I went to this clinic three times before writing a review because I wanted to have more than one…read moreexperience to draw from. The first time I went as a walk in because I'd read somewhere that they accept walk-ins. That's ONLY if you're already a patient of theirs. Soooo, I spent an hour in traffic from Los Feliz and God knows how much gas driving to this place to be told they don't take walk-ins for new patients. The waiting room was empty. Thankfully, I read here on Yelp that they have parking validation because no one mentioned it and I would have been stuck with a $21 parking free. I asked for the validation, paid the $4.00 (not $2 as it says on their site) and wasted gas driving back home. But I was impressed with the neighborhood and how friendly the staff was (especially the receptionists), even as they turned me away. Second try: I made an appointment and went in. I only waited about 20 minutes, which was great. I encountered really nice employees leading up to my exam. I'd expected a bad experience as I've always had a private doctor and insurance until recently. I'd heard horror stories about clinics treating women like crap and being located in really scary neighborhoods. The physician's assistant who saw me was a bit gruff in her bedside manner and I've never had a GYN be so rough during an exam. She then told me I needed to stop squirming and pulling up on the seat. And she seemed annoyed when I didn't understand her blunt question, "Are you bleeding?" to mean am I having normal menstrual cycles. We'd been talking about fibroids, so I thought the question was in relation to fibroids, not menstrual cycle. Overall, she was the person there that I really would like to have exchanged for someone else. But I wasn't harmed in any way, so I just chalked it up to a clinic experience versus a private doctor. I was asked for a donation and I gave $20. The third time I went (today) was for a well woman's exam. I made an appointment for 9 AM and I had a work related event at 11:00. I fought the hounds of hell to get there in the AWFUL traffic along Santa Monica Blvd only to sit in the waiting room nearly TWO HOURS. What was the point of an appointment? I changed the work appointment I had to 12 noon. I went to the window three times to ask what was going on. A very friendly nurse came out and got me for my vitals, asked me for a donation, then sat me back down in the waiting room where I watched several women who came in after me go into the back to see doctors. I was baffled. But each time I asked how much longer, I was told politely I'd be seen soon and was given an apology. Finally, after two hours, I told them I could not wait any longer. I was so stressed and upset that I nearly burst into tears in the parking lot. Another woman in the parking lot asked me which doctor I'd seen and how did I like the experience. I told her I'd not seen a doctor and she was confused. "You were never seen??? You were there when I got there ." Exactly. I paid my $4.00 AGAIN for parking without being seen. They have a 15 minute grace period for patient arrival but I can sit in the waiting area for two hours past my appointment time??? Although I believe they mean well and they are very kind, I don't know if I'll go back. I don't understand why they'd double and triple book. Because it's low cost doesn't mean it's right to waste people's time. I'm so disappointed because I was very happy about this clinic and told a couple of friends how wonderful it was.

Also, my doctor was awesome and really friendly, she even gave me free samples because they didn't sell my medication in-house. Con: You will wait for a very long time, even with an appointment! I waited for 2 hrs to see a doctor even with a scheduled appointment. In total I was there for 3 hrs. Bring a fully charged phone, sandwich and some reading material because you'll need it!

I couldn't even go to the first session because I completely broke down just looking at her mind map over the phone. Just sobbing.

Processing and diving into her mind map gives your brain the ability to go where it needs to go.

Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback?

Don't waste your time and energy searching yelp and google (I'm the investigative shopper type). Rush to her website and book a virtual or in person session! THE STORY: I found Christina at what has been the scariest obstacle in my life--life threatening illness. I knew it was finally time to do the one thing I'd refused to do for years, face the facts...I can't "figure it out on my own", if I want real health and wellness green juice wasn't going to be the only strategy anymore, and I had to face the really scary truths. Let's just say, no matter how good things seem to be or how much you pretend them to be...your mind knows the truth! EXPERIENCE: Christina literally radiates this amazing energy! She has the perfect balance!! She isn't faking the funk or robbing you with some astronomical price that will just stress you out more. She finds the it what YOU need each time you go. She isn't harsh or intense- she's honest, so unless you want to keep lying to yourself, she will make you own the truth (but don't worry she will walk you out of the stuff that's been weighing you down with love and laughs and fierce female vibes!). You will leave feeling all the pressure off of you! But even when you leave your session, she gives homework! So the healing doesn't stop after you walk out, she gives you things you can incorporate each time to help you continue the work! IN A NUTSHELL: She's basically AMAZING! If you want real, honest, authentic, powerful, transformative healing...you see Christina. Love, a best friend!
