My wife and I went in for couple's counseling and worked with Vanessa for the last 6+ months. She…read morewas a fantastic therapist to talk to about our relationship issues. She was very attentive in every one of our sessions asking about who we are, where we came from, or why we think certain ways so that she could fully understand our personas. Her diligence in her work and asking the right questions to pry into our feelings/thoughts were just what we needed to get our issues out into the air. I feel a much stronger connection with my partner after these sessions and truly appreciate the hard work Venessa put in. I feel like I'm in a much better mental/emotional place for myself and my spouse to handle any current or new issues that we'll face together.

Michael was a perfect and helpful "reset" for us. His gentle demeanor, great sense of humor, and…read moreactive listening contributed to a really great series of sessions that quickly illuminated some core issues. Rather than lingering in them for some time, we worked to figure out better ways to deal with them. He gave us an approach that paid immediate and lasting dividends. Despite the difficult issues being discussed, he was disarming and helped establish a vibe where we actually felt comfortable enough to even see our issues with a measure of humor. Really great progress faster than we thought. Strongly recommend him. Having been through a few therapists over the years, I'm a much more informed consumer. Michael really has the goods: smart, empathetic, but effective and efficient.

After more than fifty therapy sessions with my wife and Michael I can say that I am truly a happier…read moreperson than I could have ever imagined I would be before I came to see him for the first time. I now look at my life a lot differently after talking with him so many times. I am sad he moved away, but I am happy for him, and I am so glad I put in many hours of hard work with Michael. One of the things that sticks with me from our sessions is his gentle prodding to get me to understand and describe how I physically feel when talking about upsetting or uplifting emotional feelings. Where do I feel it? How does it feel. The words "bad" or "good" just weren't descriptive enough, and he encouraged me to more fully process my feelings. I really enjoyed this new take on therapy and it worked well for me in understanding my own feelings and telling others how I feel. This approach greatly improved my ability to communicate with people that are important to me. The tools I gained while working with him are priceless. It wasn't always easy, but I learned the most during the hard times. He was forever willing to give me and my wife another chance to connect emotionally and encouraged us to slow down and be open for each other. He is a talented therapist, and I have a feeling he helped a lot of other couples connect and communicate better than they ever had before.

I felt horrible and not like myself. My mood got worse and so did my symptoms. I started having nightmares every night and couldn't sleep. At one point they couldn't handle my symptoms anymore and transferred me to northwestern memorial hospital where I left with a lot of trauma due to my experience. Not only did pathlight not listen to my concerns but they also made sure that the er would keep me there by using things I said during my therapy and completely twisted my words so I had to go inpatient. After fives day of inpatient I discharged myself from pathlight as I am better of at home then in that environment. Also The new medication they put me on caused me to get pneumonia a very rare side effect. When I called to ask for help from the person who PRESCRIBED it they said they couldn't do anything since I discharged. WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! I left feeling worse and with new trauma. I would stay away if your not the "average depression or anxiety case."

Susan Cornelius, L.C.S.W., was highly unprofessional to me on multiple occasions recently. I saw…read moreher many times and at first it was fine but her behavior became erratic in the last 6 months or so. I was "treated" to a litany of strange comments, passive-aggressive behavior and a very judgemental attitude. One day she told me she was angry with me for saying something about a personal issue of mine. Huh? I thought the sessions were about me, not her. And it's supposed to be safe to speak about any topic. When I confronted her about this she finally agreed it was improper, then the next session she decided to revisie our fee agreement in a punitive way. Wow, a passive-aggressive therapist. Great. Shortly thereafter she told me it was my job to watch the clock each session so we ended on time. Seriously? That's the therapist's job - not the client's. (I refused). Then she told me one day that when I was depressed it was bringing her down. Huh? I don't even know what to say to that. Therapists are paid to treat mood disorders so this was highly unusual and offensive. It was like she was coming apart at the seams. There is plenty more to say but the bottom line is that she violated the first rule of healthcare professionals everywhere: "first do no harm" and for that reason she gets this one star review.
