So, this has taken a solid 2 to 3 years to actually write but I have thought about these couple times myself and soon to be husband went and saw him. - At the time, we were not doing well, trying to figure out where our combined family would meet in the middle. This was the breaking point for us. I would like to begin out with saying if you are a man, you are golden! But, by chance you are a woman looking to save your marriage, please DO NOT GO TO HIM! He is one of the most unprofessional, toxic, narcissistic people out there in the therapy realm. I had to go to therapy to just talk about the experience I had with him alone! - When you say something he does not like he will automatically characterize you as the problem and then correct it in his own way to make you believe that’s what you should do. Gas light much?My boyfriend and I ended up not going back and I found someone else who was more capable of our needs.A few years later him and I are the happiest we have been and getting married, if we had stayed with this man we certainly would have not made it.You should be ashamed.
Has no empathy at all. Be very careful if you decide to go with this man as your therapist. Mostly if you are a woman.
WARNING!!!!! Dont chose him as a phycologist if you are a woman trying to save your marriage or a relationship. I was so desperate that I did not read the reviews. I was looking for the therapist with the earliest appointment possible. Boy, what a huge mistake I made. I just want to point out, that took me more than a year to write this review. This therapist use intimidation as a method when interviewing woman. Ive had the chance to think about it for a long time. And the best way to describe my experience is that, he will simply be sided with he man and will not help you in any way or form possible to resolve the issue. I left my ex days after seen this therapist (this was one of the most difficult times of my life). He gave my ex literally permission to be emotionally abusive with me. Boyd, I will never forgive YOU for that. He will not give a woman the same space to express herself than the partner, and this made me felt so uncomfortable, up to the point that I was just completely silent and avoided any future contact with him. Boyd Sherbourne: I will never forget your intimidating looks while trying to ask me questions. This is why I am writing this review now. As Im writing this I have a sensation of freedom. I hope this help someone and please, please always read the reviews for everything. God bless you all and this beautiful country!
One of the best psychotherapists I have ever found. His knowledge is equally matched by his compassionate communication. I am feeling so much better and so grateful for his expert help. It is so wonderful to find a therapist who can actually make a difference. He does not just listen! He is an active participant with so many great ideas for coping with anxiety and past trauma!
Im a veteran and thought this guy would be a good fit. Not even close. His demeanor is aggravating and off putting, and he seemed to have a constant need to one up anything I had to say. His listening abilities are almost non existent. I lasted two sessions with him before I left, and ended up getting great care at Alexander Counseling Center. Stay away from this guy.
Dr. Sherbourne is a top-notch psychologist here in the Southern Oregon Rogue Valley. I came to Boyd with a laundry list of thoughts and beliefs to sort out and I was treated with kindness and respect every step of the way. Boyd listened to me, asked questions and got me to think about things in a different light. He helped me to give myself a break and move forward! If you are the type that wants to participate in your health care and you dont just expect a clinician to fix you then, this is who you are looking for. Boyd was willing to meet me half-way on a lot of topics and reflected on some of his own experiences along the way - which put me at ease and gave me perspective. He was easy to schedule with and never canceled last minute. Would recommend to anyone that isnt afraid to be real and work hard.
He does an authoritarian thing that probably plays best with the military guys. I thought he was terribly unprofessional. He had a lot to say about his personal life and comparing his ex to me. It was extremely uncomfortable and Very long session that stuck with me Many years. I felt that he was very unsafe in his behavior and attitude towards me, so much that it was almost surreal. I debated reviewing but have worried about any other woman seeing him... or fragile teenage girls. Or anyone for couples counseling. This person should not be a therapist or should limit his scope to divorced military men. He has serious issues with woman.
Went to see this man for marriage counseling. My now ex husband and I went and the man had no compassion or understanding of what we were going through. Total waste of time and money. Do your research and find someone who truly cares more about helping people instead of charging high dollars for a fancy degree.
He was amazing, hands down. It has been almost a year since I was referred to Dr. Sherbourne through the VA and while I was nervous at first after a few sessions I realized my fears couldnt have been further from reality. It was unlike any care Id received from the military or VA. It was personal and designed to help me, no matter what I brought to session. The quality of your therapist truly makes the difference, and for the first time in five years I feel hopeful. Dr. Sherbourne gave me the help and tools I need to steer my life back where I want it to be.
In my experience he was super helpful I was really struggling with keeping my emotions in check and dealing with my social and mental life and he taught me multiple skills on how to cope and deal with my issues he has helped me exponentially and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Sherbourne is an honest & genuine therapist who is empathetic, knowledgeable & trustworthy. He has assisted my husband & myself to better mental health and a better quality of life for ourselves, our family & friends. The path to better mental health is not easy & can be quite painful. However, with Dr. Sherbournes guidance & expertise, we are thriving. We would highly recommend Dr. Sherbourne for anyone wanting a healthier life & are willing to do the work to get there.
My girl friend made an appointment with this guy for her and myself and he was anything but professional. Like someone else said in a different post, he is beyond arrogant. He started complaining about how every one, the professionals, in the community has given him a bad reputation, I now see why. The funny thing was that we were not there to help him, and he clearly wasnt going to be of any help to us. Before it was all said and done, he wanted us to pay for our free consultation and so we left. I would never refer he to anyone, in fact I hope he gets the help he needs so he can help others instead of looking for others to help him!!
After hearing about Dr. Sherbournes skills with trama victims from another VA psychologest, I moved to Medford after retireing. I was fortunate to be assigned to his case load at the White City VA. When he moved on I followed him to private practice. He treats me for PTSD related to my Military and Law Enforcement experience. Due to his work with me I am able to live a normal life today. Thanks Doc.
I saw Boyd a few times after going through my divorce, I found him to be arrogant and unprofessional. Admittedly, I had to do a last minute cancellation with him because my dog had to have an emergency surgery and almost died, he was completely unempatheic, argumentative and flat out rude. His response/reaction to my having to cancel was totally irrational and unacceptable. If thats how he counsels people, he has NO business working with people. Do yourself a favor and find someone else...
Having worked with Boyd for a number of years now, I have found that his ability to think “outside of the box” is the key to his success. His innate and professional abilities in assisting the reprocessing of thoughts and emotions are extraordinary. Boyd helped me envision, formulate and execute a life trajectory that I was only bold enough to dream of. His dedication to his profession is beyond reproach. I have never questioned Boyd’s commitment to me, and with that security…I have thrived. Boyd Sherbourne is a team player.C.L. (Ashland, OR.)USNCF
