I am writing this review about Amber Robinson who has been my therapist for 3 years now…read more When I first started seeing Amber, it was for both myself and my ex spouse. Our marriage was in serious trouble and ultimately ended. (Not because of our therapist). There was just too much damage by then. After the separation from the spouse, I expressed to Amber my desire to continue the therapy with her on my own. This is when the magic really began for me. Amber saved my life and I mean that in a literal sense. Through the last 2 1/2 years, she has been a rock in my life. Someone that I grew to admire, respect, appreciate, and love. I was a broken human being and I just wanted to say goodbye to this world. Amber was there through the thick and thin, the ups and downs and never once faltered as a therapist. Never once judged me or spoke to me in a way that would make me feel shamed or less of a human. She is and always has been supportive, compassionate, and always honest with me. And honesty is very important for change. Where would I be today without having her as my therapist? The answer to my question is frightening and I am just happy that myself or anyone has to find out. To say that I am truly grateful for her is selling her short in my opinion. But I am truly grateful for her along with blessed. I am healthy, I am healing, and I am getting my life back together and I credit her with so much of this. Amber, I will never be able to truly make you completely comprehend the gratitude I have. You're amazing and I will forever remember you and the impact you made on my life. Thank you.

I quite literally cannot emphasize how grateful I am to have found Ron Gad, a psychologist but also…read morethe founder of Beverly Hills Therapy Group. If you need help with personal, professional, or marriage issues, I am a living testament that this man and his staff will help change your life. They have the skillsets and modalities to help you alleviate any personal or relationship struggles you may be facing. I initiated work with Ron when things came to a head with my husband and me. We participated in a 6 day intensive therapy retreat that forever changed our lives. He sets up the retreat agenda with insane intentionality behind it. It focuses on reconnecting through various means while also working through the most damaging/painful issues. My husband and I returned home with a better understanding of who we are individually, what we need collectively, and the tools to use as we navigate our marriage. I haven't felt this connected to my husband in years, and didn't know if there was even a possibility to do so prior to this retreat. After the retreat, we have both continued joint therapy and initiated individual therapy. Within a month of working with Ron, I already feel a shift in my overall well-being and self-understanding. I had cycled through several therapists over the last ten to fifteen years, but never felt like the internal work I did stuck with me. I would feel unmotivated to attend therapy after a few sessions and move on to a new therapist or stop all together. I didn't trust them, and I felt like I was just talking about issues and feelings but was not moving forward. This is where Ron really stands out to me: he focuses on solving present day issues by working through root causes. It is without question, that if we don't address the origin of our feelings, that we won't truly heal our wounds or change or behaviors. He has made me a firm believe in this, and I am continuing to see this play out. I deeply wish that anyone who reads this and is seeking help passively or desperately, reaches out to Beverly Hills Therapy Group today. I promise you it will change your life. I know it has for my husband and me. Outside of Ron's unquestionable skills, he is one of a kind. He is extremely likeable, hospitable (always has snacks, water, and coffee for you in his office), hysterical, and non-judgmental. He is open with his personal battles and very much humanizes the entire therapeutic experience. Good therapists are hard to find, but exceptional therapists are nearly impossible. I can't thank Ron and the BHTG enough.

Dr. Cotsen has been a lifesaver for me. I've tried multiple psychiatrists and Dr. Cotsen has been…read moreby far one of the best. I've had feelings of sudden desperation, and Dr. Cotsen ALWAYS responds in a timely manner. There's a huge piece of mind that brings comfort that help is an email away. I suffer from anxiety and his calm demeanor helps slow things down for me. Suddenly that feeling of impending doom and that "I gotta gotta" mentality becomes a faint voice. He provides deep and meaningful thoughts into his feedback and tools (such as his blogpost) to help in your mental wellbeing. He is patient and helped me walk through several exercises. His perspective and knowledge is insightful, practical, and well intended. It helps me change my perspective on how I view life situations. I've had some bad days but have have become more optimistic about the future and reaching my full potential. I feel Dr. Cotsen really respects his profession and his clients. I'm super grateful that people like Dr. Cotsen exist. A good psychiatrist is hard to find, Dr. Cotsen is definitely one of them.

