Completely unprofessional. They also have no diversity, and they don't respect or support their own therapists. Most leave after their trial period, which leaves clients abandoned with no transition plan. My therapist told me in one session that she was leaving, and that was it no backup, no plan, nothing. I had to start all over again with a new person from scratch. This office is careless and unreliable. If you're looking for stability and consistent care, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else. -5

As a licensed mental health provider, this organization holds a clear professional and ethical duty…read moreof care to all clients, particularly those who are minors or in vulnerable stages of treatment. The decision to end Emily V. services without prior notice or a structured transition plan represents a serious breach of that duty. My 11-year-old daughter had only recently developed a trusting and productive relationship after a long and difficult search for appropriate support. Disrupting that relationship without opportunity for preparation or closure has placed her emotional well-being at significant risk. My 20-year-old had also just transitioned to your care following the termination of services with a prior therapist. This abrupt loss of continuity has now impacted both of my daughters, undermining the stability and trust that are essential to effective therapeutic work. Mental health care, especially with children and young adults, requires careful planning when changes in provider occur. Professional standards dictate that clients must be given adequate notice, a clear explanation of the change, and a coordinated transition plan to protect their mental health and prevent harm. The absence of these measures in this case is unacceptable and falls short of your obligations as a care provider. Very disappointed with this practice and how they run their business.

I was admitted to their behavioral health unit. It sucks a lot. I had a panic attack when I first…read moregot there, and instead of giving me a medication or just being nice in general, they told me to "calm down" and tried to poke me into my room. In addiction to that, I had someone creeping on me 24 hours for three days! No one ever told me why, but after the third day, I found out it was just because I had an ace bandage on my leg. Having someone follow me was unnecessary and made me so uncomfortable that I needed high doses of sleep medication just to get through the night. I would call my experience here near-traumatic. Don't go!!

At one point I was feeling pretty badly for a while and she checked in with me often to make sure I was doing right things to feel better. She has seen me grow these past few years.

Its been a little over nine months now and I can still feel the benefits.

This business is one of the BEST investments I have ever made in my entire life. I have spent…read morethousands of dollars on coaching and mind products and most of the had marginal results. Making an educated guess, I would say that it is because everyone was always using conscious level approaches to attempt to fix subconscious problems in which is highly ineffective. I am a mind practioner myself and so I can unlimited access to my own tools however, I also enjoy expereincing other modalities (tired of hearing my own voice.... I guess) and I was referred by a client who was cured of Sleep Apnea. This is a notoriously difficult area to treat and I have moderatley successful results in this area myself, but I recognize that any modality that can treat this is definitely worth checking out. So after filling out a questionnaire, I showed up and l learned about the process. In Ann Vogel's practice she uses sound technology and I got to read, rest, and sometimes conversate while my mind was being painlessly mapped and sounds and waves were transmitted through headphones. Here are the results: Day 1: I discovered I procrastinate and I was conscious of the process and I essentially was able to be 70% more efficient from a lack of this procrastination. My drive increased and I was able to stick to my tasks at hand. Day 2: I was less bothered by stupid situations and annoying people, and for some reason my hearing increased and I was able to hear audible sounds that I normally would have ignored. I was also slightly more motivated than usual and was more optomistic. Day 3: I was more focused and had more drive to accomlish more in the day and I was procrastinating even less! My distracting thoughts began to subside by 1/3 and I was worried before about money....same problems with an emotional disattachment. Your thoughts are so much clearer!! Day 4: More drive, and focus, and my creativity seemed to increase significantly. My worries about money and women seemed to decrease a bit more than the day before. Day 5: My multitasking efficiency skills have increased significantly and I was able to accomplish about 5 more tasks than I had before. I also have been able to meditate for 10 minutes in which before it was hard to meditate for 2 minutes. My consistency is increasing. Day 6: I became less shy and more open minded. I purchased 2 tickets for an event in which I don't think I would have been brave enough to go to. Let's just say the event is local to the Bay Area and its like a masquarade event with an adult twist. Still working hard, progressing and becoming more organized, and determined to finish my tasks while planning other tasks to accomplish. Day 7: Very unique day. I was unusually more compassionate than I usually am. I spoke with a homeless male and even bought him a coffee and bagel. He lost everything from alcoholism and was even in an AA program. I was able to give him advice. Normally I would have gave him $5 and moved to another table. I was able to give him advice, be calm, and still work on my graduate school homework and emails. This techonolgy apparently is also an assist to being well rounded. Day 8: More patient. I am NOT a patient person and the idea of patience makes me impatient. Still driven, organized, good at multitasking...just enjoying the perks. Day 9: Bad day because my phone went out and lost all my pictures and contacts. However, I was not bothered so much and my persistence increased significantly. I was focused and calm about what I needed to do although I was a slight bit annoyed about the phone thing- who wouldn't be? Day 10: Got a new phone. Happier, blessed, focused, determined, feeling like I have a secret weapon in which gives me the unfair advantage and about to mix this with the benefits of Hypnotherapy. Worth the cost. Also as an fyi Ann is like a pocket genius and marketing guru. She gave me 3 ideas in which when I apply will probably make me $3,000.00. WOW! Okay so that's the experience. I sure wish I found this before the others. I hope one day they create something in their technology to enhance your natural skills and abilities. I doubt they are too far from that.

To me, she initially came across as a bit uninterested/judgmental/somewhat distant (as a couple other reviews mentioned) but I put that down to her personal style, i.e. she did not come across to me as some TV version of a warm, approachable, tell-me-anything therapist. But her expertise is evident over time.

I started seeing Rebecca when I was on Stanford Campus and she was working for the Counseling service there. I was having some personal issues which I won't detail here (nosy, aren't you?) and she helped me move forward with my life. I still check in with her when I'm having troubles and I've found her therapy very useful. Rebecca uses cognitive and behavioral therapy and really stresses mindfulness and awareness. I found this approach very useful. She's really good at arming you with tools that you can use going forward, rather than simple solutions to a current issue. As an added bonus she has later evening appointments which works great for folks with jobs and schedules that are hard to rearrange.
