I couldn't recommend Rebecca Kahane strongly enough. I grew up in a very dysfunctional home and…read morehad a very rough childhood, and from a very early age was put in front of one therapist after another who I either didn't connect to, or who couldn't seem to reach me. Thirteen years ago a dear friend recommended Rebecca, and I continue to feel so incredibly fortunate that she did. To this day, Rebecca is the only therapist I've seen since. When I had to move away from the El Segundo area, I continued to see Rebecca through phone sessions, and now we are fortunately in the "Age of Zoom" where our sessions continue remotely. I genuinely consider Rebecca to be a life-changer. It's not coincidental that I launched my career less than one year after my first meeting with her; looking back, there's no way I would have had the focus and the self-assuredness to move forward with realizing my dreams, let alone feel like I had a right to them. If you need help, and you've had the good fortune to stumble upon Rebecca's profile and are reading this, count your lucky stars and get in touch with her.

Michelle is an amazing therapist. She isn't the type of therapist who passively listens or who…read morehands out techniques. She's a therapist who takes the time to really know and care about you and your struggles. She comes across with an unusual humility and ability to clarify exactly what you're going through, how you got there, and what's so right about it. It's like she always sees what's great about you, even while you're in pain. Somehow you leave understanding yourself, your struggles, and ready to take the steps you to get to the other side of it. I think it's rare when a therapist is so authentic and understanding while really knowing their craft and knowing just what you need. Michelle has changed my life in ways that I can hardly believe. I can't fully express how grateful I am for her.

Not only that, she taught me the real meaning and value of transparency, compassion and patience. All of which are too easily overlooked, but absolutely essential to nurture a healthy relationship. I am now a firm believer of therapy in general, as well as the tremendous benefits and impact it offers to anyone and everyone. It's been a few years since I've "graduated", but Michelle's genuine words still resonate in my heart every day. You're the best. Thank you!!

Ms. Pirkl's compassionate, careful, and mindful approach, as well as her expertise in the areas of trauma and jiu-jitsu, were evident throughout her presentation. We were very fortunate and grateful for the chance to have Ms. Pirkl come speak to our group!

I used One Heart Counseling Center and therapist Anna Pirkl for my Daughter's counseling regarding…read moremy litigious divorce. I am sorry to say that I do not recommend One Heart Counseling Center. I was referred to One Heart Counseling Center (therapist Adrian), and thought my ex's and my daughter would get help and support while going through the bad divorce. Adrian was not available to see my Daughter and was given therapist Anna. This therapy was supposed to be Short Term "Safe Harbor" therapy (approx 3 Months, weekly = 12 sessions). It has now been over a year and +40Sessions. Reasons why I do not recommend One Heart Counseling Center: - Anna did not listen to my concerns for my Daughter's counseling. - Anna shared information regarding my Daughter's counseling with other therapist's and professionals without consent. - Anna allowed my ex to manipulate my Daughter's counseling, allowed her to have sessions without my knowledge, and gave her information but did not supply me the same information. - Anna would say and agree on one thing then do something completely opposite. Knowing what I now know, I would not recommend One Heart Counseling Center and therapist Anna.

*after posting this review, 2 random reviews popped up in defense of this...within hours. They are…read moreboth 5 stars which leads me to believe the rest of the reviews may not be real. I am now validated in why I chose to write this. I actually came back on here to delete my review because I started feeling bad, and then when I saw the new fake reviews, I decided to leave it up. I am actually considering filing a formal complaint with the state licensing board of Psychology. I came to this therapy center based on reviews and seeking safety and understanding while navigating an extremely difficult and confusing relationship with my ex-husband, who is a covert narcissist and also works in a high powered job. In the beginning, she gained my trust, she listened, validated my experiences, and made me feel seen for the first time in a long time. I felt like I could work on the relationship despite some deeply disturbing foundational truths. However, I felt rushed to fix the relationship before addressing the financial and emotional abuse. Something felt off. I realized a few sessions in the therapist was an associate (with a supervisor), but I wasn't informed of this. It caught me by surprise that she asked her supervisor his opinion and shared that with us. I started to feel our situation was beyond her expertise. I stuck it out and over time, things shifted dramatically. After my ex had a 1:1 with her and shared his version of events, the therapist's attitude toward me changed completely. She began to dismiss my concerns, silence me so that he could speak but didn't silence him when he interrupted me, she minimized my experiences, and even reframed deeply painful events in ways that aligned with his narrative. Events that I told her in a 1:1 were beyond traumatic for me. She wanted us to co-parent which is understandable, but romanticizing my trauma was tone deaf. I left the last session feeling retraumatized, unsafe, and blamed for dynamics that were rooted in manipulation and control. He is now using me firing her against me too and has now called me bipolar. A very common thing for narcissists to say to try to devalue and confuse their victim. It's not true. Maybe he told this therapist that too and she took the bait? He's very smart and manipulative. I have trauma response that is anxiety, and once you leave a narcissist they lose their energy supply. They panic. They call you crazy and start to convince others you are. It was devastating to realize that someone I had trusted with my healing could be swayed so easily by appearances and authority, especially when working with a client already in a power-imbalanced and emotionally abusive situation. Literal facts about financial abuse and gaslighting in sessions. It was horrible. She couldn't spot this abuse. She did spot my trauma but then diminished it to please him. I share this review not out of bitterness, but to caution others: if you are leaving or recovering from a relationship with a narcissistic or manipulative partner, please make sure your therapist is deeply trauma-informed and understands the dynamics of coercive control and narcissistic abuse. Trust your gut!!! If something feels off, it probably is. Lisa assured me after I complained she would change things and take swift action, but I still fear for others who may experience this. What action would she take? How can this be prevented? Something horrible could have happened to a more fragile person. Maybe this review will save a life. Maybe Lisa did take me seriously and take action and make sure that will never happen again. But I can't risk it. I hope someone reading this will get some support from this and make sure they understand that not all therapists are skilled to handle narcissists or trauma. 1 star because Lisa did call me to apologize, she was very nice and helpful and told me she understood. (Fast forward a week I'm updating this to alert others she actually manipulated me and made promises that were not genuine. She was only trying to save her business and didn't care about me. She even sent me a ChatGPT response in her first response of my complaint and I let that go thinking maybe she was tired but now I see she didn't actually care.) I just can't not warn others...something was a miss here, and it could have ended in a very different way for someone else. Most victims of narcissists end up harming themselves because no one believes them. I will say this therapist is lucky I have another therapist outside of her and lucky that I realized what my narcissistic ex had done to her. She was so easily influenced by him, a hard lesson to learn, and luckily nothing tragic happened as a result of this manipulation taking over. Thank you for reading I hope you ask a lot of questions before booking, be very careful and make sure the therapist can pivot if needed, and make sure the therapist is a good fit first. Trust your gut.
