Summary: doesnt do…read morehypnotherapy, no time management skills, bills you for the time she went over in session, charges too much just for talk therapy, doesnt refund for unused sessions. My first 2 sessions were ok, I thought they would improve, but did not. She spent the time just talking with me, which I understand as a way to get to know me in order to do the hypnotherapy. But after 7 sessions, I stopped going. She wanted to just chat even after I told her I wanted to do the hypnotherapy on 2 different occasions. Seems she doesnt know how to do it, maybe wants to be a psychologist. She did do one "hypnotherapy " but it was 10 minutes and just a basic guided imagery meditation, which I can do on my own. The sessions were supposed to be one hour long, but she kept running over to 2 hours and then charging me for it! I told her that it's her responsibility to keep the time, not me, and then to charge me more after the agreed amount and time, is outrageous. I paid for 10 sessions up front, as she said it would take time, but we werent doing anything. I've already had years of talk therapy and that's not what I wanted to spend $100/hour on. I can get talk therapy for $40/hour. Even with the package, she gave me a slight discount, but when I asked for a refund on the reminder, she refused and said she could give it to me as a gift card. I explained that theres no way I could gift her services since shes not providing the services she advertises and I'm unhappy with. I do not recommend her.

I am a frequent repeat customer of hers because I know that she is truly gifted and can see the truth! At the start of each session, she'll ask if there's anything specific I want to focus on or if I'd prefer her to simply share what comes up for her. I always let her go ahead without telling her anything that's on my mind beforehand, and she consistently picks up on things happening in my life with astounding accuracy, down to details that only I would know. She picks up on things almost instantaneously and has an incredible ability to tap into energy and give accurate, insightful readings. What has always stood out to me is that she's not only able to read my energy, but also the energies and intentions of people connected to me, regardless of whether they're physically close or far away. She's often picked up on dynamics and situations involving others in my life that I was not aware of with surprising accuracy, and has given me great guidance on how to protect myself from anyone with ill intent. One of the things I appreciate most about Michelle is how straightforward she is. She's honest and direct and tells you things exactly as she feels them to be, which I really value. It's like she can actually feel whatever it is that the person she's tapping into can feel and relays that back so accurately. She is also very warm, humorous, and easy to talk to. I find myself laughing during our sessions and always feel comfortable no matter what because she is so down to earth. She is also able to tap into my ancestral energy and often reminds me of my spirit team and the protection around me, which always feels very grounding and reassuring. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, relieved, and with a strong sense of clarity and reassurance. I truly don't know how I could have gotten through so many challenging times in life without her. Her wisdom, her guidance, and her empathy is what makes her so special. Thank you, Michelle, for always helping me heal!

I was truly at my wits' end. Childhood-rooted issues had carried over into my adulthood, and a…read morerecent heartbreak left me drowning in self-loathing, depression, and a vicious repetitive cycle. Traditional Western medications and therapy offered some temporary relief, but the moment I walked out of the office, I was right back to square one--nothing seemed to stick. Desperate for something different, I stumbled across the idea of hypnotherapy. Honestly, I had nothing to lose, so I decided to give it a real chance. After an initial phone conversation, I met Elizabeth in person. I'll admit I was still pretty skeptical during that first week--especially as someone who works in a hospital providing direct patient care, where evidence-based approaches are the norm. But I committed to the process. I followed the program diligently, incorporating the holistic medications/supplements and listening to the hypnotherapy recordings twice a day as instructed. Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, things began to shift. My mentality and self-perception started changing in ways I hadn't thought possible. By the end of the program, I was genuinely not the same person who first walked into Elizabeth's office. I'm so much more outgoing now. I willingly put myself in vulnerable situations with strangers--something social anxiety used to completely paralyze me from doing. I even reenrolled in school, not just for the education, but to be around others and embrace that environment, which previously would have triggered overwhelming anxiety. This experience was worth every single penny. If you're feeling stuck in a painful cycle--whether it's anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or something deeper--I can't recommend Elizabeth and her hypnotherapy approach enough. It truly helped me get unstuck and move forward. What stands out even more is Elizabeth's genuine care. Even after all my sessions were completed, she still reaches out periodically to check in and see how I'm doing. That level of follow-through shows someone who takes real pride in their work and truly cares about their clients' long-term outcomes. Thank you, Elizabeth--you don't know how profoundly you've changed my life. If you're on the fence, just take the leap. It could be the turning point you've been searching for.

I was dealing with…read moreextreme anxiety while also trying to cope with my mom's cancer and everything else life was throwing at me. For over a year, I didn't feel like myself--I was constantly in a state of panic. Simple things like nighttime, driving long distances, or even leaving my home felt overwhelming. Elizabeth helped me understand that what I was going through wasn't just about my current situation, but also connected to deeper childhood experiences I hadn't fully recognized. She guided me through those emotions with patience and care, helping me make sense of everything I was feeling. Through her support and the process she walked me through, I slowly began to feel like myself again. I'm now in a much more positive place, and I truly feel like I've regained my sense of normalcy. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'm so grateful I took that step. If you follow her guidance, it truly works. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is struggling,she made a life-changing difference for me.

