She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!

I am truly grateful for Dr. Dalsimer, her patience, wisdom, experience, and methods.

For now, I have a much better grasp on my stress and more confidence in my career. I recommend Kei to anyone who is looking for a new therapist. If you are willing to be active in your therapy, Kei will give you the tools to help yourself. And there is comfort in knowing that if I need to speak with someone again, Kei is available and I am confident she will be able to help.

URGENT WARNING TO PARENTS & FAMILIES: Reported to Federal & Local Fraud Authorities…read moreDo NOT trust Rize OC with your life, your family, or your recovery. This facility operates purely for profit, engages in highly illegal and dangerous practices, and will abandon patients on the street the moment insurance payouts drop. They are currently operating numerous rehabs & unregistered sober living homes in Fountain Valley, Forrest Hill, Mission Viejo, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach without registering with the city to deliberately evade local fines and avoid being shut down by municipal regulations regarding sober living residences. Major Violations & Warning Signs: Abrupt Abandonment: Patient was given a 12-hour notice to leave on a Saturday 7/25/26 with zero discharge planning, safe placement, or involvement from my therapist or case manager--despite available beds in the house--purely due to insurance reimbursement shifts. Active Fraud Reports: Official complaints and evidence have been submitted directly to Federal Health Care Fraud Departments, Local Task Forces, State Fraud Divisions, and Insurance Investigators regarding rampant billing fraud, phantom billing, illegal patient brokering, paying for patients' insurance premiums and co-pays, and forging physician signatures. Severe Patient Safety Risks: Beyond the financial corruption, there are gross privacy violations, lack of required licensure for mental health/SUD treatment services, and unsafe environments where controlled substances were improperly dispensed by patients due to staff shortages. Deceptive Practices: "Leadership" Straw man Chris promises unlimited 1-on-1 therapy during sales tours just to sign people up, knowing full well the clinical staff has no capacity to deliver. This is not a legitimate healthcare facility; it is a predatory operation taking advantage of vulnerable people and insurance systems. Save yourself and your loved ones: Stay far away. Note to management: If you attempt to respond and twist this back on me by falsely claiming I was drinking, using, or blaming it on alleged behavioral issues or administrative problems--none of which were ever the case--I will immediately start publicly posting receipts, documents, and photos of all the evidence.
