Testimonials

As a busy Mom and wife who works full time in the healthcare industry, I have procrastinated finding time for myself to work through life experiences and trauma. At the beginning of 2024, I made a vow to myself that I would make my healing and mental health a priority. My employer offers EAP sessions, and by chance, Desert View Counseling was one of the recommended practices. When I called the front office and described what type of service I thought I was seeking, Lyndz was recommended to me. She was new to the practice so I was a little apprehensive, but felt she had the qualifications that would fit my needs. To say that I am relieved, thankful and excited that I took that chance is an understatement. During our intake appointment, I felt that we "clicked" immediately, and I knew from the start that I would feel safe in her competent hands. I had what I would describe as a "crash" emotionally about a month into treatment with her, and I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for her. She is leading me through EMDR therapy right now. Her kindness, flexibility, insight, humor (sometimes laughter is the best medicine) and expertise are truly life saving right now. She is gentle, but also knows when to "push" you just a little bit further to really explore your thoughts, memories and triggers. I can't recommend her enough, and I am so incredibly thankful that I found her when I did. As ridiculous as it sounds (because lets face it, counseling and therapy are HARD work), I actually look forward to our sessions. Do not delay taking care of your mental health. If you are skeptical about counseling, or worried about finding someone who is authentic-spend some time with Lyndz. You will not regret it.

We starting seeing Alfonso at the beginning of 2024. I feel like he's the first counselor that actually "gets" my son. We've seen great improvement in my son's behavior and mood since starting with him. He is compassionate, but holds my son accountable. I would highly recommend him, especially for preteen & adolescent boys. Thank you, Alfonso!

I was apprehensive at first, but Alfonzo immediately made me feel comfortable. He has been helpful on so many levels and I look forward to our conversations every week! Everyone around me has noticed the changes I’ve made as a result of our sessions.

Absolutely amazing! Super supportive, always listens and focuses on my needs every single session.

Shannon provided exceptional guided meditation & tools for me to utilize immediately with present triggering life events. I was able to implement her techniques same day & felt much more peace & harmony, which is now a part of my daily meditative practices.

I only had one appointment but I like her personality and that she listens to your concerns and outlines the goals for the therapeutic journey!

Dr. Ward has a warm and supportive personality. She listens. She explains well the feelings that I have.

Anita was great to talk to. While I went only once so far, I would definitely see her again.

Meeting with Krista Soste for these past 6 years has improved the quality of my emotional life and given me the opportunity to grow into the woman I want to be. Krista’s compassionate nature and amazing listening skills and encouragement has allowed me to walk through my fears and get to an enlightened side of living my life. Thank you is not enough to express my gratitude.

No words to express my gratitude and affection for Krista. She has been nothing short of wonderful. Easy to talk to and a very good listener. I appreciate her more than words. Thank you for being in my life! Love you mucho! (Poppa Frank)

Krista has gotten me through very hard times in life I just appreciate all that she has helped me with. I wish to continue with her as my healing has lessened and it’s all because of her willingness to help me through my difficult time. Rhonda saumure

Excellent

Krista is very understanding and insightful

Patrick has been very honest with suggestions, excellent communication, generous and considerate.

Arianna has proven to be an exceptional therapist throughout the duration of our therapeutic engagement. My initial therapeutic experience with another practitioner was marked by challenges in responsiveness and the provision of necessary documentation required for my Short Term Disability claim. These issues resulted in an unfortunate denial, leading to a protracted six-month period of contention. Upon transitioning to Arianna's care, she promptly and efficiently furnished the requisite information, displaying an exemplary commitment to her professional responsibilities. She exudes kindness, warmth, and a genuine concern for the well-being of her clients. My interactions with her have been consistently rewarding, and I deeply appreciate the rapport that has developed between us.

Several years ago, I had a session with Patrick, and at that time, I wasn’t ready to accept the help I needed. Fast forward to last Wednesday, my experience with him was transformative, to say the least. Just within our intake conversation, Patrick offered insights that began to open my eyes. What truly struck me was a book he recommended. After just two days of diving into it, I came to the profound realization that I've been communicating ineffectively for the last 47 years of my life. The material is so impactful that I'm already on my third listen, as I tend to digest and understand things at my own pace. I am genuinely excited for my upcoming sessions with Patrick. There's much more to uncover and work on, and with his guidance, I am optimistic about the journey ahead. Highly recommend to anyone seeking understanding and self-improvement.

A process that takes time. A lot of time. And with consistency comes growth and healing. Great experience overall!

Loved working with you. I got busy at times and will definitely be reconnecting.

Patrick truly listens and provides honest feedback that cuts through the fluff to provide insight that is needed. He allows us to hear each other and get through the crap and discuss concerns free of animosity.

I see Kelley every-other Tuesdy and I look forward to it because I feel like I have a good friend I can talk to about anything. I would like to continue my counseling sessions with her as it is often the highlight of my week. Sincerely, David M Lamb

I feel that Krista is an intuitive listener, and at the end of my session, I always feel like I have gained a better understanding of myself, and situations that I am involved in.

Most wonderful and caring and kind counselor. She has worked with members of my family for years off and in. She knows precisely how to address the problems that arise with life and children and development. We drive far out of our way because she is so wonderful so we can stay on her roster!

Positive sessions

I’ve been going to krista for years, she’s been a big part of helping me change my life in a positive way!

Always insightful and compassionate while giving feedback and also taking in information from me as a patient.

Nurse Krystal is excellent care of my medical needs understands what area I need most work with. She is excellent all of the time.

Outstanding and caring ..

Krista really listens and provides actionable advice. Her methods are very effective. She has helped me with my depression and now I am working on managing my anxiety via my visits with her. Over the decades, I have had 5 different therapists and no one was as effective with helping me through my depression as Krista. I feel very lucky to have found a professional who cares and listens like her.

TMS procedure was fantastic and helped through a tough time in life.

Amazing!

Kevin has been a great influence in my life. His patience and his approach of making you solve the issues on your own, but giving the tools is amazing of itself.

Rebecca is a great therapist. She really takes the time to listen to me and I enjoy my sessions with her. Highly recommend!
