I can't remember the last time I was singing to a tune. she takes her time with u and she is a safe and nonjudgmental space to vent and figure yourself out.

I am a retired counselor/psychotherapist who strongly believes in the benefits of therapy for…read morepersonal growth. Whenever I have a "sticky" personal issue, I search for the type of therapist I think can best help me get "un-stuck" and begin moving forward with my goals and development process. This time around, my "issue" was creating a good deal of anxiety for me. Logic and intuition told me that hypno-therapy could be the answer. I researched different hypno-therapists in my area (as you are doing now), and was pretty impressed by the positive reviews for Clarice Barkhordarian. Too good to be true? Even with high expectations based on the reviews, I have been "blown away" by Clarice's skill, and the efficiency of the hypnotherapy method! I walked away from the first session feeling significantly calmer, and started sleeping better that first night. After 5 sessions, I am managing the situations and interactions that that had felt so paralyzing only weeks before. I am able to access essentially all of my intuition and interpersonal skills to cope what life (and family) is throwing my way. Needless to say, "your results may vary." Like I said, I've been working on personal growth my whole adult life. Your situation may require more time. But I am telling everyone I know about Clarice, and encouraging people who share their struggles with me to invest in this service. There is no doubt whatsoever that I will be calling Clarice the next I am getting triggered by life. That in itself is reassuring!

I am a chronic therapist shopper. I have to like 6 here in L.A.. When Jessica and spoke, she asked…read moreme this straight out. Before she made an appointment with me, she was curious to know what wasn't working in those sessions and what I was looking for. She nailed it. Without her saying it, she made me look at myself first. Was I ready? And then she said to think about it before I made an appointment. I did. This was quick and easy!!!

Jessica has been an absolute healer in my life. To be completely honest, I am 4 months into…read moretherapy, and I feel like a different person than I was before. It's funny, a lot of people hesitate to speak to a therapist because they feel "they are fine." Yes, you can be fine, but you still have the capability to learn, grow and broaden your ways of thinking. Little did I know... I'm all about insight and perspective - Jessica flows with that. I've told her certain things I'd like to work on, my hardships, my good times, and moments that were challenging for me. I'm not going to lie, these conversations were foreign to me because I've always been the type to talk to others about how they feel, not really ever about how I feel. She genuinely cares about the shifts I want to make in life and guides me through it - it changes the game! Jessica has a powerful energy that really makes you want to conquer goals that you're working towards. She is a wonderful listener and gives the right amount of challenge to better my ways of thinking, being, and reacting. She is there any time I need her, judgement free, ready to deliver. I learn more about myself after every session with her, and am grateful to have found her especially during this crazy time!

I was a classmate of Ariel's in San Francisco and cannot speak enough to what an asset she would be…read moreto any therapeutic journey. She offers a particularly powerful brand of empathy in that it is rooted in her sense of groundedness as a human being. This contributes to innate sincerity in the therapeutic relationship, which in turn lends itself to something really sustainable and applicable to the inevitable challenges that come up in the process. In my personal experience this amalgamation of attributes is highly rare, and the opportunity to have this person to work with should not be passed on by anyone honestly seeking to embark upon this path.

I wasn't in a great mental state of mind. I found Junie through Yelp because at that point I was…read morefrustrated with my work insurance. I did not want zoom therapy and I wanted quality therapy. I spoke to Junie first and she pushed me in a way it wasn't forced. She chose Elaine as my therapist and she is awesome. It was def nerve racking at first. I got lucky because I would hear from others that it would take several tries to find a therapist that was the right fit. Fortunately, that wasn't my case. Elaine is amazing and I always leave feeling some sort of relief and learn something new. Also, the office is close to my place so it was convenient. Although I am paying out of pocket, it's worth it compared to other unhealthy coping spending. They do provide a superbill for you in case your insurance reimburses. I highly recommend Elaine.

I had been searching for years, almost hopeless. I can not be more grateful for Linda. She is very intelligent. She knows her stuff. Her office is very warm and inviting. Since Covid you can book video sessions. That is still very helpful. I look forward to our sessions. Since I've been going to Linda I have seen a change in the way I cope, I have healthy ways to cope now. I have positive self talk. I have encouragement.

I told my medical doctor at Cedar Sinai that I wanted to do hypnotherapy and they sent me to a psychiatrist who does it and said I would be a bad candidate lol. But that psychiatrist admitted he wasn't very healthy at 400+ pounds and I wish I hadn't listened. Instead he told me Prozac would help which I got on which is a fluoride drug and I got very sick. And I was on it for several years. Finally, 3+ years later I saw the light when I saw Mary and within one session I was cured. No longer did I pull out my eyelashes or hair, which is hereditary and and I stopped instantly after one single session. Oh yeah. And I quit the medication. Thanks Mary. You cured me. Plain and simple.

Mary can always be counted on to say exactly the right things to fix your headspace. She's amazing.read more

After leaving a voicemail, I received a callback same day. Dr Carlson mentioned that she didn't treat children, but would spider her network to see if she could find a referral based on my criteria. Honestly, I didn't expect to hear back from her, but 24 hours later there were 4 referrals in my inbox. The time she took to help me find a provider for my child didn't go unnoticed. While we were not able to move forward with Dr Carlson, I thought it was important to share I had a really positive experience with her, and her practice.

She has an interesting approach to therapy that includes a warmer way to work through issues. The whole idea of Integral Psychology was new to me, but now understand how your mind, body and spirit need to be balanced in order to just live a happier or more emotionally healthy life. She was also really relatable, easy to talk to, and - for once! - a therapist I'm actually looking forward to seeing again! I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with Therapy with Ana!

I met Ana, when I was struggling with a divorce and at the lowest point in my life. I had been…read moremarried for 8 years and couldn't imagine starting over and finding an identity outside of being a wife. My self-esteem was so low and I felt so worthless. Ana helped me process my divorce and she took me through what she called "the grieving process". I never knew that you could grieve for people that are still alive. At first it was hard to open up but her caring demeanor made me open up and she helped me through my process. I saw her once a week for a year and have moved to seeing her every other week. The time away helps me see the things I need to work on, and gives me a chance to implement the things we talk about. I am so lucky to have found therapy and be able to enjoy things again. Divorce sucks...but it sucks more to do it alone. Thank you Ana!
