I am overwhelmed by positive thoughts and feelings toward Dr. Harris and the Ketamine Infusion…read moreClinic. The experience has literally transformed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I finished the two week Intensive Treatment Program and, for the first time in 12 plus years, I truly feel "free". Prior to arriving at the clinic I had struggled with extreme alcoholism for more than a decade. I had been through almost all of the various rehab programs available in Los Angeles; worked with numerous therapists; undergone many detoxes and attempted to become sober innumerable times. None of these methods dealt with the underlying causes of my addiction or provided any lasting relief from the obsessive compulsive thoughts and physical cravings that plagued me. At that point in my life I was mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted; hopeless; and seriously believed I would be unable to break the cycle. Dr. Harris made me feel like I was being listened to as opposed to judged during our initial consultation. He is well educated on the subject matter of addiction; compassionate and clearly possesses a gift for helping those suffering from addiction. One thing that really impressed me about Dr. Harris was the manner in which he guided each of us through the infusions. He created a sense of calmness and safety that enabled me to confront some long buried painful memories and emotions while experiencing the infusions. Both during the infusion process and after each infusion, I felt completely supported and afterwards experienced a degree of mental clarity and emotional release that I'm still trying to comprehend. My desire for alcohol is gone (not reduced but gone). For the first time in years, I feel like I have mental clarity. I feel light; present; motivated; and hopeful once again. It's as if years of emotional pain, anxiety, and negative thought patterns were finally disrupted in a manner that no traditional rehabilitation program was able to provide for me. In addition, I want to express my gratitude towards both of the nurses that assisted me during my stay at the clinic, Ronna and Alisa. They were an absolute asset to this team and demonstrated incredible compassion during the entirety of my treatment. They provided support for me prior to each infusion (in terms of calming my nerves), after each infusion (when I was dealing with emotional responses) and consistently provided encouragement throughout the entire duration of my stay at the clinic. Their ability to demonstrate compassion contributed greatly to my healing process. While this clinic offers a high quality medical/therapeutic treatment option, it is comprised of individuals who truly care about providing opportunities for their patients to achieve emotional and mental health recovery. If you're experiencing any form of substance use disorder; depression; anxiety; or trauma; or feel like you've tried everything else without finding success, then you owe it to yourself to explore the treatment options available at this clinic. I'm confident when saying this experience changed the direction of my life, and I'll be eternally grateful to Dr. Harris, Ronna, and Alisa for enabling me to find true peace and freedom.

I don't even know how to explain this without sounding dramatic but NeuroRelief in Sherman Oaks…read moregenuinely changed my life! I did six ketamine sessions and something just shifted in me in a way I didn't think was possible, like things finally got quiet for the first time in years. I've dealt with really bad anxiety, PTSD, and alcoholism for a long time and nothing has touched it like this, my baseline used to feel like a constant 15 from the second I woke up to the second I went to sleep and now I'm at like a 7, which is actually insane to me, not perfect but way more manageable and I don't feel trapped in my own head the same way. The care here is on another level, nothing felt rushed or generic, every single session felt like it was actually about me and what I needed, I always felt safe and taken care of the entire time. The place itself is calm, clean, and just feels good to be in, and the nurses and everyone working there are literally the sweetest people ever, like genuinely kind humans but still super professional. Dr. Harris is a huge part of why this place is so special, he's obviously very educated and knows exactly what he's doing but more than that he actually gets it, he listens, he doesn't rush you, and you never feel like just another patient or a number, you feel important and seen and like your experience actually matters, it really feels like he cares and you don't find that everywhere. Also the integration coaching was everything, my coach Jenny Thompson was incredible, I've been in therapy my whole life and she's hands down one of the best I've ever worked with, she helped me actually understand and process everything so it wasn't just temporary, I feel like people are really misinformed about ketamine therapy but from my experience it works, it's not some magic cure but it can seriously shift something deep if you're open to it and have the right support. I loved every minute of this experience and I would recommend NeuroRelief to anyone, 10/10 no question!!

For someone with such experience and expertise, she's extremely down-to-earth and approachable. I came to Dr. Vause at a time of change in my life (at work, with family, and in my relationships), and my stress was surging. My depression and anxiety levels were becoming hard to manage, and I was turning to drugs and alcohol to cope. Dr. Vause helped me get through it. In addition to counseling, she guided me through some challenging but needed adjustments to my medication regimen. Every med suggestion was explained clearly, Dr. Vause answered all of my questions, and I knew what to expect in terms of effects and side-effects. I never felt as if pills were just being pushed my way; she really wanted me to participate in my own treatment and understand her reasoning. In addition to the excellent medication recommendations and adjustments, she is a wonderful therapist. Since seeing her, I have felt much better, and have experienced real improvements in my life. Her combination of innate sensitivity, compassion, and deep medical expertise is quite rare. I feel completely comfortable and secure in this relationship, and am fortunate to have found this exceptional doctor. I know I am cared for as a whole person, not just a bundle of problems, and there's nothing I hesitate to talk to Dr. Vause about. Having her in my life is itself therapeutic and a source of strength for me. Thank you Dr. Vause!

