This lady is horrible..don't go to her. She only cares about the money...she is not there for help people.

I initially called and told her the days that I was available and that I wanted to make an appointment..but I also told her in that voicemail that I would like to speak to her on the phone before I went in. She called back and told me the days she was available. I called her back and said I could come at a certain time but to please call me first so we could talk. She called me back and left me a vm stating that she had me in for a certain time and looked forward to seeing me. I decided to just go even though we hadn't spoke on the phone. When I got there as soon as it was time for my hour she came out and gave me the paperwork to fill out. 'Will this cut into my time' I asked. She said well I only give 45 minutes anyway. 45 minute? Most therapists give atleast 50-55minutes. Clearly she dosnt care about her client if she only gives them the bare minimum. I then told her I don't think that its going to work because I know for a fact that other therapists give more time and that it really just depends on the therapist and I already had a bad feeling about this lady. She took my paperwork and said well Im sorry "if your going to leave I still need to get paid for my time." I left crying because I knew I had been ripped off. She didn't provide a service but only cared about getting paid about it. If she really cared about people she wouldn't have done that. If I said it wasn't working from the beginning she should have just let me go without being so adamant about getting paid. And I was trying to find out more details and could have found out about how long her sessions were if she would have just told me a good time to call her to talk before the appointment like I had asked..but she didn’t..she was just all about getting me in and making a quick buck. If your looking for a real therapist that cares..dont go to this lady..you will just get ripped off. I felt so wronged..but she didn't care...atleast she made some money right.
