Tessa Barrows was the only one who offered to take me on as a client. I went into this with an open mind.

It has taken me a long time to write this review. I don't like speaking ill of people when I know…read morethey are not malicious. However, this is important information: After a 45 minute conversation, Dr. Shain diagnosed my 9 year old as being Bipolar, and immediately prescribed them a mood disorder drug. The drugs caused my child to begin having severe, medication-induced psychotic breaks. After several terrifying months of this, my child's symptoms dramatically worsened. I asked Dr. Shain if we could wean them off and try something else. He was very reluctant, dismissed my concerns, and suggested we just pile on more meds. When I pushed back, he told me that, if I really wanted to go back to zero with the meds, I should just cut them out immediately, without titrating them down. We ended up in the hospital, after a severe, terrifying meltdown. No one there could understand why our psychiatrist would advise us to abruptly cut our child off mood disorder drugs I proceeded to have my child evaluated at Stanford, and found a new psychiatrist. My child is not bipolar. They are autistic, with depression and severe anxiety. They are extremely sensitive to medications - which is apparently common with autism. A year later, and my child has stabilized beautifully. They still struggle with depression and anxiety, yes, but I no longer have to hold them down to keep them from trying to claw their own eyes out. We haven't had any psychotic episodes since we stopped giving them the wrong meds, and had them properly diagnosed I feel bad about posting this. I do not think Dr. Shain is a bad person - I feel certain that he cares about his patients very much. However, he made catastrophically bad judgement calls where my child was concerned. I don't like to think about what my child's life would be like if we had followed Dr. Shain's recommendations.

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more I tried to reach Dr. Shain for a consultation meeting for a family member. He gave me 3 hours notice on a Friday and I told him that unfortunately we couldn't make that time and would like to schedule an appointment the following week. He sounded frustrated and said he going to be out on vacation. No problem, me thinks. So I tell him we can be in touch when he returns. Thankfully, in that time, we found a very professional psychiatrist (Dr. Zuberi in Lafayette) that we were very happy with. Yeah! 2.5 weeks later, I get a call at 9:30 on a Monday night from Dr. Shain. After asking rudely if we were going to schedule an appointment with him "or not," I told him that while he was out, a therapist was found and we are going to go with him. He curtly replied, "you know, you are a piece of work," and HUNG UP. Amazing. No idea where that came from - he acts as if I stood him up for an appointment or had gone round and round trying to schedule something, but this as our second conversation. Once I was able to fully grok what just happened (have never been spoken to by a "professional" in this manner), I immediately tried to call him back, only to get voicemail. This is so unfortunate and inappropriate on so many levels. For a THERAPIST to actually be mad at us for finding a doctor we were happy with is, at best, disgusting. I can only imagine if we would have selected him - we would need a psychiatrist for our psychiatrist! Update: I should say that he came to me as a referral by a trusted friend, and he did help her family. So while I'm glad to hear that he has helped someone, I question anyone's judgement - especially a therapist - who thinks they can speak to others in the way he spoke with me.

Valina's arsenal of highly educated resources of individuals with such a high level of desire to help others heal, is by far more superior than I've experienced. She has helped me realize trauma is not a blanketed experience, but rather an individual experience, that needs personal evaluation, and attention for proper healing...it's deeper work than I imagined but having Valina by my side trudging through it with me was exactly what I desperately needed.

I believe this is due to all of the techniques she provided me with that I still use to this day. I didn't only go in and vent to her, but she gave me something each session to use until I met with her again. That is really vital in making progress with things. It makes it feel like your therapy is really lasting until the next session.... that it does not end when you walk out of the door. She exudes warmth and kindness, and I became comfortable with her almost instantly. For me, she had that vibe of a friend you have known your whole life. She has so much wisdom to offer. Another thing I loved, was that she did not simply just sit there and listen, then give me all of the answers to my problems in a straight forward way... what she did was make me find the answers myself, which is really powerful! It really helps you see that the solution to a lot of issues are really within you, if you know where to look. She gave me a confidence I thought I had long lost. I cannot thank Julie enough for what she has done for me. I had been to a therapist or two long ago, and I honestly can't remember a thing about them or what, if anything, they taught me.
