I was a patient of Dr. Haley when he had his own practice in Scottdale. He was the BEST and his…read morestaff was AWESOME! Kind, compassionate care. Accessible. Timely communication. Professional. Then, Covid happened. He closed his practice, and joined 1 Alliance. Biggest mistake he could have made. He's not the problem. This office is operated by the rudest and most unintelligent ass-clowns I've ever experienced. And his assistant Jill is a pitiful woman. Making an appointment is near impossible. Their response times on phone calls and emails are ridiculous. I couldn't take it anymore. I left this practice after being a long time patient of Dr. Haley because 1 Alliance completely soured the relationship. And the kicker - the office manager when you call the main line couldn't give two shits. No apology. No interest in righting the wrongs. You're just a number to these people. If Dr. Haley doesn't know how poorly all these fools make him look, he should. He really is a great doctor. But the entire staff needs to be fired and replaced. Any place is better than 1 Alliance.

First, let me say that like Valencia, I am a nursing professional and so it does not make me happy…read moreto do this poor review on her. Also, please know that most nursing professionals are ethical, trustworthy, and honest. However, we must highlight the ones that are not as they do an injustice to the profession as a whole. Valencia is a dishonest individual. In the beginning, she presented herself as professional and honest but as the relationship progressed, it was apparent that she does not know what the word "honesty" means. I was referred to her as someone who prescribes weight loss drugs in her practice. Valencia and I had a telehealth visit and in September 2024, I paid her $450 for a month's prescription of a weight loss drug, which she ordered and had sent to my home. We repeated the process for October and that went well also. For my November dose, I paid her my $450 but waited an inordinate amount of time and did not receive my medication. I reached out to her, and she stated that she was having an issue with the pharmacy but that she had a dose at her office and would bring it to me, which she did. I took a break from the drug so did not order for December. In January, I spoke with Valencia about reordering, and she said that would be okay so on January 31, 2025, I sent my $450 to her via Zelle as I had done previously. She verified the receipt of the money and stated that she ordered the drug. I waited 7 days, and it did not arrive. I reached out to her to let her know that and she did not respond. I waited several more days and still she did not respond to my contact, nor did I receive my medication, so I sent her another text message on February 12, to which she also did not respond. On February 14, I sent her an email and asked her to refund my money. I received no response to my email. On February 20, I spoke with my friend who made the referral. My friend spoke with her and said that Valencia said she would call me. I received no call from her. On February 21, I sent her another email letting her know that I would seek legal counsel to retrieve my money from her. On February 23 she sent me an email saying she would send my money that week. As I write this review, it is now April 7, 2025, and I have still not received my $450 nor have I heard back from Valencia Covington. I usually do not do reviews but decided to do this one as I would hate for anyone else to be swindled out of their hard-earned money by this dishonest and untrustworthy individual. Valencia, you are a shame to the nursing profession that I love and revere so much!

From the very start she knew exactly what would work for me and it's been life changing. Psychiatrist are medical doctors. She is a medical doctor. She is NOT a therapist. She focuses on biological factors. I see some reviews and it seems that many people are confused by this. Dr. Vayalapalli is genuinely an excellent DOCTOR and I've been going to her for 10 years. I will not see anyone else. Full stop. Her staff is also excellent and I especially love, Gary.

