I've been a client of Sanctuary by the Sea for over a year and a half, and I highly recommend the…read moreservice to anyone interested in adding help and support to their life. For me, it's been a worthwhile investment. I'd seen other therapists in years prior, and while I appreciated how valuable the process could be, I never truly felt that I could be my authentic self in session. And when you can't be wholly honest and comfortable with a therapist, it's not going to work out. That changed when I started working with Crystal. My life has changed greatly and positively in the past 18 months. Our therapeutic relationship has played a big role in my growth. Crystal has a lot to offer beyond her educational, training and service experience. Of course credentials are important, but for me the most significant quality I was seeking out was someone with whom I felt comfortable and ... real, for lack of a better word. She is one of the most empathic, warm and accepting people I know, and her ability to support you just as you are, in whatever stage of life you find yourself, is really powerful. My perspective on life - and on myself - changed when I realized that I had guidance from someone who did not judge me or require me to be anything other than who I am. Likewise, I've learned of the importance of human connection and love. My relationships have improved because of this. Not because of any sweeping changes I made, but because I learned how to communicate better. And it's gone a long way. Crystal's specialties are working with trauma, eating disorders, anxiety and LGBT identity, among others, and I can attest to how helpful her approaches have been. We tried a few different modalities and settled on the ones that work for how I think. Therapy is like having a coach help navigate through life, both the stresses and the successes. I believe it's something than can help anyone, and it's not just for 'crazy people' ... though I admit I held that belief for years before I realized that I was wrong. I very highly recommend Sanctuary by the Sea for therapy and counseling. You'll be working with someone who has found her purpose in life, and that's a cool thing to be a part of and to benefit from. I undoubtedly have. I hope you do too.

I have been seeing Crystal for almost a year now. She is compassionate as can be and so…read moreintelligent. She has so much knowledge about different approaches to therapy and is constantly learning new approaches as well as reading up on new studies that help benefit our sessions. I've learned so much from her which helps me to have compassion for myself so that I can continue to grow. She also has a great personality and is so caring and funny and sensitive to my feelings. She is easy to open up to because she never judges me. She makes therapy exciting instead of something to fear. We have a lot of sessions on the beach, at parks, and in coffee shops which calms me down and helps me open up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a new therapist. She is so relatable and down-to-earth. You won't regret it!

The initial caregiver checked that my insurance worked, was very nice, as was the nurse…read morepractitioner who interviewed me. After a couple of days waiting and a couple of hours of interviews, forms galore, and new medications from this office, I received a TEXT. I've attached the TEXT so you can decide for yourself if you agree that it wasn't an appropriate way to end therapy. A phone call to end therapy seems more appropriate to me and at least the option to pay out of pocket. When I called, they gave me referrals to practitioners that don't even offer TMS. Fortunately one of the psychologists referred me to Dr Wycoff and Dr Hubbard. TMS has been life-changing, literally. "Hi K! This is .... from Del Mar Brain and TMS. I just wanted to let you know that I checked with your insurance again and unfortunatley our clinic specifically is out of network for your insurance plan. I know you had your intake with K, and she recommended therapy and another medication trial. Luckily, the TMS eligibility requirements are standard, and this will likely be the same recommendation from other clinics. Here is a list of a few other TMS clinics in the area. So sorry about the inconvenience. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns."

And I know doctors (6 years, 5 chronic health conditions, 3 which directly contribute to depression). But that's what's great about him. Most doctors will not perform a battery of psychological tests before starting treatment. Most doctors will not try TMS and other cutting-edge NON-PHARMA treatments before busting out the prescription pad. Most doctors will reduce you to a diagnosis and forget to see the person behind it. Most doctors are not constantly learning about the latest treatments, research and YOU. Most doctors truly don't think outside the box. But then most doctors don't care for their patients the way Dr B does. There's hope. Give it a try. And plus the STAFF is as wonderful as he is. PS: He's like a mad scientist and his office reminds me of Sherlock's sanctum sanctorum but lean into it!

I couldn't be more pleased with the care provided by the team. Once we realized that my Dad's…read morehealth needs had shifted, we acknowledged hospice was the next step in his journey. The VA suggested a few partners and we landed with the most amazing team. Brandy and Jose were our two primary nursing providers. They were both incredibly patient and respectful with my Dad. They did a great job explaining what they were doing and why. They frequently checked in (in person, text, and calls) asking for status updates. If supplies or medication was needed, it would be delivered, in some cases couriered in a couple hours. Additionally, they did an incredible job supporting the rest of the family. Asking how I was doing, was I giving myself permission for self care, and more. They made it possible for me to juggle working and family without doubt. We also had a fabulous support team with Lisa and Beverly who walked us through so many technical questions - who to contact for additional caregiver hours, questions regarding estate and banking info, VA bottlenecks, mortuary and service information, and so much more. Every person on our Uni Care team went above and beyond. Each person was so incredibly talented in their roles. They were so instrumental in making my Dad's end safe, dignified, and peaceful. I will be forever grateful for all their support. If you are in a position where you need hospice care for a loved one, I will recommend this team every time.

Ms. Ifah is our therapist for ABA, and I cant tell you enough of how impressed and satisfied of her…read moreservices to our child. She has been with us for a year now. She has a deep empathy and is extremely paitient with our family. She makes it work for our child and family to meet with her on a weekly basis and sometime my schedule changes so much but she always makes it work so that we can see her. In the begining we were not sure about aba therapy we had it during covid and it was only through zoom at the time but because of her services we have continued therapy. She focuses on positive reinforcements and encourages progress, she includes not just our child and involves my whole household to engage with our child. She is collaborative and has excellent communication skills. Whenever I feel that my child cannot complete certain milestones she works however long it takes to make sure our family can function together. She was even so nice to create an animal that our daughter is highly focused and in love with that she sleeps with it every night. Thank you Ms. Ifah and I hope everyone that is thinking of ABA will consider her service as she is the real deal!

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable therapist.
