Working with Monica has been an amazing experience for our relationship. We walked in with roadblock issues that had been impacting our relationship for years. Monica helped us get to the heart of the problems we were having, figure out why they were happening, and find resolutions that left us both feeling loved, respected and prioritized. She is a great listener and isn’t afraid to call us out. She has taught us how to use the Gottman method effectively and sets us up for success at home. We look forward to every meeting with her. Our relationship is as strong as it’s ever been because of her!

A warm and inviting practice with skilled clinicians. If you are looking for therapy to improve your relationship, this is the place for you. They even offer intensives to get your relationship back on track fast.

After trying various therapist before, Monica stands out far above and beyond with her commitment to support and resolve mental health roadblocks that greatly affects relationships. She compassionately listens to our core problems and is able to effectively provide solutions and support utilizing the Gottman Method structure when it comes to emotional conflicts and roadblocks. She has become someone who both my husband and I look forward to meeting with and working together as she has a calming presence and understanding of our problems, thanks to her, I'm able to be a better person with a stronger relationship than ever before with my husband. Highly recommend booking with her!

Monica and Pamela - calming counter to life’s hurdles and barriers that are easier when life gives you a two person problem. Pamela gets you setup quickly, with monica and you handling the rest. Great listener and can provide you critical life tools helping to see things at a different perspective ensuring you have the “big picture” when making decisions big or small. Highly recommend

Dr. Dana McNeil is transparent, honest, radically genuine, and kind. She has the ability to share direct feedback in a way that is easy to receive and incorporate. I highly recommend anyone to work with Dr. Dana McNeil or her team at The Relationship Place. Plus, their office is absolutely gorgeous!

My partner and I are so grateful for the guidance we’ve received from Tierra. From our very first session, she made us feel comfortable, heard, and understood. She is incredibly personable and easy to talk to, which made discussing difficult topics feel safe and manageable.

With Tierra’s help, we’ve learned effective communication strategies and how to better understand each other’s perspectives. She provided us with tools to navigate disagreements and cope with moments of frustration in a much healthier way.

We highly recommend Tierra to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship through improved communication and deeper emotional connection. Her insight and compassion truly made a difference for us.

A narcissist will never change. They always will blame it on you. My wife cheated on me for years and I always overlook them because I never had concrete evidence to confront her. This last time I finally ended it, after confirming her infidelity through a SpyApp sent to me by this Software programmer "HACKSPEED24@GMAIL COM, I realized that for my own sanity, I had to take control of my life. I cut ALL ties. No more texting, No phone calls, I totally blocked her number after divorce. I had to start a new life. I advise that whenever you realize that a relationship/marriage is draining your energy or killing your self-esteem, you have to completely disconnect with the person and move on.. 'HACKSPEED24@GMAIL COM, is a legit and reliable hacker, he has the answer to every hacking related issue, tell him I referred you.

Dr. Dana McNeil and her team are incredible at walking couples and individuals through amazing (and hard) times in their lives. She is warm, caring, and sincere and leads an accomplished team of clinicians. There is no one else like her or doing what she does in Southern California. I can’t recommend Dana and her team enough!

I just have to say my husband and I had definitely hit a rough patch our relationship it had gotten very stale to say the least,but counseling helped my husband and I get back on the same team. I loved the no-nonsense approach to tackling real issues—working together instead of tearing each other down.

I never imagined we’d find our way back to the couple we used to be, but now we’re on that path again. I was seriously opposed to getting for both of us help,🤷‍♀️ but I’m so grateful we did.♥️🥰♥️

Me and my wife started coming here as premarital counseling and it has been an amazing experience. We have decided to continue our care past our original treatment plan. It has helped us with many areas of our relationship and would recommend anyone who wants couples therapy. Cristiane has been amazing therapist and open and discussing whatever we need at the moment. The admission process is super easy and smooth everyone that works there is very friendly 10 out of 10.

I can’t speak highly enough about Dana and her team. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. She listened and helped me understand why I felt the way I did. I learned how better to handle situations that cause me anxiety. I will continue to have Dana and therapy for lifelong self-care ❤️

My husband and I worked with Bella for couples therapy during the first year of our marriage, and I can confidently say we wouldn’t be where we are today without her support. She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to both of our needs, making the entire process feel collaborative and productive. Bella always made us feel like she had both of our best interests at heart, and we never felt like the focus was placed unfairly on one of us.

The structured approach of the Gottman Method used in her practice was incredibly effective, providing clear goals and a roadmap for our sessions. We left therapy with practical tools, like weekly check-ins, that we still use today to stay connected and strengthen our relationship. If you’re looking for an amazing therapist, I highly recommend Bella!

Dana and her team are amazing. From our first interaction with Pamela at the front to follow up a few months later, I feel like family (the good supportive kind). Dana provided us with tools in a tangible way that we can use her skills daily. Best counseling we have had in thirty years.

Dr dana is basically what I would call a professional Scammer.
I explained how long our relationship was 14 years long an it just came into to trouble and I was worried about doing therapy..
dr Dana then proceeded to tell me she would repair us and to trust her she explained she saves hundreds of marriages even when headed to divorce,,, i trusted she would keep her word.
after she got the payment, she basically ruined my relationship by being a polite instigator you know that woman friend that's always in your girl ear saying maybe your not serious enough an egging the situation on that's how dr dana did the whole time.!!!! then when I told her she was doing that she said I can't save a relationship that someone don't want to be in!!!!
like if my girl was done she wouldn't have came or she wouldn't have had sex with me the night prior if you ask me the trip was good enough we made up then DR DANA ruined it ALLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My (ex) girlfriend and I saw Payton and James here for some time.. I don't want to be unfair, but James actually listened and responded.. while Payton seemed to always have a "male correcting" agenda. Even these 2 counselors would disagree with each other which would create distrust in the process. Boundaries were not to be respected in session but to be tested by Payton which was either inconsistent, or a "good counselor bad counselor" tactic.

Want to save your relationship? Maybe try counseling! I'm a believer in professional prospective.

Want your relationship to end in hatin'?
See Payton!