Dorice irrevocably harmed my marriage…read more I sought Dorice's help, hoping to save my marriage. I was willing to do anything necessary. My wife and I had already visited a counselor who took sides, so I talked with Dorice beforehand to say that we weren't looking for someone to stir conflict or tear one or the other down; we were looking for insight. Dorice said this wasn't her style, saying she had worked with the Gottman institute, a well-respected and well-researched marriage counseling and research firm. I was impressed. We scheduled an appointment. Doris gave us a one-page handout of a happy-home process from Gottman, outlining the strategy she used for working with couples. We never heard or saw anything about Gottman again, and her process was nothing like the brief outline she gave us. Instead, she continued to revisit the same issues over and over again, creating strife. My wife and I would arrive for counseling sessions in good spirits but nervous, and Dorice would pick at old scabs, stirring conflict and getting my wife angry and emotional. I was then left to deal with her anger for three or four days after. We couldn't move to growing or learning, because Dorice would continue to revisit past hurts again and again. I pleaded with her to not keep coming back to the same issue, but she did, making it larger and more important. Dorice decided in our first visit that I was full of shame. I don't have problems with shame. She suggested in our second visit that I was insecure; yes, about losing my marriage, but not much else. She suggested in our third visit that I had been abused. No, never. Each week brought out a new theory, and each week she forgot the prior week's diagnosis. When I leaned forward to listen to what she was saying once -- a good four feet away from her -- she stopped our discussion and said she felt threatened by my presence. I'm a gentle man, never violent, but Dorice planted seeds like that with my wife often. I began to think she didn't trust men. I met with her individually, to ask why we weren't addressing my hurts or my wife's offenses. She said we would get to them eventually. In the meantime, my wife was stirred up weekly about how wrong I was, and felt justified in being angry, never hearing how she was impacting our marriage (nor her family with her.) I insisted on another counselor. That counselor (a male and female couple) saw that there was blame on both sides and wanted to work with both of us. Justified by Dorice that she had nothing she had done wrong, my wife refused to go back to the new counselors once they said she wasn't taking responsibility for her own actions. (Meanwhile, I've continued to see these counselors with much success.) I met with Dorice to tell her I wouldn't be returning, and that my wife was filing for divorce. "Uh huh," she replied. She had no empathy. I also told her that I'd recorded our sessions, for my own use. I told her that I'd listened to them again and heard how genuinely poor her counseling was, and Dorice FLIPPED OUT. She jumped up and stood in my personal space, threatening to call the police. I remained calm and asked her to do the same. She wanted to know if I was going to report her. "Someone needs to know about the harm you're doing to people," I told her. She cried about losing her license, pleading with me to not contact the State Board of Licensing. She showed no concern for my loss but was overwhelmed with fear about her own potential loss. It made me wonder if she'd had other complaints to the state. She insulted me, and then again pleaded for mercy asking me to keep my opinion and my recordings secret. It turns out that a Dorice has some marital disappointment of her own, and I feel like she sees men differently through the lens of her own experience. I asked Dorice about Gottman and her style of counseling. Does she use any empirically validated methods? "No, some people do, but I don't," she said. So basically it appears that she didn't really have any affiliation with Gottman and is just an old lonely woman meddling in marriages and unable to cope with her own past hurts. I recommend you stay away.

I have been to quite a few counselors and this is the first time that I had a great experience. I…read morewent to Dorice when I lived in Georgia and miss our session now that I moved to Oregon. First, my partner and I went to Dorice to help us with our communication issues. We were on the brink of divorce and had a lot of resentment towards one another. Dorice really listened with care each session and provided tools and advice that brought love and respect into our marriage. We would have "homework" after some sessions to assist with communication. Now, it's almost strange to look back on what our relationship was like compared to how much better it is now. I can literally say that Dorice saved our marriage. I then went to Dorice individually after we discontinued with marriage counseling. My grandfather had passed away and I was very close with him. I felt all over the map emotionally and Dorice truly helped me through the grieving process. I was able to do it at my own pace and learn that tears, then anger, then feeling okay all in the same day is just part of the process with the steps of grief and it's not like you do them all in the right order one time and it's done. She also helped me with other personal issues I was facing, included at my job. Dorice has a lovely disposition. She's very intelligent and when I talk to her I feel like she is a wise friend instead of someone that I don't feel comfortable bearing my soul to. Finding a counselor that is a great fit is hard as many of us already know this. Dorice was our perfect fit and I wish I could move her to Oregon because I miss her guidance. Thank goodness she prepared us with tools so we learned what to do on the bad days. I miss you, Dorice!
