Not only did she address my basic questions that we all have when looking at therapy options for the first time but she actually took time to talk to me and listen to me probably more than she should have about my issues in my relationship. She even asked questions. I felt heard and engaged with and for as brief as it was, it was like a breath of fresh air. I don't usually write reviews, but for someone who took time to listen when they had really no obligation to, I just had to. Highly recommend considering if you are looking at options. Hopefully maybe soon my partner and I can book a session.

I'm so so so grateful to have found Rochelle! Several months ago, I hit an emotional rock bottom…read moreand was desperate to find some sort of reprieve. I had never gone to therapy before but it was something I always wanted to try. I found her through Yelp and was impressed with the reviews and called her for a consultation. She was warm and personable and asked some questions to see if she felt she could help me. Once she determined she could, she set up a weekly time that worked with my schedule. Through my sessions, I gained so much understanding into connecting with my inner self. I had already spent a lot of time dwelling on my childhood emotional traumas and I had felt like I had a good grasp of my emotional patterns. I just hadn't figured out how to heal from them. Her first hypnotherapy session (which I would describe as a guided meditation) was a profound experience for me. She helped me connect visually with the concept of "self love", something I struggled with my whole life. I'm so grateful for the experience, and she was such an incredible emotional support through a very difficult period of time in my life. She helped me maintain healthy coping habits and to deal with hard times gracefully and in a way I feel proud of looking back. She is a wonderful and authentic healer and I highly recommend her!

She's also a hilarious and truly unique character (at least in my opinion). Anyone who has a chance to work with Suzanne or her DBT practice should count themselves lucky -- I know that I do. Every single day, I am thankful for her and for DBT entering my life, I genuinely have no idea where I would be without them. I worked with her for just over a solid year. I was a mess and the work was hard, but she was patient, firm, and compassionate. In every interaction, I knew that I was working with someone who has helped countless others, including her own self. Suzanne cares deeply about everyone she helps, she will make time for you when you need it most, and she will never, ever lie to or B.S with you. She also has countless epic stories from the many fascinating eras of her life! Being one of the foremost DBT clinicians in the country, Suzanne has limited space, but I would highly recommend any of the therapists in her practice and I could go on for DAYS about the skills groups that they offer -- I truly believe that peer support changes lives like nothing else and this is the most well-run support group I have ever been in. After I became more stable and graduated from skills group, I realized that I was getting in a rut with Suzanne. This was not her fault, it was because of some previous trauma that I have around psychiatry and clinicians in general (like many of Suzanne's clients she was **far** from my first therapist). I decided to see a different clinician in So-Cal DBT's practice whom I adore, and we have been able to build incredibly on the stable foundation that Suzanne helped me get to. I would strongly recommend Suzanne to anyone with substance issues, I am personally not sober but hearing her own story and also watching her help people in a group setting, I think that she is particularly helpful with that. Be sure to ask her about her purse collection ;)

I never thought I could control my emotions, and wasn't even aware of them, until after this program. My private therapist, Ruth Avalos, was one of the best therapists I've ever had and did an exceptional job. Other amazing therapists there are Sarah, Danielle, Ruby, Sofia, and Patty. All absolutely phenomenal, Suzanne included. There is no DBT clinic anywhere in the area, if anywhere at all, better than this one. There group classes are amazing, the environment very supportive of one another, and very thorough. They also have great phone coaching at a moments notice, that got me through so many difficult moments I would not have survived otherwise. Thank you Suzanne and Wallach and her team. I highly recommend this place.

I left a review for this company a few months back and realized most of my frustration was with…read morereceiving ineffective medication from the pharmacy due to the Adderall shortage and not Millennium Medical Associates. Upon my journey through America's weird mental health system, my new psychiatrist prescribed me Wellbutrin, which is for depression, although she mentioned it works for ADHD. Completely false, I only took it for one day and felt like I had the worst anxiety and just slept all day. Luckily, I returned the medication to the pharmacy so they can properly dispose of it. Tried speaking to the same psychiatrist and she doesn't believe in stimulants. She says they're bad for your body. However; ever since I've been on Adderall with Millennium Medical Associates, my life has gotten significantly better. Paying bills on time, quiet mind, emotional regulation, etc. My body has been fine too. Blood pressure normal, no side effects (even if I take it later in the day, which I tend to do). Fast forward now, looking back I feel Millennium Medical Associates actually listens to their clients despite what I previously thought. Booking an appointment with their psychiatrist was way easier than the other one and speaking to their psychiatrist actually involved them listening. My other one, let me speak for like a few seconds and said I have depression...but I thought you said the Wellbutrin works for ADHD like what lol. Now that I've seen for myself America's health care system, I definitely recommend Millennium Medical Associates. Sure it's not in person, but it doesn't matter if the professional isn't actually gonna listen to you. Their support team responds within business hours vs my other psychiatrist office barely picked up the phone. Anywho, give 'em try and don't do what I did. Save yourself the stress.

I met with Lara Lindsey on 03/04, and I can honestly say she is one of the most exceptional…read moreproviders I have ever worked with. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable, and she brings such an affirming, compassionate, and genuinely uplifting energy to every interaction. I was truly blown away by how thorough and thoughtful she was in her assessment, taking the time to fully understand me in a way that felt both validating and empowering. It is so clear that her heart is in this work and that her top priority is truly the well being of her patients. I left our session with clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of gratitude for having found her. Lara is an absolute gift to this field, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. MMA as a whole reflects that same level of care and integrity, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking support to reach out to them.

I've even made lifelong friendships through the process. I highly recommend CAST Centers to anyone ready to make real changes in their life. ‍

I fell into a major depression in my late 50s. My parents had died, I was afraid of the future,…read morestruggling with the lack of challenging work at my age, and realizing I had never really dealt with some childhood and early adult trauma. I tried Jungian analysis--cool, interesting, even fun, but it didn't help. I tried Transcendental Meditation--I tried pretty much anything I thought might get me out of the hole I was in. Then one day, while walking my dog, I happened to pass the doors of CAST on Doheny and walked in. I was told it was a group therapy program based on CBT--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy--basically learning to recognize the thought and behavior patterns that keep you stuck, and how to change them. My mind immediately went to "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s: sitting on low sofas in a glamorous office discussing our problems. As it turns out, that's not 'exactly' CAST. I spent about my first week there eye-rolling, resisting and generally being skeptical of the whole thing. I told myself, "One week and I'm outta here.") And then I gave in to the program, and it worked. Period. No, I'm not "cured." Mental health, at least for me, is an everyday practice, and I always keep an eye on myself. But after three months of intensive group and one-on-one therapy, I came out of the woods feeling much more like myself again (and more and more as time goes by). The therapists are extraordinary, as is their guidance. For me, especially Sarah, and also Samson. I'm enormously grateful to both of them. So, from a former eye-rolling cynic who is now something of a convert: if you're not doing okay, GO. Surrender a little. Let the program do its thing I'm very glad I did. Highly recommended.

A long overdue review for an experience I would like to forget as it was a complete waste of time…read more Was fine one-on-one, but then once I was put into one of her online therapy groups, it was a different story. For context, everyone else in the group was white and I was the only person of color. I was charged full price for all of her group sessions, yet she would cut me off and shut down my questions, and then blamed me for not "processing" fast enough to keep up with her pace. She refused to take full ownership for her poor behavior, justifying her rudeness as due to my being too "slow." In the last session she also excluded me from contributing to the group feedback and then said she would not charge me for the the session where I was forced to sit in total silence and not participate, but she never refunded me. Her billing person was also hard to get a hold of and not good at her job.
