Dr. Carl Wells is the best. He help me recovered from anxiety attack due to work harassment from my manager. He took his time to listen and provides me with great therapist sessions. And for that, I will forever be grateful...

Dr Wells has taught me so much about how to understand myself, when I start getting to much anxiety to stand myself. He has taught me so many tools that when my anxiety starts to run my thoughts I now have the tools to slow down my anxiety with breathing,exercising, meditation, and thought records. Dr Wells knows cognitive behavioral training. Give him a chance he will help you!!!

Carl really helped me be able to help myself. He’s non-judgmental and I always felt like I was heard. He taught me how to analyze my thoughts, find distortions, and design behavioral experiments. All these things helped change my behavior and moods for the better.

I was searching for a psychologist in the area of Orange County and was referred to Dr. Carl Wells by Dr. Lawrence Ledesma and trusted that he would be a good fit for me. I had an initial call with him and started emailing him to start the process. We shared a few emails back and forth but I found out that my insurance company does not have him in my network. I did want someone that was accepted by my health plan, so that I could have an affordable copay. I emailed him to cancel our first virtual (virtual due to COVID) meeting and got the attached screenshots as a response. I don't appreciate the passive-aggressiveness coming through via his email. I thought I was polite enough to explain my reason for cancellation and didn't expect a judgement about my financial standing, if that was even my case. This would not be the right response I would want from any psychologist. I am glad that I did not go with Dr. Carl Wells for my therapy.
