I cannot say enough good things about Arolyn. I've known her for over a decade and have worked with her on and off during that time, and she is deeply trustworthy, grounded, and truly exceptional at what she does. She is easily one of the most skilled clinicians I've worked with, and arguably one of the best in the area. I drive nearly 3 hours to see her, and it is absolutely worth it. In just a few sessions, I've experienced more meaningful progress than years of traditional therapy combined. Her approach is precise, intuitive, and highly effective in a way that feels both clinical and deeply human. She also has techniques that have provided immediate relief for symptoms like tinnitus, which I had been struggling with for a long time. If you are considering working with her, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has genuinely been life-changing for me. read more

Ms. Burns is an amazing therapist. She doesn't just talk she has a system and plan to resolve the issue being treated. Her insight and wisdom allow her to cut through all the junk and get to the heart of the matter. (I'm especially good at squirling around and not really getting to the point) She is compassionate and a great listener. She is also incredibly knowledgeable, her information is profound and effective. I really appreciate all the growth I've made because of her. I also appreciate that her office is clean, professional, welcoming, and safe. I would highly recommend Arolyn! If you work with her and do what she recommends you'll see awesome, positive, strong results. read more

After researching several hypnotherapists I called Arolyn and set up an appointment. She had a clear treatment plan with some room for more treatments if needed. Arolyn is also an LMFT which really adds to her effectiveness in knowing how to use a tool like hypnotherapy alongside traditional therapy. I used her for therapy sessions in addition to hypno. Her hypnotherapy technique is unique but in order for it to be effective, it requires you to really do the work (as with any therapy). But it is worth the effort! I found Arolyn to be attentive, kind and generous. She helped me work through various blocks to get around negative thought patterns. I now have a recording that is like my own personal power ballad. Arolyn tucked in all of these thoughtful little tidbits from our various sessions into this special recording designed to help lift you up and focus your energy and thoughts. That recording wouldn't have been as robust without her help and without us both spending quite a bit of time on it. I now listen to that recording most every day. With Arolyn's help, I learned to go into a deep meditative state that helped to change the waves of my brain and even more difficult, learned to change the language that I use. And most of this work was really done between appointments with the tools Arolyn showed me. It isn't a super power but it does take effort on your part. I plan to keep her number handy and use her again when needed. Thank you Arolyn for your support and guidance! read more

I like the approach and very simple way to follow to get the best result. Ms.Burns is very professional and knowledgeable, her techniques are very useful and I got a good resolute following her technique. I would recommend her very much ! I got so much energy and life has been amazing since I started working with her. read more

What I liked about meeting with Arolyn, is that she is somebody who I always feel safe with , and that I can be authentic and open with her. She is professional, intelligent, empathetic, and has so much to offer. I highly recommend her. I actually just referred one of my clients to her because she is so amazing. read more

Super disappointed in my experience with Arolyn. I went to her for hypnotherapy for my performance anxiety, which she assured me would work wonders. Unfortunately, I trusted her, even though her rates are insanely high ($500 per 45 min?!), only for my performance anxiety to be exactly the same as before my 3 sessions with her. After reaching out to her to express my concerns and ask if she would be willing to refund me for the failed treatments, she refused. I feel like I was scammed out of $1500 which truly sucks as I'm a college student with very little money, and I made the mistake of putting all my faith and trust in her only to be let down. Don't make the same mistake as I did!!! read more

Relationships were very hard for me as i am from another country .Every time I was trying to talk to someone I felt misunderstood and it caused a lot of stress. Every new relationship would not last long.I would run away and avoid getting close, because I dont understand American men at all and it's not going to work. I decided to ask Arolyn for help and she really helped me. She always encouraged me and helped me. Now i am more open ,more social and brave. Arolyn changed my life! She is worth every penny. I would highly recommend! read more

Wow! Arolyn is one of a kind. Bursting with energy, warm, inviting and truly someone with so much to offer. As a Doctor of Acupuncture I am always looking for exceptional therapists that practice with a mind/body approach and Arolyn has it all! She uses so many incredible techniques like EMDR, hypnotherapy and so much more. I will definitely be referring my patients to her! read more

