I have really loved my experience here. Not perfect but who really is? I have had different experiences here with 4 different therapists. What I can say is that the interms I have had really do care and go the extra mile if they can to help people. They are just out of school and new. They seem very hungry to make a difference in this world and help people. Unlike some long time fully licensed shrinks who seem to just be there to collect a check ✅ My current therapist has probably been the best so far. Thank higher power (YHWH)

I had a therapist who was good at one point, but she graduated from her program. The second one that I had blatantly lied about being an actress to my face and the third one literally aggressively bullied me repeatedly, making me feel bad about myself. Take your risks here.

After losing my income, I ended up on Medi-Cal and had no choice but to find a new therapist. This was the seventh program I tried after being denied a single case agreement from LA Care—and it was by far the worst. I told them exactly what I needed: a long-term therapist, one consistent LMFT, someone experienced who could actually handle trauma. What did they do? They threw me with an intern, forced me to sit through a session, and then, in the second session, she told me she was quitting and I’d be reassigned. And guess what? No one ever contacted me again. Despite promises, I was left completely on my own, after sharing my deepest traumas with someone I would never see again. That’s not a mistake—that’s cruelty. This program doesn’t care about you. They care about billing LA Care and giving interns hours. If you are struggling, do not go here. You will be tossed around, ignored, and treated like a dollar sign. Southern California Counseling Program exists for their convenience, not yours.

My experience with these guys is another story, they are racist, biased, and hypocritical. They want people to respect everyone’s ideas and beliefs except the ones that don’t align with the status quo. I am being discriminated against for my beliefs and my questions to increase my cultural competence. Bias and racism comes in all shades. And these guys perpetuate it in their training and allow against individuals that don’t agree with them 😭😡😡

Excellent way to get top notch therapy on a budget. I have had several therapists here throughout my life who have helped me tremendously. A+!

PHD student helped me a few years ago and highly recommend. It was sliding scale and I had to go on a waitlist but was in after 2 months. Worth the wait.
