We had a very bad experience with this doctor. My 18 year old daughter has ADHD, diagnosed in another state. Now she is going to school in California and needs a local doctor to prescribe her meds. But her California doctor wanted a local diagnosis. He referred her to Dr. Khatchikian. First, Dr. Khatchikian made her come in for a consultation before even scheduling the test, dispite the referral. Weeks later she administered a 4 hour test that covered a multitude of issues, and then three weeks later, ended up denying she had ADHD even though her test results indicated she was "severely impaired". Then we get a bill for $2000 for this test, and were just told by her staff that my 18 year old daughter, who is having to handle this on her own, should have asked how much it would cost before hand. This doctor in my opinion behaved irresponsibly, and aggregiously. I do not recommend her for any reason.

The worst psychologist I have ever been to. I have never been treated with such disrespect and had a doctor be so demeaning. She should not be practicing.

Excellent job testing and providing the information my neurologist needed for treatment. I was very satisfied and felt she really listened and had great clarity about the testing we did.

She said some things to me that I don't think psychologists should say to patients/were highly problematic-so I stopped seeing her. Also, I agree with the other commentators regarding her harsh imposition of opinions and focus on money.

I have seen Dr. K intermittently for several years, after first meeting with her for cognitive testing. Dr. K is a highly intelligent and also highly intuitive therapist. She is honest and direct. She helped me tremendously in many ways, but the most helpful thing she ever taught me was not to give in to my "Hollywood stories," those things that I make up in my mind, attach to, then treat as though they are true, often to my detriment. To those who found her to be "demeaning" or "rushing," I respectfully wonder whether they are reacting to her directness of manner and lack of willingness to sit by passively and semi- listen, stating "uh huh" and "how did that make you feel?" as so many therapists do. She gets in there and actively participates without overly directing. She is a gem. I am going to go back to Dr. K again soon for a tune-up. I look forward to more of her awesome assistance.

Honestly, I think she is not very organized. She was not prepared when we had our appointment and she charged way more than I have expected. It felt like she cared more about money than anything else...

Dr. Khatchikian has been wonderful, knowledgeable, easy to talk to. She always has excellent suggestions whenever I ask for guidance.

I began seeing Dr. Khatchikian after I retired 9 years ago. I am a never married single woman and have always lived with my family. Since I was 5 years old, my father had been working overseas first Okinawa, then Korea and finally Vietnam. I was raised by a single mother the youngest of three children, a sister 11 years older than me and a brother 8 years older. I was an outstanding student all the time I was in school because my mother always told me that my father was away from us to make a good living so we can afford something they did not have a good education.
With a B.S. Chemistry degree I immigrated to the United States in 1971. My sister and her family immigrated at the same time with me and we settled in Los Angeles. I found a good job and made outstanding achievements. I lived with my sister and her family . My parents joined us in 1977 and after 10 years, I bought my own place and my parents lived with me. A couple of years later my brother's family joined us. Life was perfect. My whole family together and I had a good job where I am surrounded by loving friends and co workers. I was also busy with volunteer work.
Until January 2000, my father suddenly died. At this time, my mother was in a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease and she died on July 14, 2001. My primary physician suggested I seek psychological therapy because she said "people who lose their parents at your age generally have a family of their own to support them." I was alone my parents have been my companion, my support, my family. I went for a few sessions with Employee Assistance program.
I was okay then because I was still working and busy with my volunteer activities. I was at the Board of the League of Women's Voters and the Neighborhood Council in my community. I was so busy I had no time to be lonely.
Then in 2011, I decided to retire. That was when I felt loneliness big time. So that my time will be occupied I volunteered at my parish church and at a Monastery in Hollywood. I was busy but I was very lonely and depressed. Once more my physician suggested psychotherapy.
I looked for one who will accept both Medicare and my private insurance. And with the help of prayers of a Carmelite nun I found Dr. Audrey.
My sessions with her was like peeling my life like an onion -- a layer at a time. One of the biggest "layer" is my relationship with my father. I did not know how I felt about him, but with Doctor's help, I realized that although my dad was miles and miles away, I had a closer relationship with him than some daughters who were living with their fathers. I maintained a close relationship with my dad in the 50's and the 60's when we did not have all this modern technology to get in touch. We constantly wrote letters. all through out school, I was inspired to be the best I can by the inspiring letters my dad wrote and it took Dr. Audrey to reveal that layer of the onion. She has guided me through the different "bouts" of loneliness that comes with aging alone. With Dr Audrey's help and the spiritual guidance of the priest, I have most of the time walked under the light. She has given me the proper tools with which to tackle situations that come my way. I have learned to go back under the light when circumstances lead me to the dark side. I have learned to accept and be grateful for all that has come to me both good and bad.
I need her mostly at this time of the coronavirus pandemic. I needed her so I can admit my weaknesses and failures, my loneliness without being judged, with understanding without patronizing. I always tell her that she is God's way of telling me I am not alone.

My experience with Dr. Khatchikian has been wonderful. She's an active participant in our sessions and challenges me to address whatever psychological issues I'm working through. Her honesty and professional guidance throughout the entire therapeutic process has given me a better understanding of what therapy is and how to get the greatest benefit from it. What I appreciate most is her goal/results oriented approach. In just a few short months, I've seen tremendous improvement in my battle with anxiety and depression and I owe it to Dr. Khatchikian. If you're willing to put in the work Dr. Khatchikian can help guide you through whatever psychological issues you're dealing with to positive results. I highly recommend
Dr. Khatchikian.

Dr. Khatchikian saved my life. I have been seeing her for a year now and the change I see in myself is drastic. She is a tough love kind of doctor. My first session with her, she told me things I was not ready to hear. After forcing myself to visit her a couple of more times and actually implementing the advice she was offering me I realized that getting outside of our comfort zone is the only way to grow and make change. I love her and appreciate her for motivating me on a weekly basis.
