I consider myself fairly particular about whom I work with in any setting, but especially so in therapy, and I have no reservations about recommending Dr. Dicken wholeheartedly to anyone in search of counseling on the Westside, or even remotely. In addition to her strong fundamentals - pattern recognition, ability to link the past to the present, clear memory for people and events - Dr. Dicken brings both a calming warmth and a wry sense of humor to her work. She also possesses a broad range of intellectual reference points, which makes her a more universally accessible therapist. I appreciated how we were able to build a strong relationship - complete with conversational shorthand, vulnerable and honest communication in both directions, and the occasional (or even frequent) jokes. While working with Dr. Dicken, I made significant strides in several key relationships with both friends and family, as well as in my professional life. Obviously these changes were not her doing, but having her there to work through obstacles and concretize action plans was a significant help. I ended my engagement with her in December of 2019 because I felt confident that I could succeed in my short- and medium-term goals without additional therapy, thanks in large part to the work we did together and the tools I developed in those sessions. Finding a therapist is a very personal process, but I believe Dr. Dicken has a broad appeal and is well worth consideration for anyone in search of a down-to-earth and thoughtful counselor.

Lena is someone I can count on for honesty, support, and occasionally share a laugh with. She has incredible life experience and perspective and wonderful values.

Pretty quickly, he guided me through a meditative visualization in which I was in nature, doing activities that put me into my flow. I not only gained insight into what I need to do, but, equally important, into which aspects of what I was doing were not MY story. I left the session feeling much more connected to my flow with more clarity and a focus on what would feel more "heartful" than "viral." I'm feeling excited to get back to sharing my story, raw, real, and me--how I used to--versus the polished version in which I was being guided to by others.

Dr. Tabibian also provided me with a list of additional resources for further assistance and was available after the evaluation was over when we or my child's school had questions.

I experienced what I can only describe as negligence and incompetence at best, and cruelty and callousness at worst. After months of building trust, she informed me that I would need to return to a residence where abuse occurred as a child in my adult life or "end up on the streets." She made this statement to an employed adult, earning a six-figure salary in corporate America, seeking therapy to address these painful issues privately. When I respectfully confronted her about her odd statement in session, she dismissed my concerns, accusing me of being "triggered" by her comment about living on the streets. I pointed out that I had never seen any research suggesting that therapeutic progress improves by returning to environments where abuse occurred. I also explained that if she didn't believe in me as a person, there was no reason for me to continue paying hundreds of dollars a month for therapy. I could easily find someone who believed in me--and wouldn't charge me for it. I'm sure I could also find people who didn't believe in me, for free. Her response was to scream at me saying "I made a mistake," and, only after the fact, admit that it was a mistake. I ended the relationship, but after much thought, I feel it's important to speak out. My hope is that others can avoid the anxiety, betrayal, and wasted time I experienced.

Dr. Bahador is great - truly cares and takes her work seriously…read more We were seeing mixed learning patterns with our daughter (advanced in some areas and slower in others) and thought it might be related to her eyes. After many visits, questions, and tests, two pediatric optometrists said everything was fine. But during her assessment, Dr. Bahador immediately suspected the same issues we were seeing at home. She referred us to another pediatric ophthalmologist for detailed testing. That referral changed everything. They confirmed our daughter had physical eye-tracking challenges that were affecting her learning, not her ability. It was the only thing holding her back. This was missed twice before, and it could have hurt her confidence as she starts learning to read. She also helped us think through a plan and shared school options that fit our daughter's learning style. We're very grateful for Dr. Bahador. Her attention, care, and professionalism have made a real difference for our family.

Working with Maya has been the single most transformative thing I've done in my life. I've worked…read morewith Maya over the last 3 plus years and it's hard to imagine what my life would've been had I not met Maya. Maya's approach to therapy is holistic with an emphasis on family systems. She gave answers to questions I've always wondered about myself as well as shed light on things in my life that I didn't realize were impeding my growth. I came to her with a whole host of issues in my business and personal life, issues that I thought were impossible to solve. She welcomed those problems with open arms and we tackled them one by one, getting to the root issue of each (most of my issues stemmed from the same root problem, go figure) and my life has done a complete 180. Can't say I've gotten emotional from writing a yelp review before but it's hard not to when someone has helped you at such a deep level to turn your life around. So if you're reading this and you're on the fence, take this as a sign to reach out to Maya, my only regret is I wish I would've worked with her sooner.

I work in a high-stress, high-volume environment, and have a personal history of trauma. We've explored ISTDP then switched to EMDR - this technique was a game changer, talk-therapy never worked. I appreciate JH's approach being present-and-future-focused, EMDR helps w/ the past, but the work with JH is helping me to take my power back, enjoy the present and be excited about my future. The goal is always growth and healing - adjusting techniques when I block. It's been a few years and I love who I am today. My relationship w/ JH has helped me to develop my mental and emotional health beyond what I was thought was possible in life.
