This review is for Dr. Mani Vahidi, MD. Having a skilled, well-educated, and experienced…read morepsychiatrist is truly a blessing, especially if you come from an ethnic background and need a provider who understands both your culture and the unique challenges that can come with it. I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Vahidi. He is an exceptional listener who is never judgmental, and he takes the time to fully understand my concerns before discussing the available treatment options with me. In less than a year, I have seen tremendous improvements in my mental health. What I appreciate most is that he never pushes unnecessary medication. Instead, his recommendations are always evidence-based and thoughtfully tailored to my individual needs. After seeing several psychiatric providers over the years, I can confidently say that he is one of the top two psychiatrists I have ever had. Although he is the first male psychiatrist I have seen, his professionalism, compassion, and nonjudgmental approach made me feel completely at ease discussing my mental health challenges. He also gave me information about valuable resources to support my overall mental health. I highly recommend Dr. Vahidi to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and culturally sensitive psychiatrist. He has made a truly meaningful difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for his care.

This review is based on a single appointment I had on January 22, 2026, with one practitioner--not…read morethe facility as a whole. I was referred to Harbor Psychiatry & Mental Health by my primary care provider for medication management. These medications are not optional--they are critical for my daily functioning, including managing depression, mood stabilization, and ADHD. I was assigned to Krista Ribota for a 45-minute telehealth assessment, and it was honestly one of the most distressing and upsetting medical experiences I've ever had. From the beginning, Krista was cold, dismissive, and visibly impatient. There was no warmth, no effort to make me feel comfortable, and no sense that she cared about me as a patient. I understand these assessments may be routine for her, but the way she conducted it felt robotic and completely lacking in empathy. Krista asked very personal and invasive questions, which I expected--but the way she asked them felt abrupt, harsh, and without any compassion. The interaction became so overwhelming that I started crying during the appointment. Instead of responding with any concern or basic human decency, she said: "What are you getting so upset over, why are you crying?" That response alone was shocking and made an already vulnerable situation feel humiliating. She should be terminated based off of this alone. At the end of the appointment, Krista told me she would not prescribe or adjust any of my medications. I then asked if she could at least continue my current prescriptions so I wouldn't miss doses, and Krista refused that as well--despite knowing these medications are essential for managing my mental health. Regarding my ADHD medication, Krista insisted I come in for a brain wave test. When I asked simple, reasonable questions--what the purpose of the test was, what it involved, and why it was necessary--she told me she didn't have any more information and that I "just needed to come in and do it." No explanation, no education, nothing. The appointment ended with no help, no prescriptions, and no clear plan. Krista told me she would follow up after speaking with a doctor. She never did. I received no call, no email, no message--nothing. Being left hanging like that, especially after she knew how important these medications are for my stability, was incredibly irresponsible and unprofessional. This experience was not just disappointing--it was genuinely distressing. No patient seeking mental health care should be treated with that level of disregard, lack of compassion, and poor communication. Krista Ribota should be terminated based on this appointment & her behavior. Please advocate for yourself if you seek care here. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this provider. Do NOT work with Krista Ribota

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Hensling. I went in feeling a bit…read morelost, unsure of what my next steps in life would be. 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. Not with Dr. Hensling. She allows you to share your feelings and thoughts and makes sense of them. 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! Thank you for all the help and clarity you've provided me. I'm so grateful to have found her!!

She has provided sound advice, letters, and guidance for navigating through horrible circumstances and situations. She is also very professional and is able to stay in her therapeutic role really well. I'm able to communicate a lot more effectively, set proper boundaries, and most of all love and respect myself. My confidence has also improved. Overall my life has seen an immense benefit with her in it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a psychologist that actually listens, empathizes, and reorients her clients into the direction they want their life to move in! Her office is also just a few miles from the beach after therapy I usually just drive to the beach and watch the waves crash.

Like many people I've researched and tested a few psychiatrist and Dr. Davis and I clicked on very well from day 1, and ever since we only got better in all ways possible. 1st Dr. Davis really cares about my well being and he really asks the right questions to guide me to the right direction along with medications to support my needs. Dr. Davis is really down to earth and very easy going to allow me to really open up and honestly, he knows me very well which allows him to give me some life counseling and guidance in some of my lowest moments in life, and Dr. Davis has seen me grow so much from when I didn't have kids to now happily married with 2 kids. With proper medications and checkups I was able to make my life much more enjoyable, making my life much more positive, and just overall a better person living a healthy life. I see Dr Davis as a good friend to chit chat about anything. Also I have to give a big shout out to Barbara, his secretary is also very cool and down to earth dealing with my scheduling, and appointment reminders. Overall Dr Davis and Barbara makes a all start great team and I highly recommend anyone reading this to really give Dr. Davis a try and you won't be disappointed!

