I was desperate for help and just wanted to function. This institute completely changed my life. I'm no longer a prisoner to OCD.

I achieved these results thanks to an excellent team.

I really tried not to…read more Too much money. Too much time. Too much stress. So, I tried everything else. Waiting. Meditation. Talking to friends. Blogging. Sports. Late-night gym sessions. Eating chocolate. Breathing slower. Petting puppies. Joining clubs at school. Meeting new friends. More waiting. If there's some sort of general knowledge for how to be generally happier, I tried it. But none of it worked. I didn't know what else to do other than just tough it out. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months, months into what would ultimately be three years. It was time. Time to do what I just really tried not to: seek counseling at UCLA's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Ultimately, though, I think I would have put off that decision even longer had it not been for a few friends who graciously told me their personal experiences with counseling--that it wasn't much money (even covered under insurance), that it wasn't much time (as little as an hour a week), that it wasn't stressful at all (in fact, it was relaxing). So, to them, I owe so much. And now I owe you. I owe you because if you're reading this, maybe you're thinking about making an appointment. About trying it out. Just because I wanted personal experiences when I first started, I'll give you mine. I walked in one random day after class and asked the front-desk woman what to do if I would like to make an appointment. They are always so kind here, and she wasn't an exception. She told me, though, that my appointment would be like a few weeks away. They're pretty busy here, especially around finals, so I was pretty dismayed that I had to wait that long considering every day was just absolutely terrible in my mind. Finally, the day came. Basically, you just put in some basic info on an iPad--like your BruinCard number, name, etc.--as well as fill out a quiz about some of the things you're feeling. It just gives the counselor an idea of where you might be at. Then, you wait upstairs. I was called into a room with an evaluator who asked me some basic questions (kind of like what the questionnaire asked) and then allowed me to describe why I stopped by. She then told me that CAPS would find the right fit for me in subsequent appointments; she also asked if I preferred a female or male counselor. So if you want help right away, well, you're gonna have to wait a little bit. Keep that in mind. They do have a hotline to call if you're really feeling bad, though. As another week passed by, I finally got to meet my counselor. She was very collected and calm but I could see the empathy in her eyes, the genuine interest in what I had to say. Something about a neutral party who is specifically trained in psychological services really makes for a fantastic atmosphere for being open; however, that first meeting, I didn't see that. I went back to what I thought: this is a waste. This won't work. For future appointments, I would be on the cusp of backing out; I was literally on the phone one time about to press the number to cancel--until the robot voice told me it would incur a charge for being so late. Yet, little by little, these meetings made me feel better. My counselor never lectured me or chastised me, and every single sentence she said either guided me towards my own realization or towards a general course of action. I was amazed that she didn't provide concrete advice or orders, but I still knew what to do. She connected the dots between issues I never even knew were related; I still value that knowledge to this day. I was lucky enough to really recover enough from my general sadness; while I was always functional, I now could be functional and happy at the same time. So if you're reading this and think CAPS is not gonna work, then I'll tell you this: I thought the exact same thing, and it worked for me. Give it a try. If you need more details, message me.

I've gone to this clinic for over 4 years and have seen multiple providers there. It's very…read moreapparent early on that the admin/office side of the clinic is disorganized and largely unprofessional. But unfortunately it became obvious to me that the clinic, including the executive leadership, does not prioritize or support patient health. For example, in all 4 years of going, I missed two visits - one due to a family emergency and the most recent due to the flu. Both times I notified the office in advance of the appointment and tried to cancel/reschedule the appointment but was still charged a fee (due to not giving enough advanced notice of these emergency situations). Even with this last and final time, the office, including executive leadership, refused to accept the doctor's note I provided in support of having the flu and still charged me. While their mission is to support students, their practices are more indicative of their values.

I began working with Gary in my mid-twenties and we covered a lot of ground in the years we worked together. He not only helped me through difficult times, but also helped me to understand, accept and trust myself. I am now 60 and I still rely on, and benefit from, the wisdom and insight I got through my work with Gary. It continues to guide me through the challenges of life today and to help me create honest and meaningful relationships with my children, family and friends. After I left LA, I worked on occasion with other therapists and doing so has made me treasure Gary even more for his kind, patient and caring approach. He is always real and honest with a warmth that made me feel safe and trusting from the first meeting. He is truly a gifted therapist who loves what he does. I can't recommend Gary Brown highly enough!

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.
