She merges her compassionate understanding of value of effective communication strategies and keen level of attentive listening to help craft a new approach. As with any new path, the desire to fall back into old routines is common but she offers a firm hand of support to guide you back on course and if necessary, will help you not overlook the thinking process that caused the regression. She is also a woman that can actually understand not only a woman's perspective, but a male's viewpoint as well. This, in turn, has definitetly fosters a level of trust necessary to follow her guidance. Lisa is exactly what a therapist should be to help a person grow and become a better person.

I got an intake…read moreappointment the same day I called and the first available in person appointment with a provider in under a week, plus a 7 day temp prescription to hold me over. Every single person affiliated with this group has treated me with the most kindness, dignity, efficiency, and expediency. I didn't know what to think of this group at first but I'm so happy I made the call. This is the best experience I've had with a Dr in a long time, especially for the types of medication I'm on, where there is all too frequently a negative stigma. Plus they take all my insurance!! Forget cash only clinics y'all - eff that. We deserve better. Elite DNA Behavioral will match you up with the provider closest to you that accepts your insurance and can best assist you. I wish I could give this review ten stars. It means a lot to find healthcare providers that treat MAT patients like human beings and not criminals. I am so grateful for all the staff in Venice who have been so kind to me. I am looking forward to the quality of care that I'm getting and to having help to live my best, healthiest life.

My partner and I were seeking counseling and made contact with Gail. Initially she seemed…read morewonderful. Then we had our first session. Gail perpetually interrupted my partner and myself, attempting to complete our sentences, talking over us, and generally talking more about herself than we had the opportunity to talk about our relationship. At every opportunity, mid sentence Gail would comment how she too has experienced X,Y, and Z. Gail made insulting assumptions about my character, my education based on information I shared with her. She will talk over you, she will not let you complete your thoughts or sentences. It makes it very difficult to address couples issues when the therapist won't let you complete a thought and insert their own narrative, instead of listening to the story of your relationship to move forward in a better direction. Update 2/23/2025: I have not seen Gail or been in contact with her since our initial appointment on January 25th. However she called me on February 20th emphasizing that she was "disgusted in me as a human being." Then proceeded to explain how her years of experience and credentials certainly make her a great therapist. She went on to state how upset she was that I gave her a one star review. She concluded the message by stating "You are in trouble by the way!" In a threatening tone It is considered inappropriate, unprofessional but more importantly highly unethical for a therapist to contact past clients for personal reasons such as leaving a poor review Here's a photo of the transcript of the VM it's not perfect but you'll get the gist

I went for my first appointment, to get started, and the doctor was not empathetic, and refused to prescribe anything for me. They could not review my chart because their internet was down. I was treated like an addict. The staff were all lovely, but I am very disappointed with the doctor. He ordered an MRI, which I'm waiting to have scheduled. I've never had withdrawals, but I'm terrified. He walked out whole I was talking to him. I am hoping this gets addressed quickly. I've had ablations, multiple ESI'S and surgeries, therapy over the years. They help, but only in conjunction with my meds. Very disappointed. I hope this works out before I become sick! Cindy Elko

I commend my main therapists I work with Catherine and Danielle. I was also impressed with Mary and Lee I worked with occasionally. The team's knowledge and professionalism were evident in every session, but what stood out even more was their kindness and patience. They took the time to explain each step of my recovery, tailored the therapy to my specific needs, and consistently motivated me. Thanks to their dedication, I regained strength, confidence, and mobility far sooner than I expected. I am deeply grateful for their care and would highly recommend Danielle, Catherine, Mary and Lee to anyone in need of physical therapy. They truly make a difference. I'd like to mention lovely Amy, at the desk, cheerful, kind and friendly, who meets every patient walking in. With professionalism Amy tried to accommodate when I had to change my schedule.

I recently had a health emergency for which a trip to the emergency room resulted in nothing. No care, no prescription, no relief, no diagnosis and inadequate testing. I went to see Dr. Bakus as a walk in the next day and was diagnosed and treated within hours despite it being a holiday weekend. She has stayed on top of the situation. I appreciate the whole spectrum of medicine practiced from modern, to Eastern and in between. Dr. Bakus is thorough, caring and empathetic. Her staff is equally wonderful. They greet you with caring and always remember your situation. The facilities are always immaculate. If I could give a 10 star rating I would.

I told him, "What happens if someone is in crisis?" He responded, "Sir, if you don't like it, go somewhere else!" I told him he was very rude and an asshole." He asked if I was yelling at him....I told him "Yes, and you can hang up now." He complied and hung up. If you need therapy, I recommend you DO NOT contact this office.
