The billing dept. was fine. The intake was exceptionally weird. That lady was a total weirdo who needs to see a psychiatrist. There are many people who need to see a psychologist not be one . One of the "psychologists " was gossiping to his boss about my problems; I never knew that , he never said that, until I got a surprise! My boss , he said, that we can't continue our sessions with you because xyz. And cut me loose. These people are losers and baffling that they are in this profession.

It's been...like 2 years since I've dropped out of A.P.F.C…read more When I first came here was for a recommendation from my High School back in Freshman year. My Principal told me I needed help since my depression was going haywire and not under controlled since it was effecting my school life and grades. My mom thought I was sick so she wanted me to try it out. So I did. I had two therapist there. One was for a few months or a year? She didn't help much, then again I can't really express how I feel and it's really difficult to talk about my situation and problems when they've don't understand where I'm coming from. So I requested another therapist, her name was Christine. I've been with her for 2 years?? Also didn't help. No matter how many times nothing worked. So then I dropped out of this place and yrs later I dropped out of High school from all the moving. I'd give this place a 5 star if they had Art therapy. I've usually express stuff with Art. Other then these negative experiences I've had with this place, The workers are nice, the place are clean and fresh, I'm sure the workers and staff helped many people or are trying too. They do games and sometimes even save up to take the kids and their clients to a field trip. If you think that therapy won't help you then don't bother. But If you think that it will or might then come to this place. Good luck.

IF ASIAN PACIFIC FAMILY CENTER ACCEPTS MEDICAL ONLY LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CALLED…read more A woman Mrs. Lin called me today around 7 pm. Asked me my insurance information, just one minute she hung up and said she has important call. After few minutes she called again, but the phone got disconnected without any reasons. Same thing happened again and again. Then she claimed they cannot see me because I have no Medical, although I have Medicare and Blue Shield. Then she said she will refer me to another place that accepted Medicare, and the phone got disconnected and she never called me back. They got government fund, that is tax payers money, I paid tax about fifty years, and that is what I got from them.

This place is still in service. Yelp is not updated with their business information…read more F@ck These People. So sad that this place has a group of so called licensed professionals when all they do is make your problem worse. They didn't help me AT ALL. I specifically told them(him) what I wanted and the f@ckin blood sucker only wanted to milk and charge my insurance. I won't mention his name, but if he sees this he will know who I'm talking about. If they ever offer me for extended "helps for free" out of guilt due to this review I guess I'll take the opportunity to tell them to go to hell. *I feel better now. Thanks, Yelp*

Doors stated that patient privacy was most important and was taken in a room that had "Private" written on it yet I was suppose to confide in someone with the door wide open and her clerk in the room a few steps away. Her clerk was then asked to step in and voice their opinion on my case as if it was no big deal to let everyone else know what I spoke about. I am moving out of state and was reaching for professional help to get the feel of it and see if I'd pursue some form of counseling out there, I was then asked if I expected a miracle. So rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. No I didn't expect a miracle I simply wanted to vent and as that was my response I was asked if I didn't have friends. Maybe these are questions that should be asked but not in such tones. At the end of your day you're taking my money to listen and not be so judgmental. Maybe my issue wasn't a big deal to her but I can only imagine what other cases of seriousness she simply blows off. I really hope you took the time to read this all because the last thing I would like to know is that someone reached for help here and had a bad experience seeking it and is now boxing themselves in thinking counseling is a horrible idea, it shouldn't be this way.

My girl has been taking her anger management classes here at the El Monte location. The good side…read moreis that they offer 2 classes per week and the classes are 2 hours each. She was able to get permission from the judge to take 4 hours each week so that she could complete her requirement ASAP. Oh and they only charge $10/hour, so that is a huge help for us since money is tight and she's not working... The bad side is that the Saturday class is facilitated by interns and one of the interns is a completely clueless fool trying to advise grown ass women. Even the Director is often cranky showing a negative attitude.

At these critical periods of trying to find themselves and develop into who they envision themselves to be, it is pertinent to their growth and well-being that any unresolved issues be addressed now! This will allow them the opportunity to grow and blossom to become the best version of themselves that they can be in the present and in the future. I help my clients take a deeper look into the core of what is impacting them, collaborate with them to explore what they would like to change or maintain in their lives, and work with them to gain the tools that they need to work through past and/or current issues that are negatively impacting them. I meet my clients where they're at emotionally and provide them with support and empathy, while also adequately challenging them to see any areas in which they may be able to modify to improve their relationships and their lives.​
