I am not exaggerating in Any shape or form. I had to call his bookkeeper and ended up crying to get my refill. He would not return my calls and would take two weeks to call in my refills. He even hung up on me and the pharmacist. Costco pharmacist told me that he does this to a lot of people And they don't understand why he is still in business and has a medical license. They said he's the only psychiatrist in the area and people are trapped. He is a Horrible person. I want to report him to the State Medical board but it's so complicated. He is a horrible person inside. If you care at all, don't go to him. I'm sorry to be negative but I stand by every word.

I worked with the counselor for a while and it was ok but I feel like it was a waste of time. She would constantly tell me next week we'll do an exercise but we would never do an exercise. She would email me worksheets and we'd never go over them so I just stopped reading those emails. Eventually she was leaving community solutions and I was told I would get a new counselor. My case manager kept reaching out saying we will meet during this time before the new therapist starts but then she kept canceling on me each week or she wouldn't show up. I ended up not responding to her text messages anymore because I was annoyed and it was pointless. I never did get a new counselor either even though I was told one was already scheduled for me. Services just ended on their own, I didn't feel like the quality of care was there for me to try reaching out again.

*READ THIS BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHETHER THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU*…read more I'm a recent client. I stayed at California Mental Health for 5 weeks. This was my experience. There was multiple instances in which HIPAA guidelines have been violated by Jeannie, the executive director. It's concerning to know that someone who has the authority to hold someone accountable for violating HIPAA guidelines is setting the example that it's something that is acceptable. I was in the kitchen cooking along with the chef, and clients/staff walking in and out. She admitted that she was at fault for taking a personal call at the dining room table and confirmed that she did in fact see that there were other people in the room while she disclosed a patient's medical history, including their full name.The HIPAA guidelines have continued to be violated even after I expressed their concern. There have also been microaggressions stated by this individual like assuming a client doesn't speak English because they speak multiple languages and stating they dont look like their ethnicity and specifying what ethnicity they "look like". More than often she is not updated on the patient's progress. There's a level of professionalism that is not being met. I don't believe it's appropriate to comment on one's progress without doing their due diligence to have the most updated information before inserting her opinion/suggestions. There is also a lack of communication when changes are happening. For example, when Norma, the in person therapist was no longer with California Mental Health it was never something clients were made aware of. All the clients were in the dark waiting for her return. Clients were told by the director that there was additional support coming in so that we would have more support. It was worded as if Norma would be coming back. The fact that she was gone was not acknowledged. There hasn't been a therapist in California Mental Health for six weeks. The accommodations and support on the website do not provide a realistic expectation of what it's like to stay here. Unfortunately, not every insurance covers clients to stay here so potential clients should make an informed decision before paying an insane amount to basically live in what felt like an Airbnb with roommates. Most of my stay consisted of no groups and down time. With that being said, the website should describe a more realistic expectation. Groups don't happen most of the time. There is a lot of down time to the point where you are better off renting out an airbnb at a more affordable cost. There is a lack of communication by both Jeanne and the program director, Josh. The staff is often unaware of changes and left in the dark about daily client activities. Josh is not reliable with client requests. It typically takes about a week of constantly asking before there are any art supplies approved/delivered. Example #2 Instead of fixing the master bathroom California Mental Health thought it would be appropriate to provide pliers to turn on/off the bathtub.Its interesting that they will confiscate any "sharp" objects including tweezers, but find giving clients pliers acceptable. This ended up causing a massive water spill which a client ended up fixing temporarily while the plumber came to the house. Example #3 Clients were also put in an uncomfortable living situation due to a new client consistently banging their head on the walls. Both the staff and clients expressed their concerns which were completely brushed off. We were all forced to deal with outbursts. It did not feel like a safe environment. Example #4 I was uncomfortable sharing a room with my roommate due to very intense outbursts and was put in a position to address the room change directly with the roommate even after expressed my concern. This led to a lot of tension in the house. The other client turned very passive aggressive towards me even after moving rooms. It is unfortunate that a place one goes to find peace there is an overwhelming amount of added stress. This is not a residential home I would recommend to anyone. I would like to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to the A.M/P .M/NOC staff. They were all angels! If it wasn't for their kindness and genuine personalities I would have left. They went above beyond in all aspects.

I have been suffering from an irrational fear of public speaking for as long as I can remember. I…read moreavoided it for years and finally came to the realization that it was hindering my professional career along with my sense of self. I finally got angry with the situation and realized that I needed some help. Not knowing anything about hypnotherapy, I decided to give it a try and found Paz on Yelp. I was attracted to her offer of a "30-day fix" because I didn't want ongoing therapy for years and years with no end in sight. Within one hour (seriously), she was able to get to the root of the problem - the moment when the first "domino" fell and led me down the path to self-doubt and insecurity. After the initial session, Paz had me listen to a custom-made audio recording every morning after waking and every night before going to sleep. 30 days later, I was in a completely different headspace. Hypnosis wasn't what I thought it was based on tv and the movies, it's far more subtle....but it worked. I was able to deliver the speech. And while I was a little apprehensive, there were no feelings of dread or nausea. My voice held steady, I could breathe easily, and I could deliver the message. I consider myself a fairly cynical person so the very idea that, after a lifetime of dread and terror of public speaking, I could calmly deliver a speech was simply unreal. Paz delivered as promised and I will be eternally grateful. I truly feel as though a door has been opened and my true self was able to walk through and be free. I wish I'd found her years ago.

Admittedly, I was skeptical and unsure about hypnotherapy, but decided to reach out for a consultation. Paz immediately put me at ease and described the therapy and her technique in a manner that I could process. I was concerned that I would not be in control during hypnotherapy, but she explained that is not the case at all. The best way I can describe the experience for me, was a very powerful guided meditation. She took me down a deep subconscious path, which unlocked the source of my OCD and germophobia that had plagued me for years. After several sessions and using her recorded reinforcement tapes, I am proud to say that say that these issues no longer quietly control me. It's been 5 months since my first session, and I have not digressed. Paz has a good soul, understands people, and makes you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering hypnotherapy. Mike

I had to force myself to hold in my urine for 24 hours. 2. Despite my cautioning that I have a retainer set that's very expensive and inconvenient to obtain, one of the staff didn't know and threw it away. What's upsetting was that when my parents and I ask the staff to search for it, they didn't bother searching for nearly an entire day and after then, it was too late. The new set would take nearly a month and a whopping $500 to make.
