This is purely based on as far as I got in the process - I didn't get past the intake specialist…read more"Mallory". I inquired about receiving services from ABS and I received the shortest and seemingly false responses from this person. First of all, they were quick to end the conversation by saying that they're out of network with Tricare. But wait, my daughter is covered my 3 insurances so why are you ending this conversation so quickly. Secondly, "Mallory" said that I would need to get rid of my other insurances in order to receive services here with MediCal. As a nurse that's worked in a variety of healthcare settings over a span of 6 years, including psych, I have NEVER heard of this. This conversation alone was enough to make me not want to take my daughter here. As the first person you come in contact with, an intake specialist is supposed to kind, friendly, and helpful. Otherwise, it gives the wrong impression of the company itself. For the record, every other place I've been in contact with reaches out via phone upon inquiry. I've attached their cute brochure that I picked up from the SDRC which has all of our insurances listed on them

I have been hoping to write a review on Freedom Within Therapy and Wellness Center for a long time…read morebut something inside has held me back. I've not made it a secret to friends and even on my YouTube channel that I have been undergoing therapy - as of now for around a year and a half for PTSD. I was very grateful that Freedom Within took me in when its schedules were full. In the past, I had been one to talk down therapies, though I've always had good relationships with the mental health professionals I often worked with when I was a military chaplain. That is, I thought it was good for others, but I was ok. However, over time I wasn't and it came my time to get the support I needed when my own resilience was falling apart. I did have some ideas of what to expect because I have worked in psych wards in the past, but there were some surprises along the way too. Having said that, Freedom Within offers a wide variety of support in the areas of trauma, anxiety, PTSD, grief support (including groups), among other counseling areas. For me personally, my therapist has been outstanding. The care and counseling support for this difficult time in my life has helped build be back up in many ways in things that used to come natural to me. It's good that I have been taught constructive ways to manage my condition to help better navigate a healthier path for me. It's progressing - but the exceptional work of my therapist has been right for me when I needed it most. Though I have been with the same therapist over the last year, I have still met most of the others having been a patient for a significant period of time. They are all highly professional, courteous, caring, make you feel welcome, and, on a basic level, just make you feel good. I don't know if Freedom Within is a best kept secret, but a recent renovation and expansion of the office area has brought added space and new offices, as well as new therapists on board. They are also certified by Tricare to receive military members, active and retired. I have greatly benefitted from this, and still do under VA care. Well, what I thought would be a difficult review to write wasn't too hard after all. I do hope readers will benefit from this write-up and mostly reach out for support from great organizations like this when they need specialized care of the nature that Freedom Within offers. I'm so glad I did. Recommend: HIGHEST

Kate Nicholson has been a trusted and reliable colleague of mine since 2022. Over the years, I have…read morebeen constantly impressed by her clinical insight, professionalism, and genuine dedication to her clients. Throughout our graduate program, our professors were consistently highlighting Kate's excellent combination of strong clinical skills and authentic compassion. She has a natural ability to attune to her clients, and builds trust effectively and organically with a foundation of respect, understanding, and safety. Her warmth and presence allow her to connect with people in a meaningful way, while still maintaining the professionalism and structure needed to facilitate growth and change. As a fellow AMFT, perhaps what I admire most about Kate is her commitment to continued learning and excellence in this field. After graduate school, she pursued additional certification in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), reflecting both her passion for helping clients and her dedication to providing evidence-based, high-quality care. Out of our graduating cohort of 30+ individuals and only a handful being presented with awards, I vividly remember how appropriate our classmates agreed it was that Kate was selected for the "Outstanding Clinical Skills" award. She approaches her work thoughtfully and intentionally, always seeking ways to deepen her skills and better support the individuals who she works with. Kate's passion for therapy is evident in every aspect of her work, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated therapist. I highly recommend Estes Therapy, and I highly recommend Kate Nicholson.
