Reviews
"It took me quite awhile to come down from my experience and post this, but I feel the need to share to help avoid others going through what I went through. I will not be calling out the individual, but I’ve never been disrespected by a therapist like I was here. In ten minutes this person decided they knew everything about me and my partner and actually went so far as to say they couldn’t help us. I’ve been to many therapists in my life and would never wish that experience on anyone. I’ve never been made to feel more small and worthless by someone who is supposed to be dedicated to helping others feel the exact opposite. This is not necessarily a reflection on the whole clinic as I’m sure others have had wonderful experiences there, but after reading rave reviews, this was a deeply disappointing experience for me personally."
"I had a few appointments with Larissa, and was 15 minutes late to the last one I had a few months ago. I have no idea what the late policy is, but I feel like 15 minutes out of an hour long appointment isn’t too bad. She never came out of her office to have me come in. I sat in the lobby for an hour; our entire session. I also didn’t receive any advice or suggestions after talking about various things I had gone through, she just listened. That was appreciated, but I feel like maybe there should be some feedback or advice with coping mechanisms/skills. Larissa is a lovely person from what I experienced, but not so good of a therapist for me personally. I just don’t understand how a therapist wouldn’t at least come outside after me finally arriving and explaining that I was too late and my appointment was cancelled or something. I’m really upset that I had to sit there for an hour and proceed to leave in tears due to the frustration."
"When searching for a therapist for my teenager, I could have never anticipated the profound impact that Larissa would have on our lives. From the moment we met her, it was evident that she possessed a unique blend of compassion, understanding, and expertise that set her apart. Larissa not only provided an accurate diagnosis for my teenager, but also became the first therapist to truly “click with” them, becoming an aspirational and inspirational figure in their life. Larissa’s diagnostic acuity is also remarkable. Her meticulous evaluation and deep understanding of autism allowed her to accurately pinpoint the unique challenges my teenager faced. This accurate diagnosis was the turning point to open doors to a world of tailored therapeutic interventions and supports. What truly sets Larissa apart is her unparalleled ability to connect with her clients. From the very beginning, she fostered a genuine rapport with my teenager, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for open dialogue. Her empathetic and compassionate approach encouraged my teenager to express their thoughts and emotions, something they had struggled with in previous therapeutic settings. Larissa is a beacon of light and hope. She has forever changed our lives, and we will be forever grateful for who she is and for all that she does."
"Larissa is unlike any other therapist I’ve had before. She’s knowledgeable and compassionate. Our sessions don’t feel clinical. It feels like we’re just having a conversation more casually than with other therapists I’ve had in the past. The office is comfortable and welcoming too."
"I love my therapist Larissa so much, she has helped me a lot in my journey of self improvement and reflection, my family and I have all commented on the noticeable positive difference in my behavior because of how well I’ve been able to accept myself as a result of seeking help. I’ve also been given helpful resources and documents so that I can pursue even further development outside of our therapy sessions. Couldn’t be happier with my experience!"