I debated long and hard as to whether or not leave a review here. However, after meditating on it…read moreand realizing how important is to get balanced perspectives on something so important as mental health, I find my heart leading me to sharing my experience here for others to consider. There were traditional therapists I found through my insurance provider. Licensed counselors and psychologists. No one was "clicking," and after battling with crippling anxiety, manic episodes, and depression, I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Jacqui. This was back in July 2016. I had a free phone consult with her first. Her voice was warm and her advice was concrete. However, she also pushed me to write a positive review of her book on Amazon. There was definitely a mercenary and marketing tone to her approach. My husband and I paid a substantial amount for my first and only session. We spent most of that time reviewing my past and writing out a "master script," in which I was to detail who I wanted to be with orders to record myself saying these self-affirmations, which were then to reviewed everyday. She smiled and said I would achieve the results I wanted if I purchased her packages, which would be "very cool," as she put it. She also determined I would need the maximum number of sessions with her given how vulnerable and agitated I came across. Then the strange stuff happened. I asked Jacqui for an invoice. I wanted to see if I could submit an itemized bill to my insurance company for out-of-network behavioral services. Jacqui called me right away and told me she didn't have a diagnostic code. She suggested I get a code from my psychiatrist. Then she called me back to say she was moving to North Carolina and could only offer video sessions. The price would remain the same. I declined, and thought, well that's the end of that. But it was not. She continued to call me. She told me I was one of the fortunate few who would be able to receive a free session with someone she personally vetted, a man familiar with "tapping." She promised to watch to make sure he was a good enough replacement. The whole process would take place in her Costa Mesa office. At first, I said yes, because hey, free is not a bad deal. Yet deep down the whole thing reeked of duplicity. Yes, Jacqui is warm and has a good beside manner. However, she made claims I don't think any mental health provider would assert. That may be the point; she is not practicing under a code of ethics. Healing Minds is where people go when they've run out of options. Ultimately, I refused the free session with her replacement. I chose instead to go with evidence-backed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a proven system that has reduced my emotional reactivity and improved my relationships. Given what transpired, I cannot recommend Healing Minds or Jacqui's services under good conscience.

This isn't about me, this is about you. You are here obviously to seek help in your life. To…read moreregain some control, to let go of outdated, hindering emotions. There are therapist that only help people for the money. Therapist whom get jaded over the years and only see clients as numbers walking in and out of their office. This was a concern of mine. To pay a stranger to care for your problems for an allotted amount of time, and give you feedback and techniques to take home that may or may not just keep you running mental circles was a big concern for me when researching therapists. So let me alleviate them for you when speaking of Jacqui. I emailed her a standard net email I was sending to some therapist in the OC/LA area. Her response was the same day. We set up an introductory phone session for later that week. Within the phone session, I felt the sincerity that Jacqui was offering that I was looking for. Instead of just the usual psycho-spiel that most other therapists were giving me on the phone interviews, Jacqui actually let me talk, was not worried about time too much, and listened to what I was saying. That sealed it for me. We set up our actual session for the next week. I have never done professional hypno-therapy or EFT before, and I had minor doubts only because I know how my mind likes to distract itself, especially when being told to be quiet. The pace and direction of the session were all very well received though At the end of the session, I did see some immediate changes in my mannerism regarding the my own self defeating patterns. Jacqui's sincerity shined through till the very end of our session, and it was an added bonus to know that she still actively seeks her own betterment, not many therapists will admit to that. Instead of selling me an inflated amount of sessions, she suggested the amount she saw fit for my progression. I am done with my sessions with her, and I am very happy that I chose Jacqui. A bit of advise from me though, it is awesome that you are seeking help, but do not be addicted to seeking help from without. Any good teacher, therapist, psychologist, etc. will only be a great guiding post to your own inner answers and truth. They are not the answer, and they will not have the answers for you, they can only point you to your own, and it is up to you then to live within it. And Jacqui is an excellent guiding post! I am recommending my girlfriend to go see Jacqui, and anyone else that may read this review. Hope this has helped you with your decision! Cheers!

When a challenge/experience arrives in my life, I get to face it knowing I can call on him if I want to. It matters. The knowledge that there is a therapist I have built trust with provides a freedom to face the unknown on my own, without being alone. In a perfect world, everyone would have a therapist. I had no idea how much my ability to work through challenges would improve, just from having someone to talk through the big ones with. Patrick in particular has a deep understanding of the ways our minds can respond to life, and provides that insight without the detached, clinical vibe so many therapists seem to approach patients with. It's something truly special that he brings to the table. Finding a therapist you vibe with is not a simple task. Having one is a gift. You are a gift, Patrick. Thank you.

I'd seen two therapists before Patrick: one thought it was OK to answer her phone throughout our…read moresession and the other although she did listen to me, I just didn't connect with her and I left feeling the same as when I went in. I was initially apprehensive about seeing a male therapist as I worried that I'd be embarrassed to open up to him or that he wouldn't understand me. I was wrong. From the first meeting he just told me to say what was on my mind, I did and it was great and I left feeling like I'd actually done something that was helping me move in the right direction. He's friendly, kind, welcoming, a great listener, I don't know how he does it but he remembers pretty much everything, he's funny and you feel like he genuinely cares about what you have to say while helping you realize the reasons why you feel and act the way you do. Along with other important changes I've made in my life, he has truly been a great help in guiding me to be more assertive and quiet my own inner critic enough to find peace of mind. There is still work to be done and I know that Patrick will be able to continue to help me. It goes without saying that I highly recommend Patrick.
