I had one topic in mind to discuss and she kept changing topics and asking about health conditions and I told her i felt good about ending my marriage as friends and she yelled "you're not friends - he's a narcissist ". I don't see him that way. She degraded my husband, asking me "do you STILL like this man" and was extremely judgemental that I stayed with him for 25 years and that I am still a resident of AZ since that's where my husband lives. It was the weirdest session I've ever had with a Dr before. It was like a toddler with ADHD who asks a question, doesn't wait for the answer then asks a different question. I tried 3 times to redirect the convo to the topic I came to discuss & she would change the topic . She even insinuated that I was shallow bcuz I wanted to improve myself b4 putting myself out there to date. She argued with me SO long that again, I couldn't discuss the topic I came there to discuss. She talks way too much and doesn't listen to her clients. I would NEVER refer anyone to her !

I haven't seen Dr. Cicconi since around 2011, but I recall her fondly. I saw her a handful of…read moretimes because I was going through some hormonal issues and had terrible insomnia that was making me feel really out of it. My friend recommended I talk to a psychologist because I was so stressed out and I reluctantly agreed. Meeting Dr. Cicconi was like a breath of fresh air. Her office was very welcoming. There was a couch in the waiting area and a love seat in her office. Her little office was furnished to give it a comfy, homey feel. I found the hour long visits went by very quickly because I had so much to talk about. Dr. Cicconi was very warm, personable and experienced in her field. She was able to reassure me and give me lots of great advice that I still use to this day! She was also able to recommend a progesterone cream (Kokoro balance) that helped me so much my hormonal issues went away! And she recommended a quality brand of melatonin supplements (Source Naturals sublingual) to help me sleep. After seeing her only a handful of times my health had improved so much that I decided to stop seeing her, but to keep her number just in case anything changed. Over the years I have tried different brands of progesterone cream and melatonin just to try to save money, but time and again I have learned that those two brands she recommended are the best I can find. After I stopped seeing her I recall bumping into her at the movie theater a few weeks after my last appointment. I was excited to see her and I gave her a big hug and thanked her for her help. She was happy that I was doing so well and did not pressure me to keep coming, (like some places do sometimes). Even though it has been so long since I have seen Dr. Cicconi, I am still so glad I did because, without her help I don't know where I would be. Thank you, Dr. Cicconi, for your dedication to the profession! My family and I appreciate you! :)

This means going without medication for two weeks, despite having been on the exact same prescription consistently for the past 6 months. I've already missed two days, and the lack of support or willingness to provide even a short-term refill is concerning. Situations like this can lead to withdrawal symptoms and negatively impact a patient's well-being. I expected better continuity of care especially from a Psychiatric Facility.

They created a safe environment where my partner and I could communicate openly, better understand one another, and work through challenges in a productive way. I especially appreciated their understanding of the unique demands that come with first responder life. My therapist recognizes the pressures and challenges that affect us and approaches everything with compassion. She always remains objective and fair. She listens to both perspectives without judgment and helps us look at situations from a different point of view. Her guidance has given me and my family valuable tools to better navigate "life". I highly recommend Valencia Relationship Institute to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and objective support. Their work has made a meaningful difference for my family and me, and I truly appreciate the positive impact they have had on our lives.

I had a 60-minute initial intake appointment on January 15, 2026 and was prescribed Lexapro with instructions to follow up in one month to monitor how the medication was working. Shortly after the visit, I discovered that my insurance had been billed for both a 60-minute psychiatric evaluation and an additional 60-minute psychotherapy session. I did not receive a separate psychotherapy session. When I questioned the billing and asked that the claim be corrected and resubmitted to insurance, the office refused to rebill the claim. Instead, they simply removed the portion I would have owed but kept the insurance payment for the psychotherapy service. Shortly after raising this concern, my follow-up appointment was canceled without any prior notice. When I reached out to confirm my appointment date, I was told it had been canceled and that I needed to find another provider. I was never informed ahead of time, never given formal written notice, and no transition plan or assistance was offered -- despite the fact that I had just started a new psychiatric medication that requires monitoring. It was very clear that my treatment was dropped as a retaliatory response simply because I questioned their billing practices. Patients should be able to ask legitimate questions about billing discrepancies without fear of losing access to care. I also found the front desk staff member, Katherine, to be extremely rude and condescending in her communication. Instead of addressing concerns professionally, the responses felt dismissive and unhelpful. To make matters worse, I have repeatedly requested my medical records from my January 15 visit and still have not received them despite multiple follow-ups. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. In my opinion, this practice seems more concerned about money than providing proper patient care. Because of these concerns, I have reported this situation to my insurance company for potential billing fraud and have also filed a complaint with the Medical Board of California. I would strongly caution anyone considering this provider. A psychiatrist out of all professions! One is supposed to care for patients mental health and well being!
