Review for Simonton Cancer Counseling Center Charitable Trust, Malibu, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have stage 4 metastatic recurrent ovarian cancer, and I have found the Simonton course,, along with the books and CDS, to be the most effective complementary program that I have participated in throughout my 3 year cancer journey. The relaxation and mental imagery exercises have been very helpful in improving my attitude, and mood, especially prior to and during chemo treatments.

Karen Simonton is truly a pleasure to know and interact with. She does an incredible job of overseeing the program, and also keeps the spirit and teachings of Carl Simonton alive with videos and meditations. His voice is very calm which makes it easy to relax very quickly and begin the process of creative thinking.

The staff truly cares, and each member of the team contributes their own unique style of counseling. They have a vast amount of knowledge in a wide variety of helpful topics pertaining to cancer and also general life issues, which creates a very thorough and helpful counseling experience. As a result, I have experienced a complete turnaround in my attitude towards my recurrence. I have released the anger and I’ve gained a much healthier perspective on life. I have also learned valuable skills for dealing with family drama, which was negatively affecting me.

I cannot recommend the Simonton program highly enough as it has truly helped me tremendously .
