I felt that our counselor was very unfair. Dr Priscilla. Just like a previous review on here, I’m not sure if this is a good place to receive marriage counseling. I went into our appointment not expecting to talk negatively of each other, but instead see how we can work on ourselves to become better. Which is why right away I explained how my own actions have contributed to why we ended up in counseling. I explained how I needed to be better. Dr Priscilla then allowed my to vent about me right after and the rest of the time. Some things were half truths as well. When I tried explaining my side (I didn’t want to trash talk my husband so I only explained more when things were brought up) she cut me off repeatedly and did not let me talk. My husband also noticed this. At some points I was even vulnerable and talked about my depression and suicidal thoughts. No response or care. It seemed like she didn’t want to hear my side once she made her judgment on me. I left the appointment very traumatized because I put my trust in this counselor. To make it worse, we didn’t even go over the bad things my husband did to me. So I felt unheard. We are seeing a different counselor somewhere else who is incredible. And what’s funny is once he took the time to hear both of us, things switched and he understood me!! Crazy how that works
This is the best and only place to go to be seen for anything and everything you are going through and dealing with personally or in your family. Aaron has truly been a blessing for me and helped me realize and understand myself and how to understand my wife and others better! Don’t go anywhere else. They truly care to help!
I have been so impressed by the EXPERIENCE of all the counselors and the PROFESSIONALISM of everyone there.Great place for improving marriage and families!I love the dedication to faith and Christian values, and I think it shows in the atmosphere. Theres just a great energy, you can feel it right when you walk in! They seem to all have a passion for improving marriages and families, but I know that they have counselors who specialize in other areas also.Very inviting place, feels like a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE!My only problem... it is SO easy to miss from the road. I think I drove past it the first time I went, sooo easy to miss if you arent paying attention. Its a pretty normal looking building.Theres a parking lot to the side, never had a problem with parking, just wish it was more visible from the street.That being said, I cannot say enough how appreciative I am for all the good you do for the community, for families, and for individuals (like me). Thank you!
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Mary Jeppsen. Co-parenting can be a very difficult task for some ex spouses. She seems to do really good at not taking sides and focusing on whats best for the child. She definitely has a low threshold for nonsense and does a great job at taking charge. All in all I have been very impressed with her co-parenting course. Although, she has not always told me what I wanted to hear.
As a pastor I have had the opportunity to refer several individuals and families to Fresh Roots Family Counseling. I am grateful that I can refer people to a place that I know is professional, caring and desires to assist people with issues that need to be addressed in their families and personal lives.I recently had Brad Franklin and Aaron Matthews in our church to teach about how we can strengthen our marital and personal relationships. Their presentation was biblical, informative, interesting, humorous and practical. Our people were engaged, encouraged and challenged by their time spent with us.I highly recommend without reservation Fresh Roots Family Counseling.
Unbiased to neither the husband nor the wife in marriage counseling...be prepared for faithful to the core christian beliefs & values...ALWAYS ending the hour with a strong prayer over the husband/wife or both together; sometimes he will meet with one or the other & a lot of the time with both together. Many times I say, “not cool Brad, not cool” ...only because he “calls me to the carpet” & literally pulls the cold hard true emotion out of me...knee to knee sitting in front of my husband; things I never want to speak aloud! It is so painfully truthful that you’ll feel like you MUST have just one hour a week to talk to him! He is our safe....yet...very challenging haven! THANK YOU Brad Franklin & GOD BLESS you! We are forever thankful!
With years in a child based background, the quality of attention and care that was received was vastly disappointing. When caring for a child, both parents need to have input so the child can have what is best needed for proper healing. The female counselor in the facility in my opinion did not make me feel like my child was being cared for in the best interest of our needs to include both parents in the process. So much more should have been done to try and keep the child included in both parents lives.
As an attorney it is critical that i have a place to refer clients and friends that I know i can trust. As a result of practicing law for twenty five years in Rogers I can confidently say that Brad and Fresh Roots is a place that can be trusted to do a great job for their patients. I have never had a client complain about the referral. I highly recommend.
I firmly believe Fresh Roots Counseling is the best counseling center in all of Arkansas and this central part of the country. As the executive director of a nonprofit organization leading marriage events all over the United States I refer individuals, couples, and families to Fresh Roots Counseling on a regular basis without any hesitation or worries about how they will be taken care of. If you are looking for counseling I recommend them with the highest confidence!
I am a family law attorney in the area, and i have had the opportunity to refer numerous clients to this facility. Everyone there is wonderful; very professional, and very engaging and empathetic. i have no worries about the kind of counseling my clients get if they tell me they are seeing someone at Fresh Roots. i whole heartedly would recommend Fresh Roots for all you counseling needs, both individual and family issues.
Two bad counselors there. No names. One, I believe had a problem with men. She was an older lady that was couples counseling. Another was a very poor counselor. Individual counseling. These were years apart. I am seeing a great counselor now in Fayetteville that has changed my life for the better. I believe overall that Fresh Roots is not a great place to go. I am a veteran and got better counseling at the VA if that tells you anything.
I have known Aaron Matthews for a decade and have the pleasure to do some co-therapy with him. I am always happy to refer clients to him.
Great people that truly want people to connect with one another. Have been on a marriage retreat they were part of and it was so good.
This is Heidis husband David and Mike was our counselor. Ive had counselors for many, many years. Since I was 12 yrs old. At the time of his services (which I was court ordered to Ozark Guidance & refused) I chose them and I actually tried to listen and learn.I had 12 appts. & on the 11 he asked to speak with my wife, i accepted. 2 weeks after my last session at a $100.00 per visit my wife got extreemly angry with me, and threw the papers Mike gave her with the words, he told me to file separation! Were still married, for 14 years now, but that was a HUGE betrayal since he asked my permission to spend one of my sessions with her! NEVER AGAIN! Seems to me he needed more money. I rate Mike piss poor!
Wonderful place with great counselors and a great atmosphere.
Relaxing atmosphere with faith based counseling.
Brad Franklin is the worst marriage therapist there is. DO NOT GO TO HIM.
