20 Best Psychology Grad Programs In Long Beach, CA (2022 Updated)

I wanted to add to this review, which was that I had read through these other reviews here on Google before I signed up for their programs and I have not gotten that experience. I put in the request on a Friday for two of the programs I finished and received TWO of my diplomas in the middle of the next week. I also live 4 hours away from the school, so it may be different depending on where you live. I have been taking online classes with them since the pandemic started. It takes a lot of dedication but I've earned my certificate in Health Administration, my Associates degree in Health Information Technology, and I'm in my last semester for my Bachelors in Healthcare Management. Since I've been here, I've learned a lot and I feel very prepared for the workforce, a completely different field than what I was in before. I found some of the classes I have taken to be very interesting and fun. The instructors are awesome and so are the staff I have met over the phone so far. I've had an overall wonderful experience since I've been here and I have definitely been talking about them to everyone I know.Nikki Rose

I LOVE this school it has been a great catalyst for the positive direction of my life and career. With Fremont College I have my Massage Therapy Sports and Rehab AS and my Healthcare Admin and Management BS. I don't know too many people that can confidently say they use their degrees. I 1000% do! I am still a massage therapist and the sports and rehab knowledge gives me a competitive edge. My Bachelor's degree has helped me to progress into management roles in current field with confidence. I always say I have gotten so far in life thanks to this school and not going the tradition university route. It was very beneficial to me that the length of the programs were much shorter than traditional schools and that I was able to apply what I learned almost instantly. If you're hesitating about making this investment in yourself, knowledge and career. DONT! Don't hesitate! JUST go see the campus and meet the amazingly supportive staff and educators.Jamerie Michalek

The instructors here are great, they all have their own teaching styles and try their best to make sure everyone is on the same page. I loved how they offered opportunities to go into the field to gain some experience.Elias Ruiz

I am currently in my 3rd quarter at AUHS. So far, my experience here has been amazing and I have met lots of students that have become my friends and study buddies. I admit, the nursing program is hard just like one would expect. Nothing comes easy, you have to work your way up to get where you are. It is hard, but if you talk with your professors regarding your concerns in a class, they will definitely give you tips and help you out. Also, take advantage of the tutoring and read, read, read!! You won’t learn anything if you do not read and understand the material yourself! I did not get to meet the staff right away due to the pandemic, but once I did, they were very welcoming just like how they were in the online orientations and meetings. They definitely take the students’ feedback into considerations and make sure you are heard. So far, the staff I have met in the Student Services is Ms. Alma, the registrar. She is always there in the office when you need to talk to her or have any questions. I usually go to her when I have questions (even thru email) and she will direct you to the best person that can help you with whatever concern you may have. Other faculties/staff I have met are Ms. Venus, Ms. Carlet, Professor Carter, Professor Marco, and Professor Flores! They have all been amazing to me, especially this quarter. I believe that the professors here want you to learn and succeed in the best way possible, even if this program is rigorous and challenging.Coleen Mendoza

I have been in the BSN program since 2016 and after facing many trials and tribulations as a nursing student, I can confidently say that this school is challenging and forces you to prioritize school work and a strong work ethic. AUHS prepares you to be the best nurse you can be in the real world. Dr. Atienza has been the best dean that the school has had in the last couple of years. He truly cares about students success in the program. I've had the pleasure of encountering such great personnel such as Alma from Student Services. Professor Bobbie carter is a great teacher who listens and advocates for student concerns. There also a handful of instructors who genuinely care for students learning and success. This school encompasses Christian values and applies them into community events, as a way to give back. I am to graduate this summer and I'am grateful for a second chance, the relationships I have formed in the nursing community, the learning material/resources and the amazing staff who've helped guide us in transitioning into future nurses.Zuleima Espinoza

