IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 0 STARS, I WOULD. (Sorry, its a long story. TLDR; at the end.)…read more I've thought about writing this review for a while now, going back and forth for months now, but I think its finally time I said something. I was a patient of Angel Marsiglio, at Lifestance Health, from 2015 to 2024. For a long time, therapy was pleasant. At least, I perceived it to be, at the time. But it wasn't until some space away and research on my part did I realize how many red flags I was ignoring in that time period. Firstly, a therapist should never pass judgement on their client. And there were plenty of times I felt judged by Angel, either due to my political beliefs, my sexuality, or my goals/aspirations for the future. Being told, bluntly, "well, that's not realistic," or "I think you'll change your mind someday," or "well, I don't agree with that" isn't appropriate for any therapist. But I looked past it, because we had such a "good" relationship. Which meant we had pleasant conversation, and she was really good at raising my self esteem. But when it came to doing any actual work with my sexual trauma, my abusive childhood, or my other concerns, I always felt we were beating around the bush. (In fact, she even had the nerve to tell me, to my face, "Your parents didn't BEAT you so can you really say they were abusive?" This made me feel like I couldn't properly talk about how I feel about my family, with total honesty, given her clear judgements of my attitude.) It wasn't until 2020 that I made that clear to her. She said we'd start digging deeper. Towards the later half of 2022, I insisted I felt like my trauama wasn't being addressed, as well as concerns that I have ADHD. After a long time, I got an ADHD diagnosis from a specialist that Angel recommended, and learned how ADHD is impacting my life more than I thought. And how that, coupled with my C-PTSD, is proving to be a bigger problem in my life than my anxiety. Angel disagreed. She also informed me she disagreed with me when I said how ADHD can't be cured with therapy. I felt uncomfortable with that, but didn't press on because of our relationship. Angel said she "saw me like another daughter." Among other flattering things. I didn't realize how inappropriate it was at the time. After a while, beginning 2023, I started asking Angel if we could look into IFS therapy. Time and time again, she more or less refused to do so. Saying "I don't know what that could offer you that I can't," despite me explaining VERY clearly why I think IFS would be beneficial for me. This made me VERY uncomfortable and I started looking for a new therapist after that, who DOES practice IFS therapy. After a lot of back and forth, between the two therapists, I took a month long break from Angel (after discussing the idea with her) to work with this new therapist. Sort of to contrast and compare. After the month was over, I booked my final appointment with Angel. Where expressed to her that this new therapist is working with me on the things I feel are issues, and the things I want to focus on healing. I explained how this new therapist understands my ADHD isn't something to be cured, but something to learn to adapt to. I also explained how much IFS has helped me realize things about myself, my past, and my conditions, that I have yet to work on. Things that I feel are significant problems in my life, that Angel and I have yet to dissect in our own therapy sessions. She looks me in the eye and says "So what you're saying is we're done here?" I awkwardly explain that I feel guilty about it, but yes, I wanted to stop our sessions. Angel then says, word for word: "Well, I'm just gonna tell you that I pretty much disagree with everything you've said. But I hope you find what you're looking for. There's no real point in finishing our appointment then, so, goodbye." Then she ended the call. Seven minutes into our hour long appointment. And STILL charged me for the full hour. She was my therapist for nearly ten years. She said she saw me as a second daughter. She's confided in me when she's had emotional problems and family troubles. Angel Marsiglio was responsible for our relationship becoming unprofessional, leading to my therapy being compromised, and then acted offended when I wanted to move onto something beneficial, AND had the nerve to treat me so callously? If I was in a bad state of mind, that sort of "goodbye" likely would have landed me in the hospital. With no due respect, Angel Marsiglio may be a fine counselor, but she doesn't belong anywhere near the field of psychotherapy. TLDR: Angel Marsiglio took me on as a client for 9 years, turned our relationship unprofessional from the beginning by treating me like a DAUGHTER instead of a CLIENT, and thusly led to ineffective therapy. When I found a new therapist and tried saying goodbye, she acted like she met me three days ago, knowing I have abandonment issues and mother trauma. She can kick rocks.

No mention of compensating me for another visit (even after I asked) just a lot of NLP + gaslighting on how I should be integrating my charges.
