Mental health treatment centers abound in Orange County. Barn Life Recovery has evolved in a very…read morespecial way. Located in a Mecca of twelve-step programs, addiction treatment centers, and mental health treatment programs, Barn Life's philosophy is entirely holistic, paying respectful homage to both ancient wisdom and modern modalities. They acknowledge - and practice - integration of body/mind/spiritual as it has been understood in Eastern philosophy for millennia, and intertwine it with current, up-to-date approaches to mental health management. Their clinical staff is well-versed in neurodiversity, in the examination and understanding of the deepest layers of internal family systems, and in how the multitude of variables within each individual's experience (trauma, addiction, OCD, autism, sexual orientation/expression, family of origin, etc.) might affect these variables. The center lacks in polish-and-marble sterility, but it succeeds because it rejects these qualities as "necessary" for better mental health. Rather, its eclectic, colorful, organic, seemingly-haphazardly-thrown-together ambiance lends itself to honesty, vulnerability and authenticity. It is not for those who desire cold, distanced, workbook-driven therapy groups. It IS for those who need somewhere to meditate amongst knowledgable, caring, concerned providers about the darkest, most frightening elements of their interiority to face them bravely, to gain naked insight, resilience and - eventually - calm. There is no place quite like it, and it is saving lives with its unassuming, humble, sage sensibility.

This program is about giving a safe community to practice functional living and social integration. Carl is the case manager and has always assisted me in keeping the I's dotted and T's crossed.

Kristen and Matt's groups are enlightening and engaging. Darren's soundbaths and yoga are great. Thank you Barnlife for giving me what I need to participate in my own recovery.

Please proceed with caution if you are considering seeking any advice or guidance by this woman…read more She will act very attentive the first session and you will be duped into thinking she cares and can help. Ms. De Francisco cares about helping herself in terms of adding to her bank account. She had me coming on a regular basis when I sought her services during a time I was struggling. I wish I had went on a shopping spree or took a vacation rather than spend copious amounts of money with this woman. I was vulnerable and under her "spell" so to speak. She convinced me we were doing "intensive work" but really it was either her nodding her head or giving me ridiculous advice. Just one of many snippets of bad advice.....she suggested to relinquish parenting decisions over to my sister as it was her opinion that I wasn't strong enough to handle things with my pre teen child at the time. Mind you, she also knew my sister which is how I was even referred to Jennifer and my sister was vying to get control over my estate. It's all very messy and convoluted. So word of the wise, be selective when it comes to seeking help in difficult times.

She helped me navigate and understand my wants and needs. She's very relatable and to the point. I've been to other Psychologists and most of the time they're just a feelings sharing session.

She is very honest and upfront, and doesn't sugarcoat which is exactly what people need when they're feeling lost or unsure. I always look forward to seeing her!

I first discovered The Meditation for Health Podcast in 2014. Immediately struck by the quality of…read morethe recordings, I was attracted to the energy of openness, and impressed by the relative lack of commercialization, compared to other meditation resources. It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation.

I highly recommend Courtney Collier, her no-nonsense approach is exactly what we needed. I saw…read moreCourtney for couples counseling during a time where my boyfriend & I both felt like we could really use a third-party intervention. My boyfriend and I are two strong people, and we needed a therapist to be sharp enough to call us out on our stuff. Not only did she prove a strong therapist, in the end I really got a sense that she cared about us. Perhaps it's a small thing, but it made the whole therapy experience real for me. It's amazing how our fights always seemed to be over they same small stuff, & Courtney helped us see that what we where fighting about wasn't necessarily about the content, but about much deeper needs both of us had. Knowing this, we now can have meaningful and productive conversations that often have a good outcome. I walked out of therapy seeing our relationship issues as just normal stuff people go through. What makes our couples counselor unique is that her style of counseling uses tools that she instructed us to use in session. We continue to be mindful and use these tools outside of our session. This hands-on approach gave us essential life skills that I just didn't get growing up...common sense skills to communicate with honesty and vulnerability and ways to avoid reactive fighting that so plagued us in the past. Again, I highly recommend Courtney Collier- she is the best in SF!

I went in and found a really great doctor there, but man, they make you pay through the nose. And…read morethen follow-up appointments are $500 an hour or $250 every half hour, and they will not renew your prescriptions if you don't actively have regular appointments. The brain scan and the counsel and the supplement advice I received were helpful to know, but I think I could have gotten a lot more out of those $5,000. It really didn't tell me anything new and they didn't prescribe me anything revolutionary. Even though I can see what's going on with my brain, you still have to think your way through this. So I don't think if you're considering whether you should spend $6,660 at the Amen Clinic or invest it in cognitive behavioral therapy, I say you'd be better off using it on therapy. It was an interesting experience, albeit expensive and not so fruitful, but I think the worst part is the not getting prescriptions renewed because I don't want to pay 500 bucks an hour. I found it's not a true "care" or solution place- it's a profit center primarily, with short-term focus and poor priorities for human care.

The doctor called me directly for a quick phone call after I first reached out to his staff with my inquiry. He's always been warm, transparent, totally knowledgeable about his line of work, and modest even :) Honestly, Dr. Mahjoubi easily comes across as a good guy first and foremost. I appreciate that he actually offers a more tailored approach to my treatment plan compared to plenty of his competitors, while still educating the patient, kindly asking relevant questions with sincerity, and keeping safety at the forefront of discussion. You can reach the office by phone call of course or reliably by text and everyone's been prompt and friendly. Dr. Mahjoubi's practice feels highend/upscale to me overall, with a good heart at the center of it--an asset in the noisy ketamine therapy space. A massive thank you to this doctor and his team! :)