I’m a current student here at AUHS, and so far, I haven’t really felt a significant complaint about the school. I have anticipated the challenge of the program, especially during the pandemic. It’s an intensive program; students must work hard as it is not an easy field to be in later on. I’ve always been told nursing requires students to allot time, focus, and critical thinking skills to succeed, especially in an accelerated program like AUHS’. One thing I can confidently say about this school is, they have such a fantastic staff. Student Services and Admissions are exceptional. Miss Alma in student services and Miss Maria in admissions are the best; they always cater to my needs every time I visit their offices. They always make sure I leave their offices having all my concerns answered. So I recommend them both if you decided to visit their departments!Mikko Arceno

I've obtained my master's and in the final stages of completing my doctorate at Saybrook in the Mind Body Medicine program (now called Integrative health science, I believe). Attending this school has been a game changer for me personally and professionally. The caliber of people who attend the school are incredible and it opens ones professional networks and capacities for creative work. The school is well organized. The hybrid model of education, which entails residential academic retreats and online working and collaboration is in sync with the changing world of education. Education is a personal choice and if Saybrook's educational offerings are what you are interested in, I would highly recommend considering this school.Kari Allen-Hammer

I have been a Masteral Student in this school for the last 3 semesters and I totally love the experience. The faculty members are excellent, and the best and most respected in their field. Classmates are wonderful, scholarly, intelligent and hard working. Administration answers all queries within 24-48 hours. This school has changed my life for the better. I have just finished all my Masters degree requirements and I plan to continue in this school for my PhD.Robin Velasco

Edit: Over $100k for their Psychology PhD program… and not even APA accredited. I know APA is not required in some states but I I know of other non APA PhD programs that are literally half the cost of Saybrook’s. I like that they’re non profit, regionally accredited & offer some interesting programs but they are pretty expensive… you can get a Harvard masters degree for less than their masters programs..Josh Esc

My Wife goes here and it is possibly the most frustrating thing for me to watch… This school is honestly a huge scam. I really dont know how else to put it. They will charge you INSANE amounts of money for these classes (well over 200K for the Masters program after interest) and you "professors" are in the PHD program. what is that? I am not saying that they have some legit teachers and a few students teaching, I am saying that nearly ALL of the teachers are students. Let me be very clear about this, the teachers are HORRIBLE. The faculty is HORRIBLE. We just found out today that they didn't report to my Wife's FedLoan for our students loans that she was still enrolled and taking classes. What this means is, now FedLoans thinks that we are no longer in school, and that our loan is no longer differed. When she emailed the school faculty, they said this was HER responsibility…. are you kidding me? so we pay 60K per year before taxes for you to have students teach classes for $10 an hour… NOT submit proper paperwork to FedLoans and have absolutely zero leadership at the helm… When my Wife attended a "town hall" meeting with the Dean of the CA campuses, she asked when all of the grandiose things that were promised in admissions would be taking place… such as observation rooms on campus, real life experiences etc etc, and what did the Dean tell her? he said "if you would like to see these things happen, than you should initiate them yourself and start them up yourself"…. really? THAT is your answer to the student that is paying TOP dollar to go to this school? oh, and we just found out today thru some super vague email, that the Dean stepped down…. Please, trust this frustrated husband, DO NOT go to this school… I am a smart person… seriously TRUST ME…Adam

(UPDATED after completing doctoral coursework) My experience has been outstanding. This is a five-star institution, through and through. After completing my PhD coursework here, I can say this school really did deliver on promises and I feel lucky to have been part of this program. Our classes have top notch professionals from Southern California and various major US cities who fly in for the executive format, on-ground business psychology doctoral program. Faculty have been top caliber for the area, coming from academia and professional practice. I leave classes inspired and energized. I entered with my MBA and 10 years in my field. This is a program for people with work experience. It is not for folks who want school directly from undergrad with an internship, although they accommodate that with various master's programs. This program has been one of the strongest positive forces for me life. I matured so much, professionally and psychologically. If I could go back in time to choose where to do my doctoral coursework, or whether to pursue doctoral studies at all, I would stay at Chicago School in LA to do it all the same way. The big question for me was whether to focus on research or practice, since I already had work experience and could decide how big of a pivot the doctorate would be. Students from this program go into academia and industry. This school is really big on diversity, service, community, and academics. I went to a big school for undergraduate work. Between all the different departments, people, and majors, it was easy to lose myself. Chicago School is focused, so here, it was easy to find myself.Benjamin Theisen

