    Therapist was fine but i was entirely put off by their assertiveness on collecting payment, AND by…read morehow antiquated and unsecure their payment strategy is. Regarding the latter, they want credit card info typed into a PDF and emailed; there are dozens of secure invoicing and payment options out there but seems like THEY want the actual CC numbers despite how unadvisable that is anymore. I had to cancel on a same day appointment for a legit reason, and they charged full payment hours before the appointment was scheduled. Its like they're giddy to make a free buck. After I paid for a different session both me and my partner were still contacted multiple times about payment. It seems like there's a complete absence of any system of billing, tracking payment, etc. Similar to another reviewer, we paid $180, with a hard stop at 45 minutes. We stopped going, mostly due to the odd vibe of the place when it came to money. I understand it's a business, but maybe go about it in a way that feels like clients' well-being is also a goal. Check (former) employee reviews on Glassdoor for some of their perspectives about the place. Wish I had seen those prior. Aligns with my experience on the assertive money-making vibe of the place. And raises a lot of other concerns. summary: therapist was fine but the business/admin side of it all seemed awful. There must be better options.

    I had a few sessions with Alyssa Lapp and she was by far the WORST THERAPIST I have ever had. I…read morecan't believe she even has a license and is working as a therapist. She can't hide her own thoughts in her facial expressions -- which seems like something a trained therapist would know how to do. I said something political in a session that must have offended her point of view because her face changed instantly. In the subsequent sessions, when I asked for her advice, she would simply say, "It's whatever you think." Over and over. I told her I really wanted her professional opinion, but I still got nothing more out of her. I did not schedule with her again. I still want a refund! :) Luckily, I now have a fantastic therapist whom I trust and who gives great advice for me to try out. I'm very happy I dropped Alyssa. My guess is that if you're a young, cute white woman, you will click just fine with her, but not if you fall into any other categories.

She skipped a session with her skating coach (the only thing that makes her feel slightly better) and my husband took time off work to meet with nurse practitioner BRITTANY at 9:30 am. At 9:35, AFTER the appointment was supposed to start, we received a call informing us that her appointment has been CANCELLED because Heart Centered sent us the wrong paperwork and they JUST figured it out.

    I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. By long time I mean ... well, sixteen years,…read morelonger than Yelp has existed. I saw Francis from 1988 to 1998. I may be off a year at both ends, but it hardly matters. I initially went in for a joint session with my father, a hateful, bigoted, abandoning, alcoholic and unrepentant jerk. The session did little good in the end save assuage my father's guilt for being all of the above. I was a wreck over my mother's death, which happened four years earlier, and needed someone to talk to. The girl I was dating at the time was an emotional icebox, and Francis seemed a nice enough man. He also offered at the time a sliding scale for poor sods like me, which I appreciated. I can't tell you how many times I saw him in all those years. I went in whenever I had the cash, which wasn't a lot, and life was beating me down, which was happening all the fucking time. I had no one to talk to, and Francis, admittedly, comes across as a decent listener. He's decent. Not great. Oftentimes I felt he hadn't heard a word I said, interrupting me or redirecting me with little acknowledgement that he heard me. Perhaps in these intervening years he's improved, though it's a moot point, since I see he's gone off to Costa Rica for a Peace Corps assignment. So, listening. On a scale of 1 to 10, Francis scores a solid 3. I needed an 8 or 9. Therapy. Did I get better? Did my life improve? No, on both counts. My needs weren't met with Francis, who was convinced that I had to maintain a relationship with my father in order to "get better." I gave that a go. It was a phenomenal disaster that ended up doing great harm to me. As for my career, he, Francis, said something horrifying, something that has stuck with me to this day. He said, "You must sell yourself, Shawn, then become yourself." I must, in other words, be inauthentic and unreal before, bowing before my paymasters, I "become" myself. It's unethical and unreasonable on multiple levels, that advice; that it came from an ex-priest, both Catholic and Buddhist, floored me. It still does over two decades later. Francis had no interest in me finding or discovering myself. His push was always toward that long, gray line of American manhood: the corporate job, the cog job, the 9-to-5 grind. He was convinced that was the "healthy" thing to do. (Note: when a psychologist uses that term with you--"healthy"--run screaming in the other direction. It's a trite and shallow term full of bullshit and psychobabble. "Healthy" more often than not means "doing things my way.") But the truly healthy thing for me was to pursue my real and lifelong passion, which, after 2003, I finally ginned the courage to do (writing). Francis knew of my passion for it back then; so why did he ignore it utterly? Even if he claims ignorance of such a passion, the question becomes--why? Wasn't that his job, to learn of such things? He convinced me instead to complete my teacher training and slope into the classroom, which I ended up doing for many years, until another doctor, measuring my blood pressure, warned me to make a choice. I was miserable as a teacher. I hated it. When I expressed reservations about continuing as one, ol' Francis got on me pretty good. I was flirting with disaster, he said. Yes, I was. I was listening to him. So, therapy. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Francis a 2. Francis eventually got tired of seeing me. I must have been too much for him. I was threatening his perfect record of perfect automatons he'd turned out of his practice. One day he told me I was clinically depressed, then "fired" me and referred me to a psychiatrist so I could be put on antidepressants. Still trusting in his counsel, I met with the psychiatrist, who after a ten-minute consult gave me a prescription for prozac and tracedone. The asshole charged my insurance $200, and told me to meet him in three months. For the next three years I felt like a bowl of moldering tapioca pudding. I soon couldn't afford the psychiatrist's fees, as I had quit my teaching job and went out on my own as a professional tutor. I got tired of feeling absolutely nothing, which is what antidepressants are designed to do, so I quit them, not knowing that doing so is potentially deadly. For me, it was. I nearly killed myself in 2001. So, follow-up and compassion. Francis scores a 0 on a scale of 1 to 10. He let me fall through the cracks. I didn't need medication; I didn't need his continual warnings of doom and gloom with respect to my father and my profession; I didn't need to be "fired." I needed a fucking friend, not a bully, and certainly not another father figure. He should've figured that out. That was his job. He didn't do it. But hey--he got probably $10,000 from me over all those years, which I suppose he can use in Costa Rica. While there, I hope he takes a long and sunny time to consider whether he should remain a psychotherapist. My vote, and advice, would definitely be no.

    Francis helped my husband and I with marriage counseling for about a year. Francis was fabulous in…read moreevery way. We were on the verge of a divorce and Francis helped us learn to communicate and listen to each other. That was 10 years ago, and our marriage continues to thrive, and we STILL refer back to lessons and approaches that we learned from Francis. If you are looking for marriage counseling, I highly recommend Francis.
