Dr. Atkinson is amazing! He has helped me so much! He listens and offers solid advice to overcome my issues. He helps me thrive even though I have struggled with bipolar disorder for 13 years. I have tried other therapists, but they acted like they were just in it for the money. Dr. Atkinson truly cares about his patients.

"Doctor" Atkinson (who is not a medical doctor, only a psychologist) supports bunk science around being able to cure homosexuality. He is angry, political and lets his faith interfere in his profession. Steer clear. I suspect this man struggles with homosexual or bisexual feelings, as he does seem motivated to go on a rampage about it online.

I have to agree w/the other 1-star ratings for him. He may try treating people (as seen in a few of these ratings), but when I was sent to him it wasn't for treatment but for evaluation to see if I was "malingering" on a medical claim. Just like the 2015 review, I never even met him, was just given a test to take. The results (computerized?) showed “NO malingering”, yet this quack wrote his “opinion” was that I was “cynical enough to try to take advantage” – I guess of my insurance company.

Dr. Atkinson is using therapies which are not mainstream. In fact, he uses techniques which were proven in court to be consumer fraud (JONAH case). Every medical expert testified such 'therapies' cure nobody and harm many. Atkinson is merely using psychological jargon to impose his extremist religion on unsuspecting clients. Expect a long, drawn-out charm offensive to hide the real agenda: he will cure you of your ability to think for yourself.

The counsel my husband and I have received from Dr. Atkinson has been instrumental in helping us through some turbulent times as a blended family. I think my husband likes that Dr. Atkinson is direct and to the point, and I appreciate that he is a good listener. He has been married for many, many years and is also a father so he is able to share his own stories of personal growth with us. We learn something insightful at every visit and always leave his office with goals to pursue together.

He is very personable and down to earth. He listens and provides feedback, but is never critical or judgemental . I feel comfortable talking to him and I really feel I am progressing.

I was sent to him for evaluation by MMPI-2, but he never met with me or spoke with me. His receptionist gave out the test, then collected it and he wrote a report based on running it through a computer scoring program. Then he added several statements of his own that had no bearing on the scores.
