There are so many well educated psychologists that actually know what they are doing and didn't accumulate a PhD over decades and talk to you explicit about things (including your genitals) and offer absolutely no help but say bad things about you to your primary practitioner as well as your own personal family members. I hope this helps anyone looking for mental health to find someone skilled and not just someone misguided and pretty much unskilled.

It is my pleasure to recommend to you, Tony Davis, LMFT, a highly competent and trustworthy…read morecouples' therapist. I am a licensed psychotherapist myself and have always found Tony to be very skilled at helping couples successfully work through their problems in the several years that I have known him. Tony's passion for doing couples work is apparent in the way he enthusiastically speaks about his therapy work and by his ongoing dedication to expanding his clinical knowledge-base with additional certifications relevant to the well-being of couples. What is more, the smiling faces of the many couples I've seen walking out of his office is clear evidence to me that there is something truly good and meaningful going on inside those therapy sessions with Tony! Tony is a valuable community resource and the first behavioral health professional I think of when I am asked for the name of a couples' therapist whom I would fully recommend in the greater Los Angeles area. --Tony Madril, LCSW, BCD

No matter what I'm experiencing he sees the other side, the side of possibility and freedom from whatever thought I'm stuck in. And he skillfully shows me the way to get from where I'm stuck to an open feeling of "anything is possible, why didn't I see it myself?" In addition to coaching sessions the Transformational Weekends he holds are great learning opportunities. I was fortunate to have just attended one this month and I had the best time.

I found Alan about 5 years ago and have been working on and off with him ever since. His FasterEFT…read moremethod is truly amazing and much quicker and effective than any other type of therapy I've ever tried (and I have tried several conventional and unconventional therapies). With Alan's help and guidance, I have been able to release past childhood traumas including long held grief for a sibling who died as a teenager. I have also been able to resolve my relationships with my parents (also deceased), beliefs about money and many other issues that I have been dragging around for way too long. After working with Alan, my life became easier, happier and more successful. I still have stuff come up but now I have the tools to rid myself of those thoughts and feelings in the moment before they fester into something larger. I just got back from a Transformational Weekend with 16 other participants. It was a great refresher course and Alan has added even more elements to his teachings which informed the process further. If you are searching for a therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Alan.

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!

Emily has a deep sense of empathy. Most good therapists are empathic but I think hers comes from a…read moreplace of curiosity. As a person she genuinely wants to understand where you're coming from. It's this curiosity of hers that makes it easier to open up. She's also well read and seems to be on top of current books that might help you. For example she once recommended a book called "Quiet" which greatly helped me understand and appreciate my introverted nature. Many therapists and (doctors for that matter) don't have time to stay abreast of developments in their field and the advice they give can feel a bit dated. But because she's a curious person, she reads a lot, and will often have relevant book recommendations.

She is also an unparalleled "interpreter," helping translate our respective thoughts and feelings. My wife and I agree- she doesn't choose sides but instead just helps us better understand where the other is coming from. Even though we relocated, we still see Emily virtually because we know there's no one better.

In relation to my spouses sexual addiction, he justified man by saying to me, the wife, that Eve was at fault in the garden of Eden- why Adam ate the apple.

This man was very unprofessional, Egotistical, Chauvinistic and critical. A "counselor" like this can cause more damage than good due to his own dysfunctional issues- doctorate or not! Glad we had enough sense to discontinue seeing him the first time I met him. I would never recommend him to anyone.

When I told him about my constant anxiety he assumed that it was from a lack of confidence without asking about my history. I'm aware of my issues and the root cause but I've been exploring different methods. I've talked to 4 other therapists in the past and all had unique styles and were very informative. Gary himself is an egotistical man who seems to only do this business out of recognition and money. I believe everyone has their unique style of therapy but Gary's would be best forgotten. HIs "neuropsychological" therapy is at best a mimic of mindfulness meditation as he would say in a clinical setting for the insurance company. To anyone that reads this I implore that if you do go to Gary, pay attention to how much he talks about himself and his success. The main thing a Professional Psychologist does is learn as much as they can about the patient especially during an intake. Also, Gary if you're reading this never force advice to a first-generation graduate when you yourself were given everything.
