I had high hopes for this therapeutic relationship, but unfortunately, my experience became…read moreuncomfortable due to blurred boundaries. I received a message from Amanda that felt overly personal and not appropriate for a professional setting. It included emotionally loaded language and a photo request that put me in an uncomfortable position, especially given my history--which the therapist was aware of. When I brought up how this made me feel, the response I received was brief and lacked empathy. It left me feeling dismissed rather than supported. Therapy should be a place where boundaries are respected and communication is handled with care. This experience ultimately did not align with what I need in a therapist. Although I initially felt Amanda understood me and was helpful, this experience is extremely invalidating and has hurt me. I can't say I would recommend her as a therapist. Additionally, I've noticed that Amanda blocked me from her public business page, Peace of Mind Therapy, shortly after I shared my concerns with her. I had not been interacting with her on social media prior to this and had no issues accessing the page before. This action seems to reflect an unwillingness to receive feedback, rather than a response to any inappropriate behavior on my part. As a former client, I believe I should have the right to share my experience publicly--especially since I chose to end therapy due to the discomfort and lack of support I felt. Blocking former clients from a public page after they express concerns raises further ethical questions and feels like an attempt to silence valid feedback. I have since been in contact with her supervisor and because of the nature of this experience and the ethical concerns it raises, I will also be reporting this situation to the South Carolina licensing board for review. Nobody should be feeling the emotions I feel from a so called "professional".

I have seen her probably 25 times now and I'm never disappointed. Now, I'm not particularly ill; I'm part of the "worried well" or "walking wounded", so I don't know what her capabilities are in managing a severely mentally ill individual, or dealing with a couple, or working with a family. But as far as getting together weekly to talk through thoughts and feelings and such, she's 5-star. She is a great listener and offers useful and insightful feedback.

As a Clinical Social Worker seeking services, I found the best fit for both therapy and life coaching. Laura is able to identify with clients on many different levels and quickly puts you at ease. She incorporates your values and beliefs into her treatment planning and tailors your goals to fit your needs. Laura is nonjudgmental. She truly cares about people and provides excellent guidance and support. I have referred several people to her who have experienced positive change and growth. I was devastated that she moved to Charleston. Richmond has truly lost a clinical gem. If you are ready to make some real changes, I highly recommend Laura.

We have been fortunate to have her in our corner for the past 3 years. She throughly tested and diagnosed our son with dysgraphia combined with ADHD, 3 years ago.

In the testing, she discovered that the gaps in our son's dysgraphia have been filled and he is better able to manage his ADHD! Because of Terri's initial recommendations combined with our dedication, our son is thriving both academically and socially! Thank you, Terri, for helping our son be the best version of himself!

With what could've been an incredible mess regarding insurance companies and their payment, they've made it so easy on me! It's strange to feel underinsured when one is overinsured. My bride's healthcare policy happens to be my secondary as I am disabled and Medicare is my primary provider. However (prepare for curveball). The provider, while the primary provider does accept Medicare - my provider is not seen as acceptable by Medicare's standards so Medicare does not pay anything. This triggers my secondary, which is billed here as my primary (see above paragraph). They will not pay simply because my primary has not paid. In conversation they say they need a letter of denial of service (which Mt. P Psychiatry does accept, but my individual provider cannot) which isn't true and cannot be provided as the entire operation operates under one tax code. So now I am to look through my summaries of service from Medicare and send them to my secondary insurance so they will be informed that in this case - they are my primary and will pay for all of the services going forward as well as those which have previously been denied. Wow. I'm not a lawyer, this stuff makes my head swim and is all the more reason to need to have my head shrunken further. Yikes. Have a pleasant day.

I see a therapist named Kristin every few weeks to assist with my eating disorder recovery, and I love working with her. I feel like I am treated with respect and care every time I attend a session, and get what I need emotionally.

I would not recommend this practice based on my family's experience…read more We sought care here for our children and were told that the practice would submit claims to our insurance company. After months of treatment, we were unexpectedly informed that we owed a significant balance for prior sessions. What was most concerning, however, was how our family was treated during a mental health crisis. On the same day I received a billing message, I called the office because my older daughter had expressed thoughts of harming herself. As a parent, this was one of the most frightening situations I have ever faced. Instead of receiving compassion, guidance, or concern for her well-being, I was told that the practice could not help us because of an outstanding balance associated with my younger daughter. To make matters worse, after a single discussion regarding the balance, I received communication that immediately referenced legal action and attorneys. At a time when my family was dealing with a child's mental health crisis, the focus seemed to be entirely on collecting money rather than providing support or demonstrating concern for patient well-being. The lack of empathy and professionalism was shocking. There was no effort to provide resources, offer guidance, or show concern for a child in crisis. The conversation focused on billing while my family was facing a mental health emergency. Mental health providers work with vulnerable patients and families who are often experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I expected compassion, understanding, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Families seeking mental health care deserve a practice that prioritizes patient well-being, communicates clearly about financial matters, and responds with empathy during times of crisis. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this practice.
