Roger Lake seemed like a great therapist at first. My partner and I went in for couples counseling with the goal of improving our relationship and closeness.Roger had an interesting demeanor... but not one I would say is either professional as a therapist, nor appropriate for healing and improving a relationship. His style was very confrontational and side-taking. I’m not sure in retrospect how anybody could think this was helpful. Instead of being kind and understanding, he would interrupt and pit one of us against the other. When one of us would share things we were trying to reconcile, he would interrupt and confront the other person in a way that had us anxious and on the edge of our seats. We both felt increasingly terrified to attend sessions with him.Another weird focus of his was relating everything to his experience of how things were in the 1970s. Think Jim Jones and Jonestown relates to you personally? Neither did we. We found it all strange but assumed this guy knew what he was doing.Several sessions later, he slowly and continually brought our relationship into deeper turmoil.We have since found a different therapist, one who approaches her therapy with an emotionally focused kindness, love and compassion, and my partner and I are closer than ever.I would HIGHLY warn anyone seeking non-confrontational emotionally focused therapy to steer clear of his services. He probably has some sort of niche that works for some. Not for
Visited on a thursday. the service was very helpful and observant. prices are reasonable.