One of the best decisions I ever made in my academic career. Faculty members,at least most that I have met and had as professors, are educated, supportive, tense, and knowledgeable within their fields. Many of the professors own their private practices and work independently outside of the school. Students are challenged and they will not be baby because it will not work and they better hope to not get kicked out of here.Dominique Bryant-Freeland

This museum apparently has a very good arts administration program for students. How do I know this? Several years ago, I chanced upon the museum at a fortuitous time: 1) Lou Reed, who had recently died, I believe, had a sonic/accoustic sort of sound room that I was able to enter with with a pal who is a retired Hollywood sound engineer; 2) Babette Mangolte, who has done some camera work for, among others, Jean Pierre Gorin and, I believe, Chantal Akerman, was not only hung–her work, folks, not her….–but also supported by the aforementioned museum administrators in training, who handed out white gloves that had to be used to finger Ms. Mangolte's work. O.K. That was a bit much for me. And the best of her nude NYC art happenings photography work from the seventies as photography at that particular exhibit is not my favorite homage to Marcel DuChamp's 'Nude Descending a Staircase.' But guess what? Mangolte's work was well placed. It was not only right around the corner from the Lou Reed sound cave, but also near some interesting photographs of places in or near decay. There was a haunting photograph of a piano of Elvis's at Graceland at the museum right between Lou Reed's sound room and the Mangolte exhibit. A grand or a baby grand. With real Tennessee light. And a bad carpet. Just like some of the King's hair dos sometimes. In any case, I was reminded of the beauty of that shot of Elvis's piano when I saw a shot or two that would make magnificent movie stills from Robert DuValle's and Robert Downey, Jr.'s recent "The Judge." DuValle meets Downey, Jr. in an Indiana funeral home near the beginning of the movie. There is a shot of a casket in the back that is DuValle's wife and Downey, Jr's Mother and some funereal flower arrangements and one character who knows both the Father–played by DuValle–and his son–played by Downey, Jr.–going out of a door to the left of the frame as the viewer watches. Boy. That light and those flowers and that casket and the scenario had everything to do with Elvis in this University Art Museum at Cal State Long Beach the day I was there and then some. And as for nudes descending a staircase, there was some apt still motion kind of photography. Of a figure showing and not showing through wood slats. Amazing stuff. And in the back of the museum was great conceptual art. The best, in fact, because not at all intended: A small, glass room encased mini-library of catalogues of past exhibits at this museum and at others and a computer at which one can access the visual arts. A repository of art that was unvisited. Empty computer just like Elvis's piano was empty; just like Lou Reed was recently deceased and reminiscent now as I write this of the coffin in "The Judge." A museum within a museum. A hall of mirrors of fun shows former and future. So now go and see!…Not just it. But all of them. The works and the artists. And, if you get hungry or thirsty, there is an excellent student coffee and sandwich place right around the corner. And there is plenty of disabled parking and it is close to the museum and to the student outdoor cafe.JeanneMarie T

This is an otherwise excellent museum that has debased itself by permitting a major donor to fund the permanent exhibition of their incredibly mediocre art. The university should be ashamed it has consigned itself to this agreement in perpetuity. Absolute shills for the donors patronage. And of course the donor is just as shameless. Read about it in the LA times titled ‘The artist in CSULB’s new exhibit is a major donor. That’s bad, and so is the art’Thomas

If your a college student looking for something to do on campus look no further. Friendly staff and great environment. Exhibits change every semester so there is always something new to see. Plus it's free. The museum also host other events so it's good to stop by and see if there is something going on you might be interested in.Sven A

