Dr. Richmond is the best psychiatrist I have ever worked with. I find him compassionate and…read moreknowledgeable--a true professional. His interventions are delivered at the right time and in a manner that I'm able to take them in. I feel respected as a human being. I've worked with him for the past three years and feel that I have progressed. He's been consistent, steady, and reliable. I find his training in psychoanalysis increases the resources he has available in order to help me clearly see my weaknesses. His billing rate is very fair. He's thoughtful with my medications and takes care of my refills quickly. He always returns my calls in a timely manner. I recommend him highly. I feel fortunate that a professor of psychiatry at Stanford School of Medicine referred me to Dr. Richmond. I certainly plan to continue having him as my psychiatrist.

I have been working with Dr Medved for over a year. He is my favorite therapist since his method…read moreworks on my issues very well. Ben is kind, experienced and direct. I understand that everyone has their preference so you should talk to different therapists to find the best one works for you. In my case, I enjoyed his humor and compassion. If you need help in your marriage, relationships or personal issues. I highly recommend Dr Medved. Ben has a good heart and worked in many fields to improve social justice before private practice. He mastered different models and approaches to solve complex challenges. He follows the latest updates in the field. In general, Ben is ethical, professional and knowledgable. He has his own style but he is nothing ordinary. The result proves his skills.

As a divorce attorney, I should be worried that I'll be out of work considering his remarkable talent in identifying the issues and finding the approach most likely to help each relationship evolve.

Dr Williams was my therapist for many years until she moved her practice. She is compassionate,…read morethoughtful, intelligent and helpful. Did amazing work for me. I highly recommend her. Have not found another therapist nearly as good as her.

I felt inclined to leave a review after...10 years of knowing Dr. Williams, 4ish total of working…read moretogether. I met her in my early 20s when I was in undergrad, suffering from trauma stemming from years of abuse. She wasn't even taking clients at the time, according to her voice messaging system, but she called me back and took me on. From then on, I found the best advocate one could hope for in a therapist. I eventually moved away and we discontinued working together. Then, I was having a rough patch and didn't have insurance, but we worked something out. She worked with me through this difficulty until I transitioned to grad school. We didn't talk for a few years. Fast forward three more years (six total, since I'd last worked with her) I'm back in California and in need of a great therapist. Now I'd seen many therapists during the six year gap since we'd worked together. I saw 5 others upon moving back to California, prior to working with her again. I came back to Dr. Williams after so many years because she's genuinely the best therapist I've ever had. She's supportive, smart as heck, perceptive, nuanced...and just amazing. She supported me through Trauma with EMDR when I was younger (and sometimes now). Now she's supporting me through a mood disorder. I highly recommend her...and I speak highly of her to everyone I meet.

He wants his patients to thrive. He gets that many of us in the tech world have unique stressors that are part of the fabric of our lives. He has helped me bring this into focus in order to find ways to manage them better. Dr. Alex has a lot of experience to draw from, and he uses his expertise in both psychiatry and medicine to find healthy ways to guide his patients to better sleep.

Warning - Dimitriu Will Call the Cops on You!…read more I was sitting in my house not bothering anyone or making any threats. I was not committing any crimes. I was not in danger. I was not bothering anyone else. This "doctor," Alex Dimitriu, called me at home and told me he was incarcerating me in a locked facility. I tried to talk to him to see what the problem was and address any concerns he might have. He arrogantly just told me "I'm not going to argue with you." The law was on my side and civil rights exist. I politely told this person that he technically could not legally do this to me. His response was to threaten to call the cops on me, weaponizing his medical license and the racial dynamics of the situation. Interacting with Alex Dimitriu left me feeling like the most helpless victim. He forced himself on me through "medical treatment" - involuntary incarceration. He spit on my right to due process - the one guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Alex Dimitriu treated me like three-fifths of a person. I have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of Dimitriu's aggression. I have not felt safe since he ignored the law, stripped me of my rights, and traumatized me. The professional psychotherapist I consulted (who is licensed by the state of California) called Dimitriu's actions "a disgusting abuse of power." I suspect but can not prove that he tried to hide his actions and this review from you, the reader. I've had to rewrite it once. Stay safe - stay away from Dimitriu! - Former patient

Dr. Tierney is an extremely thoughtful, relatable and kind healthcare provider. I know from…read moreexperience how difficult it is to find someone to talk to who you feel you deeply resonate with and feel can provide you with wisdom, care and will challenge you when you need it. If you have an interest in exploring your lived experience through art, movement, expression, or just straight shooting conversation, Dr. Tierney is a wonderful choice. I have never written a Yelp review before but I feel very strong about the fact that finding a great therapist is difficult work and if my review can help more people find someone that can genuinely help them, that is worth it. I think Dr. Tierney is a wonderful friend and healer and I recommend his services full heartedly!

He's seen us evolve as humans and is not afraid to challenge us bc that's how growth happens! Without his knowledge and expertise we would not be the people or couple we are today. Brian is not just a therapist but a coach and supportive person. We've learned and keep learning so much from the frameworks and tools we've learned with him. Do yourself a favor and work with this man!

I started with a lot on my plate. My startup felt like it was always on the edge, my marriage was under stress, and I didn't feel like I was handling things the way I used to. I was running on adrenaline and reacting to everything. Dr. Aguilera is an exceptional listener, and what really sets him apart is how precise he is. He has a rare ability to say the right thing at the right time, in a way that actually sticks. I'll catch myself thinking about something he said days later, then applying it in real situations. Since working with him, I feel more confident, emotionally steady, and resilient through the ups and downs. I've also found a healthier balance, I can work hard without sacrificing my relationships, and I'm enjoying life again with family and friends. I genuinely feel lucky to have his support and perspective, it's made a real difference.
