20 Best Psychology Grad Programs In San Diego, CA (2022 Updated)

As a current student at Platt, there have been two things that have really stuck out to me about this college. A big thing I've enjoyed and really noticed at Platt is how incredibly passionate about teaching and the subjects they teach the teachers are. They genuinely care about each and every student and only want what is best for each of us. The teachers also all have industry experience and are only want to teach the most up to date and important stuff to help students succeed after graduation. Another thing I have truly enjoyed about Platt is the family atmosphere the school has. Everyone is always willing to help everyone and the school has a very laid back atmosphere. Despite this though, the school finds ways to push you harder than you've probably ever been pushed. I've learned an incredible amount of valuable knowledge about not just what I'm studying, but also about the industry and life in general. I have attended community college, and a big state school (Ball State) besides Platt and of the three Platt is my favorite, the state school I felt like I was just another student, I meant nothing to the teachers, at community college, the teachers were passionate but they lacked the proper funding to provide us with the proper equipment necessary. Platt provides all the equipment I need to succeed, and the teachers all know my name and make me feel important. This is why I would recommend Platt to anyone interested in the fields of Digital Media and Design.Sean Hunsche

Filmmaking finally feels accessible to me because of Platt College!! I am a Digital Media major focused on video production. Platt took all of my previous credits and is a veteran friendly school that offers a full time, yet flexible schedule. Platt uses hands-on learning to teach editing software like Premiere Pro and After Effects, but also gives students access to industry standard production equipment like a sound recording booth, a green screen room, and an entire equipment room. Each class focuses on the student building a portfolio. I now know how to create amazing special effects and my own industry level sound. And let’s talk about the campus! It’s small, easy to navigate, and parking is ample around the school when the lot is full. The campus has a cool vibe, it’s comfortable, tons of bathrooms, vending machines, and an open door policy with an amazing staff that cares about each student. Seriously, the school director has come to the screening of all of my class’s films! Not to mention the school always does cool, fun little things for holidays. We had a costume contest where winners won ACTUAL CASH, and a Valentine’s Day raffle with doughnuts! I’m so glad I found Platt. It’s a good school that gives you the tools and knowledge to achieve your dreams. I’ll catch you in the credits. Kimmy JusticeKimberly Justice

I had a great experience at this school, taking home my Associate and Bachelor Degree in three years time! This review though isn't going to be about the school but about a very special person named Celi Yankajtis, Career Services Director. Celi, along with all my teachers, have helped me become successful. Celi, in particular though, has helped me land TWO jobs. One for a startup app company and another recently at a local web marketing firm. I cannot thank her enough for the dedication and care she has for the students and their success. She truly loves her job and truly cares, the proof is with Alumni like myself. She continuously posts job openings in the schools career services job board and always goes above and beyond to help students find work, especially for those students who show the desire to succeed. I warn you though, DO NOT WASTE this woman's time! She truly is there for all the students but if you don't show effort yourself then you are wasting her time which she could be spending on students who want to succeed. Thank you Celi for being an amazing student advocate!!!G

I saw The Messiah here on Sunday. Campus is unbelievable and it was wonderful to feel God's presence on a school campus again. The entire production was amazing and I could not have enjoyed it more. It's very worth finding out more about the story of how it was written first, so when you watch it live you'll have a deeper appreciation. Parking is an issue here and make sure you go early when you do. You'll be greeted by a friendly face who can direct you from there. Who could ask for anything more?Kyle Whelehon

A whole lot has changed since I was attending here. The name of the mascot has changed. Also this was called Point Loma Nazarene College. Speaking of changes, one thing that hopefully hasn't changed is the cafeteria food, most college cafeteria food SUCKS…NOT HERE…the food is/was catered by Marriot. What an incredible location to go away to school. The campus as a whole is unbelievable. I didn't attend to long, only have fond memories of this college.Peter Johnson

Parent perspective!…. What a welcoming. Totally personal. Sincere. Heartfelt. You're not just a number here. The campus…clean, safe, many places to study outdoors. The view..are you kidding me?! Makes me want to go back to college. The faith…AUTHENTIC AND INTENTIONAL not just "Christian" in name only. Rigorous academics = challenge, growth, sharpening! Can't help but humbly gratefully brag my daughter is a student.Arnold Argao