I worked with both Dr. Godot and Tim Leslie in the past for over a year and I found both of them to be very professional and knowledgeable. In my experience, both are very compassionate and know what to say to when an empathetic ear is needed. Depending on what the person is looking for, both also know how to be direct when asked to be and are honest in sessions. They care immensely for the wellbeing for their clients and colleagues.Valerie Nolte

Worked with him for years and his techniques for dealing with individuals that have gone through traumatic events/ experiences has been really in-depth, his assessments along with his therapy has helped many clients grow. The fact he listens and allows them to talk and express themselves about it in a therapeutic setting. He has been able to allow individuals to be comfortable and know there safe.tamara askew

The offices are beautiful, and the therapists are extremely well-trained, thoughtful, and compassionate. A great place to go in all ways.James R

I worked with The Reiss-Davis Graduate School for several years and I always found the school and its administration to be honest, helpful and always placing the needs of their graduate students first. A wonderful and caring non-profit organization.Jeong Kim

I attend the Reiss-Davis post-graduate fellowship program, which uses some of the instructors and material from this Graduate School. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and supportive and I would not hesitate to attend the PsyD program here.TJ Tuton

Warm and welcoming environment – the staff and faculty are committed to providing the best psychodynamically-focused educational experience to students.Katherine Smith

I worked in this office before starting in my own Private Practice. Since then I have referred many clients to them. I can speak intimately of the sincerity and care their clients receive; these people care about you and want you to succeed. Each case is treated uniquely; treatment plans are thoughtful and personalized. Ensuring the client feels empowered, safe, and celebrated was at the center of most of our case consultations. It is also worth noting that most referrals make it a point to reach out and thank me for sending them to Long Beach Therapy. The owner and head-therapist Amie Lowery-Luyties is the real deal; she is in it to help people and hires solid people to help her achieve that goal. And she treats her therapists with respect; and we all know you get better service when the person providing that service feels appreciated by their employer. 5 stars all around.Jose Gaspar

I called LB therapy on behalf of my friend. Amie went above and beyond to answer all my questions and process of how things works. You can tell she is very passionate on helping people. I very much appreciate her giving us all the information we needed to do what we have to do. Thank you Amie!💗Jennifer Banuelos

I went to several different therapists before Amie and no one helped me like she has. She listens and provides suggestions that actually help.sandy houston

The Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology is an outstanding institution that provides excellent academic programs. I like that the programs are values based and meaningful preparing graduates to make a difference in the world. I have been a volunteer for many years within the Advisory Board for the MA in social entrepreneurship and change and I more recently joined the staff. I highly recommend all GSEP programs!Luke Phillips

Alejandro is one of the most compassionate therapist/educational psychologist my family and I have worked with. He is attentive, kind, and sincere. He makes sure to touch base with me every step of the way. He was able to guide us with our daughter's educational and mental health needs. He has been working with our daughter for the past 3 months and we have seen a marked improvement in her well being. Thank you Alejandro! I highly recommend him for both psychological evaluations and therapy.Annette “Annie” Sihvonen

I applied to the adult studies program to finish up my bachelors degree in late 2010. This means I actually attended classes at a satellite campus, not the main campus in Azusa. The satellite facilities are excellent and your graduation ceremony is held at the same time as the convention students. This was a very touch, in that it facilitated family coming to see your college graduation. Although I only visited the main a few times, somehow they make you feel connected to the entire university. I was extremely pleased with the caliber of instruction that each instructor provided. Every aspect of this school is well managed and professional. I completed a bachelors degree Human Development and successfully transitioned into a teaching credentialing program at a state school. I read some reviews below giving the school one star…. the reasons should not be a surprise…. "they don't approve of same gender relationships", "they have strict rules"…. Well, yes, it is a Christian college and they CLEARLY point out what they believe and what they reinforce when going through the admissions process. In the end, this school is a great choice, if you are looking for a college that has very low teacher to student ratios, this is it. If you are looking for a school that is safe for you or child, this is it. If you are looking to complete your bachelors, but can't make it Azusa, look into one of their satellite campuses.Marcos Nunez

