    I am deeply disappointed with how this practice handled billing for my son. To provide context: we…read morehad a phone call with one of their therapists to see if they would be a good fit for my son, an initial consultation to determine availability and compatibility. Their schedule did not work for us, so we moved on. That was the end of it, or so I thought. Months later, I began receiving bills for services I was never informed would be charged. My son never received therapy here. We never came in for an in-person appointment. I called and spoke with Rose, who said she would follow up with the therapist and get back to me. I never heard back. When another bill arrived, I called again. Rose then escalated to the office manager and that's where things went completely sideways. The office manager immediately had an attitude and insisted I had come in for an evaluation. I told her clearly: I was never at your West Bloomfield office. This was entirely by phone. Instead of listening, she proceeded to repeat back private, personal information I had shared with the therapist, essentially using sensitive details about my son's situation to try to prove I had been there. That is a serious concern. She then threatened to "pull the cameras" to show I was there. Please do. Because I was never there. I'll be honest, I did raise my voice. After being spoken to with an attitude, having my concerns dismissed, and having my son's private information thrown back at me, I got frustrated. I am human. She then hung up. I am a parent who has been working hard to find the right therapist for my child. I have had many initial phone consultations and have never been charged for one. The lack of transparency about fees, the aggressive response when I raised a legitimate concern, and the handling of sensitive information in that conversation were all completely unacceptable. I will be following up further.

    The office staff and quality of care is outstanding. Compassionate and truly concerned with your…read morewellness. I would highly recommend Viewpoint to anyone.

    Finding a good match in a therapist can be very difficult. Over the years, I have been to quite a…read morefew therapists but never felt I really connected with them -- or they with me. There have been some I liked as people, but in terms of a therapist, so many have just missed the mark. They either had their own agendas or they really just didn't listen to what I was saying. (Or, in my younger days, the fact that I wouldn't say anything.) This is not the case with Ginger Houghton at Bright Spot Counseling. I have been working with Ginger for a couple of years now. Her approach is very gentle and accepting. I've never felt judged or shamed, and she is generous with her sprinkling of kind words and praise. One of the best things Ginger did for me was recognize -- and label -- my anxiety. While I knew I was anxious, I'd never had a professional put a name to it and then offer a real, solid method to deal with it. She suggested medication but without judgment; she did not say "You should be medicated". Rather, she approached it gently, saying, "I don't know how you feel about this, and some people are definitely against it, but meds are one way to go." This is Ginger's approach -- it's gentle, and made through suggestion rather than through directives. She never says "Do this!", but rather, "What do you think about this?" Or, "What would happen if you tried that?" She never judges -- just suggests -- and she gives me the space to reject her ideas without feeling that she's rejecting me. Working with Ginger is truly a two way street; she listens, she asks questions, and she lets me ask questions. She doesn't have that stand-offish aura that some therapists have; rather, going to see her is like going to visit a friend, except that all the attention is on me. But, unlike other people I've been to, Ginger is willing to reveal a thing or two about herself, which makes it easy to relate to and trust her. Bright Spot Counseling offers many different methods of therapy. So far, I have just done the regular talk therapy, but once the weather gets nicer, I am planning to venture into (out to?) the walk and talk therapy. Just the fact that they recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all proposition demonstrates how in tune they really are with their clients. Bright Spot Counseling truly is a bright spot in my life.
