The lobby was clean and quiet. The room was comfortable. Tiffany, my counselor was friendly and…read moreprofessional. She aways makes me feel at ease. I highly recommend this psychology practice.

I saw my therapist Morgan here and she was awesome but the place itself is predatory and parasitic…read more Before I even became a patient I saw reviews saying they were all about the money and didn't really care about the people and I should have listened. The first red flag was the $100 credit card fee just to register. You have to keep a card on file and they threaten to charge you if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance, and weekends and holidays don't even count. When I asked about it they swore it was only for people who constantly miss appointments and that they totally understand if you get sick or something unexpected happens. I was told not to worry. A few visits in, my therapist scheduled me out several weeks so I always had a regular spot. What I didn't know was that the office also booked me separately without telling me, so I got double booked. I went to my normal appointment but apparently missed another one I never made. When I called, they said it was fine, not my fault, no charges. Then it happened again. I called again, got the same reassurance, and was told everything was taken care of. A week later my therapist told me my appointments were being canceled because I supposedly owed $300. She didn't even know what it was for. She confirmed it wasn't for missed appointments. So what the hell was it? When I tried to talk to someone I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone except a woman named Kate who is a complete tw[at]... there really isn't another word in English language that's more mild that could adequately describe her... rude, gaslighting, abusive, and completely unprofessional. She lied, twisted my words, and talked to me like garbage. After digging around I found out I wasn't the only one. Kate allegedly has a history of verbally abusing patients and crossing lines she shouldn't. Look it up for yourself. This place is a scam. They don't communicate, they don't care, and they will absolutely fuck your life over while pretending to help you. They steal from people, they gaslight you when you question it, and they hide behind fake policies. I later found multiple complaints filed against them with the Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors for misconduct and unethical behavior. It's all public record. In fact, Kate is such a gaslighting narcissist. I would bet money that they respond to this with some more gaslighting. 100% Were there smoke there's fire... and there's actual fire here.

She is very pleasant and professional and always available to schedule a session if I need it. Dr. Smith has been a part of this community for many years and is a good resource for other services that may be needed in the community and online. I feel fortunate to have found her and would recommend her to others who are in need of mental health services.

I have always been a huge proponent of therapy and believe everyone would benefit from seeing a…read moreprofessional regularly. Mental & emotional health are just as important as physical health. Part of the process is finding the right therapist for you. I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr. Smith by my PCP and we were a perfect fit right from the beginning. She is such a great balance of intelligent and educated as well as casual and approachable. From my first visit, she helped me to recognize my limitations and ensure I always felt safe. Subtle things she did, like opening the windows, playing music, and offering me water, were a huge help in easing my anxiety about what I knew would be difficult to discuss. Dr. Smith took the time needed (which for me was 3 visits) and talked about safe topics until I was ready to start touching on the true trauma. Since then, we have identified many triggers and begun to discover the root causes and work through the pain and build healthy coping mechanisms and emotional balance. I highly recommend giving Dr. Smith a try. She will help you feel welcome and relaxed and take cues from you about how to proceed. My suggestion always is to stick it out for 4-6 visits and see if you feel you are connecting with the therapist and making progress, even if it is slowly at the beginning. And sometimes, it's not the right fit...which is also ok. Don't quit, find the right therapist for you. Everyone deserves to learn introspection and to grow into the best version of themselves.
