Aspire Counseling Services, Simi Valley CA

Absolutely horrible women left. Marina will push you further into crisis, mock you, and fight with you in front of the group. They force yoga with no certified person leading group. Yajara the women in charge gossips about clients with Marina in the hallways frequently instead of behind closed doors. This place is trash.

Can't speak highly enough of the staff here, Yajira and Marina are excellent clinicians. I take away so much from the groups. I am so grateful for this program and how it has helped and continues to help me heal.

Aspire is amazing. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or having symptoms of depression Aspire can assist with their new age scientific program. I learned new ways of thinking and changing my thoughts and actions to ultimately bring me to well being. I can actually see a new future free of negativity, drama, and depression. Aspire is a phenomenal program. All I have to do today, and going forward is apply what I have learned. Then I’ll be renewed, rewired by applying new actions into my life. Aspire for well being.

I had done treatment at Aspire for about eight months before, this time i went back and it was the worst experience of my life. My first time going to Aspire was wonderful. We had great staff that cared about you and our art teacher Jill was amazing. Coming back was a disaster. Yajaira one of the therapists there made fun of me after sharing, and Marina, all she did was do yoga and Pilates, which most of us felt uncomfortable with. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had going back to Aspire unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. They have terrible staff except Rebecca, Shannon and Julie, everyone else is judgmental and just overall horrible.

I hope no one ever attends Aspire again. Someone named Yajaira who I have never met called my mom and broke my hippa rights and than when I called she let me know my counselor Julie had been let go. Julie was a huge help to me and has helped me find myself when I was lost. Julie and John definitely gave 5 star treatment but with ignoring my hippa rights and talking to my mom I would strongly suggest no one go to Aspire.

From the core of my soul and heart I cannot say enough positive things about Julie Romero, the Lead Substance Abuse Counselor at Aspire. This woman goes above and beyond and saves lives. She never gave up on me. She has the education, the personal experience, and the passion and heart that sets her above the rest and is the reason she was able to get through to me when no one else could. I tried the other mental health services Aspire offers. Their other therapists and IOP services mean well, but if you are struggling with an addiction and all else has failed, Julie is the one who can save your life.with all my being I believe the only reason I'm not dead or in jail, and am still fighting and getting stronger is because this woman has the know-how to truly help people in a way other therapists and licensed specialists cannot. Thank you Julie for all you have done for me and my family.

We have had a very positive experience there. This last couple if years. They are very caring, patient and flexible. Yojaira (not sure spelling)