I honestly don't know what Azusa Pacific University staff members do all day. I wonder if APU staff work hard enough to earn their salaries. I am a current Azusa Pacific University student who was accepted for admission in the middle of June. I requested a transfer credit evaluation more than one month ago, but it took MORE THAN A MONTH for APU staff to begin my transfer credit evaluation. Their lame excuse is that they have not received a required form that must be submitted. APU staff did NOT inform me that my transfer credit evaluation was taking a long time because of a change in administration (a new dean). I am STRONGLY considering transferring to a different school, one in which I can receive PERSONALIZED ATTENTION. Zero stars for Azusa Pacific University staff!!!! If I could give NEGATIVE five stars, that's what I would do!!Samuel CHOI (Sam)

I would have given this school a better review however the way they have handled covid has made me lose so much respect for this school. They have made the students lives a living hell, class is not only mandatory but your camera has to be on and if it’s not we don’t receive credit for class. If we have more than a certain amount of absences they take up to 3% off of our grade for every additional absence… ridiculous. Not to mention they raised tuition for students instead of giving us some of our money back because of the certain circumstances. They will find any way possible to charge you money. Even if you miss chapel they charge you money! RidiculousBrooke Bietz

My son did his MS here for two years. We couldn't see his university when he was studying and on his convocation in 2020 because of covid. So we decided to visit it now. The campus is so vast some say over 200 acres…that my son drove us through the university. Beautiful layout, the Japanese garden and the pyramid are landmarks of the university. As a state university it's very affordable. There are lots of student housing around. There are different sections of university for each branch of learning with huge buildings. The long beach bus service is free for students. According to my son the staff is great and so are the classes. Student recreation center and medical facilities free for students. My son enjoyed learning in this university and we were impressed to see it…..👌🏼👌🏼🙂🙂👍🏻Sagar Gosavi

My experience at CSULB as an international student: —I majored in Studio Art so I spent a lot of time in the studio and outside just to look at the nature for inspiration. — CSULB has a beautiful campus with people from all over the world. School of Art is on upper campus. So it’s a bit of a walk from students parking. — I had the opportunity to work at the pyramid, a state of the art volleyball/ basketball facility. Really interesting building! — International department is helpful but it seems like they are overloaded. — All the advisor are helpful and willing to work with you, so I really appreciate that. Thanks CSULB for having me!Minh Anh Emma Tran

Park view dorms. No AC during heatwave. We had two window fans, two desk fans and two floor fans. The temperature inside the dorms was 95* at 10:00 PM. Try studying and sleeping in that heat. Trash cans overflowing outside of dorms. Cockroaches on walls. Ant infestation inside dorm rooms. Art building has no AC. Third world country conditions in So Cal. Absolutely disgusting. They serve left over meals from the previous day. Example: Fajitas was served two days in a row. The second day they ran out of tortilla’s and chips so they served mashed potatoes with the fajitas. Yum! No excuses. Fix the issues CSLB.Brad howard

One of the crown jewels of CSULB, the Horn Center houses the largest collection of computers in the entire CSU system. Pretty breathtaking to say the least. Beyond the computer lab, there is a large common seating area, fit for several purposes. Opposite the largest california state university computer lab is a lovely tutoring center. past that is the art museum! the horn center is truly a place im proud to call home.Annika Segelhorst

They were never consistent with therapy. The groups weren’t helpful. I had many friends who went there as well and they agree. If you are going/sending your child to a PHP/IOP please send them to Discovery Mood and Anxiety. This program was dangerous and neglectful for me and my friends. The treatment was more triggering than helpful.Jupiter Valentine