I was severely depressed and no hope. My life was falling apart. My husband left me. I lost my job. I had no friends. I didn't care if I died. Someone recommended Ms. Arolyn Burns. I didn't care and wasn't going to go, but then went. After one time, my life seemed different. I repeatedly saw her. She was magical. She changed my life. She gave me hope and self confidence. I am a completely different person because of her! I feel good about myself, I have a new boyfriend and a new job. This would not have happened if not for her. She made me feel good about myself. I'm very happy now. I highly recommend her. She will change your life for the better. She is so caring and loving. Thank you Arolyn for saving my life!! read more

I worked with Arolyn because a long term vocal disorder interrupted my career as a voice actor and due to the prolonged stress of having lost my ability to perform and earn a living for 2 years, I had developed a phobia of the recording booth and of reading copy. I'd go in there and my brain would signal all of my neck, shoulder and throat muscles to clamp down like a vice and I could hardly squeeze two words out without pain and effort. I still have the vocal disorder because of an underlying reflux issue, but after just a few sessions with Arolyn, the very visceral anxiety and stress response has vanished, which has allowed me to MANAGE the disorder enough that I AM able to work, albeit slowly. I am booking jobs again, working again, and I am so grateful for Arolyn's kindness, compassion, empathy and hypnotherapy know-how. She is a gem and worth the cost. I had anxiety about spending more money on this issue, when I was all tapped out after years of unemployment and treatments that didn't help, and I cannot say enough that I wish I'd saved all that money on talk therapy, acupuncture, Rolfing, etc. and just gone straight to Arolyn, as the mindbody connection is the one thing that really perpetuates a long term condition like this, even after the original trigger is gone. Thank you, Arolyn! read more

Arolyn is amazing. She is also very knowledgeable and experienced. I saw her for help with anxiety and post trama after a series of traumatic events in my life. She helped me get my life back on track, and feeling back to my normal self. She understands how the brain works, and the best techniques to use to help neurotransmitters rewire back to healthy patterns. She is empathetic, caring and fun! She listens, and truly cares about her clients. She is available by zoom or in office, and is flexible with your work schedule. She is a blessing. Thank you Arolyn! SJ read more

I am a certified life and business coach and NLP practitioner. I help people get past any mindset blocks and limiting beliefs. Even though I help others in this regard, it's still important to have someone help me when I'm feeling blocked or stuck. Arolyn is perfect for this. Her hypnosis techniques really help release those negative thought patterns that get stuck in our subconscious minds. The calming atmosphere of her office only augments the experience. She's truly passionate about what she does, and it shines through in her craft. read more

My daughter is a high school cheerleader that had been working on a particular skill for well over a year. She knew she could do it, but when it came time to perform it, she would freeze and seemed to be having a terrible mental block and anxiety. I started researching sports psychologists and hypnotherapy and came across Arolyn. Within only 2 sessions, my daughter nailed the skill!! It was truly amazing and I can't recommend Arolyn enough. She has a very friendly and welcoming personality and we are thrilled with the results of her treatment! read more

Anyone would be lucky honestly to have her as their therapist!! read more

I had the pleasure of attending the A Treatment Center's grand opening in Corona Del Mar and meeting Arolyn Burns. I was immediately struck by the qualities I saw in Arolyn Burns in my conversation with her and meeting her and how she conducted herself with all the people that attended her grand opening that evening. Not only am I impressed with her success, but she's and inspiration to me because of these qualities that she possesses. Compassion, understanding, empathy, honesty, competence, commitment, humanity, and courage to say the least! I have the utmost respect for Arolyn and if I am ever in any need of her services I would call her immediately, and I would also highly recommend her to my friends and family.