Great school for a community college. I heard it’s the best around. Many students come from San Diego or from the North just to go here. They do a lot of things by hand (compared to other schools that do things electronically). The grounds are well kept. The parking is horrible during the beginning of the semester. More parking will be available as time comes. When you register for a class, you need to pay the same day or you get dropped. If you’ve dropped a lot of classes, the school might give you a hold because the classes are impacted. There is a daycare center. Parking permits and books are relatively cheaper than most.Aurora A

Good School. The campus is breath taking. Views of the ocean in the dining hall and surrounding areas. Tons of plants and trees all around, a great variety. Staff are helpful. Parking is a struggle, unless you don't mind parking in dirt lots but then it's not worth buying a parking permit. As for professors and academia, they could improve. Check professors ratings onlines some teach to only one or two learning styles. The classes are pretty easy. Maybe to easy.Michael

The Best Community College in San Diego !! The Environment Here Is Excellent…So Peaceful, Safe & Not To Mention Beautiful Surroundings. The Faculty & Professors Are Absolutely The Best..MiraCosta College Truly Cares About It's Students Sucess & Well Being…Definitely Planning on Getting Another Degree From MiraCosta. You Can Never Stop Learning!!Brian

I heard that USD is an excellent private university. They have highly accredited teaching, law, technology, language, environmental and psychology schools, as well as a number of others. I also heard that their physical education school is quite good. USD is one of our nation's top rated colleges in regards to higher education and just to get admitted, you must score fairly high on the SAT ( Taking the ACT can always helps too ) and presenting the admissions evaluation committee with a high school GPA that shows that you were in the top percentile of your graduating class is very beneficial; it also helps to have done some volunteer work and to have been on at least one or two high school committees. All of these combined together should help you gain admission to USD. This college is quite competitive-as are most of our best colleges nowadays. Most of USD's professors are seasoned-the best in our country-and very demanding; graduating in four years means a lot of hard work and can be a wearisome task and often taking a couple of summer session classes or a class or two during Christmas break can help one graduate within this time scale. They do offer scholarships however, these are difficult to get and student loans ( Federal Educational Grants can easily surpass fifty-thousand dollars a year! USD's tuition is at the high end of the scale, especially if you live off of campus ( The City of San Diego is amongst the ten highest priced "cost of living" metropolitan areas in the USA ). There are hundreds of nice condominiums, townhouses and apartments within the surrounding area however, the rental rates for a one to four bedroom unit start at about $900 to $1200 per room ( living together ) per month or about $2200 for a two bedroom townhouse/apartment, to $3500+ for a three to four bedroom ; I'm just giving you a general idea…it's a might expensive to live anywhere in San Diego. USD has many of the most beautifully designed buildings in San Diego; architectural masterpieces. Tourists who come to visit San Diego often include this private university in their sightseeing itinerary, as the photographic opportunities around this campus are simply marvelous; especially on a clear winter day from about early afternoon to sunset. They have a small visitors center, as you drive through their main entrance center and if you get lost, you should stop and ask a couple of students and they may be able to help you? There's a lot to see, including San Diego's famed Tecalote State Park, which lies just below the north side of this university.charles chiles

The campus is pretty. The teachers, at least those who are fluent in English, are mediocre, and those whose English language skills are very poor, are token so this campus can brag about being diverse. The dorms are so noisy that it is impossible to do any work in one's own room or get any sleep before 3 a.m. The people responsible for policing the dorms are too lazy and callously indifferent to do anything, and no matter how many complaints are made, it is a nightmare to live in the dirty, smelly and horribly noisy dorms. The religious classes, which are mandatory, are a total waste of time and not based on any accurate facts or historical accuracy. The head of the Student Health Center is dishonest and harmful, willing to smear any student she takes a hatred to. There are no responsible administrative officers to be found if you have a problem. This is not the place if you care about getting a solid and admirable education.Susan Lea

The University accepted my son to the credential program August 2011. After 2 years and more than $32000 in tuition he is not being allowed to do his student teaching because, in the opinion of some professors, he lacks the skills they require. These professionals (who demand that the credential candidates be able to reach and teach all students no matter what their learning styles or disabilities) should be knowledgeable enough to bring out the best in a young man who has wanted to be a teacher since in the seventh grade he was chosen by his teacher to tutor other students in reading. The professionals who are standing in the way of his dream need to evaluate their own teaching. What did they do to ensure my son's success in their program? What can they teach others when they themselves have failed as teachers?Mark Leonard

