While I can't speak from the perspective of being a client, I've seen firsthand how deeply she cares about others and the intention she brings to everything she does. She has a calming presence, listens with empathy, and is incredibly knowledgeable. I have no doubt that anyone working with Nicole would feel supported, respected, and genuinely cared for.

Please do not schedule an appointment with this women, and please read the reviews which are…read morehidden. She is the most rigid, uncaring "professional" I have ever interacted with. She cares nothing about helping people except enforcing her 72 hour cancellation policy and blabbing about how she "wrote a book". When I tried to explain to her that I have a chronic pain issue and have a very difficult time traveling, she couldn't care less and was extremely condescending. It was honestly the most upsetting experience interacting with her on the telephone, and I can't even imagine going to her for any sort of assistance during a difficult time. Please stay away from her. In response to Rachel: I didn't FAIL to show up. I called with three days notice and CANCELLED the appointment. You refused to let me cancel and stated you were a professional and were going to be paid for your time. Saying I did not show up on your billing statement is a LIE. With the help of the Grieving and Counseling Services of Santa Barbara Hospice, I have reported your unethical billing practices to the Behavioral Sciences Board of California. I can only hope the other "disgruntled" persons do the same. ****For the "disgruntled" individuals, here is the link to report Rachel Aarons. https://www.breeze.ca.gov/datamart/loginCADCA.do;jsessionid=47076E95B7BA00B45535EF60592598C2.vo7 Scroll to California Board of Behavioral Health Sciences, then scroll to Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Then write your complaint The website will time-out without warning, so write your complaint up in a program and copy and paste it into the window. It is a fairly easy process, and I highly recommend you do this instead of being extorted to pay for services you cancelled/didn't receive.

I cannot recommend a therapist more highly than I can recommend Miranda Field. I had a nightmare…read moreof a childhood and adult life. I could have appeared as a guest on a talk show. A previous long-term therapist once told me that it was amazing that I was still alive or not in some jail or in the back ward of a mental hospital. I started therapy with Ms Field with a very bad attitude: filled with resentment, anger, and fear. But soon, my sense of her deep personal integrity allowed me to really begin work with her. It took some time and effort on my part, but now my life is better than I could have imagined or hoped for. And I am finally in a place inside where I can successfully pursue my deepest dreams. It would not have been possible without Miranda's help and commitment to me. To our angry friend on this page, I will just say that therapists are required by law to report if they believe that someone's safety is in jeopardy. In no other circumstance would she "break confidence." If you do decide to work on a problem with Miranda, I am sure that you will find her a person of exceptional integrity, wisdom, kindness, and skill. I cannot recommend or praise her or our results highly enough to do her justice. Best of luck to all who read this.
