would not relent. She could have said, "you do understand that is a serious issue. Let's circle back to that later maybe in an individual session". She proceeded to belabor that issue until I got up to leave because I could not take the incessant shaming anymore. As I left, of course I made a comment about how much we were paying for "this". She yelled at me to get out or she would call the police. And again, of course, I told her to go ahead. She picked up her phone and proceeded to dial it. I left. My wife stayed long enough to have Alicia tell her I am a narcissist. The definition of a narcissist (as I learned later by watching Dr. Tracey Marks; what a great counselor. I would recommend her YouTube videos) is not that simple. There is also a healthy narcissism. Anyway, in that short session with Alicia Taverner, she somehow was able to diagnose me and impart that to my wife. If you are considering going to see her, I would recommend watching her on YouTube. She has made a number of videos (she appears to be quite the glamour hound. Oh wait, isn't that part of being a narcissist?). She also seems to "specialize" in women's issues based on her LinkedIn "about" statement which reads, "In my practice I help women find the calm within the storm of divorce and infidelity. I help reconnect them with their strengths and find the confidence they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their families". I see now why she incessantly shamed me, being a man. Do your homework. Do a search on her and hear her interview on "Women in Depth" website from July 6, 2016. And of course watch her YouTube videos. You will get a lot of understanding of who she is on these videos. Then make your decision. Finally, she may be too young to consider herself all that she claims to be. My belief is she has a bias towards men and you will get a worldly, human secularism counseling experience. She seems to refer to a Dr. John Gottman and sees him as a mentor.

Today I decided to to move forward with the decision to find my daughter therapy to deal with her anxieties. I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Starr.

She was thoughtful and caring explaining how EMDR could help me handle issues more effectively. The process really works and she is encouraging throughout. She helped me see what my reactions had meant before and how I'd progressed after the treatments. It's remarkable how effective EMDR is and I now see why she is such an advocate for the technique. Since the sessions I have felt so calm and in control and haven't lost my temper that way I used to do. Jessica was so professional, kind and genuinely excited to help me.

At first, I had a positive impression of Advanced Psychological Associates & Wellness Center. The…read moreproviders seemed attentive and personable. Unfortunately, the quality of care and professionalism significantly declined over time. The front office experience has been consistently poor. The receptionist often responds with an unprofessional tone. On multiple occasions, I was given excuses rather than assistance. All appointments are conducted via telehealth. At no point was I seen in person. Therapy sessions lacked structure and depth, talk therapy sessions often felt unproductive, with minimal guidance, feedback, or meaningful therapeutic engagement. Psychiatric follow-ups were frequently conducted by student interns rather than the actual psychiatrist. Direct interaction with the supervising provider was limited and had to be requested if you wanted to speak to your actual doctor. The most concerning issue has been their failure to communicate and comply with formal requests. I sent written notice on February 19 requesting cancellation of all future appointments and a complete copy of my medical records. After receiving no response, I followed up again on March 3. I have sent numerous emails and received no written confirmation, no records, and no clear communication. Under California law, patients are entitled to receive copies of their medical records within 15 calendar days of a written request. Despite this, my requests were ignored. Due to the lack of response and failure to comply, I was forced to file a formal complaint with the appropriate California licensing board. Based on my experience with their communication practices, administrative handling, and quality of care, I cannot recommend this practice.
