I well preface this by saying I only called Dr. Aldahwi to inquire about her services and ask some…read morequestions regarding her practice and couples therapy but she exceeded my expectations in just a simple phone call. Not only did she address my basic questions that we all have when looking at therapy options for the first time but she actually took time to talk to me and listen to me probably more than she should have about my issues in my relationship. She even asked questions. I felt heard and engaged with and for as brief as it was, it was like a breath of fresh air. I don't usually write reviews, but for someone who took time to listen when they had really no obligation to, I just had to. Highly recommend considering if you are looking at options. Hopefully maybe soon my partner and I can book a session.

I'm so so so grateful to have found Rochelle! Several months ago, I hit an emotional rock bottom…read moreand was desperate to find some sort of reprieve. I had never gone to therapy before but it was something I always wanted to try. I found her through Yelp and was impressed with the reviews and called her for a consultation. She was warm and personable and asked some questions to see if she felt she could help me. Once she determined she could, she set up a weekly time that worked with my schedule. Through my sessions, I gained so much understanding into connecting with my inner self. I had already spent a lot of time dwelling on my childhood emotional traumas and I had felt like I had a good grasp of my emotional patterns. I just hadn't figured out how to heal from them. Her first hypnotherapy session (which I would describe as a guided meditation) was a profound experience for me. She helped me connect visually with the concept of "self love", something I struggled with my whole life. I'm so grateful for the experience, and she was such an incredible emotional support through a very difficult period of time in my life. She helped me maintain healthy coping habits and to deal with hard times gracefully and in a way I feel proud of looking back. She is a wonderful and authentic healer and I highly recommend her!

I never thought I could control my emotions, and wasn't even aware of them, until after this program. My private therapist, Ruth Avalos, was one of the best therapists I've ever had and did an exceptional job. Other amazing therapists there are Sarah, Danielle, Ruby, Sofia, and Patty. All absolutely phenomenal, Suzanne included. There is no DBT clinic anywhere in the area, if anywhere at all, better than this one. There group classes are amazing, the environment very supportive of one another, and very thorough. They also have great phone coaching at a moments notice, that got me through so many difficult moments I would not have survived otherwise. Thank you Suzanne and Wallach and her team. I highly recommend this place.

Her depth of knowledge is remarkable, and she brings such an affirming, compassionate, and genuinely uplifting energy to every interaction. I was truly blown away by how thorough and thoughtful she was in her assessment, taking the time to fully understand me in a way that felt both validating and empowering. It is so clear that her heart is in this work and that her top priority is truly the well being of her patients. I left our session with clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of gratitude for having found her. Lara is an absolute gift to this field, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. MMA as a whole reflects that same level of care and integrity, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking support to reach out to them.

I fell into a major depression in my late 50s. My parents had died, I was afraid of the future,…read morestruggling with the lack of challenging work at my age, and realizing I had never really dealt with some childhood and early adult trauma. I tried Jungian analysis--cool, interesting, even fun, but it didn't help. I tried Transcendental Meditation--I tried pretty much anything I thought might get me out of the hole I was in. Then one day, while walking my dog, I happened to pass the doors of CAST on Doheny and walked in. I was told it was a group therapy program based on CBT--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy--basically learning to recognize the thought and behavior patterns that keep you stuck, and how to change them. My mind immediately went to "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s: sitting on low sofas in a glamorous office discussing our problems. As it turns out, that's not 'exactly' CAST. I spent about my first week there eye-rolling, resisting and generally being skeptical of the whole thing. I told myself, "One week and I'm outta here.") And then I gave in to the program, and it worked. Period. No, I'm not "cured." Mental health, at least for me, is an everyday practice, and I always keep an eye on myself. But after three months of intensive group and one-on-one therapy, I came out of the woods feeling much more like myself again (and more and more as time goes by). The therapists are extraordinary, as is their guidance. For me, especially Sarah, and also Samson. I'm enormously grateful to both of them. So, from a former eye-rolling cynic who is now something of a convert: if you're not doing okay, GO. Surrender a little. Let the program do its thing I'm very glad I did. Highly recommended.

THIS IS IT!…read more 5-STARS: I did the searching, I read the reviews, I asked for the pricing. I did the comparison for you. She's the one. 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!

A long overdue review for an experience I would like to forget as it was a complete waste of time…read more Was fine one-on-one, but then once I was put into one of her online therapy groups, it was a different story. For context, everyone else in the group was white and I was the only person of color. I was charged full price for all of her group sessions, yet she would cut me off and shut down my questions, and then blamed me for not "processing" fast enough to keep up with her pace. She refused to take full ownership for her poor behavior, justifying her rudeness as due to my being too "slow." In the last session she also excluded me from contributing to the group feedback and then said she would not charge me for the the session where I was forced to sit in total silence and not participate, but she never refunded me. Her billing person was also hard to get a hold of and not good at her job.
