Counseling is very difficult to get right. Some counselors are too soft - others too hard/aloof…read more Some just want to chat with you while others want to do exercises. Troy Stone is one of the better counselors I've been to. He is honest, calls you on your BS, relatable, and has plenty of examples. He will chat about your day-to-day stuff but he always pulls it back to - what is your goal and what is the science behind it (love language, attachment theory, trauma, etc.). Other MFT counselors I've gone to barely touch on such subjects which greatly hinders long term fixes - to fix what is wrong today you must understand where you came from. If you simply talk about what pissed you off last week and never touch on why or what happened to you in the past that predisposed you to those emotions... then you're just spinning your wheels.

Whelp, I guess another set of lies came from Bill's mouth. I don't know how many though. Bill has not communicated with me since I was fired as a patient. I would've expected something from him like "he didn't agree with what happened to me by management." It is now difficult to believe a word he ever said to me. I would not trust this firm or any therapist within it. I will finish this life without therapy because therapists and their firms cannot be trusted. Karma (God) will show up for Core -- Bill already has his Karma. Stay away from Core and trust God ... only God!

I am very disappointed with my experience at Lighthouse, particularly with how my concerns…read moreregarding a psychiatric medication were handled. For over two weeks, I repeatedly tried to get a clear answer about whether I could receive a short bridge prescription to get me to an upcoming appointment with a new provider. When it became clear a refill might not be possible, I specifically asked for guidance on how to safely stop the medication. That guidance was never provided. Being left without direction regarding mental health treatment is unacceptable. I chose to leave this practice because I did not feel listened to by Dr. Westbrock. Diagnoses were mentioned without explanation, alternative causes were not meaningfully explored, and my concerns were largely dismissed. When I asked about further evaluation, I was told it would require several additional appointments and approximately $800 in fees, after already paying for the visit I was attending. The process felt more focused on billing than patient care. After securing a new provider, I contacted Lighthouse weeks in advance because I knew I would run out of medication before that appointment. I made it clear that I understood if a refill was not possible and that I was simply asking for guidance. Despite multiple attempts, my requested were ignored by Dr. Westbrock. Even after being told by the medical assistants this bridge refill should have been possible. Lighthouse medical assistants have reached out and apologized on behalf of the team. They stated the issue was with Dr. Westbrock and said that if I wanted a bridge now, three weeks later, they could forward me to the director. I appreciate the medical assistants who attempted to help every time I called. However, this situation should have been escalated to leadership much earlier, and at the end of the day Dr. Westbrock is employed by this office and his actions reflect the office. Overall, this experience left me feeling dismissed and unsupported at a critical moment in my care. The only reason I chose 2 stars instead of 1 was the medical assistants consistently trying their best. It is disappointing they are not listened to by their superiors. I am sharing this so others can make an informed decision when choosing providers.

I hear back from them about the remaining balance. It sounds to me that they are not on top of the co-pay or remaining balance due. It shouldn't take months.

I am so happy my PCP recommended Dr Nead to me. I have had anxiety and depression for many years…read moreand used several medications to help. I would do well for awhile and then something would trigger a relapse even though still on medication. The most recent trigger was learning my husband has a serious health condition. Dr Nead told me about TMS and that got me headed on the right path and followed it up with a different medication that was prescribed after a blood test to make sure my chemistry gets full benefit from this choice. I am confident I will continue on this positive path. Dr Nead includes you in the decisions made regarding your therapy. He explains the pros and cons of what is available and wants your confirmation that you agree with how to proceed. The only down side is you have to file your own insurance. I know that can be a hardship for many. Without the TMS, it should be doable for many.

I've been seeing Carol for 10 months now. I decided to seek counseling because my sister noticed…read morehow depleted my "light" was when she looked in my eyes. I was losing myself and my way, just barely able to try and meet everyone else's needs, completely unaware of my own. I didn't want to fade away, but I knew for my heart and mind to engage I would need a good therapist. I read Carol's profile, and immediately knew she was the one. Her approach took into consideration sensitive people. In life I have been misunderstood by many. I was so often referred to as "sensitive". I tried to push this aspect of my personality, the deep feeling and thinking, down until I could just communicate on the surface. Looking back over the last 10 months I realize that Carol has respectfully guided me to a place where I can honor who I am and find a way to live in harmony with others in my life. It's a tricky balance, and I'm still working on it, but I have made progress. She has managed to provide insights that I had not seen on my own, because she listens and I believe truly cares about those she sees. I will forever be grateful for Carol, as she had had a profoundly positive effect on my life.

Note: Regarding my ex-wife, her background and training provided her with the ability and skills to be very persuasive, having groups and individual adopting and believing her point of view. My problem: Wife was seeing her former lover who she was romantically involved with before our marriage. The married man even met and spent time with her family before our marriage. She continued the relationship with him during our marriage by texting messages to each other, meeting him, and lied to me about 2 different girls' 3-day 2-night trips. However, the trips were probably to his cabin for 3 days and 2-nights. She denied and lied to me about their continued contacts. All this took place during our marriage without my knowledge. I trusted my wife. I was the last to know. When the lies came up during counseling, my ex-wife told Sharon the issue was that I violated her privacy. My final meeting with Sharon, she discussed how and why my wife needed another outside relationship. How I did not understand my ex-wife. How the problem was me.
