Testimonials
I met Cindy Busto and Jody Frank in 1992 when I was lucky enough to join West Coast Counseling Center as an associate. Twenty-two years later I can proudly say that I would still refer to either of them without reservation because they are two of the most gifted and talented clinicians I know. It’s been my privilege to be their close colleague all these years, and their warm, direct, intuitive styles provide a valuable resource in our therapeutic community.
Andrew S., LCSW
I am a practicing psychiatrist and have worked closely with Jody and Cindy for several years. They do fantastic work with clients. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

Jody Frank has been in my life and my son’s life since 2000, when I was going through a divorce and sought counseling to help with the difficult transition, and each time life has thrown me a curve ball, I return to Jody. We literally would not be the people we are today without Jody! She’s a class act, a true professional, and a woman the likes of which I’ve only met the one — her! Anyone who seeks her counsel is in the very best of hands.
Carla
WCCC is an essential part of my life. I have spent productive years with Cindy Busto dealing with issues that have led to healing, recovery and life balance. She has equipped me with tools I use daily to make sure I stay in a positive direction and avoid problematic personal triggers. The value of our work together has shown itself in personal and professional growth. I’m deeply grateful for Cindy’s knowledge, compassion and guidance. I feel safe at all times even when being pushed to address my most difficult issues. My life is not perfect, but having Cindy help me through the rough patches gives me a better perspective and ultimately a place where I know I can begin to get back on track.
Renato
Jody is a master therapist and teacher. I have the highest confidence in her and the people she has supervised. The success of her interns is a testament to her skills and knowledge. Not only is she talented but also one of the warmest and most genuine people that I know.