I was apart of Ram's first intensive yoga teacher training in the summer of 2022. The only problem I had was that it didn't feel long enough time wise for me personally. I absolutely LOVED the incredible experience Ram gave to all of us in our class as we were the first in person training since the pandemic and I would've loved to have had it extended even further knowing how wonderful I felt being so present doing yoga together. He brought such an authentic, genuine & spiritual form to his yoga practice and teachings we learned about in class and I truly felt so good being in studio with my other fellow classmates having Ram as our instructor learning these lessons from. He knew exactly why & how to teach us from a traditional origin which I deeply valued and appreciated. I highly recommend him & LBSOY as your first choice for a YTT if you are local or even farther out like I was. Definitely worth the longer commute coming and going every week for me. Thank you again for the life transformative experience you led Ram. It will always be something I remember, have fond memories of to cherish & long to experience yet again in whatever other facets I do in this lifetime! NamasteVictor Valentin

This yoga training has been a wonderful, life-changing experience. My time spent at LBSOY brought a zen to my life outside of classes along with a life-long yogi tribe. Ram is extremely knowledgable on the history, theory, philosophy, and psychology of yoga, and the best part is how eager he is to share it with you. He has a true love and passion for the art and lifestyle of yoga, and it transfers to us students. I love that Ram's training is not the typical training you would get from a yoga studio chain. You learn from a more traditional approach with Integral Yoga, Ayurveda, Yoga Sutras, and Meditation, but are also trained in Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, and etc. You also get to go on a stellar retreat where you eat, breathe, and sleep yoga for a weekend! My knowledge, practice, passion, and love of yoga has deepened tremendously thanks to Ram's training course. It was a welcoming, safe, and healing experience that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else!Ashlee Blosser

Long Beach School of Yoga (LBSOY) has been a life changing experience for me. This course came at a time when life was filled with extreme stress and hard life changes. Ram's wisdom and gentle teaching style was perfect and really helped deepen my love of yoga which gave me the strength to make it through some hard times. The teaching was well rounded and had a lovely pace. I really appreciated Ram's real life experience he shared in his teaching that helped give a deep understanding of what he was teaching. The course gives a great appreciation and understanding of the deep inner workings that go on when you bring yoga into your life. I am so excited to share all I have learned and continue to learn more with an open heart and mind. Thank you Ram for your wisdom and caring support you give your students. You are a great teacher and I am so thankful that I chose your class to begin my journey.Stephanie P

This place provides horrible customer service! I've been holding for 30 minutes and have yet to speak to a single person! This is the problem these days, since everyone has gone to online, automated customer service. The bottom line is all human contact is absolutely gone, which means I'm now frustrated and angry, and all I'm trying to do is ask about registering for a class in the fall. I am horrified by the decline at LBCC! I'm a graduate of LBCC and can recall when Beverly O'Neill was running the school. This type of customer service would never have occurred. So much for technology and "progress"!Rob Vazquez

Staff think they have power over you , Mandatory vaccine uploads or else you get kicked out . Cant go any where with out a screen sticker even if you loose it gotta wait in line to get another one, need face covers in but if you take it off to walk alone and no where near any one the mask nazis will remind you seem like they are power drunk . Not a fun place to be maybe I'll try El Camino next time .Kedrick Ferguson

Amidst the craziness of the Covid moment : whatta breath of fresh air. My experience with setting up, prepping for, and general anxiety has been overwhelming. Thank God for our city leaders instituting this process. This was way better/painless than I'd expected — arrived 15min early. Personnel very helpful = process, smooth, quick, and results will be emailed in 2-3 days.ant c

Went to Veterans Stadium motorcycle swap meet lots of vendors lots of motorcycle parts for all makes and models swap meet at the end of each month on Sunday you ever have a chance are you need something for a bike or you would like to build a b definitely you would find it here. One reason why I went to pick up a ticket for born free Saturday the grass they're all sold out. But I will be there June 25th Saturday from 10 to 5 hope to see you there. Jd outJames Gutierrez

Here for the antique flea market, fun to walk and see some of the creative one of a kinds you can find here. However, there was one selling benches that were made with a 2×6, simple all the way, $175. No. For a little more another vendor had gorgeous natural wood, sturdy top and legs. Wish I'd taken a photo. Definitely a must see place to go. Third Sunday of the month, wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen with a hat.Loreta G.A.

