Extremely arrogant, always unprofessional and late to appointments. Billed my insurance for an appointment didn’t even attend. If you want someone to glaze over and check out while you’re explaining yourself this is the place to go.

I’m writing this review for the counselling house in Woodstock . The lady is hard to talk to and seems to not care when you are talking to her. Didn’t help me at all!!!

I wish I could rate this place zero stars. Started therapy with the owner, and she pondered whether I was emotionally neglected my entire childhood because I was a "gawky kid". It's been a few years and this still plays in my head. Eventually the appointments became ridiculous, me paying $150/hour for "So...what's new THIS week?". It was clear she had no plan for me. And of course she was VERY concerned with making sure she was paid for this time. This was a damaging experience and I caution anyone who thinks this place will... read more
