Brigid Lynch

"Phenomenal, kind, empathic, evidence based. I most highly recommend this professional for counseling and especially grief counseling."

"Brigid was my therapist for over a year and half, I began to see her in February, 2018 after my Grandmother, who was like a mother to me, passed away. My Grandfather, who has been a surrogate father to me since my own father passed away 29 years ago when I was 10, passed away a little over a month ago. I went to see her a few days ago, wracked with grief and depression and she could not even remember that since my Grandmother passed away I was almost a full time caregiver for my beloved Grandpa. $8,000 in therapy and she had no idea. I took all of her suggestions, including participating in EMDR therapy and when I needed her the most, as I established a bond with her, I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. I am not particularly religious, and am not sure I believe in God, but in my last session she brought up God repeatedly, totally inappropriate for a non-believer or someone experiencing a crisis of faith. Several times she has brought up another client of hers that has grown up in foster care to use as an example of someone who has nobody to love them, when I expressed that I had almost nobody in my life that loved me, totally invalidating my feelings. I was a long term client of hers, and I rarely saw her take notes, which makes sense as she could not remember what my life is like. She has made no attempt to make amends. She also only works daytime hours, so if you have a day job she does not accommodate evening hours. This therapist came recommended from Hospice. After my last session, I felt compelled to write this review as this is someone who specializes in grief, and I left feeling totally duped by someone who couldn't remember major details of my life, and was extremely cold to me when I felt so uncomfortable with her I left before our session was over. She was still was payed after this session. I feel so burned by her, I can't imagine starting over with a new therapist. My experience with Brigid as of our last session has caused me so much additional pain and trauma, has made me question the entire practice of counseling/therapy. I feel duped by trusting her, and telling her things I have never shared with anyone, like all along I was just a paycheck to her."