My wife and I came to Brett for premarital counseling, and because it helped so much, we continued…read moreinto couples therapy. We definitely love each other, but we were struggling because we were stuck in some painful patterns, including miscommunication, jumping to conclusions, getting triggered, defensiveness, taking things personally that weren't meant that way, and staying stuck in our own points of view instead of really hearing each other. These patterns created a lot of unnecessary and very painful conflict between us. For example, small misunderstandings would quickly turn into big fights that dragged on forever and often left us not speaking at all for days. To help us with this, Brett helped each of us work through and resolve many of our individual issues that had been contributing to many of our conflicts. He also taught us a much healthier and more effective way of communicating. He slowed us down, helped us learn how to actually hear each other, and guided us toward deeper emotional connection. During our sessions, Brett taught us a number of very practical tools that have made an enormous difference. One of the most powerful was learning how to check in with each other about what each other actually said versus what we thought we heard, instead of just reacting to our own assumptions. For example, if things started to escalate in our sessions, one of the many ways Brett would help was to gently pause us and have each of us repeat what the other person actually said before responding. This helped us see how often our assumptions were off. That shift alone has helped us respond to each other in a much more accurate and thoughtful way, rather than just reacting to our own interpretations and misunderstandings. This, along with everything else Brett did to help us, has been absolutely huge for us! Couples therapy with Brett has truly been life-changing for us. He has a remarkable ability to identify the core of a problem and guide you toward practical ways of addressing it. As a result, our conflicts have decreased dramatically. And when disagreements do come up, we're now able to resolve things much faster and reconnect with genuine understanding and emotional closeness. We've both definitely put in the work, that's for sure. But, it's clear to us that the progress we made would not have been possible without Brett's professional insight, skill, and steady guidance. I also want to say how calming, supportive, and accepting Brett is as a therapist. He's thoughtful, non-judgmental, and deeply caring, and he creates a space where we feel safe opening up, sharing honestly, and really doing the deeper work. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brett to any individual or couple who is struggling, and who wants a highly skilled psychotherapist and couple therapists to help them heal, grow, and significantly improve their well-being and their relationship. Highly recommended!

I first came to see Dr. William Cloke (aka Bill) in 2018 in a very frustrated and distressed state…read moreabout life. We all have our issues and for me, being a 32 year old female lawyer with my own a law practice to run, newly married and having fertility issues were just a few of them. I would have never thought I would develope such a wonderful client/therapist relationship with 70 something year old male, but he was HIGHLY recommended from a couple different reliable sources. So after keeping his info for about a year and referring my own parents (who were on the verge of divorce after 30 years) to see him, I decided things were bad enough for me that it was time. In hindsight, I wish I would have gone before things got so bad, but that's life and now I share my experience with others in hopes that it can benefit them. I grew up in a very loving family with a lot of usual and usual cultural dysfunctions of its time. I hadn't processed any of that childhood and the impact it had on me until it was time for me to start my own family (that I was chosing to start with another person who also had all this unprocessed stuff). My partner, didn't "believe" in therapy. Actually, he had one belief, and that was that "therapists make things worse". So, in 2018, I went to my first session, alone. Ten months later, I went to my 2nd session alone (after I filled for divorce) and I haven't stopped going since (except for a 3 month break after I gave birth to my daughter). Since that time, I got back with my husband, got pregnant with our first daughter, moved to a new house, dealt with a whole lot of new changes in my career and our new family of 3, and a pandemic. Through all of it, Bill has been my light in the tunnel of life. At a time where I could have just burned all of my surroundings to the ground and moved on to rebuild from scratch only to end up with different surroundings and the same common denominator (me) ... Bill took me in, non-judgmentally, and helped me understand myself so I could reprogram/build myself up from the inside out. My husband saw the positive change and he eventually joined us for couples therapy sessions that really helped give us new conflict resolution tools we never had modeled to us in our families. Bill brought about nothing short of at least a few miracles in our relationship. My husband and I have very different personality types and it's awesome to see how Bill gained and kept both our trust/respect to work his magic on both of us to help us build the beautiful life we have now (and continue to work on and grow). As a woman, Bill has given me GREAT insight into understanding the male brain. He has also acknowledged my female struggles and given me the emotional support I need/ed to build and maintain a solid foundation within myself that has allowed me to not only survive, but also thrive in this life. My husband has now referred him to close friends and family. I have referred several close friends to him and they have been with them for a long time now as well.
