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!

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.

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.

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.

NOT RECOMMENED. The provider was fine. However, many of the front office staff talked about confidential patient information among each other in a very negative light. I heard many people's names and issues being disgusted in front of people. The vulgar things being said and cursing among the staff was very unprofessional. I heard races remarks regarding those of Jewish faith, I heard F*** that patient and it goes on. I would not recommend this business as you do not know what is being said about you or your therapy. Check with the Better Business Bureau.
