I came here a few months back to see a therapist about some trauma I was dealing with. I attended 3 appointments with the therapist. Let me tell you about each appointment.Appointment one, we talked about her and her drug use in highschool. We talked about how she didnt have to do the work because she tested out all the time. When we spoke of me, she had nothing to say.Appointment two was similar to the last one, except this time she was on her computer a whole lot. I would say things, and it took her a minute to respond. When she did respond, it was very hard to take herself away from whatever she was doing on the computer. I had to repeat myself a lot because of how much she wasnt paying attention.Appointment three. She was on her computer the entire time. When I would say something, I would allow the room to fall into silence and it still took her about a minute for her to peel her eyes away from her laptop and either nod or say sorry, what? or whatever vague response she could regurgitate at me. I decided to test her by saying something extremely nonsensical, and when the room fell to silence she vaguely responded as if I was still talking about my trauma. I couldnt believe it. Also, I could see what she was doing in the reflection of her glasses. If youre gonna mess around on your computer and ignore someone, at least take off your glasses! I can see what youre doing!
I attended a training session presented by Melanie Squire and I was blown away! Having been to a EAP therapist prior and not feeling as though the therapist understood me, I was quite skeptical. Within the first 5 mins of her training I knew she and her team were the correctly trained professionals that this industry needed! She restored faith in therapists for me and taught me its ok to look harder for treatment that suits me. Is it odd Im looking forward to therapy? Who cares...I am and her training made the difference. Thank you!
Melanie Squire and her staff are the best I have ever worked with. No matter what time of day I was able to contact them and talk with them about my issues.I highly recommend this company to anyone military or civilian.
