I was referred to Arolyn by the district attorney's office after I was involved in a domestic situation that resulted in criminal charges being filed against my ex. I contacted her and we set up an appointment for a phone consultation: I explained my situation and she agreed that I would benefit from counseling. I found her to be friendly and helpful on the phone. When I went to her office for my first session I was nervous and not sure of what to expect but I felt comfortable shortly into the session. Her office is relaxing and comfortable. Arolyn is a great listener and she made me feel safe talking about my experience. She pointed out behaviors that I was engaging in that were preventing me from healing as well as encouraging me in learning how to take care of myself and to make better choices moving forward. Her approach is very gentle and encouraging but she doesn't sugarcoat things which I appreciated.
My involvement in the situation that brought me to therapy is now over but I know that I can visit Arolyn if I need any additional help. My time with her was very well-spent and my only regret is that I didn't start therapy immediately after the initial incident.

I have been one of Arolyn's clients for over 4 years now. Coming to see Aroyln was one of the best decisions I have made in my 20's.

Atmosphere:

Aroyln has a charming and cozy office in Pasadena. Her waiting room has plenty of magazines to choose from , you can help yourself to a snack and a cup of coffee or tea while you wait to see her. Once inside here office its a calm gentle space. Warm rich colors and the temperature is pleasant. Plenty of pillows if you need something to hold on to.

The Therapist:

Arolyn has a very calm voice and a kind face. She let's you do the talking and LISTENS ! I always leave wishing I had a longer session. I have dealt with so many personal and emotional problems the past couple of years with Aroyln. I was typically seeing Aroyln twice a month. If my schedule permitted it I would see her at least once a week.


Sessions:
I have made so many positive changes in my life because of Arolyn's help and guidance. I have a better understanding of who I am , I am able to express how I feel in a calm and rational manner now. I have been able to work through some dark past because of Aroyln's help. I had a bad couple of years where I lost my job, i lost several family members and friends and with Arolyn's words and suggestions. I have been able to resolve a lot of my own personal issues and feelings.

Conclusion:
Arolyn's sessions are worth every penny and she really does a great job of listening,getting to know her clients and offering helpful words when needed. She is always professional and she is very motivational. If you need professional help she is the person to see. You won't regret it !

Arolyn was a breath of fresh air. I very much enjoyed chatting with her and thought her advice was very actionable, useful, and easy to implement. As others have mentioned, she is great listener, has a wonderful sense of humor, and was always eager to help. I highly recommend her as an advisor and general 'good ear'.

I have been a client of Arolyn’s for both hypnotherapy and talk therapy and cannot sing her praises enough. In regards to hypnotherapy, it is clear she is very experienced, but she is also very willing to listen to you and work with your individual needs. She tailored hypnotherapy to my own needs so well that I had great success towards my goals while working with her. Arolyn thrives as an MFT as well though. I have gone to Arolyn for therapy through some of the most difficult times of my life and she has helped me not only survive these troubling times but come out the other end feeling stronger and more stable. Now when faced with challenges in my life, I have learned how to not drown in my feelings of being overwhelmed, but rather to be my own lifeguard in addressing difficult situations by finding solutions that will keep me safe mentally and emotionally.


I have heard many of her clients say that Arolyn is a wonderful listener, and I agree wholeheartedly. I always feel that she is understanding and sympathetic, and I do not feel judged at all when speaking with her. But I also wanted to note that she is a very engaged therapist and actively helps you understand your issues and work through them.

Ultimately there is a degree of emotional growth and a level of maturity I have achieved with Arolyn’s help that I would not have reached without her. I believe she can help anyone achieve that growth too.

Oh my goodness where to start Arolyn really listens and hears what is said
and from the very first appointment it felt it right. Always the professional in her manner. She explains the processes we will be doing and makes sure that it understood clearly before starting and it has been the greatest way to see results in a short time. I have had so many positive reactions to the changes others people see in me. No doubt the best time and money I have ever invested in me

Ms Burns has been incredibly helpful. I did not have great expectations for this type of therapy but was impressed by her manner and helpful techniques. She seems very professional yet I also felt comfortable.
They have very nice chairs in their waiting room. It was a nice start to my appointment and helped me feel more comfortable and relaxed. They were ready to see me when I showed up for my appointment. I never had to wait for them to show up. I am always so impressed with how quickly my calls are answered here. I am never put on hold for a long time and love knowing that if I have a quick question I won't have to wait a half hour through terrible music to get it answered. When comparing them to others I have visited for the same condition, they are among the best I have seen.
