Scott Fish was my therapist for approximately seven months. I've had therapists on and off…read morethroughout my life. And without a doubt, my overall experience with Scott Fish was the most disappointing, the most souring I've ever had with a therapist. It wasn't until months into our professional relationship that I finally caught onto Scott's true agenda. Let's just say I, the client, was never the number one priority when it came to my own therapy with Scott Fish. It truly blows my mind that there are people in this world who'll justify their actions and abuse their position of power to get what they want, however they can get it and betray a client's trust/confidence in the most abhorrent, despicable manner imaginable. And at the end of the day they're still able to look themselves in the mirror, pat themselves on the back and tell themselves, "What I did was not out of malicious intent!!!" It would seem unfair that I'm leaving a one star review for an entire establishment such as Hope and Healing Counseling Services, due to my experience with one therapist, but I stand behind my rating. This is because I reached out to Scott Fish's manager Vanessa and asked to speak to the owner about my grievances with Scott Fish. I was basically brushed off. I made it crystal clear I wanted to speak to the owner Ramon Hernandez. It's been months. Ramon never contacted me. What Scott Fish did with me has got to be the most damaging thing I've experienced in decades at the hands of a clinician, or anyone for that matter. It has significantly impacted my ability to trust in others. When I finally confronted Scott Fish about what he did, he snapped back real quick and said, "Well....! I didn't record anything...!!!" with a big shiteating grin on his face. All I can say to that is, when Scott Fish's same laptop he had open and active during every session, a "record" button doesn't need to be on in order for information during a confidential therapy session to be accessed by another entity. And curiously, he switched out his laptop to a different one when I confronted him again for our final session on December 2nd. I filed a formal complaint against him through his licensing board (Board of Behavioral Sciences).

Calling to cancel my future appointments due to death in family and switching to a counselor closer…read moreto home. The receptionist first takes all my details asking me to spell my name and provide my birthdate. That should be sufficient, right? Then, after a wait, she says she is transferring me to the scheduling person, so I wait. When this scheduling person answers, she AGAIN takes my name with spelling and my birthdate, says "please wait," and I find myself on hold again. Then it appears she has transferred me to a third person to handle what should have been a simple task by the FIRST individual. This person doesn't know why I'm calling, hasn't been briefed and starts querying me as to whom I already talked with!!! I was so angry that, while dealing with this recent death and all other matters, they made me play phone tag in trying to get me to someone who could simply cancel all my appointments. Will definitely tell Desert Oasis Healthcare that THIS is not a healthy provider to have as part of their behavioral therapy, since I do remember now it took them almost a month to get back to me initially to schedule my FIRST appointment. What a circus!!

I met Dr. Sam Ko in 2017 when he was an ER doctor at Loma Linda, and I was having a mental health…read morecrisis. The hospital psychiatrists were going to send me home without treatment, and he fought and worked it out to give me a small dose of ketamine in the ER to help my suicidal ideations. I was in the middle of a chaotic ER, but he did everything he could to make the experience calming--he gave me his phone with a soothing playlist, a blackout mask, and talked me through some breathing exercises. The dose of ketamine really helped me get through that day, and I always remembered Dr. Ko from that day. Fast forward a few years, and I discovered he had opened Reset Ketamine near me. Recently, I went to Dr. Ko for Stellate-Ganglion Blocks (SGBs), and I found the experience to be very comforting. Though this is a procedure requiring medical sanitization and procedure, Dr. Ko makes the clinic as Zen as possible. Everyone involved in the procedure sets an intention, including the patient, and he talks you through every part of it. Dr. Ko is just a kind, caring, honest and knowledgeable physician, and his staff is the same way. I would not ever hesitate to recommend Reset Ketamine if you are looking for science-backed alternatives for your mental health care.

I think more than anything she is so specific and 'productive' in her approach to her work. She really wants to help you make decisions and change behaviors that are not helpful. She is super direct and honest, which I WANT in a therapist. So if you want someone who will just sit quietly and listen endlessly, find someone else. Robin will be very honest with you about yourself and help you see, hear and move forward from things you are struggling with. I really can't recommend her enough. In fact, I have recommended her to so many of my friends who wind up using her and finding her SO helpful!
