I read this other one star review and I felt bad for the person writing it. Not because they were…read more"mistreated," but because they had some expectation about how a therapy session is "supposed to be," and that expectation lead them straight out the door of a man who could have actually helped them. Dr. Batista saved my life. I had been to about 10 doctors before I found him and each one was more full of crap than the last. They were far more concerned with comforting me than helping me heal, and their inauthenticity provided me with nothing but a funhouse mirror to bounce my humanity off of. Then they'd complain about my unwillingness to be vulnerable with them (duh) and refer me to someone else or some super intense group therapy that just continued to make things worse for me. Dr. Batista saved my life because he had no interest in coddling me or making me feel comfortable. He new that I needed to face my issues and that meant I had to get uncomfortable for a little while. He made me feel safe because I knew I could trust him to be honest with me. We didn't just talk about the problems... We talked about SOLVING the problems. Sometimes I'd get angry or frustrated because he'd challenge me, but I always ended up being grateful that he did because he forced me to think critically about how I was feeling, and that gave me to tools to eventually not need to see him or any therapist to navigate my life. What a concept! Let me tell you, if you're interested in paying someone to tell you that everything is going to be okay, someone who is going to be your "friend" or someone who quietly allows you to vent all your issues for an hour without ever putting your feet to the fire to own your issues and deal with them, go somewhere else. Dr. Batista has absolutely zero patience for that nonsense, and if there is any part of you that is enjoying the attention you're getting for your ailment, Dr. Batista will expose you to yourself. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING, because in order to heal, you've got to get over that. And if you can't, I promise you he will tell you that there is no need for you to come back to see him again. Dr. Batista doesn't give you want you want... He gives you what you NEED. If you want someone who is actually going to help you heal; Someone who is going to provide you with honest feedback and guidance; Someone who will tell you when he thinks you're full of crap, and force you back onto the road of healing.... If you actually want to get better, and you're ready to do the work, call Dr. Batista. He helped me, and he can help you too.

I would NOT recommend going to Dr. Batista. I don't even know where to begin on how unprofessional…read morehe is. I actually don't know how he keeps a client base. I recently obtained my masters in counseling and am familiar with how a counseling session SHOULD be run. and Dr. Batista does not even follow general counseling 101, it's absurd. I was wary of meeting with him from our initial phone call where he told me it sounded like I had ocd because I cut him off from talking. (Last time i checked the patient is supposed to do the talking. )Despite my reservations, I went to the first appt anyway. I asked if he was going to do a traditional intake and he responded by "ahh we will get to that later." He talked a majority of the session, a lot about other clients stories which is highly inappropriate and when he did allow me to talk, he seemed judgy and almost laughed at what was troubling me. I had one more appt with him and once again he talked the whole session about other patients stories'( Um, how do those stories relate to me?! ). I mentioned that I would like to work on my ocd and he said, "well haha I can't relate because I don't have that!" A counselor is supposed to be non-judgemental, empathetic and understanding. Dr. Batista is none of these! Just when I thought maybe we could talk about one if my many issues, he ultimately shocked me by saying, "well, I think our work here is done and you don't need to see me anymore." He never ONCE let me even talk about all the reasons I was seeking a counselor and he was dismissing me and so harshly at that. I have some pretty significant issues that i wanted to work through and he was letting me go already? How did he know I was not suicidal?! I recently had a whole class on terminating relationships with patients. The process can take weeks/months and it usually has the best interest of the patient in mind. I felt completely rejected and awful after I left that last session. The counseling from Dr. Batista did more damage to me then it was helpful. Heed my warning and seek another professional. Yes, I said "professional." Because Edward Batista is not one and should have his license revoked.
