Incredible how…read moremuch of a difference it makes, speaking out loud openly and honestly to a knowledgeable, compassionate, down-to-earth professional psychologist. After so many years without counseling, I found myself on auto-pilot making routine apathy-driven mistakes. After just one month seeing Patricia, really quickly I began to feel my brain treating itself differently, almost like my conscience started taking itself seriously. Weird, never thought to phrase it like that before :o Interesting that most psychologist/psychiatrist offices tend to feel like offices and not like a therapy room, Patricia manages to pull this off at Ocean View. During our sessions I feel like I'm floating on a cloud, maybe because of the couch, but also there's an energy in the room that feels like a brief escape from the weight of the world. That's my long-winded way of saying that Patricia provides a comfortable environment for her sessions :) Also it's very clear that Patricia is passionate about her work and takes it very seriously, it became apparent to me after realizing just how busy of a schedule she has and yet still manages to make time for me in odd spots. Patricia is truly someone you can count on. You won't regret it!

She's knowledgeable about and takes into consideration worldwide cultures and religions, fun new agey stuff (if you're down with it), stays on top of latest psychology developments, and has a trove of behavioral therapy tools and actions to heal and empower her patients.

Andra is the best, we worked together weekly for about 6 months. In that time I was able to gain a…read morelot of clarity which has ultimately led me to making some huge life changes. Her ability to keep me engaged with different assignments and big questions has helped me to maintain my autonomy and my motivation to become a more grounded and decisive individual. I really appreciate her openness and ability to intertwine things like Tarot and Astrology into her practice. It has really helped me to lean towards my true callings & my intuition in a way I have doubted in the past. She has also helped me really let go of a lot of big emotions that were clouding my judgement after a couple traumatic instances in my life. With that reassurance and her stern yet warm approach, I have been able to hold myself more accountable and figure out what kind of life I want to lead. I would recommend Andra to anyone who is in need of a reset or just some really sound advice. I cannot thank her enough!

So I've tried quite a few therapists and interventions and it wasn't until working with the…read morewonderful people at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates that I really felt that emotional healing was possible and that I could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel following decades long depression. Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback?

But life circumstances eventually led me to Jacqui, and now I'm actually grateful for the hardships that brought me to her. She's different from any therapist I've ever worked with. Jacqui really helps you dig deeper and look at things in a more honest, meaningful way. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear or coddle you, because that wouldn't actually help you grow. Instead, she challenges you in a supportive and thoughtful way that pushes you to understand yourself better. I had never heard of ART before and was honestly skeptical, but I was desperate and willing to try anything. Hands down, it's one of the most valuable techniques she has in her vast arsenal of tools to help her patients. Her guidance on how to manage my anxiety in between sessions is something I will carry with me for life. Working with her has been a truly valuable experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found her.If you're struggling with something, I really encourage you to reach out and see her. It will change your life. It certainly changed mine.

I came to Jacqui to heal my trauma, and I'm now more traumatized when leaving at the 2nd ART…read moresession due to a racist comment by Jacqui. The first ART session with Jacqui was about 2 hours, and no specific issues occurred. The 2nd session was a week later. About 30 minutes in, she noticed the ART didn't work as she expected, and her comment about the failure was due to my "language barrier," which I strongly disagree with. Even English is not my first language, I passed 2 most difficult bar exams in the States, and I've been practicing law for the past 12 years in California. Jacqui's instructions are nothing compared to the judges' instructions I have to follow for my work. Jacqui's instruction was basically "imagine your emotions being washed away by a waterfall," something simple and similar to this. However, she told me not only once during this session that the failure is because of the language barrier. She made me feel absolutely terrible, and I had to cut short the session. Eventually, Jacqui admitted that ART doesn't work for everyone but emphasized again my language barrier. We are all vulnerable already when seeking help from a therapist. Now Jacqui makes me feel even worse as this ART doesn't work mainly because of my "language barrier." If Jacqui evaluated that my language barrier is a concern or issue for this ART, she should've noticed it at the first consultation and stopped it, rather than continuing scheduling and charging me $180 per hour for the following sessions.

It's funny, a lot of people hesitate to speak to a therapist because they feel "they are fine." Yes, you can be fine, but you still have the capability to learn, grow and broaden your ways of thinking. Little did I know... I'm all about insight and perspective - Jessica flows with that. I've told her certain things I'd like to work on, my hardships, my good times, and moments that were challenging for me. I'm not going to lie, these conversations were foreign to me because I've always been the type to talk to others about how they feel, not really ever about how I feel. She genuinely cares about the shifts I want to make in life and guides me through it - it changes the game! Jessica has a powerful energy that really makes you want to conquer goals that you're working towards. She is a wonderful listener and gives the right amount of challenge to better my ways of thinking, being, and reacting. She is there any time I need her, judgement free, ready to deliver. I learn more about myself after every session with her, and am grateful to have found her especially during this crazy time!
