What recent reviews say

Most reviewers report positive relationships with their therapists. Celeste, Lee, Yvonne, and Susan are named as compassionate clinicians who listen and work collaboratively. Telehealth availability is valued. One significant complaint describes a therapist who declined to treat and charged for a 26-minute session, citing the client as "too damaged" and discouraging outside resources.
