After four years of working together, the therapeutic relationship ended during a period of…read moresignificant distress for me. Attempts to address concerns did not lead to repair, and the focus shifted toward protecting the therapist's personal boundaries rather than supporting stabilization or closure. I left feeling blamed for my distress and unsupported at the end of care. This experience was destabilizing and painful, particularly given the length of the relationship. I encourage others with complex mental health needs to discuss in advance how conflict, boundaries, and termination are handled.

My husband and I were hoping to take advantage of our insurance covered therapy sessions before the…read moreend of the year to have a relationship tune up. I reached out to Coastal Counseling after reading the great reviews. It took days before hearing back from anyone and then after giving my information to the receptionist (?) they said they would reach out to the therapists to see who would want to take us on. Weeks go by and so I follow up and then the person asks me all the same questions again and then says the same exact thing...they'll reach out to the therapists. Another week goes by and then I get a text message asking if we could do an apt 2 hours before I told them my husband gets home from work. Which is not doable for us. Still waiting to hear back....guess I should look elsewhere. There services are probably great, if you can wait around long enough to actually get an appointment with someone.

If you are wealthy and looking for a family court mediator for sale, look no further than Lynn…read moreWaldman. This woman was amazing. She completely denied the proof that I and my son were abused and suggested that his father(super rich family) have custody, even though he was a raging drug addict and abuser. Even better, when you opponent tries to subpoena her to explain herself, she will be taking a 3 month vacation in the Caribbean on a court mediator salary. So take that, you peasants, thinking you are doing the best for your kids. Dang, after her, I dealt with 2 1/2 years of cout just to get my baby back. Money speaks and I had none. Now, my son is 18 and because of Lynne's bullshit, he has permanent lung damage and seizures, as she suggested he be with his abusive (super wealthy) drug addict father. Thanks, Lynn! Burn in fucking hell.

Julie is amazing and anyone living in the area is extremely blessed!

She has wonderful perspective and insight. she is a soft place to fall when you need it most. She is an expert in many areas and very skilled in what she does and yet she is one of the most down to earth and comfortable people to talk to. I was impressed with her professionalism and yet felt valued as a client. She makes you feel as if you are her number one priority when you are talking to her and as if she truly understands you. She shared a few key things that resonates with me still and gave me my AHA moments to move on. She always responds and returns calls or emails promptly and THAT was huge for me! Ten stars!!! If I could!

Absolute disgrace of a place. Also it's ILLEGAL to charge medi-cal members any late/cancellation…read morefees. I verified with insurance and in retaliation, Aloha immediately dropped me as a patient bc they are crooks who put profit over people. The business owner Kim replied w/ a generic little response (as they do) telling me to call the office to discuss with her and I was promptly hung up on twice by that degenerate named Cindy. The same one that dropped me as a patient in the first place. They said Kim doesn't even work there. So now I'll be filing a 2nd Grievance with my insurance as well as the medical board. Do not let these unethical scam artists gaslight you with the 'let's discuss this in private' and DO NOT ALLOW them to charge you fees if you have medi-cal. It is illegal. Call your insurance to verify.w

Jennie is incredible. As a therapist she couples her clinical knowledge while also honoring her…read moreintuition in the treatment of her clients. Her vision is to create a safe environment to allow the nurturing and growth for those of us who specifically express sensitivities and healing qualities of indigo, crystal, and rainbow children. Through this vision, she provides workshops for adults, children, and parents of children. Personally, my sons and I are at an advantage with Jennie's support. Through her insight and guidance we practice guided imagery and visualizations which have helped James focus his rainbow energy in school. I've also learned to tune in more to my 5 month old. Being a lightworker myself, she continues to encourage me to embrace who I am and where I am on my journey. Working with Jennie is truly an investment in yourself. I plan on having my children continue taking her workshops and follow whatever else she can provide to equip them with the tools they need.

From the beginning, we were welcomed into a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, with not only how she has her office but also emitting from her! She was able to help us zone in on what needed to be addressed and worked on, while also providing great Homework and new skills that would help us become better partners and communicators. She also didn't hold back when we needed to hear something more direct, especially when things got bad with us. But she always makes sure to talk with us in a very healing nature. We feel safe with expressing everything we need to and it has made us a better couple for that! We can't thank her enough for what she has done and for what is to still come with our sessions!