I caution anyone who is considering hiring Christine Golden at OC Psychology Center. Ms Golden…read moreexacerbated my children's anxiety they were experiencing as a result of a divorce and teamed up with my ex-wife to advocate on her behalf throughout the case. By the time I figured out that she was contributing to my family's destruction it was too late. She and the children and my ex had become emotionally attached and the court viewed that as a positive thing. She regularly reported me to CPS for emotional and physical abuse and each investigation concluded that there was no evidence to substantiate the report and that the Ms Golden was mis-informed. My ex then used Ms. Golden's unsubstantiated reports in family court to restrict my custody time. Yes, you are guilty until proven innocent in family court, something my ex's attorney (also female) knew quite well. It was a well orchestrated attack on an unsuspecting father, using and manipulating my children for their own emotional and financial gain. I never knew humanity to stoop so low, all under the guise of 'the best interest of the child' as advocated by family court. When discussing one particular report of abuse, Ms Golden told me "the truth of [my son's] allegation doesn't matter. What matters is what [my son] FEELS the truth is." This confirmed my suspicions developed over the preceding 6 months. The actual truth is that Ms. Golden had no experience working with children in a high conflict divorce, she had no parenting experience of her own, and she was unlicensed at the time she recommended weekly therapy. Her therapeutic experience is with young adults suffering from trauma. She applied this experience to my children (8 and 9) and offered separate 'parenting sessions' to me and my ex, totaling 4 sessions a week. I quickly opted out recognizing her 'therapy' only as a scam and a way to further separate me from my children. My ex on the other hand used Ms Golden masterfully to obtain the 'expert' testimony she needed to obtain full custody. I find it horrifically ironic that in my case the people making accusations of abuse (Ms. Golden and my ex) were same people stoking chaos and subjecting my children to the chaos that created their anxiety to begin with. And rather than help my children understand that they have a loving father and their relationship with him is important, Ms Golden did the exact opposite. Ms Golden obviously lacks the therapeutic, ethical, and parental foundation that any well meaning parent would seek for their child's psychologist. Your child's mind is sacred ground that should be protected against therapists like Ms. Golden.

Dr Montgomery called me the same day and spent 20-30 mins discussing my son and learning about our situation. After spending that time with me he explained that it made sense for us to see someone closer to us given it would be ongoing care. Despite that, he sat on the phone with me and helped research doctors in my area. After we hung up he sent a follow up email with resources (doctors, books, etc). I can tell he is a dedicated and caring doctor and if we lived closer I would definitely come see him!

Knowing full well that post-covid the need for mental health professionals was on the rise and therapists were booked to the brim there was Mehry who was different than the rest! She reached out to me in a timely manner after I inquired if she could take new patients, that was around June '22. Here I am nearly two and a half years later continuously seeing her and attending weekly sessions. I can not emphasize or state enough just how much of a difference she's made in my journey. She's very attentive, caring, empathetic amongst her many other qualities not only as a doctor, but as a human being first and foremost. As she's told me, verty humbly albeit, you don't need to give me credit for having made progress in your mental health journey, I'm just here to guide you. Even if the role of the therapist is to guide you to find the answers to your issues and have you fix them yourself, there's no doubt that Mehry being the doctor allowed me the space to open up, be vulnerable, have the faith in her as a professional and most importantly in myself that I can move forward. There's no doubt that having Mehry along for that journey was a big help. The fact she allows for MediCal patient to see her shows how much care for people from all walks of life she has. I mean, words cannot express my gratitude for her very existence, help, and for being my doctor. Mehry's care and approach towards her patients is one of genuinity. Please be rest assured that you can trust her on your potential journey with her. In a field that sometimes people may not have the most ideal experiences, I want to show that with a healthy set of realistic goals and expectations you will be surprised just how much Mehry is a star of her field. Thanks for being my doctor, thank you for allowing me to be a patient when it felt I couldn't find anyone else, that is a feeling I will not forget and carry with me throughout my life. I will always be grateful for everything she's done, I can not say it enough, if you are looking for a doctor, give Mehry a chance!
