I experienced what I can only describe as negligence and incompetence at best, and cruelty and callousness at worst. After months of building trust, she informed me that I would need to return to a residence where abuse occurred as a child in my adult life or "end up on the streets." She made this statement to an employed adult, earning a six-figure salary in corporate America, seeking therapy to address these painful issues privately. When I respectfully confronted her about her odd statement in session, she dismissed my concerns, accusing me of being "triggered" by her comment about living on the streets. I pointed out that I had never seen any research suggesting that therapeutic progress improves by returning to environments where abuse occurred. I also explained that if she didn't believe in me as a person, there was no reason for me to continue paying hundreds of dollars a month for therapy. I could easily find someone who believed in me--and wouldn't charge me for it. I'm sure I could also find people who didn't believe in me, for free. Her response was to scream at me saying "I made a mistake," and, only after the fact, admit that it was a mistake. I ended the relationship, but after much thought, I feel it's important to speak out. My hope is that others can avoid the anxiety, betrayal, and wasted time I experienced.

Pretty quickly, he guided me through a meditative visualization in which I was in nature, doing activities that put me into my flow.

I left the session feeling much more connected to my flow with more clarity and a focus on what would feel more "heartful" than "viral." I'm feeling excited to get back to sharing my story, raw, real, and me--how I used to--versus the polished version in which I was being guided to by others.

I consider myself fairly particular about whom I work with in any setting, but especially so in therapy, and I have no reservations about recommending Dr. Dicken wholeheartedly to anyone in search of counseling on the Westside, or even remotely. In addition to her strong fundamentals - pattern recognition, ability to link the past to the present, clear memory for people and events - Dr. Dicken brings both a calming warmth and a wry sense of humor to her work. She also possesses a broad range of intellectual reference points, which makes her a more universally accessible therapist. I appreciated how we were able to build a strong relationship - complete with conversational shorthand, vulnerable and honest communication in both directions, and the occasional (or even frequent) jokes. While working with Dr. Dicken, I made significant strides in several key relationships with both friends and family, as well as in my professional life. Obviously these changes were not her doing, but having her there to work through obstacles and concretize action plans was a significant help. I ended my engagement with her in December of 2019 because I felt confident that I could succeed in my short- and medium-term goals without additional therapy, thanks in large part to the work we did together and the tools I developed in those sessions. Finding a therapist is a very personal process, but I believe Dr. Dicken has a broad appeal and is well worth consideration for anyone in search of a down-to-earth and thoughtful counselor.

I went to this clinic three times before writing a review because I wanted to have more than one…read moreexperience to draw from. The first time I went as a walk in because I'd read somewhere that they accept walk-ins. That's ONLY if you're already a patient of theirs. Soooo, I spent an hour in traffic from Los Feliz and God knows how much gas driving to this place to be told they don't take walk-ins for new patients. The waiting room was empty. Thankfully, I read here on Yelp that they have parking validation because no one mentioned it and I would have been stuck with a $21 parking free. I asked for the validation, paid the $4.00 (not $2 as it says on their site) and wasted gas driving back home. But I was impressed with the neighborhood and how friendly the staff was (especially the receptionists), even as they turned me away. Second try: I made an appointment and went in. I only waited about 20 minutes, which was great. I encountered really nice employees leading up to my exam. I'd expected a bad experience as I've always had a private doctor and insurance until recently. I'd heard horror stories about clinics treating women like crap and being located in really scary neighborhoods. The physician's assistant who saw me was a bit gruff in her bedside manner and I've never had a GYN be so rough during an exam. She then told me I needed to stop squirming and pulling up on the seat. And she seemed annoyed when I didn't understand her blunt question, "Are you bleeding?" to mean am I having normal menstrual cycles. We'd been talking about fibroids, so I thought the question was in relation to fibroids, not menstrual cycle. Overall, she was the person there that I really would like to have exchanged for someone else. But I wasn't harmed in any way, so I just chalked it up to a clinic experience versus a private doctor. I was asked for a donation and I gave $20. The third time I went (today) was for a well woman's exam. I made an appointment for 9 AM and I had a work related event at 11:00. I fought the hounds of hell to get there in the AWFUL traffic along Santa Monica Blvd only to sit in the waiting room nearly TWO HOURS. What was the point of an appointment? I changed the work appointment I had to 12 noon. I went to the window three times to ask what was going on. A very friendly nurse came out and got me for my vitals, asked me for a donation, then sat me back down in the waiting room where I watched several women who came in after me go into the back to see doctors. I was baffled. But each time I asked how much longer, I was told politely I'd be seen soon and was given an apology. Finally, after two hours, I told them I could not wait any longer. I was so stressed and upset that I nearly burst into tears in the parking lot. Another woman in the parking lot asked me which doctor I'd seen and how did I like the experience. I told her I'd not seen a doctor and she was confused. "You were never seen??? You were there when I got there ." Exactly. I paid my $4.00 AGAIN for parking without being seen. They have a 15 minute grace period for patient arrival but I can sit in the waiting area for two hours past my appointment time??? Although I believe they mean well and they are very kind, I don't know if I'll go back. I don't understand why they'd double and triple book. Because it's low cost doesn't mean it's right to waste people's time. I'm so disappointed because I was very happy about this clinic and told a couple of friends how wonderful it was.
