Cornerstone Counseling Center of Simi Valley

I can’t speak highly enough about Scott, the instructor for my domestic violence, anger management, and parenting classes at Cornerstone Counseling. He is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about his students. From the start, Scott creates an environment that fosters a brotherly bond, reminding me of that one high school or college teacher you never forget—the one who made learning enjoyable and engaging. His lessons are well-structured, and the videos he incorporates add depth and understanding. Scott makes complex subjects feel relatable and easy to grasp. The discussions in class with fellow students make you realize you’re not alone in your journey. Everyone has a story, and these shared experiences build a supportive community where we all help each other move forward. One of the things I appreciate most is that Scott holds his students accountable. He doesn’t just teach the material; he ensures you’re doing the work, showing up, and staying consistent. His extensive knowledge across all three courses really shows, and for an added bonus, his networking and rapport-building are top-notch. Cornerstone Counseling is affordable, and my advice to anyone considering these classes: just show up, be accountable, and don’t quit. You won’t find a better guide through these difficult times.

Scott is awesome! Very professional and is understanding of people’s busy schedules! He is able to accommodate when unforeseen circumstances arise. The material he teaches keeps you engaged and you learn a great deal from his lessons!

Ever since I started counseling with Mr. Scott Barella my relationship with wife have been great! I’m learning how to cope with new methods of dealing with agitation and frustration. I am close to 40 sessions and by far have been 100 percent worth every second of it. Scott is a 30+ experienced certified counselor and the experience speaks for itself. I highly recommend cornerstone counseling if dealing with any type of domestic and or anger management issues. Give it a try & you will too see results. Thank you Scott

Cornerstone Counseling offers expert guidance to help you become the best parent you can be. I took this class to improve my co-parenting skills with my child's mother. The class truly captured my attention, helping me listen better and improve communication with my ex. I highly recommend Scott—he is professional, empathetic, and very responsive via text. Additionally, the class was competitively priced.