I asked for a referral (virtually every doctor has at least one other doctor they refer patients to) but she had NONE. She seemed completely unapologetic and I felt like I was simply wasting her time and she just wanted me to hang up. Obviously since she has no openings for new clients there is no harm to her business by posting this...only saving others from wasting their time. I am suicidal and need a doctor asap. But I don't need a doctor that lacks compassion and has no interest to help unless you happen to be an existing patient.

It started when my daughter wouldn't sleep through the night, so I never got back to sleep. Kaiser had given me this wonderful sleeping pill telling me it was not addictive!( yeah right!) 15 years later I am still taking them. Anyway its time to get off of them. Dr LeBas seemed knowledgeable at first. She explained how bad they were, but I already knew this from research i did. We are cutting my dose in half, and hoping it wont be to hard to get off them. Note to anyone, do not take sleeping pills anything past 8 weeks, they are highly addictive, and hard to get off! I will see her again next week, to see how I did with the lower dose. Wish me luck! :) Went today for my follow up, 9/22/14. I explained to Dr that I did not take the Depakote, as I will not take unnecessary drugs for something I do not have! She got upset and said she will no longer treat me, and I need to go elsewhere! I read such horrible things about Depakote on the manufacturers website. If someone just needs to get off their sleeping pill, they do not need a pill for manic depression! Really????? I was there for 5 mins, then asked to leave her office! Many Dr's care about making money and keeping you on drugs. I found a wonderful Dr that afternoon, willing to wean me off the way I was already doing it. with no adders. She is cruel and heartless. BEWARE!

ZERO stars for this woman. I've held off on writing a review about Dr.Lebas for months now but…read moretoday really sent me over the edge. I STRONGLY encourage anyone who is looking for a psychiatrist, to look elsewhere. Someone else mentioned that she really doesn't care about her patients and it's true. This is a person who is only in this for the money and could care less about the people under her care. It blows my mind that someone like this is allowed to practice medicine, let alone help people with mental illness. Trust me when I tell you that there are far better qualified, caring people who are passionate about psychiatry. Go find one of them. I refuse to return and give her anymore of my money and time. Yes she prescribed me my medication, but anyone can do that. Today I called ahead and let the receptionist know that I needed to come in because I would be flying with my Emotional Support Animal. The airline requests documentation from my psychiatrist saying that I am currently under their care and have been diagnosed with a mental illness that is listed in the DSM. The receptionist made the appointment and told me to come in. When I showed up for my appointment, Dr.Lebas looked at me and said, "I don't do that." You're telling me you can't put on a piece of paper that you're my doctor and that I have indeed been diagnosed with a mental illness? I demanded a refund on my co-pay (thankfully I got my money back) and left. When I asked her why she wouldn't do this for me, she had no real reason. Was I asking her to do anything illegal? No. Was I asking her to pretend that I was blind and I had a seeing eye dog? No. I have a mental illness and having my corgi with me helps me in social situations and my overall daily life. She even went as far as to suggest I get some random Doctor online to do it for me!!!! What?! Hahaha I've also had plenty of issues with refills not being able to be processed because she can't come to the phone or she claims she didn't give me a refill so that I'll have to come back and throw another bunch of cash at her. Nope. RUN FAR AWAY from this office. She needs to retire because she obviously doesn't care about helping people.

I ended up here and I am glad I did! After a few short months of seeing Dr. Naim, I was fine. More…read morethan fine actually. And it's now been a year! I dealt with anxiety for years off and on. I went on and off medication. I spent years seeing therapists. So many ups and downs. One day the anxiety escalated tremendously to the point where I couldn't sleep. I was seriously spiraling out of control and couldn't even work. My usual psychiatrist couldn't see me for 3 months. I know had I gotten into see him, it would just be a 20 minute appointment and more medication. My primary care doctor put me on Xanax and Ambien as a temporary fix. It was like putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. A trusted friend recommended Hope Psychiatry and said there was no one better. When I called and explained my situation, I was seen within 24 hours. The intake paperwork is extremely thorough, more thorough than anything I've ever seen. They do not take insurance and I've come to discover that the people that are really good typically do not take insurance. At our first meeting, I started rambling and would have gone on for hours. Dr. Naim stopped me after 20 minutes and said he knew exactly what the issue was and how to resolve it. He said when he was done with me my issues would be gone. He slowly transitioned me off of the Xanax and Ambien. He is not anti-medication. I used an herbal tea to sleep and he prescribed something else that was non-habit forming for use as needed. He said the goal was for me not to need medication anymore but if I did need it, he would prescribe it. Fast forward a month, it was challenging to go through everything with him. At one point things were pretty bad and he said it was the last gasp of my issues getting out. Turned out, he was right. I started improving every week. About 3 months after first seeing him, I was done. It's now been one year. I've had no relapses. I have no anxiety. I'm having to deal with more challenging situations in life but it doesn't affect me anymore. I have a great perspective and I'm all better. I know I'm able to tackle just about anything. I've also been off the medication for a year now. So instead of just masking my problems, he actually addressed my issues. What a concept. Dr. Naim and his staff are incredibly kind. I just wish I hadn't spent years and years wasting my time trying to get help elsewhere. He was able to resolve my issues so quickly and completely. Highly recommended!
