My experience at PEP is that theyre always professional and the therapists are compassionate and kind. Ive never left a review about therapists before, but wanted to let the therapists at PEP know that theyre doing an awesome job.The front office staff is great also, and I was really impressed with the kindness I got when I called for my first appointment. I did a year of DBT and my life was changed immensely. I appreciate all of you. Thank you.

This place has been a god send during covid. Thanks for all your help!

Worst company ever !!!Its actually amazing how they dare to call themselvestherapists .. 🤦

I appreciate that Personal Evolution Psychotherapy makes a point of being affordable. They try hard to be nice and to provide therapy that works, and I really appreciate that during COVID. DBT is far better than I thought it would be. I know how hard it is to do everything remotely and theyre doing a great job. Thanks PEP!

Absolutely awful practice. Got through 2 sessions at $100+ per session to be told that if I dont do the DBT program that I couldnt continue seeing the therapist. This was after I disclosed trauma and showed my feelings to the therapist. Nowhere in the paperwork, emails, and website did I find this policy stating that you had to be in the DBT program in order to get individual sessions.I even communicated with the receptionist that I would prefer individual sessions and the receptionist did not reply.Had the policy been made clear, I would not have spent over $200 dollars to relive my trauma. Now I get to a different therapist to process not only my current issues but... you guessed it, this awful experience.

Ive never been to therapy before, and I was really impressed with the scheduler. She was super nice and hooked me up with a really great therapist who understands what Im going through. I dont know what those other reviewers were talking about. I think these people are very professional. Id recommend them highly.

My wife and I enrolled in the 8 week intensive at PEP after I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. After just a few weeks of counselling and skills training from Sue, Ivan and Hugh, my wife and I experienced much more rapid recovery and progress than we had in the preceding 12 months. I cant say enough good about the level of skill, capability and compassion that I have experienced at this clinic.

This is the best therapy experience Ive ever had! I was hesitant to commit to DBT, but Ive found it to be an enormously helpful and effective experience. I dont understand a couple of those reviews - I found everyone to be helpful, caring, professional and nice. I also found found out that you have to do the work for DBT to help. Maybe those people didnt want to do the work. I cant recommend PEP and the staff here enough. Do yourself a favor and go here.

Rude and unprofessional conduct to the highest degree. Belittling anything that crosses it path. Needs to be shut down permanently. Word will spread.

We went here for couples therapy and got great help!

I was referred here by a co-worker and she was right, the office is warm and inviting, it doesnt feel cold and clinical. If you are looking for a therapist you should check them out. I just had the best experience here at this office. It was so easy from the moment I called the office and spoke to the office manager Cindy (she took her time on the phone with me helped match me to the best therapist ) to then meeting my new therapist who I cant wait to come back and see next week.

The professionals at Personal Evolution Psychotherapy provide expert care and compassion along with evidenced-based treatments that work! Sue Boyd, the founder of PEP and a trusted colleague, leads this group of highly skilled and talented therapists. The therapists at PEP treat teens, adults, families and couples in a welcoming and cheerful environment. For anyone struggling with anxiety or depression, I confidently and highly recommend PEP!

What has stood out for me about Sue and the staff at Personal Evolution Psychotherapy is a genuine care for their clients, a truly nonjudgmental approach and a deep commitment to therapy that works. They know their stuff! This is a place where you can feel safe and respected. I highly recommend the counselors at PEP.

PEP is a great place with a lot of really caring and skilled therapists. What is amazing is the level of expertise they have in several key areas. First of all, they are highly adept at DBT therapy, which stands for dialectical behavioral therapy, and is really useful for people having difficulty regulating their emotions. It’s rare to find people who really know that form of therapy backward and forwards. PEP really walks the walk of DBT, offering individual sessions and groups. They are also great with teens and also have a large number of therapists specifically trained in working with couples and families. Finally, they are experienced gender therapists and can work with teens and adults working through gender issues. This place has my utmost respect in terms of their compassion, skills and methods. I can’t recommend them more highly!

This is the best and most effective therapy Ive ever received! DBT saved my life and I cant say enough about how professional and nice my therapist and all the staff at PEP were. Thank you PEP!

I wanted to write a review of Personal Evolution Psychotherapy (PEP) as Im impressed with their level of training in DBT and the services they provide to teens, adults, families, and even couples. Ive known the owner Sue, for quite some time, personally and as a professional colleague. She puts a great deal of effort into PEP to be the go to place for anxiety, depression, and gender therapy. Her center focuses on providing evidence based therapy and creating an environment where clients are treated with great respect and care. If youre in need of counseling help or want to find a great DBT therapist in the San Diego area I would highly recommend contacting PEP!

Personal Evolution Psychotherapy, or PEP, are experts in treating anxiety and depression by providing evidence based therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The therapists at PEP are caring and compassionate, and you will find a safe and non-judgmental environment that will help you reach your therapeutic goals. PEP works with teens, adults, families and couples and offers group counseling as well. If you are looking for help I encourage you to call PEP’s offices.

I had a really negative unfortunate experience. I was placed with a therapist who was not super experienced, so for the few months I was there, I didnt feel she could adequately help me with my issues. There were some discrepancies regarding payment and the groups vs insivisuak, and after a group session many of us became aware that we were not told consistent information. The groups were nicely run and I feel like the skills were useful but I ran I to a lot of unprofessionalism when I decided to end the program early and needed to have my current therapist contact my old one atPEP. Id be told they would call me back and Id wait days and Id keep trying to call and no one would return messages with any urgency. I was already stressed out, and dealing with them over the phone made it so much worse as I was talked down to. After explaining all my frustrations and irritations, and after moving on to new therapy, they then for some reason decided to ask me if I wanted to return with 2 free group sessions, but still needing to go through the 6 months program I already found to be ineffective. Ive never had an experience this diworganized and anxiety causing. Its shame bc DBT can be helpful but it seems like they want the really vulnerable people to keep having to come back to the 6 month program multiple times instead of ensuring its effective on the first go.

Extremely RUDE service over the phone...whoever answers the phone should be a bit more aware of their attitude towards their potential customers. Put a smile on your face it will help.

What I know about PEP is its clear commitment to its clients. PEPs director, Sue Boyd, is dedicated to providing a warm welcome to those who are struggling. PEPs therapists are genuinely caring and highly skilled. If youre looking for DBT therapists -- this is the place to go -- whether thats for teens, adults, families or couples. Sometimes we all need someone to talk to about when were feeling stressed or depressed. PEP is a place where you know you will be truly seen, heard and helped!

Told my girlfriend that she couldnt see a doctor because she’s a medical marijuana patient, I am very disappointed with the level of disrespect.

What a place.

Terrible customer service
