We did not enjoy our couples sessions. After I decided I did not want to see her anymore, because I…read moredidn't agree with the advice she was giving us. We even left the place arguing after the first session. My Husband went back to her multiple times and altered the way he thought. He became MEAN, unreasonable, and just not the person who he was when we went in. I tried again with her and she refused to see us again as a couples even thought he agreed to it. It RUINED our relationship. We had to seek a new therapist to re-help us for our old issues and NEW ones. Thankfully the new one got us back on a great path to where I can understand him more and he can understand me more without us getting defensive. My husband and I started asking around about her and we aren't the first ones to experience this either. Now, she maybe some peoples style but she was not what we needed. Please do your research before booking.

She is also certified as a doula and I know that when the time comes for me to start planning my family I want her to be a part of that journey.

Dr. Major specializes in clinical psychology and psychopharmacology, which was helpful as besides being an excellent therapist, he is extremely knowledgeable about medication management. Dr. Major helped me not only navigate the tumultuous emotions my separation was inducing, but also helped me work on things that allowed me to feel more empowered as a suddenly single adult, a parent, an employee and as a woman. My children also received treatment from the other two doctors in the practice, Dr. Kelly Bolger and Dr. Rebecca Smith. I cannot begin to express how caring they were and how integral they were in helping my children negotiate the complex world of divorce. They also helped us in dealing with some academic concerns, that led us to a previously undiagnosed learning disorder, which has been life-changing.

The reasons are many, so I will give just a few: First, her actual office is nothing like the space featured on her website. Second, there is no waiting room. Clients just hang on a residential front porch with peeling paint and crappy lawn chairs. Third, she takes and holds your credit card information and then passes unexpected charges on to it without communicating to you in any way. No email, no invoice, no phone call-- just presses a button when she decides to do her paperwork. Three, she dismissed my child from her practice when I stood my ground against her unprofessional her billing practices. This, despite the fact that my child really loves meeting with her and things we progressing very well between the two of them. And, we have paid our co-pay up-front every single visit. Note: My family has a lot of experience with mental health providers. None of my experiences to date can in any way compare to the level of dysfunction at play here. Buyer beware!

Anyone would be so lucky and blessed to have the opportunity to have Daryaan as their therapist…read more I've had a few therapists over the past decade and she is by far the best therapy experience I've ever had. I've never had a therapist so actively engaged in the session consistently asking me deep and throught-provoking questions throughout each and every session helping to efficiently and immediately get to the root of any issue I'm having. She had so much compassion and understanding and she felt more like a friend in how I was able to speak freely and be my self in each session. I was taken aback by how quickly I was able to transmute the issues I was dealing with. Within 3-4 months I was feeling like myself again and ready to take a pause on weekly visits since I now feel empowered enough to manage the stressors of life thanks to all of the tools she provided me with. The best part was she accepted Medicaid! It's not easy to get the best of the best without paying out of pocket but I'm so grateful for the work she does for her community. Thank you, Daryaan!!

People say not every therapist is the one for you and it's very important to make sure you've chosen the right one who will understand you and guide you to where you want to be in life. I was blessed to find Tonya, the perfect one for me, the very first time I had enough guts to reach out to a therapist whom I thought MAY be a good fit for me. Tonya certainly was it for me, and we began our journey to success. She was never too impulsive to speak over me, tell me what I should do, nor try to control me in any way as a way to protect me from what she may see as a potential mistake... she let me make my own mistakes, which was very important for me in my personal journey... she helped me to own my thoughts/behaviors, understand the intentions behind it, the root cause of it and how to look at it differently in order to ultimately, transform my way of thinking, coping and my relationships with people, which spanned across all aspects of my life. There was always a strong level of comfort and security during my sessions with her. Tonya is extremely knowledgeable about codependency, addicts, victims of addicts and relationship issues, and helped me to understand myself more than I ever have in my entire life! She allowed me to go through my cycles without making me feel guilty for regressing, which enabled me to persevere. After every session, I would take home AT LEAST two new perspectives or "ah-ha" moments, which will continue to resonate with me for life - most of those moments came from the well-constructed, thought-provoking questions she would ask me (after I've been blabbing for probably 15 minutes). She was always patient with me and very aware of my transformation (although I could not see it sometimes). She read me so very well and paid close attention to detail. I would not be where I am today physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally if Tonya was not a part of my life when I needed a therapist the most. She deserves a HUGE recommendation for anyone struggling with codependency, relationship issues, as well as all others she specializes in. Thank you, Tonya, for everything you've done for me. You are a gifted and special person. - Lauren :)

After our three year old nephew's mother and father passed and we committed to bringing him up as…read moreour own, we sought out family counseling to help us navigate through these murky waters. I was referred to Hope from some source that I cannot recall. We spoke and I found her to be very compassionate and sensitive to our situation. She was unavailable for counseling but recommended others for family counseling and play therapy within the agency. Appointments were arranged and we really felt as though we were getting good advice to get a handle on our new family dynamic. Everything was going well until we received a charge onto our credit card for almost $500. We disputed the charge and Hope refunded the money for the moment. We quickly found out that they were charging our sessions incorrectly to our insurance. Instead of sending individual claims based on who was actually receiving counseling, they were sending all claims under my husbands name. So after the first of the year, all accounts went back to zero and we were responsible for our deductible but only my husbands account was being drawn upon. When the insurance became aware if this, they sent back all of the claims, which made us responsible for all visits. Hope also suddenly refused to use our nephew's name as a recipient of care under our insurance based on the fact that "he was too young for a diagnosis" after 5 visits, meaning that he would be ineligible for reimbursement by insurance. Never once, within 5 visits, was this mentioned as being an issue. In the meantime they have started charging our account again without our approval. They are refusing to use our nephews name, their patient who had been seen several times alone in play therapy, as the person being treated. Hope apologized for the inconvenience, which really doesn't help considering all that we have been through trying to come to terms with our sisters death, a 3 yr old with health and trauma issues, and mounting medical and court fees related to all of this. My advice, stay away from her services, as they will not hesitate to screw you over in your worst time of need
