What recent reviews say

One reviewer called a counselor here "one of the best hands down," but a more recent experience was sharply different: a couple arrived for their appointment with Lisa Cooke Branham after confirming by phone and completing paperwork, only to find she had not reviewed any of it and seemed unaware of their reason for being there.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Watch-outs

professional-demeanor
Think twice if: those who value thorough preparation and consistent care; recent feedback suggests gaps in coordination.