I'd like to think that because of Covid, there is a lack of help from this college. I have been trying my very best for the last month to do everything myself without the help from any employees at this college. I have not been contacted regarding how to get enrolled, registered, what classes I need, financial aid, etc. I have been struggling since I have submitted my application to this college. You basically have to figure out everything on your own which isn't hard for me to do because I was walked through the steps from my previous college who actually took the time to help me out. While I understand quite a few things, there are some things that I don't understand and that I have questions about but getting into contact with anyone at this college is very difficult. Even through emails, no one responds. This college lacks the skill for helping their future students. I believe that I have done everything necessary in order to be a student but getting in touch with a counselor is the biggest problem. Making an appointment with a counselor via zoom, is quite a struggle and I have messaged quite a few employees at the college but yet, I still haven't received any responses. I am about to give up and just try somewhere else although this college is very convient for me, it's not worth the struggle and hassle at this point. 😔Mary McDonald

Great atmosphere. Their financial aid office needs help though. I started my fasfa around May and I'm trying to get in for the fall. I sat down with the students that help you with the fasfa form online so I don't do it wrong. I had to wait for them to approve it. They told me to bring my parents IRS info, even though I used the retrieval tool. I had to do a dependent verification form. Turned in copies of those. Then asked for my W-2. Then they asked for another verification form. Just constantly asking me for things I turned in. It sometimes takes them weeks to let you know what's next. So I learned the hard way the previous year that they ask for these forms every semester. They didn't tell me until I was applying for another semester. First year student trying to figure them out. I lived in El Cajon when they were asking for forms making this process extra annoying. Apparently they had to restart the process for the new semester. Don't ask me why but this is the most annoying part of school. I advise making multiple copies of whatever they ask for IRS FORMS, W-2, AND TAX INFO. They'll ask for it next semester and start it months before to avoid lines. I'm grateful there is a financial office though or school would be ROUGH! Thank you. EDIT: THEY MOVED TO A 270PERSONAL

City College is represented by the San Diego transit people, MTS, as City College Trolley Station, a cave, possibly Plato's, remarkable for grime and an expansive range of social behaviors not common in the quiet halls of ivy and higher education. The City College Trolley Station, is, of course, the gateway of San Diego's always expanding skidrow that could be seen as starting here and continuing to 25th and Commercial. San Diego and the real estate community promotes skidrow as being the East Village, but it's not really so much a village as it is a refugee camp. And it is getting bigger every day and will one day engulf all of downtown and possibly as far into the neighborhoods as Hillcrest and North Park. City College Trolley Station is what San Diego is becoming, or is, and what could a college want more than to be so inextricably tired to the dramatic representation of San Diego's future , the (San Diego) City College Trolley Station?Range Cow

With more than 40 years in the University system, I have an extensive knowledge of campus life and degree programs. I evaluated 52 campuses before selecting Alliant International University for a PhD. The system offers diversity in majors, student body, as well as the faculty are academics and practitioners. I appreciate the instructional choices of face-to-face and online formats. I have completed both types of classes and the instructional quality holds steady in delivery and the students' ability to effectively learn. The overall strength of Alliant is also its ability to leverage resources for students. Belonging to a system is an advantage for all students. After I complete my degree, I plan to connect with the leadership teams for support, insight, and networking opportunities. Thank you Alliant International University.Becky Arce

Outstanding! The quality of instructors, methods, flexibility in classes, and collaboration with fellow PhD classmates were key to this great experience! I completed the basic PhD coursework in record time (while working full time). Also, the costs stayed well under my GI Bill cap. If you have money on the table from the GI Bill, consider getting your PhD from Alliant University. You'll be smarter for it!Bea Truesdale

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Alliant. I believe this degree prepared me for my graduate program, especially the research aspect. I'm currently attending a MPH program and feel prepared for most of the curriculum. There are hiccups along the way, as with any program. However, I highly recommend!Christina Faulk

