My wife and I, both women, see a marriage/sex therapist here twice a month. Both my wife and I have…read moresuffered some sexual traumas in our late teens that have shaped some negativity in our lives. My wife, a generally straight woman fell in love with me as a person but needed some help understanding and incorporating sex into our relationship. Something she has done very well and is now proudly and functionally bisexual. To maintain a clear line of communication, seeing marriage/sex counselor has been paramount to our marriage success. The entire staff at this place has been professional, supportive and easy to work with. Scheduling is easy and the office environment is very relaxing. I highly recommend these professionals. They have been very open and nonjudgmental about our same sex marriage. We both feel very comfortable there.

My family had a really positive first impression of Mary Wilkie--she was helpful during a very…read moredifficult day, and we were hopeful about working with her. Unfortunately, our experience since then has been extremely disappointing. She saw my son individually for two sessions and met with us as parents once before we had a family session after another issue arose. During that family session, she did not address the situation at hand, focused on irrelevant topics, and was dismissive when we tried to redirect the conversation--even after inviting us to 'correct her if she was wrong.' The way she spoke to us came across as rude and disrespectful, which only made our family's communication worse instead of better. To make matters worse, the session lasted only half the scheduled time, yet I expect we'll be charged the full amount. I left feeling angry, offended, and let down. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend her services, and I sincerely hope no other family goes through what we did.

All I would do is isolate myself in my room couldn't eat couldn't sleep. I felt hopeless and more hopeless every day. It was a task just to get out of bed and do the simplest tasks. Going to the store was like a nightmare I would be in and out as very fast as I can. After friends reading my posts on social media. A good friend I haven't heard from in many years Sympathized with me told me about happy minds I was skeptical at 1st but we suffered from some of the same disfunction. The initial visit I poured my heart out and Dr Chissity would just listen he was taking notes. He was very professional and really seems to sincerely care. After a few visits I have been a patient for a few years. Like I said after being to sooo many mental facilities hands down dr. Chastity is hands down THE BEST. anyone out there needing mental help all I can say is take the leap. Ain't nothing to it but to do it Sincerly, Samson Martinez .

This counselor allows a person who is unkind and controlling to remain in the group and punishes others who have experienced PTSD with that person - by dropping them. The rude person gets to stay - the person who has PTSD is asked to leave. This is not a safe place for those who have experienced abuse. And since reading this review, all of a sudden the counselor wants to talk with the peson she dropped without notice or any commucication. It's really hard to know what she cares about - her clients safety or her reputation. Repeat - If you have suffered abuse, this is not a safe place for you. One star is too much.

As cliché as it sounds, I can honestly say that working with Lindsay changed my life. Who am I…read morekidding? With the tools and insight she provided over our 18 months working together, she's continuing to change my life. I sought out counseling services when life felt unbearably bleak, difficult, and dark. I came in, grasping for control and hoping for a quick fix, which in hindsight is utterly laughable. I think if I knew how much baggage I needed to unpack and how much "inside" work it would take, I never would have begun the process, but with Lindsay's gentle and steadfast guidance, I was slowly but surely able to pull myself out of the weeds. With her help (and a lot of healthy work), I've found my voice and have begun to thrive in a visceral, sustainable and powerful manner- what a gift she has given me! Lindsay is thorough, receptive, non-judgmental, open to talking about therapy within therapy (so meta, I know), insightful, funny, wise, kind, gentle yet straightforward, and very easy to talk to. She questioned and helped me dig when I needed to be pushed and gave me space when she recognized that I needed to come to my own conclusions. The way she approaches counseling is thoughtful and intentional, but never calculated, which is invaluable. Overall, all I can say is this: Lindsay led me through a very challenging period of my life and for that I will forever be grateful. I've been through my fair share of counseling in the past with poor results- I'm so thankful for this positive experience to fall back on as needed. If you're feeling lost, trapped, stuck, like you're drowning...do yourself (and your loved ones!) a solid: go see Lindsay, commit to doing the work, and stick with it, even when it get's hard. People are messy, life is hard, but she's one of the great ones out there.
