I'm so so so grateful to have found Rochelle! Several months ago, I hit an emotional rock bottom…read moreand was desperate to find some sort of reprieve. I had never gone to therapy before but it was something I always wanted to try. I found her through Yelp and was impressed with the reviews and called her for a consultation. She was warm and personable and asked some questions to see if she felt she could help me. Once she determined she could, she set up a weekly time that worked with my schedule. Through my sessions, I gained so much understanding into connecting with my inner self. I had already spent a lot of time dwelling on my childhood emotional traumas and I had felt like I had a good grasp of my emotional patterns. I just hadn't figured out how to heal from them. Her first hypnotherapy session (which I would describe as a guided meditation) was a profound experience for me. She helped me connect visually with the concept of "self love", something I struggled with my whole life. I'm so grateful for the experience, and she was such an incredible emotional support through a very difficult period of time in my life. She helped me maintain healthy coping habits and to deal with hard times gracefully and in a way I feel proud of looking back. She is a wonderful and authentic healer and I highly recommend her!

I was a patient of Dr. Dicken's on and off (mostly on) for about 3 years (2016-2019), and I also…read morecompleted her four-week mindfulness and surfing workshop, Saltwater Sessions. I consider myself fairly particular about whom I work with in any setting, but especially so in therapy, and I have no reservations about recommending Dr. Dicken wholeheartedly to anyone in search of counseling on the Westside, or even remotely. In addition to her strong fundamentals - pattern recognition, ability to link the past to the present, clear memory for people and events - Dr. Dicken brings both a calming warmth and a wry sense of humor to her work. She also possesses a broad range of intellectual reference points, which makes her a more universally accessible therapist. I appreciated how we were able to build a strong relationship - complete with conversational shorthand, vulnerable and honest communication in both directions, and the occasional (or even frequent) jokes. While working with Dr. Dicken, I made significant strides in several key relationships with both friends and family, as well as in my professional life. Obviously these changes were not her doing, but having her there to work through obstacles and concretize action plans was a significant help. I ended my engagement with her in December of 2019 because I felt confident that I could succeed in my short- and medium-term goals without additional therapy, thanks in large part to the work we did together and the tools I developed in those sessions. Finding a therapist is a very personal process, but I believe Dr. Dicken has a broad appeal and is well worth consideration for anyone in search of a down-to-earth and thoughtful counselor.

Dr. Sarah was able to identify root problems that I had struggled with for years, guiding us gently toward breaking old habits.

Don't waste your time and energy searching yelp and google (I'm the investigative shopper type). Rush to her website and book a virtual or in person session! THE STORY: I found Christina at what has been the scariest obstacle in my life--life threatening illness. I knew it was finally time to do the one thing I'd refused to do for years, face the facts...I can't "figure it out on my own", if I want real health and wellness green juice wasn't going to be the only strategy anymore, and I had to face the really scary truths. Let's just say, no matter how good things seem to be or how much you pretend them to be...your mind knows the truth! EXPERIENCE: Christina literally radiates this amazing energy! She has the perfect balance!! She isn't faking the funk or robbing you with some astronomical price that will just stress you out more. She finds the it what YOU need each time you go. She isn't harsh or intense- she's honest, so unless you want to keep lying to yourself, she will make you own the truth (but don't worry she will walk you out of the stuff that's been weighing you down with love and laughs and fierce female vibes!). You will leave feeling all the pressure off of you! But even when you leave your session, she gives homework! So the healing doesn't stop after you walk out, she gives you things you can incorporate each time to help you continue the work! IN A NUTSHELL: She's basically AMAZING! If you want real, honest, authentic, powerful, transformative healing...you see Christina. Love, a best friend!

Also, I got the sense that she doesn't respect my time at all and she puts money before her patients. I suggest try other therapists before going to her. Update: 1. The first session, I asked her how would like to work, her methodology and modality. She answered nothing, explained nothing. Instead she focused on my payment, and overcharged my co-payment until she confirmed my insurance later. I understand. 2. Another session. I paid her cash right after, yet she still requested fee through my Venmo. I emailed her that I have already paid, then she simply answered: "You're totally right." I understand. 3. I had an emergency on my way to her office. My car tire got flatten. I emailed her about the emergency. She charged the whole session fee out of my own pocket, which I understand. But she could have explained and provided other options for me to make up for the session through phone or email. Instead, she accused me of not knowing how therapy payment works, and stating that she could have given the spot to other clients. But the truth is, this is the first time I ever missed a session. And I made the appointment the day before, after she came back from travel, and there was no other client to take the spot. And she knew I'm a student and on student insurance. Again, I respect her time and I understand. 4. The most ridiculous is the last session. I told her what I wanted to talk about and I needed one more session to finish therapy with her. She finally explained her modality to me that she only worked with long-term clients, and thus refused to provide further service. She literally let me go, ignoring my goal and my need for this last session. However, she's still charging my insurance for this session. She wasted me almost two hours, from preparation, driving, parking, paying the parking fee, etc. I could have spent that time on my study, work, or with my family and friends. She neither cared or respected me, but "tricking" me to her office so she can bill my insurance. I decided to go to therapy because one of my best friends who works in medical field suggests that everyone should have a therapist to achieve better emotional balance and happiness. I didn't expect to receive such negativity and indifference.
