If you are experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety or depression, you are not alone. These are the most common reasons why people seek psychotherapy services. Stress exerts a significant influence on our well-being. Since stress is a part of our lives, how we handle it becomes critical. Psychotherapy offers us the opportunity to sort out our feelings, identify and understand the issues affecting us. It takes a great deal of strength to acknowledge that issues have to be addressed and perhaps dealt with in a different way than in the past. There are many skills that one can learn in psychotherapy that can help us cope and manage our feelings and relationships in more positive ways.

My child was discharged for no reason, no notice, nothing. They had already given her appointment "slot" away, and we could not get it back. Miss more than 3 sessions in a calendar year? OUT! Arrive more than 10 minutes late? Cancellation fee! Have to go inpatient because you're so depressed, and not functioning. Guess what's waiting for you when you get discharged...nothing. That's what. Better start the process of finding a new therapist all over again! Dont let the good reviews fool you. This place is after one thing and one thing only. And btw Susan...your outdated Amazon decor looks like "live laugh love" threw up in a 1 star Olive Garden. Yes, now I'm being petty.

I saw her…read morefirst for mentoring a blended family situation and decided to try again for individual counseling. I've had appointments start 5 minutes later than scheduled time and ending 10-15 minutes early at times, She gave a diagnosis after two visits, quickly formed opinions and didn't seem to listen. When I disagreed with counseling, stating that I felt the advice was contradictory (telling me I deserve to be queen of my castle and then saying I need to be deaf dumb and blind in another visit) she quickly changed her approach with me to be quite more blunt, and harsh with her opinions. Proceed with caution and be sure she's the right therapist for you.

The office manager Lisa grossly misrepresents this company. She is so rude and will talk over you, she did it to my husband and me.

All we needed was a diagnoses to get learning services. When we asked to speak to the owner, Linda Tamm, she REFUSED to speak to us on the phone. She knew we live over an hour away.

The environment is nurturing and supportive, which has made all the difference in helping my kids tackle their anxiety and behavioral challenges. Drs. Smith and Tamm are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and compassionate. They take their time to listen and tailor their approaches to meet the needs of each of my children. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on collaboration and communication; both Drs. ensure that I, as the parent, are involved in the process. I wholeheartedly recommend the team at Strides in Psychotherapy to any parent seeking effective, empathetic, and professional support for their children's mental health!
