What recent reviews say

One year-long client praises the clinical insight and compassion of their counselor, who identified conditions others missed. Separate reviewer reports being charged twice on their credit card without explicit consent during a self-pay ADHD assessment, with the office citing a form to justify an unauthorized insurance copay charge.

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

Common questions

Can I do a virtual appointment if I need to reschedule last-minute?
Yes. One reviewer reports the office rescheduled them to a virtual visit on short notice.
What happens if I self-pay but the office finds my insurance?
Review evidence shows the office may charge your insurance copay after discovering it, citing consent language in intake forms. Clarify billing authorization in writing before your first appointment.