Called today trying to get help for a friend. Mental illness is very real but unfortunately the people that pick up the phone for intake are heartless. Yan seems to have his life so figured out that he has kind compassion for people and truly wants to help. That’s why he works in the health care industry. I’m being very sarcastic. Asking if the person has insurance and what it is and then clearly hearing this arrogant scoff through the phone. If you are seeking help do not call them. If you are trying to help someone get the care they need, don’t call them. Call Aurora or Alvarado. And to those looking for help, I hope you find all the resources you need. People like them will try to defeat your journey. Keep pushing and keep calling until you find the support you need. Stay blessed.Glori Feliciano

I was very shocked by the disrespect from nurse Lorial L in the east wing. I am a guess coming to visit a patient. She has been rude on several occasions but I shrugged it off thinking maybe shes under stress…. But today she caught me off guard raising her voice at me talking in a disrespectful manner when I was leaving. I immediately let her know she was raising her voice and told her we can have a conversation but not to talk to me like that. She continued to have an attitude and closed the door in my face. Ive always had a good experience at sharp hospital. I can’t believe how unprofessional this nurse was acting!Shelisa Conner

They have, literally, saved my daughter's life twice now. Our family feels beyond blessed just knowing they are there. She has felt safe, cared for (really cared for and about) when she stayed. Clean, comfortable rooms and interesting groups, and as an added bonus the food was nice. As a parent of someone who's experienced PTSD from a very violent attack and subsequent drug addiction, I was lost as to how to help my beautiful daughter…they stepped in and like a dear friend, they wrapped their arms around her until we found the right place for her to further heal. Thank you so, so much, you are appreciated.Susan Jones

How do you know if you are really alive? I discovered it after feeling and observing the movement of my soul from the first moment I established contact with Alisha. She came into my life (and I got to her) at the right time. Our souls had known each other for a long time, however it was first through Instagram and then with the day to day, how this wonderful human being showed me the key of a closed door that had been a long time in front of me and that I didn’t know it was possible to open. There is a lot of good energy inside Alisha. That energy allowed me to start a trip from Mexico City to San Diego, to receive the wonderful gift that means a Reiki session with her. From the first moment I was in Fiercely Optimistic I was welcomed by Alisha with a look, a smile and a hug born from her soul and that made me feel back to my home. The Reiki sessions I have had with this special angel have been one of the best things that have happened to me in this life. That is, entering and leaving my own body, being able to travel to a mountain or a forest where I can really see my spiritual masters, my ancestors, and of course my most beloved ones. I have found many answers to my current life through the work that between laughter and tears of emotion I carry out every day with Alisha, either in person in San Diego (La Jolla) or remotely anywhere in the world where she or I are, the sisterhood and all the love that she gives is capable of transcending any distance, time and space. Alisha is my mentor, she is my guru, but above all she is that soul that has made the best of me come out. After every Reiki session or every real talk I have with her, people look at me differently, in fact I look at myself and feel different, stronger and happier than ever before. Just as I tell all the people I know, and you who now read me, I honestly can tell you, give your soul the chance to wake up and feel life as it should be, with a smile, with gratitude and compassion, with an open heart, live this unique experience of life with Fiercely Optimistic.Gabriela Aceves Villalba

Every experience I have had with Alisha has been powerful, to say the least. I've attended two healing circles with her, and each time I walked away with clarity and reassurance. She has an incredible capacity for patience and "realness" that is hard to come by. There is nothing fake about this chick! She has an amazing ability to, not just listen, but hear the messages between the lines of what you are saying. She can see through your crap. She gives it to you straight while at the same time creating a space where you feel safe and cared for. I most recently finished my Reiki level one training with Alisha, and I'm so glad that I did. I had been thinking about doing a Reiki training for over a year, but there was always something that had kept me back from taking the leap. I now know it was because I was waiting for Alisha to be my guide. It's been about a month now since I've been attuned, and it continues to reveal new dimensions to how powerful it is to be FIERCELY OPTIMISTIC. Alisha has and continues to help me let go of old limiting beliefs. I am eternally grateful to her.Michelle West

I am super happy to say Alisha is my life coach. I completed her six week program and am very pleased with the results, so pleased that I have decided to continue our sessions. Alisha has helped me to become my greatest cheerleader, find inner peace and decide that "this is it!" … this is the time to live a life that speaks to my passions, to unleash my creative powers, to love and trust myself fully! If you are looking for someone to bring similar inspiration to your life I highly recommend The Fiercely Optimistic Alisha, it has been such a treat to experience her guidance, perspective and all the lovely energy she has to share.Bianca Moore

