I've attended many seminars and trainings from well-known speakers and coaches over the years, but Tim's approach is different. It wasn't just coaching--it felt like real healing. He helped me look at my past failures, disappointments, and resentments from a completely new perspective. Instead of seeing them as burdens, he helped me realize they were actually part of what shaped me into the person I am today. For the first time, I felt genuine gratitude for experiences I had spent years wishing never happened. That shift alone was incredibly powerful. I left the session feeling lighter, more at peace, and more hopeful about the future. I'm genuinely excited for my next session and to continue this journey of growth and healing. Thank you, Tim, for helping me see that our greatest challenges can become our greatest gifts.

It took me years and years to muster up the courage to start therapy and the first therapist I went…read moreto (not Erika) was not a good experience at all. That therapist was invalidating and had such a lack of attunement, it was so surprising. I'll always remember how I felt more attunement, compassion, and understanding in the first handshake I had upon meeting Erika than during the whole 10 sessions I had with the previous therapist. Erika is nonjudgmental, genuine, caring, professional but so down to earth, observant, and experienced. The only reason why I stopped therapy was because I had to move out of state. I highly highly recommend her whether it's your first time in therapy or you're struggling with something that you're sure nobody would understand. You won't regret it!

I debated long and hard as to whether or not leave a review here. However, after meditating on it…read moreand realizing how important is to get balanced perspectives on something so important as mental health, I find my heart leading me to sharing my experience here for others to consider. There were traditional therapists I found through my insurance provider. Licensed counselors and psychologists. No one was "clicking," and after battling with crippling anxiety, manic episodes, and depression, I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Jacqui. This was back in July 2016. I had a free phone consult with her first. Her voice was warm and her advice was concrete. However, she also pushed me to write a positive review of her book on Amazon. There was definitely a mercenary and marketing tone to her approach. My husband and I paid a substantial amount for my first and only session. We spent most of that time reviewing my past and writing out a "master script," in which I was to detail who I wanted to be with orders to record myself saying these self-affirmations, which were then to reviewed everyday. She smiled and said I would achieve the results I wanted if I purchased her packages, which would be "very cool," as she put it. She also determined I would need the maximum number of sessions with her given how vulnerable and agitated I came across. Then the strange stuff happened. I asked Jacqui for an invoice. I wanted to see if I could submit an itemized bill to my insurance company for out-of-network behavioral services. Jacqui called me right away and told me she didn't have a diagnostic code. She suggested I get a code from my psychiatrist. Then she called me back to say she was moving to North Carolina and could only offer video sessions. The price would remain the same. I declined, and thought, well that's the end of that. But it was not. She continued to call me. She told me I was one of the fortunate few who would be able to receive a free session with someone she personally vetted, a man familiar with "tapping." She promised to watch to make sure he was a good enough replacement. The whole process would take place in her Costa Mesa office. At first, I said yes, because hey, free is not a bad deal. Yet deep down the whole thing reeked of duplicity. Yes, Jacqui is warm and has a good beside manner. However, she made claims I don't think any mental health provider would assert. That may be the point; she is not practicing under a code of ethics. Healing Minds is where people go when they've run out of options. Ultimately, I refused the free session with her replacement. I chose instead to go with evidence-backed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a proven system that has reduced my emotional reactivity and improved my relationships. Given what transpired, I cannot recommend Healing Minds or Jacqui's services under good conscience.

This isn't about me, this is about you. You are here obviously to seek help in your life. To…read moreregain some control, to let go of outdated, hindering emotions. There are therapist that only help people for the money. Therapist whom get jaded over the years and only see clients as numbers walking in and out of their office. This was a concern of mine. To pay a stranger to care for your problems for an allotted amount of time, and give you feedback and techniques to take home that may or may not just keep you running mental circles was a big concern for me when researching therapists. So let me alleviate them for you when speaking of Jacqui. I emailed her a standard net email I was sending to some therapist in the OC/LA area. Her response was the same day. We set up an introductory phone session for later that week. Within the phone session, I felt the sincerity that Jacqui was offering that I was looking for. Instead of just the usual psycho-spiel that most other therapists were giving me on the phone interviews, Jacqui actually let me talk, was not worried about time too much, and listened to what I was saying. That sealed it for me. We set up our actual session for the next week. I have never done professional hypno-therapy or EFT before, and I had minor doubts only because I know how my mind likes to distract itself, especially when being told to be quiet. The pace and direction of the session were all very well received though At the end of the session, I did see some immediate changes in my mannerism regarding the my own self defeating patterns. Jacqui's sincerity shined through till the very end of our session, and it was an added bonus to know that she still actively seeks her own betterment, not many therapists will admit to that. Instead of selling me an inflated amount of sessions, she suggested the amount she saw fit for my progression. I am done with my sessions with her, and I am very happy that I chose Jacqui. A bit of advise from me though, it is awesome that you are seeking help, but do not be addicted to seeking help from without. Any good teacher, therapist, psychologist, etc. will only be a great guiding post to your own inner answers and truth. They are not the answer, and they will not have the answers for you, they can only point you to your own, and it is up to you then to live within it. And Jacqui is an excellent guiding post! I am recommending my girlfriend to go see Jacqui, and anyone else that may read this review. Hope this has helped you with your decision! Cheers!
