I was a patient of hers for 25 years and now I fortunately am not. Originally she was helpful, but…read morethere's no strategy in her therapy and she's gone off the deep end with the political conspiracy stuff in the past 10 years... none of which I asked for on my dime. Unhinged political speeches aside, therapy sessions are like getting a haircut and talking to the hair dresser. No techniques, no strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, etc, just hairdresser talk. I thought this was normal for a long time, which is a shame. Key example, after a rough patch for me 10 years ago, I had to see another therapist while I was seeing Heidi to learn cognitive behavioral therapy because when I asked Heidi to do CBT, she said we've already been doing that when we never actually had. Not a good sign, but I stuck with Heidi for god knows why and it was a mistake. I think I was scared to change therapists because of the long process of getting to know another therapist, but I'm glad I did. I do CBT with my therapist now, and there's structure, journaling, psychology principles, actual analysis. It feels like there's structure and purpose now. Nevertheless, I still stuck with Heidi for another 10 years after that when I shouldn't have, and I hit tilt with her unhinged political rants I never asked for and her overall ineffectiveness. You don't want to open up to a therapist like that. She used to be a lot more normal, but she is clearly become warped and let the nutty beliefs become her baseline demeanor. In the end, she shouldn't be talking to people that need help, especially mentally ill patients who don't need to be bombarded with more craziness and negativity. She acted extremely unprofessionally. I worry for her patients that open up to her and get shut down by her immediately if they don't believe in the same conspiracies that she does. I failed that test and faced her wrath. I'm very disappointed in her because she isn't a bad person, but the politics has a real grip on her judgement. She needs to take a long break from social media and political shows on tv. One of those people that needs a break from the news. In a nutshell, she isn't a safe space for a patient. A patient shouldn't have to endure lunatic political conspiracy rants as a precondition of treatment. I'm disappointed I paid her for those rants. Bottom line, If you need marital help, then maybe she can help, as that seems to be her specialty, but if you struggle with mental issues, she isn't structured and is ineffective. I regret the time I spent paying her, now that I know what a good therapist is. I accepted mediocrity for a long time, and in the end, craziness. Until it was too much. It sucks, but if you aren't totally good with the state of the world and want to talk about it, prepare for a fringe soapbox MAGA lecture you didn't ask for on your dime. Read the room Heidi, you're getting paid to listen to patients, they're not getting paid to listen to your craziness.

While Tom Cruise may not agree, I think therapy is very helpful and makes your life better…read more Lisa is a good therapist. As a previous reviewer mentioned Lisa's style is warm and inviting. She holds a Phd. in Psychology which I think is a added benefit as a lot of therapists don't have that level of training. Second she has a lot of experience that she can draw from. Lisa is a good listener, not judgmental, and tries to give practical suggestions that you can actually put into use after each meeting. If you have never done this before, basically this is how it work. First you give her a call and she gives you some basic info and such and you can setup an appointment. Then you go in and fill out paper work like at any doctor's office. The process is very private, unlike a busy doctor's office there is no receptionist, the waiting room is quiet, and the only person you interact with is Lisa. Her and the other Therapists that work in her office seem to schedule appointments so you never see another person. After you fill out the paperwork, you flip a switch to let her know you are ready. Her office is really nice, the couches are comfortable and there is a lot of natural lighting. She'll talk with you about why decided to come in, and what you want to talk about or accomplish. You then get started, basically you decide what you want to talk about. The time goes by quickly and the sessions last about 45 minutes. People seem to feel weird talking about going to therapist / life coach, that is too bad. I also think that some people believe therapy is reserved for people with major mental health issues... but that is not really the truth, while I'm sure Lisa is well able to help people who are suffering from a disorder, I think that people with more run of the mill work, family, money etc situations can actually get a lot out of therapy. Both as a couple and individually. The real advantage of talking with Lisa you can gain more insight into your own thinking, and better communicate with your partner, boss, co-workers etc, so you can take better control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. If you are on the fence about doing it, just do it. It is like having a personal trainer for your brain.

Me not pleased,. We…read morewere assisted by Mrs Pamela Ferguson (Pam), for three years with couples (marriage) counseling. Mrs Ferguson's credo is just live with proper "christian" etiquette, stuff up your problems, live on as if they don't exist and eventually everything will solve itself. What she did give us was "practical advice". When we told her we went on vacation to our hometown and were worried about some family issues she advised us to make sure we stopped newspaper delivery during our trip. An other recommendation she made, even a few times, was to put dots on the labels of the laundry of the kids so that we can more easily sort them when washed. Very friendly of her, but not what we were paying a therapist for! Mrs Pamela' s son died when he was in college and she will take every opportunity to tell you about him. I have the feeling that we were footing the time she needed to come to terms with her loss. In her private life she is quite well-off and I had the feeling that real life problems of real life people (like us) don't exactly resonate with her. Also, I have found her to be conservative and narrow minded. We have visited Mrs. Pam for almost three years, most of the time once a week. In this period she suggested (advised?) the possibility of divorce regularly, and offered repeatedly to assist with the process. Instead we eventually chose for our marriage by looking for help elsewhere. The process we went into after that, was rough and painful. We needed to tear open all that was just stuffed away in the "Mrs. Pam years". You have to be open for it, and invest yourself into it, but in the end it did indeed give real results. If you are looking for couples counseling, go somewhere else, I am glad we did.
