Cunningham Wayne

"Apparently Wayne likes to get reviews deleted, so here it is again. And if its deleted again I'll expose myself and reveal more. The worst therapist I've ever been to. Let's do a fun list of all the red flags I saw in only 2 sessions: - He wanted to gossip about other therapists in the area - After I said he might be right about something, "see all those" gesturing to his diplomas, "that's why I'm right" - So many Star Wars metaphors, even after I told him I wasn't familiar with the movies. - Practically yelled at me to stop fidgeting in the first session, I'm autistic and have adhd, but he took no time to even try to find that out. - After 2 sessions he tried to elude to all these diagnoses and character traits when he had barely gotten to know me at all, and honestly he did most of the talking in the sessions. - He clearly made all his judgements of me almost immediately, which is the absolute worst thing a therapist can do, luckily I realized this when he basically gave me a narrative of my past 5 years that was completely wrong and when I corrected him he acted like I was in denial, I've never had anyone attempt to gaslight me so fast. I really wish I could be more detailed but I don't want him to realize who I am, which I might be too late for anyway, but people need to know about this experience because it was absolutely awful. I never felt comfortable in his office for a second, he has a weird overbearing energy, like a school teacher that would get too close to you when you asked for help. I constantly felt like there was a right or wrong answer to his questions, I felt like I had to tell him what he wanted to hear, so I feel like it was impossible to ever make any progress. If you're a Star Wars fan that wants to get misdiagnosed after 2 sessions then this is the guy for you."

"This so called counselor, who I could find no evidence of being professionally licensed in NH, was cruel, judgmental and damaging. I sought out aid in a time of desperation and was belittled and made to feel worse in my search for help. I wonder how other similar reviews to mine have disappeared and this 4 star, one review remains. I implore the Veterans Administration (VA) to stop referring needy Veterans to this counseling service and to evaluate previous referrals who may have similar experiences."
