Gildea Kathleen M

"perfect for me. i've been a patient of Kathleens for over 10 years. she is a great therapist who WILL be honest....which is what is very important in a therapist for ME."

"I was a colleague of Kathleen Gildea for about four years when I lived in Atlanta. We have remained friends and corresponding colleagues for over 10 years. I was surprised when I read a negative review about Kathleen on this web page. We call each other three or four times a month to discuss case issues so we can be as useful and helpful to our clients as possible. I strongly recommend her has a counselor and therapist. With respect to those who read this review, Haskell B. Acker, PhD"

"I should have stuck with my gut feeling from the second I spoke with her over the phone to schedule my first appointment. Very rude and to the point. My meeting ended with me feeling ashamed of myself and feeling like I have failed as a mother of 2 children and as a wife. She stated several times that I was too immature to handle life. I am a very capable woman and was blown away with her remarks. She made sounds of disapproval each time I spoke and showed it with her body language as well. She judged me like I was a no body from the second I walked into her office. She could not give me any advice on the reason I went to her in the first place. She told me it was too late for my 8 year old to receive help. All the blame was put on me very rudely and unprofessionally by her stating "you are the source of all the problems" with attitude and disgust. I left the office with such rage inside of me and shock that she could belittle someone so easily and voice her opinion of me when she was there to LISTEN and to GUIDE me, not judge. I'm guess the code of ethics means nothing to her."