This school is terrible. Their customer service and refund department is one of the worst I've dealt with.I had to drop classes and requested a refund but they changed their policies and it's been over two months and I still have not received my refund they keep changing their policies to avoid refunding my fees. I've asked to speak to the financial department supervisor and they say they only communicate via email. If you are planning on attending this school.. you may want to try somewhere else. These people are definitely not doing good business .maria Ramirez

I attend classes for the Business of Craft Beer and couldn't be happier with the instructors, the classes and not to mention that the campus is gorgeous.Donovan Alcantara

Amazing free classes! Great campuses with updated equipment. Why did I pay for my undergrad degree again? The only downfall is that some of the people in the classes may be a little slower to grasp concepts than others. Patience is a virtue when receiving free education.Joniene Swick

I've been to several places like this in the past but Talk Therapy w/ Seda and Jania BY FAR exceed any of the others. With their knowledge and care you're not just another client. They TRULY care about each and every client and you feel that, which in my past experiences, is not usually the case and b/c of this and many other reasons, they have helped me to FINALLY start taking responsibility (in many areas) and to help myself and actually USE so many of the vital tools that are discussed in group and so necessary for any kind of success. Group is small and intimate which, in my opinion at least, makes one feel much more comfortable and willing to participate vs larger groups that can sometimes be very intimidating and non-personal. I'm certainly not one that ever posts reviews on anything but truly felt in this case that I needed to as maybe someone considering this type of thing will (and should) give them a try. I HIGHLY recommend Talk Therapy!! Cal HCal Howard

Dr. Seda is a very authentic, caring , and engaged professional. She truly is passionate about helping people through their unique situations, and overall growth as an individual. She provides a comfortable open atmosphere that is very welcoming. She is an absolute professional at her work and strives to stand out in her field. If this falls into a category of something you are in need of make her office at Talk Therapy Psychology center your very first stop, and you'll need to look no further.Brian Pieper

The Talk Therapy Psychology Center is where I have HONESTLY found PEACE OF MIND! Dr. Gragossian and Jania Amir-Razavi offer the time and understanding that has help me grow and establish REAL TRUST like nowhere else. Even with ongoing pay issues with the VA/Tri-west, they are committed to helping and upholding the Medical Ethical Codes and Standards to the highest degree! I'm glad to know that real treatment is still available to all and especially to our service members!Timothy Harper

My experience at this place was rewarding. During my interview with Doctor Lipsitt, I was given the opportunity to express my feelings and talk about my past, and how it’s been affecting me in my everyday life. I felt saved when We talked, and I am glad we talked. He was professional and friendly. Whenever I said something he didn’t understand, he would ask me to repeat myself, which means he wanted to understand me and my situation. He was very attentive. Though the network became bad at some point, but he still found ways to work around it. At the end of the day, we successfully completed the evaluation, which brought some relief to me. Thanks Doctor Lipsitt!!OFARLEY

I am an acupuncturist and visiting lots of patients with variety issues including stress, anxiety and any other mental problem. I always refer them to the green room psychology group base on the great result that I personally got from Dr Neda.All of my patients were satisfied with the referral. So I felt that I should put a review here for those who really need to find a good group to get help. They provide a safe environment to be around, judgment free and care for the patients.Malia Ahadi

Working with Dr Neda has helped me too much. I initially sought a helper or advisor in my life and career as I felt stuck in a toxic situation in my life. However, getting help from Dr Neda, that had understood this situation in my life has helped me pass this problem and bring overall calm and awareness to my life. I have seen several therapists over the years and felt this was my best experience. I really appreciate Dr Neda for everything.Marjan Ahadi

There is high turnover at this counseling center so you will likely go through 2-3 counselors within a year or two. Every time there is a new counselor, you need at least 3-4 sessions to re-share your stories and your issues. These additional sessions and transitions are tiresome, and negatively impact your time, money, and energy. Acacia does not provide any sort of stipend for when you have to switch therapists since your old one has left, likely due to bad treatment of their staff. Additionally, the payment system is horrible. They will send you large statements even though they already have your copayment info, usually retro-dated. My statements were usually 10x the amount I would normally have to pay per session. I would get billed (not receipts, or statement summaries) $200 on a weekly basis, which was very worrying. I do not recommend seeking therapy at Acacia and would highly suggest you look somewhere else, unless you want to deal with their high turnover both for therapists and for staff. The high turnover for staff means they forget to do important tasks that effect your wellbeing, especially your financial wellbeing.Wendy C.

