I was looking for someone to guide me through the turbulent waters of grief and I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and graceful soul to help get me through.

She always starts our session with a huge warm smile that immediately sets the mood for an epic hour. I would highly recommend Alisha to literally everyone. I cannot say enough great things about her. She has helped me to be a more optimistic, positive person that I always wanted to be. Soon I will be "Fiercely Optimistic" and am enjoying my journey to get there.

Crystal Stone is just such a beautiful Soul. I started coming to her back in August (it's November…read morenow) when I was looking for some guidance in my life. You know those points in life where you just feel like you need some help?? I had a phone consultation with her and just everything that I was wanting to improve for myself she was knowledgeable about. I was looking to cultivate self love, self care, confidence, boundaries, reassurance in myself and in my work, etc and after talking with her I set up my first appt. When we first met, she did an assessment of all parts of myself and my life which I love because it showed me that she was going to show up for every part of me and help me show up for every part of me too. Every appointment I've been gifted with so much knowledge on how to have better boundaries, self forgiveness (this was an eye opener) how to have better relationship with myself and others, self care, self love, confidence, letting go, healing, emotional detoxing, and even info on my body (my cycle)! And There's still more learn! Every appointment with her never seems like long enough. I wish I could sit with her for hours. She has so much knowledge to share! She is so kind and gentle and just helps you feel so balanced. If you are seeking a better you, Crystal can most definitely help you achieve it! Thank you Crystal! XO

Crystal saved me! She helped me find my JOY!…read more When I first started seeing Crystal, I was broken, stressed and depressed with tears falling down my face. The first thing that really struck me about Crystal is that I instantly felt comfortable around her. She listened to me and helped me get my life back. She encouraged me to love myself and through several exercises, she helped me to develop a plan for self-care, setting boundaries and for turning dreams into a reality. Crystal is compassionate, wise, professional, caring, helpful and vulnerable. She is very well-read and she loves what she does. Because of these reasons she is dedicated to helping people turn their lives around. She is helped me get back on track personally and professionally. I am waking up early, going to the gym, cooking, traveling and enjoying all of the wonderful joys in my life with my lovely family. Thank you, Crystal! I am forever grateful for you!

Not sure what has changed the last few years - her service is nothing like what the reviews saw…read moreshe used to be years ago . I have seen Karina a 2 times in the past , and followed her on instagram after the fact . For a "healer"- I'd expect somebody who doesn't put down other women . This woman has consistently put down other women and myself included through passive aggressive comments (She mentioned several times getting cosmetic procedures done to my face and body ) & how she treats other women & how other women I personally know have gone to her and felt the same . That time was my last time seeing her , but I didn't unfollow her . Not only is she a misogynistic bully , she has said consistently to kill every Palestinian. This is not a healer - this is a narcissistic person using the cloak of "spirituality" to disguise her inner evil. Spare yourself and your soul- go to somebody who is truly healed inside, one who doesn't judge . If you are looking for a safe space , she is not the one . She will not heal you, and she supports Donald J trump . Anybody who supports trump is not a spiritually aligned person , as I said, just a narcissistic person under a cloak. Islamophobic, racist , misogynistic... yeah sure ... "healer "...

I can't really speak on the quality of the IOP or PHP programs…read more My experience just... was not what I expected at all and I had since found better sober livings (which is saying a lot, because those were still inherently stressful but I at least stayed long-term. La Jolla Recovery set the bar very low). I've been in sober living for a year now, and I am now leaving. Never any relapses, graduated a program, did all the things. I'm at least in a better place from it. La Jolla Recovery was NOT that place for me. I began in April 2025. I stayed for a total of two nights before I had to leave to go to the emergency room, back to the inpatient. I was inpatient for about two weeks before I came to La Jolla Recovery. I had recently quit cannabis and was seeking mental health treatment. At first glance, it seemed chill. I had friends who had gone here and apparently had a positive experience. The groups were decent, staff were friendly, there was available snacks, etc. They had outings at the cove, etc. However, the sober living was......... awful! I stayed at a sober living house where I was immediately prescribed medication I had not taken while inpatient, but was forced to take it. One of these medications were entirely new to me, Trazodone. There was a delay in getting my mood stabilizers, anti-psychotic, and anti-anxiety medicine. I had never taken Trazodone before, but having nothing else available to me, I took it as prescribed/was pressured into taking it by the sober living manager who organized medications. The first night, I had stayed up ALL night. I was hyper vigilant, no need for sleep, and a little paranoid. During the day, it was... okay. I didn't really know what was impacting me considering how vulnerable my mental health was and the chaotic nature of being in sober living for the first time. The second night, I took the medication again. Again, I was feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed and restless/anxious. The sober living manager gave me a 2nd one, and I felt pressured to take it/was told "it would help me calm down and sleep"; that's when the shit show began. Immediately, I started hallucinating visual shapes and became scared. The best way I could describe it was "my brain was on fire." I have a history of epilepsy in childhood, and my first thought was "Oh my god, am I going to have a seizure?" My mind began severely racing and I asked her if I could call my parents and I thought I needed to go to the hospital. Coincidentally, my aunt called during this time. She, and another house manager, told her I had gone to sleep and didn't let her talk to me. This was a lie. I sat on the sofa, feeling severely anxious and panicked. I was not aggressive, overly disruptive, anything of the sort. Everyone was in their rooms at that point, as it was time for bed. I did, however, kept asking for them to call my parents because I was afraid I was having a medical emergency (I definitely was) and asked to go to the hospital. I had never hallucinated like that EVER, I had no previous history of psychosis. Initially, she told me "I am NOT going to let you ruin this house for the other girls," meanwhile, I had gotten along with the roommates and even knew some of them from having been in recovery before. I was clean, kind, and tried my best to be considerate. I introduced myself to people, wrote a note explaining my situation, and tried to be as mindful as I could be considering I was already in a vulnerable state, having experienced a death in my family, a sexual assault, and other traumatic occurrences within the few months prior to me seeking support and help. Then, she and the other woman (a fellow house manager?) threatened to call the police and have me taken away in handcuffs. I had done NOTHING illegal; I had no substances on my person, I respected everyone's space and items, I broke no laws. Holy hell, I was there for 2 days and was trying to get acclimated to a new environment. What was the crime, having a mental health episode as a result of a new medication mishap? Eventually, I was able to get my parents on the phone. They spoke to her directly and said that if I could leave the sober living in an ambulance, they would meet me at the hospital. I waited patiently for the ambulance and went to the emergency room, where I waited all night and was placed back in inpatient in the ICU at Sharp Mesa Vista. There, I was restabilized and put in a different sober living. The aggression from the house manager, the lack of empathy, the lying, and the arbitrary difficulty to even get into communication with my support system was actually insane. She felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing; fronted as a kind and caring person, but then would switch and be quite scary once I was in crisis. I was told by one of my friends who works in recovery that she has since left/been replaced, but oh my god, I pray that they thoroughly vet their housing managers at this point if they want retention. 0/5 stars. Avoid.

After being there 6 days I was told I have to do 30 in detox then I move to mental health house and do 30 there. He knew very well I had only 30 days. The house on their website that's all beautiful on the beach, only holds 6 clients. And the detox house is nasty old rundown apartments with old couches, no table to eat at, nothing on the walls. Just like a frat house. Everyone just sits in their rooms watches tv and eats junk food. Brian from admissions showed up when I became angry that he lied to me about my time there, and he started trying to convince me that doing the program their way was what was right for me. I left and it really screwed me up to have been lied to and shoved into the wrong program just so they could make money They are taking advantage of people with mental illness and people with substance abuse issues by signing them up for programs that do not meet their needs.
