If you're reading this, you're probably on the fence about ketamine treatment. Let me tell you:…read morejumping off that fence into Dr. Mahjoubi's clinic was one of the best decisions of my life. The Ketamine Healing Clinic isn't just a clinic--it's a sanctuary for those of us who have tried everything else and need a new lease on life. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth, compassion, and a feeling that, maybe for the first time in a long time, I was in the right place. Dr. Mahjoubi is an absolute blessing. He's not just a doctor; he's a healer who genuinely cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen, explain, and make you feel safe in what can be a pretty daunting process. I never once felt rushed or like just another patient. The treatments themselves? Life-changing. I walked in feeling hopeless and walked out feeling like I had been given a second chance. It's not magic, but it's the closest thing I've found to it. The calm, the clarity, and the relief I've felt since starting my sessions are indescribable. It's like someone turned the lights back on in a room that had been dark for years. If you're tired of feeling stuck and are ready to try something different, do yourself a favor and book that consultation. Dr. Mahjoubi and his team are truly doing something special here, and I can't thank them enough for giving me my life back.

Wow, it's been several years now and I can't believe I never left a review (then again I had no…read moreidea they were on Yelp). Both Dr. Mahjoubi and his staff was incredibly responsive when I had any questions or concerns. I was on the program for about 6 months or so and it helped me at a time nothing else would. I went off it after to try TMS which was a total waste of time and money. My situation changed financially so I couldn't afford to go back but I honestly felt like it was very helpful while I was in the program. Compared to other Ketamine options, I found his pricing to be reasonable for the care offered and would not hesitate to return should my finances allow.

Ask me what I don't love about Dr. Jay Fibus? Seriously,…read moreGOOD LUCK finding a therapist like him and his associates--I truly mean that with all the love in my heart, but read on if you've landed on this review and you're "shopping around" for a new therapist or were referred to him by someone. No joke, the guy is a freaking genius. Cambridge graduate and has applied the most unique skills in our therapy sessions. I loved meeting in his office and never thought I would be okay with zooming into our sessions because of the pandemic, but oh my gosh--they've AWESOME because of how vulnerable I can still be from the comfort of my own home. In a nutshell, my husband left my son and me, almost losing my job, my home, and custody of my son (prior marriage). Dr. Fibus not only helped me pick up the ashes of where my life was but he sat in the trenches with me as I was sitting in the dung. Let's just say the depression of co-dependency was far too much and I didn't reach self-care and healthy until I opened up and got real with him. He then helped me walk through the dark rooms of my mind which I had vowed to never let anyone in. He held my hand metaphorically and walked me up the stairs to life's reality so I could sing again from the mountaintops. Therapy takes time and unless you are thirsty for it, don't bother. It'll be a waste of everyone's time, treasures, and skilled talent. But when you do decide that your life has gotten to a point where it's led you to this review then understand this of yourself, it's time to make the call and I hope it's to Dr. Fibus. I was so fearful of going because I didn't want anyone to see the hurts, but in doing so, I've gained all that is good back into my life and then some and they're here to stay. I will never say it's easy, never. It takes mental work and your willingness to open up. It's NOT easy. It's the weak that say therapy is a bunch of crap. To that, I say hogwash! It takes so much work to rewire a marriage, a relationship or your mind. So again, unless you're willing to be serious, don't bother. Dr. Fibus gave me permission to self-reflect on the trials and circumstances that led to the healing of the negative and ugly scars of my life. He did it such a funny and gentle way that I never imagined in a million years I would have the perspective I do about those moments. I have learned to embrace them all and allowed myself to finally become more vulnerable and a feeler in my life. I didn't realize the techniques because they came naturally to our conversations and nothing about it was awkward like I had envisioned they would be when "sitting in a therapy session." My life was super far from being screwed up--I just had to learn the fabric of my own DNA and realized in time that life, indeed, is beautiful. He's respectful of both genders and gave me security and compassion when my husband left. He never made it awkward when I would sit for a while and lament and just cry out. He was above reproach and respectful to my ex when he made that decision to stay focused on my journey without being biased. When I ask him a question he is so direct but with a light hearted charm that made me go back out into the world and reestablish my life and identity. He's taught me what healthy boundaries are and worked with me on the darkest days of my depression. He's helped my son out in a few sessions along with his associate who my son just adores and can call up at any moment knowing if he needs an outlet, they are there for him. It got really rough when his step dad had just walked out me but on him too. I have learned that being a successful single mom can be messy, difficult, and imperfect but that it can also be organized, easy, and perfect on some days. I see life as progressive where as before I was looking for perfection; felt I was letting down others; or would anger easily if the person I was co-dependent on would "let me down." The struggles were real and now they're struggles that are super manageable. He's referenced reading material that I thrive at when given quiet moments to read. He taught me that audible books on the way to work can re-wire my brain if I lend myself 20 minutes just to work on myself daily. I take compliments and see the beauty of my journey and how far I have come. I see all of the beauty and thrive from the scars to know that each one them has a story for someone to hear them at the right moment. With all the experiences I've had, I can relate to just about anyone where as before I wanted to depend on a person to make me happy and hide from the world. Don't even overthink it, pick up the phone and just make that appointment, I promise you--you will NOT be disappointed!

