Reviews of Encompass Christian Counseling
"The restrooms are terrible. The counselor is fake and smelly"
"the restrooms are small/gross. They make you put feminine products in a small box.. (pretty embarrassing)"
"Here's the truth: I'm a struggling Christian with many questions. My wife and I started attending two different counselors for marriage issues. This place was my wife's idea. I'd been to two other counselors that just weren't the right fit for me, not because they were bad. I'm not perfect, nor do I write negative reviews very often. These last two years have been the worst of my life, but my wife is the most important person in the world. My Counselor was Dave, and I can only speak about my experience with him. I really wanted to believe he could help me, so I must have attended 8 to 10 sessions at least, including two couples sessions. He was soft spoken, inquisitive, looked like a shrink, and I'm sure he had all the qualifications for one. However, it was clear from the get-go that he couldn't recognize the level of thought and attention I had already given to my own issues. I went in there 10 steps ahead and he never recognized that, which was concerning to me. He preached self-care (already done), working on myself before my marriage (no duh), and wanted to quote from the "Love Languages" book like it was the bible. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I was doing everything I needed to reconcile my marriage. EVERY THING!!! I was making many great sacrifices, loving my wife her way and mine, giving my all to her, working on my own depression through self-care and reflection, making major changes to my thought processes, all while in immense pain (crying every day) due to my marital issues (I really love my wife and I'm losing her). It got WORSE at home since beginning at Encompass. I promise you, this was not due to my lack of effort, all while suppressing my own anger, depression and pain. I admit my faults, tell the truth even when it doesn't benefit me, and I am VERY self-reflective and aware. Probably why I'm in so much pain. On our fourth session, Dave did not show up to our scheduled appointment. He apologized later by phone, but did not offer any kind of discount or anything, which I thought would be par for the course since they technically charge customers when they miss appointments. I suppose there aren't consequences for Encompass's failures. But I let it go and said nothing, even though it bothered me, and kept going to him. Another thing that bothered me was that the first few sessions he said he ended counseling by praying with his patients. I was certainly mad at God for a lot of reasons, but I still knew that prayer was important. After the third session, Dave, the Christian counselor, stopped praying for me. Eventually, we tried couples counseling. Dave agreed as did my wife's therapist. It did not go well. Once again, Dave piled onto me, not holding my wife accountable for anything she'd done (probably to earn her trust so later he could). I felt attacked. When my wife was asked questions, she'd deflect and he wouldn't catch it. He'd go right along with her deflection, back to guess who? When I called him on his tactics, he was very passive aggressive, suggesting we go back to singles counseling, when he knew darn well I really wanted us to be in couples counseling to hold each other accountable. I eventually stormed out (yes, childish, I know). But it was better than staying and saying what I was about to say to him. So maybe not so childish. So, there's way more to our story and Encompass's counseling woes. As I said, I cannot speak for my wife's counselor, but my wife has recoiled and gone backwards in reconciliation since beginning there. Take from that what you will. But here's the bottom line: Dave is a passive-aggressive counselor who doesn't have very much awareness and is afraid to answer the real tough questions when you ask them. He deflects. He doesn't seem interested in saving marriages, but rather getting his way. Don't trust him or Encompass with your problems. Meanwhile, I'm still doing everything I can to love my wife and put her first. Perhaps you could pray for me? We know Dave isn't."
