Kate is honest, fair, and is not afraid to help you conquer your most difficult challenges. I've been to a multitude of therapists in my 36-years, and I found some difficult to open up to.

I am glad to have found her and am looking forward to a brighter future with her as my guide.

My wife and I recently attended a family counseling session with Ms. Richetta. Regrettably she…read morefailed to disclose at the start of our session that she had previously seen our daughter in private sessions prior to our family session. It's very hard to take seriously the advice of any "professional" in a setting where honesty is compulsory to repair any relationship, and or fairly mediate any dispute as a "neutral" arbiter. By not disclosing this fact she undermined any presumed authority or credibility that we assumed when we walked in the door. As such, it was no surprise that she had a predisposition about the main issue of contention informed by her prior sessions accordingly, which unfortunately was hugely disappointing and less than helpful. She was argumentative and combative. Underwhelmed. Save your money and look elsewhere.

This review is in reference to my experience working with Timothy Cooper and Joel Schwartz…read more The primary reason I decided to work with TSC was because, during my initial intake call, I felt like Timothy understood how disappointing and damaging my previous experiences with past medical and mental health professionals had been. I felt validated and reassured that this experience with TSC would be different. I finally felt like relief -- and support with serious cognitive impairment and neurodivergence challenges -- was just around the corner. Unfortunately, I couldn't have been more wrong. Working with Timothy quickly became very frustrating due to: 1) his lack of responsiveness, where he'd go weeks/months without providing me with an update on next steps, 2) his impatient tone when conducting the assessment, 3) and his sheer lack of professionalism. For example, he conducted my assessment in a public environment where others could see/hear me, and shared about his personal life via text as the reason for delays in our progress. Eventually, it got so difficult to work with Timothy that I requested that my individual therapist step in to complete the assessment with me. After nine painful months, I received my final report, and I requested that Joel Schwartz, the head psychologist at TSC, be the one to review the report with me. Joel was also unresponsive and unprofessional, expressing minimal regret or concern about (nor responsibility for how negative of an experience I was having with his practice. In our first meeting, he showed up unprepared and unfamiliar with my case, only to skim my report and tell me that it appeared incomplete. We had to meet again in order for him to finish up my report appropriately, but he was late to our appointment, then took weeks to provide updates. I experienced his bedside manner to be quite callous and lacking basic levels of empathy. The report itself contained basic inaccuracies that didn't resonate with what I'd shared during the assessment process. For example, despite me repeatedly telling Joel that my symptoms had emerged prior to ever having Covid-19, the report that he ultimately delivered leaned heavily on a diagnosis of long Covid-19 as one of the main causes of some of my symptoms. He also delivered my report without offering to explain its contents to me; it's a dense document written for a practitioner audience, which means that without guidance from Joel or another practitioner, it's very difficult for me to understand. All in, it took TSC 360 days to conduct, complete, and deliver my assessment, which was nine months longer than the original timeline I was given, a time during which I was strung along, re-traumatized, and ultimately, harmed instead of helped. It's hard to explain to those who don't struggle with mental illness how deeply painful it is to get handled so irresponsibly by those to whom you're paying large amounts of money for expertise and support with mental illness. The hopelessness and despair that I felt at the beginning of this journey were only compounded by my experience with TSC, and I now feel worse about my condition than when I started. I felt repeatedly dropped and hung out to dry throughout my time with TSC and I would strongly discourage anyone seeking mental health support from working with Timothy or Joel.

We were recommended this practice by another therapist based on their specializing in autism. About…read more40 mins right before the initial consultation appointment this morning, the receptionist emailed to cancel, saying that their therapist Amaris will not take appointments unless payment was received the day prior and apologized for not mentioning it sooner. The tone was very "matter of fact" and did not try to make things right other than to reschedule for a later date. There were over 8 emails with the receptionist to set up this appointment, and she never once mentioned anything about payment. There was no phone call or anything to request payment once Amaris realized that she didn't have payment. And the kicker? We called the practice to figure out why this happened and the receptionist was full of "ums" and "uhs". We asked whether Amaris knew that payment was never requested of us, and it was radio silence. The question was repeated and she would not answer and hung up on us and immediately blocked our number! We used another phone to call and it worked just fine. So... this is what passes as mental health help these days? They work with clients who already suffer and have difficulties opening ourselves up for mental health help and keeping with tasks like appointments, so they should know better! People with mental health issues have a long journey of trying to find the right trustworthy therapist and this just shows what a messed up industry this is.
