This review is long overdue. I have such a deep gratitude for the work of John as he worked…read more(virtually) with my son during school closures. I reached out when I felt our son needed someone to talk to about his feelings as he was separated from friends and sports, and overwhelmed with online learning. John was absolutely the best! Since John works with kids, he had a program suited for the pre-teen age group and their emotional needs/communication that didn't feel "childish" to my 10 y/o. After about 2 weeks (1 session a week) , our family dynamic changed for the better. And the next time we saw family, they commented on my son's maturity and communication style being leaps beyond previous encounters. As parents we want to be able to provide everything our kids need, but leaning on a caring outsider like John to provide guidance felt like we invested in our child's well being for life.!

Kristen at Sage Therapy is amazing!!! She has helped me through a very difficult time in my life…read more Taught me how to set boundaries and take my life in my own hands. She is compassionate and caring but at the same time will tell you hard truths about how to make positive changes in your own bad behavior. She is not a therapist that will just tell you exactly what you want to hear. She gave me specific things to work on in helping change my own behavior.

I had a number of counseling sessions with Randi Devine because I was going through a divorce…read more When I felt ready, and decided I didn't need counseling anymore she tagged on a bunch of extra fees for my sessions clearly because she felt like she needed the extra money. I don't recommend her for counseling because she has made me feel like I've been robbed. I didn't have the emotional capacity to care about it at the time because I was going through a divorce, but I feel completely taken advantage of, and I certainly don't recommend her to anyone who needs help. I paid for every session in full, but somehow I still had a bill of $130 left over at the end. I was told there was a cancelation fee of $40 which is a scam in the first place, but there was no explanation of where the rest of the bill was coming from. Maybe she decided to change the price for sessions after we already had the sessions? I highly doubt that I'm the only one that has been ripped off by Randi, but I can see I'm the only one to yelp about it so far. Don't make the same mistake I did. Find counseling somewhere else.

I can't say enough good things about Active Healing in Oceanside. From the moment I walked in, the…read moreenvironment was calm, welcoming, and professional. The staff genuinely cares about your well-being, not just rushing you in and out like so many places do. The practitioner took the time to actually listen to my concerns, explain what was going on with my body, and tailor the session specifically to what I needed. Nothing felt cookie-cutter. The work itself was incredibly effective -- targeted, knowledgeable, and clearly done by someone who understands how the body really functions. I walked out feeling noticeably better, with improved mobility and relief that lasted well beyond the session. You can tell this place focuses on real healing, not temporary fixes. If you're dealing with pain, tightness, stress, or just want to take better care of your body, Active Healing is absolutely worth it. This is now my go-to spot in North County, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know. Highly, highly recommend.

From the owner: Focused Trauma Care for Veterans, Military, First Responders & Their Families…read more At ActivHealing Treatment Center, we recognize that healing from trauma—especially the kind carried by veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families—is rarely a linear journey. You may find yourself in a place where weekly outpatient therapy no longer feels sufficient to address the depth of your symptoms, but committing to a 24/7 residential treatment facility may not be necessary, feasible, or aligned with your current life circumstances. That’s exactly why we designed our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)—to meet individuals where they are in their recovery process, offering a higher level of support and structure without removing them entirely from their families, communities, or daily lives. Our PHP provides a comprehensive, trauma-informed treatment experience during the day, allowing you to return home in the evenings to continue practicing new skills in real-world settings. It’s a powerful option for individuals who need more than talk therapy—a healing space that integrates clinical care, nervous system regulation, peer connection, and holistic modalities that promote long-term change.