Horrible professors that do know what they are doing and don't care about students. My car was scratched badly by someone and the campus police didn't care. Literally no security or police doing their job but they are quick to issue citations. Counselors also don't know what they are doing and misguided you towards you educational plan. I will not spend my time and money here anymore. Horrible institution!!!JJ

My (now) husband and I began working with Jeff back in 2011 when we were dating and newly living together. We are now married with two young children, and regularly meet with Jeff for "tune ups" and sessions to fine tune our marriage and maintain our communication/connection. Jeff has helped my husband understand how I process and express myself (as I am the more emotional partner) and our communication skills have grown leaps and bounds since we were first together. Our time with Jeff will only be ending as our family will be moving back to Oregon, and we are heartbroken to be ending our time with him. Jeff is compassionate, experienced, empathetic, supportive and values his clients and their journeys. I remember calling him for the initial session in an emotional/low moment, and he personally took my phone call and simply encouraged me to come in for support, rather than stress about fees and scheduling details. That was a game changer during such a hard time. I should add too that I myself am now a licensed Therapist (LMFT), so I know good therapy when I see it We recommend Jeff to all our married friends and think everyone would benefit from couples work. Jeff has made my husband feel welcome and not judged (two therapists in the room, gah!), but he is also direct and honest. My husband is a definitely mans-man, so therapy wasn't quite his cup of tea, but he knew we needed support. My husband now sings Jeff's praises and tells all of his guy-friends that Jeff is "worth his weight in gold" and that everyone should go to therapy! If that doesn't tell you how helpful he has been, I don't know what will. Give him a try, hopefully he'll be a great fit for you and can give you the support you need.Megan Murphy

I started working with Jeff in Summer of 2013. At the time, i was getting out of a really bad relationship and was having panic attacks almost every other day. Long story short, I was rapidly reaching rock bottom. Jeff is truly the best therapist that I have ever worked with (and there have been several). He has a wonderful mix of empathy and sympathy, but also holds me accountable (in a kind but productive way) and puts things into words in a way that really resonated with me. I do not do well with my emotions – I am more rational, and he was able to explain my emotions in a rational way so that I could understand them better. While I do not need as much help with my emotions or panic anymore (after many years with Jeff), I still see him 1-2 a month for a check in and to bounce issues that arise from time to time at work or in my personal relationships. His advice is invaluable to me, and I do not even want to know what my life would have looked like if I had not started working with Jeff. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!Jennifer Meeker

Jeffrey Salinas is a fantastic therapist and marriage counselor. My husband and I were experiencing a rocky patch not too long ago and finally decided to give counseling with Jeff a try– I'm so glad we did! Sessions with him made an immediate difference. He gave us assignments and taught us strategies to communicate better and deal with conflict more effectively. He is understanding and sympathetic, while also being very honest and straightforward, which is really valuable. My marriage is much better now, but I still see Jeff because this experience has helped me grow a lot and I want to keep working through some of my own stuff. I've learned that it can take time to find the right therapist, but once you do, it makes a world of difference. If you're looking for help or need someone to talk to, give Jeff a try, he's terrific!Catherine Nguyen

This review is for Duncan S Wigg III and Margarita McLaughlin. I can't tell you how grateful I am to both of you for all that you have done for me. As someone who has sought therapy at different points in my life for depression and co-dependency………..Margarita is a phenomenal therapist that anyone would be fortunate to have. Thank you Peppperdine, thank you you Dr. Wigg, and a very big thank you to my Super Therapist !Dan M

Beautiful campus with some amazing people working there and some even more awesome students. Such an underutilized outdoor space with fire pits, basketball courts, pool tables, ping pong tables and more! Beautiful scenery and great hangout/study spot too 😊 Also there is a great gym there 💪Bo Waltz

There was a dean from this school who went to my job, accusing us of trying to steal his cheap broken pos old phone, when on the contrary, we all had newer and better phones thanks his old cruddy one. So because of that, have a one star.Bad Drivers Of LA
