I picked up a certificate from Mind Body Partnerships which gave me a massage, hair cut, yoga, and…read morethen I picked Dr Barbara Cox for her Emotional Acupressure Session. It sounded intriguing. So I went. Why not? So, you know those nagging thoughts of self-doubt, fear, self-deprecation? Well, I wanted to get rid of some of them and see if Dr. Cox's methods worked for me. On her website she touts...Mind Body Tools for a Successful and Happy Life. In our session, we spent an hour talking about what I call past programming. Incidents in childhood that have an impact on how we approach life. In that hour the visceral, anxiety ridden feelings I had around fear of failure went from a 9 down to a 3 and then eventually complete calm. I'll definitely being going back to see Dr. Cox. Those nagging thoughts you know...they never quite all go away. But these sessions are surely going to keep them quiet for a while.

I've gone to Dr. Cox about 5 times now. She's helped me re-formulate and supersize my goals. We…read morealso work on getting rid of my old patterns/beliefs that have blocked me in the past and "install" new, more effective beliefs... Her consistent support has really helped me get traction and start in on my long-term biz and professional goals (mainly what I'm working on), and also helped me shift my dating habits, which has been fun! She uses a lot of different tools in our sessions - hypnotherapy, guided imageray, energy adjusting techniques, coaching. She has an amazing ability to get right to the root of my issues. I like how she's grounded and very practical, matter-of-fact about things, but also really caring and reassuring. I always feel super relieved and lighter/clearer after our sessions, like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders and replaced with confidence and clarity of purpose/action - so, I obviously recommend her! :)

I would recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their lifestyle.

This review is for anyone who is considering having ECT…read more Dr. Schwartz saved my life in 1997. His research-based level of ECT treatments kickstarted my brain into finally starting to respond to medication. I thank Dr. Schwartz for that, and I also thank God, because Dr. Schwartz had given it to me straight: not everyone responds positively to ECT, and the research-based treatment plan that he had formulated for me (a lot more than what patients usually receive) was likely to induce memory loss. He told me what it would be like for me if that were to happen, and he told me that research had not yet shown if the memories would be erased or only blocked. With his straight, objective information, not trying to sugar-coat the prognosis or railroad me, he put the informed decision into my hands. I considered it very carefully. I finally decided that it was incrementally better to jump off the ECT cliff than it was to let the depression swamp suck me ever-downward and kill me, as it had almost done in 1996. I thank God that He chose that I was in the population of people whom ECT would help. A doctor may tell you statistics of risk and benefit, but neither you nor the doctor knows on which side of the statistics you fall, as an individual. Dr. Schwartz had told me that. He had empowered me to make my own decision. And I thank God that my body was one of those that responded. I actually was able to rebuild my memories over the next few years, slowly. I was able to go back to school, even when I still couldn't remember very much from before 1997. I made it through. The process was slow and hard, but it was very much better than the swamp. People who are not depressed have an unconscious assumption that they take for granted. It's a basic, vague belief that they are not presently undergoing trauma. They don't fathom what it's like to not have that background assumption, to be seriously depressed and to experience every waking moment as trauma. It is ironic to me that there is stigma regarding a person with serious depression, as though they were weak in their character, as though they were choosing to not function. I would honestly like to see how someone self-righteous, passing judgement on people with depression, would survive just one week of serious depression, with different brain chemicals from those they already had--with the trap-door suddenly opened underneath them. I wonder if they would survive even one day. We are stronger than the judges of the world, my friend. We are stronger than them. I wish I could make an "It gets better" video. People had been amazed in 1996 that I had survived. They told me, "God wanted you to survive. You're going to help people and make a difference in their lives." 20 years later, I finally know why I survived. It wasn't for other people; it was for me, so that I could learn how to enjoy something, anything. So that I could learn how to thrive. I function as a manager now, at an aerospace company. I know how to make friends and keep them. I know how to value the things in my family that are precious, even if other things hurt. I have my intelligence back. It really is possible for it to get better, my friend who is considering ECT. Learn all you can. Make your own decision. Keep pushing for your own right to heal, thrive, and function. And please accept a big hug and respect from me for your strength and resilience.

Just started to run and was worried due to a lot of pain in my heals. The appointment was scheduled…read morequickly and at a time I could make it. The scheduler told me it would be a private appointment that was set aside just for me and it was. The physical therapist was ready for me and our appointment started right when I arrived.

I now have something to work on and can run more confidently knowing why I am having pain and that with work I can get better. Definitely recommend.

After decades of martial arts practice, including 8 years of hard core Brazilian Ju Jitsu, my 70 year old body has needed lots of physical therapy for many hurting joints and strains. Recently plagued with a very tight right side QL muscle in my back, I went to several therapists who tried various leg exercises and spinal manipulations which only worsened the condition. During the first two minutes with Dr. Mullin she got to the source of the issue, with my hip alignment being 1 inch out. Neither of the previous DPT's had even checked this. Her recommendations were spot on and helped me get back onto the water, sculling again. Thank you Dr. Mullin.

Our fifteen-year-old daughter has been…read morestruggling most of her life -- scholastically, socially, intellectually -- and we had taken her to almost every diagnostic specialist in SLO County. Every specialist had a different theory, and none of them rang true to us. None of them helped our child. I was so thankful when I found PEAKS Clinic online (and in our area!). Dr. K spent a couple of full days testing our daughter and talking with us. Two weeks later we had a diagnosis (or two) that finally resonated with us and helped elucidate our child! Not only that, we had advice and guidance! Dr. K recommended a psychologist and other services, and almost a year later, our daughter is absolutely glowing. She understands herself and has made tremendous strides socially and personally. She is a new person, and I can't thank Dr. K enough for how she has helped our family. If your child is having challenges, please go to PEAKS Clinic. We are so lucky to have this wonderful resource in our area.
