She was very good and really helped me in a very difficult time of my life. She is not just a Consuler but also has a good heart and she is has a lot of empathy.

And after long time now I realize how lucky I was to ended a toxic relationship. She already knew it but she helped me to understand it. Thank you Dana... Lucia

A year ago, something happened that prompted me to seek a therapist. I didn't know how to even find…read moreone. I did a Google search and found a directory on a psychology website and compiled a list of four therapists who sounded promising. I sent them an email detailing my situation. Of the responses I received, I was overwhelmingly most excited about Ruth. Immediately, I liked her voice and her soft but not fake or patronizing demeanor. She offered a free phone consultation so that we could determine whether she was the right person to help me. Thank goodness she was! I visited Ruth once per week or twice per month for about six months. She put me at ease, was easy to work with and helped me enormously. Six months later, I am still seeing the benefits of our sessions. First, Ruth asked me to set goals for our sessions. She reminded me of these goals often to make sure that they were still relevant and that we were on track. Second, she took the time to learn enough about my background and history that she could make connections but not so much that we weren't still focused on the present. Third, she utilized a number of techniques, gave me homework and recommended books for further learning on my part. Overall, I found her to be very thoughtful and engaged. She responded often and kept detailed notes so that she was always on the same page as me. I also felt that she was very empathetic and understood me rather than analyzing me from afar. Although I have little experience with therapists, I venture to guess that she is in the top five percentile. There is nothing I would want to change and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Relaxed, engaging, and insightful, Ruth gave me the self-diagnostic tools that are the basis of my…read morerecovery. She helped me understand how I had gotten to where I was and how to navigate away from my old, unwanted behaviors. I recommend her highly.

I've been single my entire life, the long ago girl in me planned to be married to a solid man,…read moreliving in a craftsman style house, with 3 kids by the time I was 25, but after my twenties came and went, my dreams began to diminish, and now in my forties I'm content to be single, and often joke that as much as I like the idea of being in love, I'd probably end up being the runaway bride. So when my neighbor invited me to a lecture held by Dr. Lozano I agreed to go, but the cynic in me had no expectations that I would be leaving that day a new person. I was wrong. What Dr. Lozano gives a person are a tools to better ourselves with. Some might think that's easy, but there are people out there plagued with doubts, worries, or insecurities that hold them back and if you happen to be one of those people, it might be time to find out why, that's what I plan to do. After lecture another attendant asked me, if I had gotten anything out of her seminar. I told him that surprisingly yes I had and it had surprised me because I had really gone in with a very ho hum attitude. For those who have been searching for answers and even those who ignore that voice in the back of your head, I really recommend attending one of Dr. Lozano's Meet up groups, they are free to attend, and you will get a wealth of information.

We laughed, cried and connected. When Lorena introduced EMDR therapy to our sessions, everything fell in place.

This office and its staff are not helpful…read more Oct 15th, intake packet complete. After upwards of 5 calls to secure an appointment, we got our FIRST appointment set for Dec 8th. After a 30min assessment Veronica Bobadilla (Therapist) said my 15 year old needed "a higher level of care" than she could provide. She said she would write a referral for an IOP and strongly suggested we go to the ER. The ER sent us away because the child was stable. Meaning they were not going to harm themselves. They sent me back to beachside therapy for a follow up. Before that could happen I received a bill and termination of services letter. Obviously upset by this I called to investigate what was going on. Sean told me "we did refer you out" then proceeded to read a list of "referrals" provided in the termination email. Those "referrals" were to call 211, go to the emergency room and an Adult mental hospital. NOT the IOP promised. Instead of trying to understand the situation Sean made condescending remarks to me over the phone. Asking if he needed to do everything for me.... This is when I asked to speak to the office manager. Lucianna Hurley. Lucianna was originally defensive l when we spoke. I suppose she didn't like being called out for her office staff's demeanor. Sean originally claimed he was the office manager. After some extensive explaining Lucianna understood the problem. They were terminating care without providing alternative care. Just leaving a kid hanging with no help. She promised call me back directly with a referral. I've since called and left 4 messages on her direct line, I've called the office AND emailed. The only person that responded to my emails was Veronica Bobadilla (Therapist) who once again told me to call 211, provided me with an Adult Therpy center and not much else. I don't think this office knows what a referral is. After getting nowhere I had the idea to call a juvenile IOP program and ask to speak to their on call therapist. Within an hour I was able to get a real referral and the child starts the next day. I expect a higher level of professionalism. This office doesn't seem to be run well at all. After doing more reading. I'm learning I'm not the only person who experiences this.

This business creeped me out before I even made an appointment. The man who answered the phone was…read morevery polite and professional. I followed his instructions and went to their website and started their "Request an Appointment" process. I filled in window after window of the requested information, including my credit card information, at which point the form stopped working. After trying and trying to get it to work, I gave up. The next day I received an email (to my email address they gleaned from my incompleted form) saying I needed to upload documents. So I thought, 'Oh good, the form worked after all'. So I proceeded to upload the documents (a picture of my driver's license and a picture of my insurance card). I continue to fill in more, and more, and more information, and agree to sign my life away if I fail to notify them 48 hours in advance if I wouldn't be able to keep an appointment. (This caused my anxiety and adrenaline begin to flare, but I persevered.) Well, after a great deal of further information requested, that I dutifully provided, I absolutely could not continue when I got to their questions about sex. It asked if I am sexually satisfied. For not even being in a client/provider relationship yet, that question said it all. Abuse of power. Good riddance "beachside" "therapy". Sociopath vibes there. Yikes

What truly stands out is their approach to building relationships. Their tagline--"strengthening families--one relationship at a time"--genuinely reflects how they work: "Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love."

In short: Parent Child Therapy Clinic is a shining example of compassionate, skilled, and relationship-focused therapy. If you're seeking support for your child or family, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
