What recent reviews say

Counselors Leah and Patricia earn strong praise for compassion and concrete help with family and child issues, but office staff consistently fail to answer phones or return messages, and administrative errors on insurance claims have frustrated clients repeatedly.

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

Recent shift: Office communication worsened after previous manager left roughly 5 years ago; no improvement evident in recent years.

Praised for
  • compassionate counselors
  • skilled guidance for families and children
  • transformative support for mental health and life challenges
Watch-outs
  • office staff unresponsive to calls and emails
  • administrative follow-up failures
  • insurance claim mishandling

Best for: Families and parents seeking skilled, caring counselors for child behavior and family healing.
Think twice if: Expect slow response times; office staff may not return calls or emails promptly, and insurance claims have been mishandled.

Strengths

  • Counselors recognized by name for deep compassion and skill
  • long-term therapeutic relationships clients trust
  • family-centered approach praised across reviews

Worth knowing

  • Leah praised for diagnosis guidance and long-term child counseling
  • Patricia named for family healing support
  • Office staff turnover (previous manager left) correlates with communication issues
  • Insurance claim mishandling reported by multiple clients
