Survivors Studio

"Made an appt to see Karen & after she told me all about herself for 35 minutes, I was finally able to tell her the reason I was there. Just as I’m about to tell her the most traumatic part of why I was there, she tells me we have 15 minutes left. Then at the end, she tells me she is not the right therapist for me & she would send me some recommendations. I’ve yet to hear from her & never received any recommendations. I left there feeling WORSE than when I came in. She could clearly see how upset I was talking about this issue & it was a total kick in the gut to reach out for help & get denied. I understand if she thinks she’s not the right therapist for me, but to see someone with a diagnosed history of mental illness, breaking down with extreme anxiety & grief, should have sent her into overdrive to recommend someone or somewhere I could go to get help. I have TWO forms of insurance & told her I could private pay as well. Never heard a word back from anyone. Their office is in the back of a church & she mentioned she was a Christian. I told her I was not religious at all & felt as though she made the decision right about then that she wasn’t the therapist for me. I felt like because she couldn’t push her Bible beliefs onto me, she automatically dismissed me as a person who was reaching out for help. Typical for most religious groups. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. She should be ashamed of herself for seeing someone desperate for help & then not following up to help me. I’m sure she’s already followed up with my insurance company to get paid."
