Renewed Freedom Center for Rapid Anxiety Relief

This place is awesome! Dr. Yip, Dr. Haider and Dr. Cespedes are very professional and extremely knowledgable. Highly recommend them to anyone.

I am so grateful to this place. My sister suffered with OCD for most of her adult life and nothing helped– therapy, books, support groups. I found this place online and told her to call. She’s been seeing Dr. Cespedes and I’ve defnitely seen a huge improvement in her OCD, and even beyond that, how she handles life in general. I wouldn’t hesitate to go here if you have OCD or are just struggling to get your life together.

RFC is nothing short of amazing. As a close family friend to three children who went through this program, it is with great confidence that I recommend this program after seeing its results. Seeing the transformation in the first two children is how the third family came to know about Dr Yip’s program. These families had tried other programs and were at their wits end. There is nothing more important than the mental health of ones children. Everything else is secondary. It’s been over a year for two of the children and almost a year for the third. Everyday situations that were once impossible for these children, are now managed with ease. Dr Yip’s program has given these children lifelong tools in their toolbox. The only wish that I have is that more people had access to this kind of help. It really is life changing. I saw it for myself.

I found RFC in 2011 based on a referral from a CBT clinic in Los Angeles. That particular clinic felt my case was too difficult for them to handle and recommended I see an intensive outpatient specialist. I’ve suffered from debilitating panic/​anxiety attacks and OCD for the past 20+ years. Lost several jobs due to my panic and OCD. Been to many doctors with no results. Often being misdiagnosed and put on medication that did more damage than good. Dr. Yip properly diagnosed and put a treatment plan in place that has been effective and has changed my life. While it was challenging, it was effective and life changing. Dr. Yip is highly competent, well educated and truly understands the needs of her patients. I’ve been with my company for 5 years and attribute much of that to Dr. Yip and her staff. Since my treatment ended, I’ve had a couple of life changing events that resulted in needing the help of RFC. They were there for me and were able to address the issues quickly and effectively.
As for the insurance, RFC is an out of network provider. You do have to pay for your treatment upfront. Insurance gets filed at the end of every month or you can file your own insurance claims with your provider, if you prefer. Let’s be honest, good health care isn’t cheap. If you want the best you are going to pay for it. RFC is the best. If you want cheap then go to an in network provider or a sliding scale clinic. This is one of the finest OCD/​Panic clinics in our country. You are going to pay appropriately for this type of care and it’s worth every penny if you want your life back.

Dr Yip, Dr. Haider and the rest of the team at RFC are amazing. Their work with my 6^th grade daughter was nothing short of miraculous. They were patient yet strong, and very persuasive in getting her to agree to do her daily exposure therapies. We were amazed daily with how intuitive they were with what her responses were and how to keep her on track.
Her life, and our family’s life has been forever altered because of their work. It was not cheap, but we firmly believe that it was the best investment we could ever choose to make. Instead of «having coping skills», «managing her anxiety» and having to take Meds for the rest of her life to deal with her anxiety, she has truly beat her anxiety. She is medicine free. She KNOWS that SHE is in charge of all of her thoughts and feelings, not her brain. We continue, a year and a half later, to be amazed that she literally deals with none of the paralyzing anxiety that she had before. She works her tools that they taught her on a regular basis and finds success each time.
I cannot recommend Dr Yip, Dr. Haider and all of the Dr. s at RFC enough. Within 4 weeks, our lives were completely changed.

Friendly people, however, insurance is a nightmare.
Currently owed around $ 1000.00 which was not submitted correctly. Going to be an uphill battle. Will consider revising this review once insurance gets settled and I am reimbursed what I should be, if it does.
I am now out over $ 3000.00 for incomplete treatment which I had to stop due to no insurance reimbursement which I have found out was due to improper submission which meant my insurance never processed the claims.
I have to say this place is not good for anyone who is not extremely wealthy and doesn’t care about money. If you use this place, you may want to submit your own claims, at your own risk. At least then they may be received and processed.

Avoid. We spent a lot of time and money with no result. A lot of Spin. Sessions began with four hours of interview, and therapy #1, was more hetoric about what their program was about, No actual help was received. Front office, «Help with filing insurance «
was promised but never happened. A waste of precious time

Dr Yip has helped me advance my career and obtain security in tough markets. Most recently, Dr Yip helped me successfully negotiate to obtain advanced benefits I sought from my present employer. Whenever I need support to make a crucial next step in life, Dr Yip is a excellent launchpad of guidance.

My son has always been a perfectionist. Even as a toddler, Calvin would always have his toys put away and lined up nicely when he was done playing with them. He liked to be clean and wear clean clothes. His projects were always done neatly. And it was especially cute when he would always make sure that his hair was combed perfectly to the style. We always thought Calvin was just a neat kid. It wasn’t until he started kindergarten that his «neatness» slowly became a nightmare that got in the way of everything he did. It would take Calvin at least 90 minutes to get ready in the morning, and we would always be arriving late to school. He would need to keep redoing things until he felt it was perfect. Homework time was especially difficult, because Calvin had to repeatedly erase and redo his work to the point that the paper would tear. Dr Yip’s program was brief and gave Calvin almost immediate relief from having to repeat things over and over again. She helped my son and the rest of the family understand the underlying basis of OCD, and how we as a family can facilitate in Calvin’s treatment. It has now been 2 years since completing Dr Yip’s program, and Calvin is able to continue using and applying the skills learned to overcome OCD. When he is uncertain whether a thought or behavior is OCDish, he knows exactly how to test it to make sure he still has a good handle over it. This skill is invaluable.