The Acacia clinic is very close and convenient for UCSD undergraduate and graduate students. Beyond convenience, the office staff are very friendly, kind and even use text-communication for setting up appointments. There's also the option for video conferencing if you can't physically come in. I have felt so much warmth at the clinic (very cool and newly renovated interior), and there's also a tranquility room you can check out. On top of that, there's free tea! and coffee! and water and cool sand to play with in the waiting room! My therapist has met all of my needs and goes above and beyond to provide me with the resources I need to thrive. Surely, this clinic has staff that can meet your specific counseling needs (including couple's counseling). 10 stars if I could!Mellissa Linton

Christine is the most invested psychologist I've had all my life. When I say my entire life, I have seen over ten psychologists. Every therapy session, I feel more in control of my life, as if I was finally focusing on a picture that was not clear. Words degrade my gratitude towards you and your work.Daniel Hain

I’ve worked with Chris for 5 years and he has been a very trustworthy, present, professional and honest therapist. I feel very comfortable and safe sharing everything and anything with him. Therapy with Chris has helped me build self-confidence, learn how to sustainably live life sober, and has given me the opportunity of having an intelligent, compassionate, grounded and friendly adult figure in my life throughout my struggles. All I can say is that I got out what I put into it, when I was vulnerable and honest with him he was able to help point me in the right direction relative to my goals. I have enjoyed learning/growing/changing with Chris as my counselor very much.GreenLenz

Chris has been my counselor for the last 4.5 years. I first went to him to help me as I going through a separation and then divorce. He really helped me to focus on my own issues and working on those. He uses many different techniques to help both himself and his clients understand the isues including giving specific books to read as well as deeper personality tests which help him be more effective. He is easy to talk to, follows up when he says he will and always has different great ideas to be tried. Even though he has moved to San Diego I will be keeping up my sessions with him due to how effective I have found him to be.Dwayne Codrington

Chris Chandler is an excellent and experienced therapist. As a fellow CSAT therapist, I've worked with Chris for years and observed how effective he is in connecting with his clients and supporting them in their recovery and healing. Chris has integrity, integrates his faith in Christ beautifully in his work, and sincerely cares for his clients. My experience is Chris is open to collaboration and has empathy for the partner's side of recovery and healing. If you have an opportunity to work with him, I'd take it.Shelley Bartels

Sammy is really good at what she does. She truly cares about her students and wants to help everyone with their health and happiness. Her background in psychology is incorporated in her practice, I sometimes joke that it's like going to therapy. I've attended several of her meditation and yoga classes, group and private. She sends helpful material and makes insightful recommendations, she is very positive and encouraging. I always feel more relaxed after her guided meditation, and she also helped me with stretches that successfully corrected pinched nerve pain that I had in my neck, so both physical and mental health benefits thanks to Sammy.David Tulchinsky

I took one Samantha's outdoor classes and I was really impressed with her knowledge of the body's movements. I have a Bachelors degree in Dietetics and Nutrition, Health Sciences, and Masters and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as 10 years of Experience as a Correctional Exercise Specialist in Personal Training. It is needless to point out that my knowledge of the body is somewhat thorough. For me, Quality is very important. And Samantha has a knowledge of Yoga movements that allowed me to get deeper into my impingements. Which is exactly what everyone needs.Ilyas Hamid

Sammy is an amazing yoga instructor. I've been taking her class every other morning and its improved how I feel immensely , both physically and mentally. I love the way she explains each movement, she makes the classes so approachable, even for beginners (although I would say I'm an advanced student, I don't get bored or feel like something's missing during class) each class is its own blessing.Brittney Rothal

HELP Therapist made it easy to find a most excellent therapist who helped me get through a horrible accident that incapacitated my ability to leave the house for five years. After I learned to walk again, my wonderful therapist used exposure therapy and relaxation and talking to get me back into society again. She was kind, caring, and learned alot from her. She made home visits weekly to make sure i was getting better. She used positive reinforcement and taught me how to relax and accept my condition. I love HELP services and recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their life.Loretta Buckner

