I don't think I have ever given a one star review, but I think I have to this time given the importance of my visits with her. I went to her with my partner for couple's counseling. Before I discuss her, I need to give a brief description of my partner's personality. I love him but he struggles with anger and moodiness. He believes anything he hears or reads, on an emotional level, so if he were to read a bad horoscope for instance, he believes his day is doomed. (A joke, but not far from the truth.) This is why it is very important that we see a very professional, competent and compassionate therapist.
My partner had the better insurance, so he chose her without research because she was the person at the very top of his list of accepted therapists. (I personally would have analyzed all the different options.) We came to her wanting to strengthen our relationship, but she had her heart set on constantly telling us that we didn't belong together. Her mindset is that relationships aren't something that require work, they are dependent only on the personality match of your partner. After just a couple sessions, she attempted to ruin everything that we have worked so hard for 5 years, relationship building, by not suggesting, but telling us we needed to break up.
I was devastated, regretted ever going to her, wasn't able to pull myself together to take care of my own needs that day. That day I failed my final exam in one of my classes, ended up with a B in that class and ruined my otherwise flawless GPA. haha If you want a couple's counselor that will side with the more abusive and unstable one in the relationship, choose her! She said we wouldn't last 6 more months, and yet we are still going strong more than a year later, without her in our lives. Always do your research before choosing a therapist!! read more