They are both wonderful people and highly compassionate. I owe it to them for learning effective communication and the psychology behind it. Dr. Vinni has excellent neurofeedback services. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, ptsd, sleeping problems, etc., he is really good at helping easy those things drastically over the course of just a few sessions. I noticed a huge difference in my mood and sleeping problems. While you're watching a show or movie, your brain is really rewiring itself, creating and locking in new neurons. You feel so relaxed when you come out of the sessions. It makes you feel like you're in the clouds without any side effects. It truly works!

I first learned about neurofeedback when my osteopathic doctor recommended Los Angeles…read moreNeurofeedback. At the time, I was dealing with chronic lower back pain, persistent inner tension, low energy, and anxiety. My osteopath believed that much of what I was experiencing was related to emotional stress and thought neurofeedback could help regulate my nervous system and expand my capacity to respond to whatever life brings. From my very first session, I noticed a shift. Instead of feeling tense and on edge, I felt calmer, more settled, and soothed. I continued going twice a week for about 16 sessions, and over time I kept noticing meaningful changes in both how I felt and how I responded to everyday life. One thing I really appreciate is that neurofeedback didn't make me feel like I was avoiding or suppressing my emotions. Life still brings stress, and I still experience triggers and the physical sensations that can come with them. The difference is that they no longer feel as intense (if they're intense at all), and they don't linger nearly as long. Situations that would have completely derailed me in the past simply don't carry the same charge anymore. I feel like I've made meaningful and lasting changes in how I respond to stress since adding neurofeedback to my care routine. That "boost" my osteopath talked about became very evident because it made all of the calming and self-regulation practices I'd been using for years feel much more effective. Meg and all of the facilitators at Los Angeles Neurofeedback are wonderful. They're knowledgeable, gentle, professional, and take the time to answer questions, so you always feel like you're in good hands. It's now been over a month since my last session, and I still feel more grounded, intentional, and able to take life's inevitable ups and downs in stride. If you're dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, inner tension, or feeling emotionally "stuck," I'd encourage you to look into neurofeedback and see whether it might be a good fit for you. My experience at Los Angeles Neurofeedback was excellent, and for me, it was time and money very well spent.

This is a long overdue review for The Balanced Brain. I had been looking into Neurofeedback in Los…read moreAngeles area for over a year. I have always been intrigued with how wonderful our brains are and just wanted to improve anxiety that had been part of me since childhood, along with improving my brain performance in general. I would tell myself I just wanted to feel "normal". I went through a very difficult experience late last year that left me with high levels of anxiety and severe PTSD. In all honesty, I felt broken. I was in survival mode for many months. My goal was to get better without medication. I did thorough research and finally decided to go with The Balanced Brain and I am so glad I did. From the very beginning, John was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. He took the time to listen, understand my needs, and provide thoughtful guidance throughout the process. I was very nervous during the intake process and my very first appointment. The team helped ease my anxiety. They were very caring and reassured me that my brain wasn't broken. My thought process was a mess. I was a mess. Instead of a one-size-fits-all program, they adjust the training based on how your brain responds. I loved this because my brain was being trained based on MY needs. The team took the time to really understand my history and how my brain and nervous system were functioning. They also look at lifestyle, nutrition, stress, and other factors that affect brain performance. A combination of tools were helpful to the Neurofeedback sessions, such as coaching with Madison, lifestyle guidance, HeartMath, bloodwork to go in depth the health of my brain and body, etc. What I appreciate most is that the focus isn't just on symptoms, it's about helping your brain learn to regulate itself better. This was huge for me. The changes were gradual but meaningful. I started sleeping better, felt calmer during stressful situations, my resilience increased. Instances where I'd be triggered were no longer a thing. I can even go to the nail salon now without anxious thoughts! Everyone at the office is very friendly and professional. They were all very supportive and genuinely interested in helping me improve. I am eternally grateful for them being by my side through it all. I even got to meet some wonderful people also doing Neurofeedback. Sharing stories and experiences was one of my faves! I officially finished my 60th session and plan on continuing in the future for maintenance. John (and the entire team) create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel cared for as a person, not just a client. His generosity, patience, and dedication truly reflects the kind of human being he is. He is incredible! I am very grateful for the support and positive experience I had working with him. Give the Balanced Brain a try, you will NOT regret it. It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself!

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!