This organization suffers from a money-driven and rude gatekeeper, Denise Z. Unfortunately, she fails to respond to multiple phone calls and automatically assumes people cannot afford out-of-pocket costs. Only when I shared that the out-of-pocket cost option was acceptable, did she offer to pass along my request to a therapist. We will see if she follows through, but given her poor attention to detail and lack of empathy, I'm not holding my breath.Lea C

The team at Help does a wonderful job of thoughtfully connecting the right providers to the right patients. Appreciate that this company looks to provide high quality therapy solutions with options to suit patients specific needs! Personalized and professional – you are NOT just a number as a patient or a provider.Jennifer Cavellier

I would definitely recommend Apex for recovery needs. Staff is very helpful, kind, compassionate and work with us in order to make recovery the best experience. Facilities are amazing, I felt like a princess!! The chef tries to accommodate all food preferences, house managers try their best to make the stay comfortable, staff and facilitators really bring their all to work and it shows. It’s hard to find a place that can really help you specially when you have a background in therapy for a living so that being my case I would for sure choose Apex again. If you are considering this place I would have a clear list of things you want to know prior to enrollment so that confusion and questions are answered prior (wether insurance or personal requests), I found that miscommunication can easily be done. Want to thank Aily (intake), Tim (house manager), Ryan, Kaitlyn, Eli (best therapist ever), Breauna, Amelie (yoga), Emily, Kinsey (sound bowls), Brandon (rock and recovery), Ivana (chef), and in general all the staff (sorry forgot some names).darlene valdez

Making the choice to go into recovery is never easy and choosing the right facility plays a huge part in your ultimate success. I couldn't give a higher recommendation to Apex. The property is top notch and extremely comfortable, but more importantly is the staff that takes care of you. They pay attention to details and really care. They are also incredibly fun to be around which makes the experience that much better. If your thinking about recovery Apex should be your first choice. If they had 10 stars I'd give them that rating. Highly recommend.Ryan H

Awesome recovery place. First time going to something like this and they made me feel welcome, was in residential for a few weeks and the Chef's food is very good… didn't know what to expect but I didn't expect something this nice, learned a lot about myself and the way I act, their therapists are all caring people who just want to help.. the team at the residential/detox houses are awesome too, caring about you and your health.. hope I don't need to, but I would come back here! Thanks Apex, you guys are doing great work!Andrew Renninger

Victor helped me today with my intake interview. I found him to be a very professional, polite and caring young man. He made a very long and tedious process (over 2 hours) as painless as possible. My experience with him was very positive. He made me feel comfortable, even when the questions were very personal. It was nice to feel like I was being heard and understood – not something you encounter when dealing with the Workers Comp system.Carol Lynn Mohr

My experience with the Doctor and staff was a great one. They were very helpful with any questions I had. Also they thought of questions I hadn't asked but that O wish I would have remembered to ask. So overall they had my best interests at heart. I appreciate there help and welcoming atmosphereErnie Garibay

I am so thankful to have the opportunity to get rehab service in IOH. Everyone I have worked with during my rehab sessions is wonderful, friendly, professional, caring towards the patients needs. Their medical service is outstanding. Thank you Institutes of Health.Nona L

Stay away from this place if you actually want therapy. They are money hungry and difficult to deal with on billing, and spend a great deal of time and energy on insurance and paperwork. They were not honest and screwed up the billing with Insurance, lied to me about accepting EAP program, and treated me with disrespect when I was not a candidate for their group therapy because I did not exhibit a mental disorder. They still tried to sell me on the therapy and focused on insurance and money. The whole thing was a joke, poor service and bad communication. They will mess with your mind and after going here you will need therapy for sure!Angela Elizabeth

People are told that their insurance will cover their therapy. Sounds great, right? No, because sessions into working with them they will drop a bill on you expecting payment that day. Patients are told that if they drop their therapist they will be fined so you go long enough for them to get you with a mondo bill. Also, their responses to other critiques of them seem rather unprofessional. Maybe you’ll have a better shot with them but from my understanding they lack the ability to communicate well with their patients.Courtney Conaway

I was lucky enough to have Dr. Kogan as my therapist for 3 years and she was nothing short of phenomenal. She was very attentive, adapted to my “blunt yet charismatic” personality quickly, and made sure that I left every session understanding what we went over. Furthermore, Dr. Kogan helped aid me in getting over the negative young male stigma of therapy and I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking some professional help who has been having second thoughts about therapy!Demetrius Jones
