Over the years I've participated in therapy with others, mostly in connection with parenting my children--so primarily in the context of family counseling. And often I had wished I (we) were talking with Diane. I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone interested in working with a dedicated, consummate therapist.

Having seen the negative comments from "Angelina Y.", I feel compelled to report my very positive…read moreexperience with Ms.Jacobs. I saw her for both psychotherapy and psychoanalysis approximately 15 years ago. I felt very fortunate to have been referred to her and benefited immeasurably from working with her. She is a consummate professional, meticulous in her application of professional standards, appropriate in her balanced use of empathy vs. confrontation, and impressive in her encyclopedic knowledge of theory and intervention techniques. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has both given and received psychotherapy over the years. I consider Diane Jacobs to be the best therapist I have ever worked with, and I would not hesitate to refer anyone to her

Incredible how…read moremuch of a difference it makes, speaking out loud openly and honestly to a knowledgeable, compassionate, down-to-earth professional psychologist. After so many years without counseling, I found myself on auto-pilot making routine apathy-driven mistakes. After just one month seeing Patricia, really quickly I began to feel my brain treating itself differently, almost like my conscience started taking itself seriously. Weird, never thought to phrase it like that before :o Interesting that most psychologist/psychiatrist offices tend to feel like offices and not like a therapy room, Patricia manages to pull this off at Ocean View. During our sessions I feel like I'm floating on a cloud, maybe because of the couch, but also there's an energy in the room that feels like a brief escape from the weight of the world. That's my long-winded way of saying that Patricia provides a comfortable environment for her sessions :) Also it's very clear that Patricia is passionate about her work and takes it very seriously, it became apparent to me after realizing just how busy of a schedule she has and yet still manages to make time for me in odd spots. Patricia is truly someone you can count on. You won't regret it!

The purpose of this review is to inform others of their policies before engaging in their services…read more I spent a year and a half in bi-monthly sessions with one of their therapists. This review is not a critique of her ability as a therapist, but rather the manor in which they began strictly enforcing late rescheduling fees. Due to work, I had to reschedule(not cancel) an appointment approximately 38 hours before my scheduled time. Their policy is 48 hours. 3 days later I received a superbill for an automatic late charge fee of $200. When I asked about the charge, their response was curt and uncompromising. Because of this, I chose to part ways. I have never been charged such a fee by a health care provider. Once long term relationships are established with health care providers, it is generally assumed that there is a threshold, a certain amount of leniency/forgiveness in situations like this. For further context, my wife had previously been under long term care with their practice for over 13 years. I hope this helps others know what to expect when engaging with this office and practice.

She seems to have bad memories. She can't remember what we have or haven't talked about. I was…read morerambling and rambling and the sessions ended without purpose. 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. I'm glad and grateful that I found another therapist who I decided to go to and have a long-term relationship with after I felt uncomfortable with Mahshid.
