I first reached out to Adina in November 2020, while I was in the thick of a depressive episode. I…read moredidn't realize how much I needed therapy at the time, and I was a bit skeptical of talk therapy in general, but after a couple sessions with Adina, I became convinced that this was exactly what I needed. Adina is an amazing therapist and is really great at asking the right questions to help me identify my thought patterns and where they came from. She listens with compassion and empathy. I came to her with a dismissive attitude towards myself and my own emotional well-being, but she was able to help me understand that I deserve love and that my feelings deserve to be heard. She is also incredibly knowledgeable in her field, and I ended up learning quite a bit about psychology just from our conversations about how my mind worked. I ended almost every session feeling inspired and having learned a little bit more about myself. Working with Adina is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy or support during difficult times.

As my 11 year marriage was crumbling, I first tried three other therapists (who weren't a match for me) who were recommended to me personally before I turned to Yelp and found Adina. I sought a therapist who was experienced enough to help me greatly and yet young enough (close to my age, I think) who I could relate to comfortably. Adina was exactly the therapist I needed to find perspective, clarity, and support. I give her the highest possible recommendation.

I can't say enough good things about Shellie- not only is she an intuitive therapist, but she's a wise and wonderful human being!

I was thinking about my life today, married for 33 years and have 2 children. Very happily married…read moreby my and my wife's account. If my wife followed Deborah's advise we would be divorced and not had our son. Most of our issues were with our very similar alcoholic parents. My wife was in a women's group with Deborah as well. I joking called it the we hate men group as when my wife came home from this group I wondered what I had done this time? Our first couple sessions with Deborah were normal, talking about what we thought was going on lasting about 45 minutes. The last session, Deborah ripped into me for an hour and 15 minutes. I was to blame for everything. Alcoholic, druggie for smoking pot. An alcoholic when I had been in Ala-non for 6 years already? On the way home my wife tells me that Deborah has recommended that she should divorce me and I should be checked into a rehab facility. I said, if that is how you feel, let's get a divorce and I meant it. She doesn't want to get a divorce and we went to another counselor. After a few sessions, the new counselor gave my wife a homework assignment, how many of the women in this group were married, not interested in men or in a happy marriage. Next session she reports that no one is in a happy marriage, most not interested in men and one was separated from her husband. The therapist says she thinks my wife should find a new counselor and stop going to this group. A few weeks later the counselor tells my wife if she does not stop going to this group and go to another counselor that she would recommend to me to move on. She said she sees allot of women in late forties to early fifties that determine through counseling that their husband is an alcoholic and divorces them. Only to find out that their husbands fair much better. That many of these women do not remarry and end up with financial issues. As soon as she started counseling with another lady and stopped the women's group we moved forward to a better marriage. My point is, how many marriages were destroyed because of her bad advise? How many individuals are wondering where they are now or could have been if had not come to such a hasty conclusion? How did they fair financially? I say a prayer everyday for my wife and son being in my life. It is an inside job, do the work first before you make big changes.

Meh. I remember this therapist in my shopping, and there's better options, hopefully still. I think…read moreshe does well with lightweights (ie where the initials 'MFT' come from) but complex cases will stump her. She has "analyst voice," sort of a pretension from 70s movies that somebody might find annoying. Also forgot simple but critical fundamental details about my life a little too frequently. Generally a mismatch, but what troubled me was that she didn't see the discord herself--which makes me believe she is not that insightful. A bit reluctant to leave a review here with my real name but think it's important, given the branding and self-promotion going on here, that others know what they might be getting into. Bottom line: okay for couples counseling or the odd startup employee dealing with mild depression or what have you. Short term coaching, maybe. Serious mental illness? Not likely. Given the lack of good therapists on insurance panels, you might be better off with a trained psychologist for counseling.

But, when my rheumatologist Dr. Amy Kehl recently moved from Mountain View to the Los Angeles area - I was moved to write something. She is by far the best doctor I've ever had. I know, I said I wouldn't be hyperbolic. And I am not. I would literally thoroughly enjoy every doctor visit with her. They were more akin to seeing a close family friend who actively listened and cared very much about my health and well being. She was incredibly knowledgeable in her field and provided advice and treatment that was beyond "just keep taking your medicine". All my other doctors are fine. I'm sure they're fine. Maybe they are even good. Who knows? Dr. Kehl has ruined the curve because she is the best. I know I shouldn't be be selfish. She is now doing research and actively advancing the science behind the treatment in Rheumatology. But I can't help but be a little jealous of all the folks in Southern California who now can locate and discover the best rheumatologist/family friend one could ever hope to find.

If you're depressed and unmotivated, having assignments you can't make yourself do may just add to your depression. (Read those Amazon reviews!) Be prepared for "that makes me feel / how do you feel about" discourse that borders on cliche or condescension.