I had not considered therapy before, even after years of increasing anxiety, but my physician encouraged me to go and recommended Arolyn. I had no idea what to expect and could never have expected these incredible results. Honestly, it feels like I have looked into the mirror for the first time. Arolyn just pointed me in the directions of personality traits and past experiences that I had never thought about as major components of my anxiety issues. She opened the door to the negativity that was constantly damaging my behavior and turned it around so that I now have an amazingly more positive attitude. As a result, I am now enjoying my life, treasuring rather than dreading daily activities. Thank you, Arolyn, for helping me discover the person I can be. read more

I highly recommend The A Treatment Center and Arolyn Burns. When I first was diagnosed with depression, I didn't understand what was happening to me. One minute I was panicked, the next I was numb, I was never happy, and I was completely confused and scared as to how I went from cheerful and silly to depressed and dead inside. Arolyn held my had through it all. She made me feel safe and supported. She also didn't waste any time. She got to the heart of my issues right away and gave me not only compassion and sympathy, but real, actionable advice to help me improve and grow as a person. Arolyn is insightful and empathetic, compassionate without coddling, knowledgeable, and a wealth of experience. She has treated me with traditional CBT, hypnotherapy, and EMDR and I have been very pleased with the results from all practices. Basically, she knows how to utilize all the tools on her tool belt to give you the treatment and recovery that you personally need. Do not spend any more time wondering why your life isn't better, why you're not happier, or if, maybe, you should "see someone." Just give Arolyn a call and make an appointment. No matter where you are on your journey to contentedness and happiness, Arolyn can help. read more

Arolyn Burnes has helped me more than I ever thought possible. When I first started, I was extremely hesitant as it was my very first therapy session. Coming from a manly-man background instilled in me, I was very apprehensive. That is, until I started. I was instantly at home. Arolyn is not just a therapist, but a catalyst for change in others. Even being a 24 year old guy coming from law offices and a USC fraternity, she identifies with all walks of life. I only have one thing left to say to Arolyn directly; THANK YOU. read more

My name is Fred, my husband has suffered from depression for decades and has been seeing a mountain of therapist I feel shouldn't be therapist. Not one had an uplifting mood about them and to pass on to their client. Anyone with ANY common sense can see a depressed person needs a lift. When my husband started seeing Arolyn, at the first meeting, I could see the light slowly beaming through his eyes. And after a few more meetings my husband was returning back to me. I met Arolyn once and her personality is what I expected to be by the results of my husband's mental being. Arolyn is wonderful and is an asset to the mental health community. I just wish we had met her years ago. Thank you Arolyn for your help and expertise. read more

Answer to prayer; an amazing therapist! Arolyn is extremely insightful and the thoughtful manner in which she raised questions opened my eyes as to what MY hinderances have been to healing and rising above circumstances - I know, it's supposed to be everyone else's fault, right? Her sense of humor and compassion is so refreshing! It made my self-realizations something I could laugh about and take action on instead of feeling condemned or guilty for and sweeping under the rug. If you are looking for a therapist who is thought provoking, intelligent, with the ability to bring you to your best self (not to mention allows you to comfortably share freely [unlike one therapist I saw who kept giving me "sage advice" and stories about HER life for reference])...I highly recommend Arolyn. I am so happy that she opened a practice in Corona Del Mar. read more

Last year after a horrific car accident I started having panic attacks and other symptoms of PTSD. I had heard that hypnosis could be helpful, but I was skeptical. After several sessions with Arolyn I went from taking panic attack medication to simply listening to the hypnosis audio recording Arolyn made for me. While driving, I no longer fear that everyone else in a vehicle is going to hit me. Arolyn's technique, empathy, skill, compassion and hypnosis healed me. I now recommend her to friends, family and anyone within shouting distance. I was trapped by fear and panic before I saw Arolyn. Now I drive with confidence and faith. Thank you. read more

I cannot even give enough stars to Arolyn as a therapist. I went on a long journey to find the right therapist to talk to, after seeing three people before her, and passing on each one, Arolyn was a bright light for me. She is an intelligent and talented therapist. In my case, her methods were subtle, respectful, and thought provoking in the greatest of ways. I am so thankful that I found her and that she really helped me in the way I needed to be helped. read more
