She cares nothing about helping people except enforcing her 72 hour cancellation policy and blabbing about how she "wrote a book". When I tried to explain to her that I have a chronic pain issue and have a very difficult time traveling, she couldn't care less and was extremely condescending. It was honestly the most upsetting experience interacting with her on the telephone, and I can't even imagine going to her for any sort of assistance during a difficult time. Please stay away from her. In response to Rachel: I didn't FAIL to show up. I called with three days notice and CANCELLED the appointment. You refused to let me cancel and stated you were a professional and were going to be paid for your time. Saying I did not show up on your billing statement is a LIE. With the help of the Grieving and Counseling Services of Santa Barbara Hospice, I have reported your unethical billing practices to the Behavioral Sciences Board of California. I can only hope the other "disgruntled" persons do the same. ****For the "disgruntled" individuals, here is the link to report Rachel Aarons. https://www.breeze.ca.gov/datamart/loginCADCA.do;jsessionid=47076E95B7BA00B45535EF60592598C2.vo7 Scroll to California Board of Behavioral Health Sciences, then scroll to Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Then write your complaint The website will time-out without warning, so write your complaint up in a program and copy and paste it into the window. It is a fairly easy process, and I highly recommend you do this instead of being extorted to pay for services you cancelled/didn't receive.
