First let me say I NEVER write reviews, but for this place Ill make an exception. I actually wasnt able to see a counselor on my first visit, which I realize was a blessing after dealing with the incompetent staff, let me explain. I was running about ten minutes late for my first visit and called ahead asking if I could push my session back a few minutes, I was told there was no problem as long as I wasnt more than 15min late...ok, thats standard for most offices. I paid$$ for a cab and arrived as I expected around 10min late but was dropped off on the wrong side of a medical building that houses their office, I figure out where it is and literally run and make it there right under the wire...whew! The receptionist at the front desk takes my name and gives me paperwork to finish filling out that already has some basic info typed in from my initial phone call. 5min later as Im filling out the paperwork I notice the insurance info is wrong and walk back to the desk tell her...no problem, we can fix that after the appointment...ok, I sit back down and WAIT, and WAIT a little more. During this time Im under the impression they will call me when theyre ready to see me, and Im a little annoyed that I rushed to wait, but again thats standard office practice. 25mins later I walk back to the desk, as I approach the receptionist says " Im sorry Ms.Scott you have to reschedule your appointment". "WHAT?!!!!!" "Yes, Ms.Scott, the counselor would like to have at least 30mins in your session, and likes to read your basic info, we were waiting on your paperwork". "YOU MEAN THE PAPERWORK I WAS GOING TO FIX AFTER THE SESSION!!!!". So I took a cab and wasted money, to then sit in their waiting room and waste time. To say the least a was pissed, but left the office before I started to scream. I called on my way home and requested to speak to the office manager and was told he would call me back. He of course did not, If this is the way they handle potential clients and your management doesnt even bother to call me back, I can imagine the quacks they hire. NO THANKYOU. Thank goodness I never spoke to a therapist there, and hopefully after reading this review you wont either.

What an awful place. Be very aware of Anne Devoe The nurse practitioner. That woman put me on so many antipsychotic meds she practically killed me. I was unable to function. I had extremely high blood pressure and she told me it was because I was overweight... But the drugs Anne Devoe put me on, caused me to have heart palpitations and made my blood pressure high. Anne is Very unprofessional, and one of the worst experiences Ive ever had in my entire life. I would not recommend this counseling services to anybody. As far as Im concerned Anne Devoe should have her license revoked. Anne is an evil Woman that goes on and on about her alcoholism that she has.... The lady is a total nut job. I sat in her office begging her to get me off of the meds she had put me on and she told me we are not going to have this discussion again. Thats when I decided to take my health into my own hands and I fired her.

First one told me I had a demonic presence in my life. Second one said I wasnt a good fit for her. Last one I never saw because I was done trying to find someone I could trust. First one seemed like she was over the line and should be sitting in my chair. Two just sat there and the dumped me after 2 sessions because I have short term memory loss and she couldnt understand that either I guess. The 3rd I never even met yet number two lady said "We dont want you to leave I just think Im not a good fit." I spent quite a bit of money just to be accused of having a demon in me and shuffled around so much that none of it benefited. I guess that $80 a week was pretty cool. Just not cool enough.

Always a pleasant experience here. The office staff is kind and helpful. Sessions with my therapist Barbara Reed greatly improved my depression and anxiety.
