I highly recommend her and want to keep her in my daughter's life until my daughter turns 18. That is the extent of the impact she has had on our lives.

From…read morethe start, I spoke with Haley (very knowledgeable) about my particular situation to determine if the classes would benefit and they did. My daughter is 4 1/2 and I wish I would have discovered her classes earlier.

My suggestion is that if you are not sure if the class meets your needs/goals is to reach-out to Haley.

She put our minds at ease and opened our minds to a world of empathetic parenting. Her classes are a mix of therapy and education, but feel very personal and open. We took the class via zoom, which I thought might be a bit impersonal, but not at all; we could 100% feel her warmth and understanding through the virtual medium. I'm sure it's even better in person. Thank you, Hayley!

I caution anyone who is considering hiring Christine Golden at OC Psychology Center. Ms Golden…read moreexacerbated my children's anxiety they were experiencing as a result of a divorce and teamed up with my ex-wife to advocate on her behalf throughout the case. By the time I figured out that she was contributing to my family's destruction it was too late. She and the children and my ex had become emotionally attached and the court viewed that as a positive thing. She regularly reported me to CPS for emotional and physical abuse and each investigation concluded that there was no evidence to substantiate the report and that the Ms Golden was mis-informed. My ex then used Ms. Golden's unsubstantiated reports in family court to restrict my custody time. Yes, you are guilty until proven innocent in family court, something my ex's attorney (also female) knew quite well. It was a well orchestrated attack on an unsuspecting father, using and manipulating my children for their own emotional and financial gain. I never knew humanity to stoop so low, all under the guise of 'the best interest of the child' as advocated by family court. When discussing one particular report of abuse, Ms Golden told me "the truth of [my son's] allegation doesn't matter. What matters is what [my son] FEELS the truth is." This confirmed my suspicions developed over the preceding 6 months. The actual truth is that Ms. Golden had no experience working with children in a high conflict divorce, she had no parenting experience of her own, and she was unlicensed at the time she recommended weekly therapy. Her therapeutic experience is with young adults suffering from trauma. She applied this experience to my children (8 and 9) and offered separate 'parenting sessions' to me and my ex, totaling 4 sessions a week. I quickly opted out recognizing her 'therapy' only as a scam and a way to further separate me from my children. My ex on the other hand used Ms Golden masterfully to obtain the 'expert' testimony she needed to obtain full custody. I find it horrifically ironic that in my case the people making accusations of abuse (Ms. Golden and my ex) were same people stoking chaos and subjecting my children to the chaos that created their anxiety to begin with. And rather than help my children understand that they have a loving father and their relationship with him is important, Ms Golden did the exact opposite. Ms Golden obviously lacks the therapeutic, ethical, and parental foundation that any well meaning parent would seek for their child's psychologist. Your child's mind is sacred ground that should be protected against therapists like Ms. Golden.

I reached out to Dr Montgomery regarding my son who is suffering from anxiety. We live out of town…read morebut was willing to drive to find a good doctor. Dr Montgomery called me the same day and spent 20-30 mins discussing my son and learning about our situation. After spending that time with me he explained that it made sense for us to see someone closer to us given it would be ongoing care. Despite that, he sat on the phone with me and helped research doctors in my area. After we hung up he sent a follow up email with resources (doctors, books, etc). I can tell he is a dedicated and caring doctor and if we lived closer I would definitely come see him!

She has been with me through every major milestone and challenge--heartbreaks, school stress, work transitions, relationships, friendships, and even navigating the complexities of business and personal growth. Linda provides a safe, welcoming space where I always feel heard, understood, and supported. Her compassion, wisdom, and ability to offer practical tools have helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. To this day, she remains my trusted safe space, and I am so grateful to have her in my corner. Thank you so much, Linda, for everything you've done for me over the years!!! :) If you're looking for a therapist who truly cares and will walk with you through life's ups and downs, I can't recommend Linda enough.

had heard of Linda Rider while working as an office manager for a psychiatrist. We had heard of…read moreher through the grapevine and had referred some of our patients to her as well. Upon hiring on as a health coach in a separate role and going through my own personal difficult times with relationships, family and work, I decided to make an appointment for myself. My main purpose in going at the time was to help address mental blocks in weight release/management. I had been to traditional therapists before, but I never felt like I had found the right fit. I felt like they didn't give me any feedback and forced me to talk the whole time. Linda Rider is an active participant in trying to discuss and workout what you are there for. I was pleasantly surprised that hypnotherapy was nothing like I imagined. To me, it felt like guided mediation. I'm was in control of my thoughts the whole time, but I felt I could access a different part of myself by being more relaxed. Linda Rider is warm, kind, and real with you. She is authentic and sincere. She has a way of helping you see another perspective you didn't see before and relieving your subconscious from it's demons. She puts you in your place, but in a way that you can process to move forward in a better way. Once you have talked it out with her consciously, she guides you through hypnotherapy. She helps me work it out myself and get to a place I can't get to alone. Since I have been seeing her more regularly, I have released weight, formed stronger bonds in my relationships, and excelled in my career. I cannot thank her enough for all she has provided for me. I'd highly recommend you giver her a try.

We had a session with Lisa Strong, and I just don't think she was what my husband and I needed in…read morethat moment. I have to admit, I was probably in a bit of a crisis mindset since our issues were bubbled at the surface, so it felt like the session was unorganized, which I know I contributed to that. She didn't get any information prior to our session, so it felt like she went in blind and didn't have any frame or reference to what help we needed. At the end of the first session, she gave us "homework" which I think would have been tremendously helpful had it been done prior to the first session so that my husband and I could organize our thoughts, and she could have some indication of the help we needed so that she could be most effective in the session. They don't take insurance, so paying cash for a session, you really want to be able to make the most of the money spent. I think bc of her unfamiliarity with our situation, she made some suggestions that were obvious and things we had already done. I also felt like she made other suggestions for things that were not issues we were seeking services for. My husband and I both felt like it wasn't the most effective session, but that is how therapy works! You keep "shopping" until you find someone you feel best with. I will say she was patient and calm, and did allow me to speak. She made sure to include all parties and really was solution focused. I think she can be very effective for some, I just think it was my poor demeanor related to the need for therapy that marred our visit.
