I've long been aware that I have emotional reactions in certain circumstances that limit me. Fear,…read moreanxiety, anger, and sometimes even sadness. I did a couple talk therapy sessions, and then a long series of talk therapy with groups, but didn't find myself getting where I wanted to be. After my first couple sessions with Cherie back in 2009 I knew that I had found what I was looking for. I've continued to work with her ever since, and I'm continually surprised when I discover new things about myself that I wasn't aware of previously.

Cherie offered life changing experiences that gave me a happier perspective on life and others.read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone who wants the most honest, authentic and competent…read moremental health professional they can for their child. He helped my son through a terrible time in his life. Although I would have been willing to continue bringing my son to him, as I saw the good it was doing, Dr. Skelton was so honorable that he told me that my son didn't need to be seen anymore. He left me with good advice going forward and an open door if I ever needed it. He gave up a hefty monthly fee as he was being honest and authentic. It would have been easy for him to keep us going and making good money. But he didn't. He is professional and an upstanding man. I personally feel that any negative comments on here are unwarranted and unfair. I would recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone and stand by that. He changed my sons life in a matter of months. The fact that he told us that we didn't need to come or pay for session a anymore spoke volumes to me. He is honest and truly cares. Plus, he was right! My son is now thriving at school, making new friends, secure in himself and happy. The only thing lacking in his life are his sessions with Jay! He truly developed a bond with him and is often keen to "fill Jay in" on how he is doing. Dr. Skelton left us saying that if we ever needed to call him for advice that he would always be there. I believe that and will call him if I ever need it. I am so thankful to have met such an honorable and talented child whisperer! P..S. Please remember that this forum includes all parties. I have a feeling that any negative remarks on Yelp were made by parents who just didn't like hearing the truth. It's easy to blame others. It's much harder to look yourself in the mirror and own the truth. Dr Skelton is so upfront that he calls it how it is. That's important. The only way to allow your kids to heal is to listen without defensiveness and to make changes that are recommended. Recommended by Dr. Skelton, because he knows what he is doing. Thank you Jay for all you have done.

As a Chinese, I need to admit Heide is an exceptional healer, great listener, and incredibly knowledgeable herbalist of Chinese medicine. Her office is clean, friendly, and inviting. The fire room is warm and relaxing and I never feel rushed with Heide. She takes the time to get to know my symptoms after the previous visit and makes a treatment plan from there. Even my work stress can be relieved with her magical needles. Even though I've moved to San Francisco, I'd come back to visit her once a month. I would highly recommend Heide for anyone with a physical or emotional complaint. She will help you out!

I am rather surprised that more folks haven't rated Heidi. But then I haven't either until now…read more Heidi has helped me with my on going back pain now for a couple of years. She REALLY helped my daughter with her TMJ though. Kaiser didn't do anything at all for her TMJ. After one of my sessions, I brought up my daughter's condition and Heidi said she could help. She did more than help. She Completely took away the pain and discomfort for her in about 4 sessions. Thanks Heidi!

This review is not regarding the in house staff- this is regarding Avery Lane as a corporation…read more They lied to me and said my claim was denied through my insurance and charged me cash only to discover the insurance covered one week at the end of my stay. instead of comping me the offered a "free week". They also screwed up my disability claim- I received a letter from the state of Ca saying they are not accredited and they denied me. I emailed Avery Lane numerous times and was brushed off- the couple of times they actually replied. I plan to report them- just a public warning to get things started. don't waste a dime on these people- unless your insurance is covering every penny.

If I walk in feeling like a '3', I leave knowing I'm a '10'! Yes, I'll go back.

This week, we walked in after a stressful trip to Disneyland (with two little kids, no less), and what could've turned into another argument actually became one of our most productive conversations. Sheena helped us slow down, name what was really going on under the surface, and find common ground instead of staying stuck in our usual dynamic of resentment or shutdown. We leave sessions feeling more like a team, even when we're dealing with big parenting challenges or feeling triggered. We've had therapists before who just gave advice or stayed too neutral, but Sheena actually gets in there with you and helps you work through the tough stuff. If you're a couple that loves each other but keeps hitting the same walls, Sheena is the real deal. We're so grateful for her.

Fifteen days of group and individual therapy. The team is very well informed of addiction and I felt comfortable opening up about my addictions.

I am 60 days sober and feel happy and grateful.

My Dad and I were driving across the country after he relapsed, and we were not sure what to do. We called Live Oaks, and their staff were a beacon of hope and support as we traveled 2,000 miles to their facility. Jack the owner is undeniably one of the most compassionate human beings I have ever met. His facility is top notch with a very knowledgeable, caring and empathic staff. My Dad was treated with tremendous respect, dignity and at the highest level of care. Jake, Marcelo and Alex were all outstanding professionals, and it is because people like this the world shines in great magnitudes. I am eternally grateful for Live Oaks; this place is a miracle.

She initially told me I should be eating 1,500 calories per day, yet the plan she sent was based on 2,500 calories per day. I also clearly stated that I am allergic to fish, but the diet plan still included fish. When I pointed out these errors, she became defensive instead of apologetic. She insisted the plan was made specifically for me and said she would only fix it if I paid for additional sessions. There was no apology and no attempt to correct her mistakes. I was charged full price for a completely inaccurate and careless plan.
