She merges her compassionate understanding of value of effective communication strategies and keen level of attentive listening to help craft a new approach. As with any new path, the desire to fall back into old routines is common but she offers a firm hand of support to guide you back on course and if necessary, will help you not overlook the thinking process that caused the regression. She is also a woman that can actually understand not only a woman's perspective, but a male's viewpoint as well. This, in turn, has definitetly fosters a level of trust necessary to follow her guidance. Lisa is exactly what a therapist should be to help a person grow and become a better person.

i did therapy with Laura from 2022-2023. Laura was a good bridge for my mental health but…read moreunfortunately, over time, I found her to lack the level of integrity and sincerity I hold myself to and seek in another, especially a trained, professional therapist. She inserted her opinions several times without my asking, including her views on religion, politics, and even made statements about me or family members, rather than posing questions from a place of collaboration and curiosity, allowing the client to draw their own conclusion. When I confronted her about this she consistently gaslit me, "I apologize you feel...", which anyone off the street knows that is NOT an apology but an evasive way to side-step accountability of an irresponsible and potentially dangerous approach to conducting therapy. Over time the sessions felt more and more cookie cutter and I sensed how she was not present. I addressed this with her and nothing changed. When I broached this again, noting that when I started with her she assured me she works with highly sensitive individuals, like me, her response was, "Unfortunately, my brain does multi-task and that is not something I can correct. If I am sitting with you and hear the garbage truck, my brain may go to "I wonder if the kids took out the garbage." While I wear noise-dampening headphones in sessions to reduce distractions, the reality is I could be in an isolation chamber and my brain would try to make connections. Again, I can see where that would present as multi-tasking, and apologize that it felt like I was not in tune with you." Again, read between the lines: "I apologize you feel...". No accountability. Annnnd no genuine remorse. I also had a really bad moment and I reached out to her and she did not respond at all; I followed up and she made up an excuse, "I read your text between clients, responded and forgot to hit send." This was the 2nd time she flaked but I kept forgiving her and being understanding. Finally, her approach is very friendly but she equally comes off as compartmentalized/not warm and I can count on one hand the number of questions she asked me in over 9 months of therapy (she was not genuinely curious about me/my life). Her excuse? "I have to keep therapeutic boundaries." One thing I have learned is People Don't Change if they cannot see the problem. The same goes for therapists. Save your $ and find a therapist with a backbone and who you can know in your bones cares by the manner with which they conduct therapy.

Dr. Kimberly Benson has been the most instrumental part of my recovery. After years of struggling…read morewith my anger and rage, I am free. It hasn't been an easy road however Dr. Benson had complete confidence in my recovery plan and techniques that have been priceless. I use to blame others for my own decisions and reek havoc in every relationship I've ever had. After having sessions with Dr. Benson I have found new coping skills, insight and the knowledge for emotional maturity that has saved my marriage. I can't say enough about the freedom my husband and and I are experiencing after I was able to take a hard look at myself and do the work necessary that was required by Dr. Benson. I highly recommend anyone who has struggled with addiction, emotional immaturity, marriage issues or life skills in general. Thank you so much Dr. Benson and see you next month.

On two different occasions she was 20 and 40 minutes late for my son's appointment. She allowed a medical student to participate in his session without my permission (he is a minor). I asked her to suggest a coping mechanism for dealing with his frustration and she said she only deals with medication. She then claimed, "I don't want to step on his counselor's toes," but the counselor told me they would work together! She is very slow about returning calls. At my son's previous session she said she would probably increase the dose of his medication at the next appointment, then today backtracked and said she didn't want to. One minute she said it was very low dose and then she said she's concerned about overdosing him. What a complete waste of money. Her initial intake appointment is over $600 and her follow ups are $230 for 30 minutes. We will find another psychiatrist that actually cares about my son and is affordable or accepts insurance.

Over the years, I personally witnessed serious boundary and ethical concerns involving both myself…read moreand my wife while under Patti's care. The therapeutic relationship appeared to become increasingly blurred, emotionally unhealthy, and damaging to our family. In my opinion, professional boundaries and objectivity were not maintained in ways that should occur within therapy. I encourage others seeking treatment to carefully consider the importance of ethical standards and clear therapeutic boundaries. Lastly, my direct experience with Patti over the years has left me concerned about ongoing impairment issues due to mood and mind altering substances as she has a known history of this. During many of my sessions I witnessed Patti "nodding out." At one point she slept for about minute before she ended up jerking her head that ultimately woke her back up. These types of experiences ultimately led me to discontinue seeing Ms. Thompson. I myself have also filed a complaint with the Florida department of health which is currently under review with the states attorney office due to the various forms of inappropriate behavior and boundary crossings.
