I normally don’t do reviews of places, as you can tell from my post history, but I had an awesome experience with my therapist. I’m not adding his name specifically because I’m not sure if he’d want that. He was kind, listened, and pushed back at the moments I needed push back. I better understand myself thanks to his skill as a clinician. I made tremendous strides in understanding my negative self talk and recovering self esteem I lost from past traumas. I truly feel like I have grown into a happier and more self assured pe... read more

I’ve given this counseling service multiple chances, trying several different therapists over time, but unfortunately, my experience has consistently been disappointing. The therapists I encountered seemed unprofessional and inexperienced.

While I found it easy to and quick to be match with a therapist here, the quality of their counselors is lacking. I had my worst experience ever with a therapist at Westside (which seems to have been sold to Lifestance). Instead of offering "loyalty and protectiveness" as mentioned in her profile, she berated me and belittled almost every session. She got very upset and defensive when I told her that I no longer wanted to work with her. I stopped doing therapy altogether until I found Golden Vibes. Not only do I find that t... read more
