Working with Krista was absolutely amazing! She was able to make a huge difference with my PTSD…read more The techniques she uses are not available thru the VA Healthcare system. I can highly recommend her! It is difficult writing about something so personal, and most Veterans are suffering in silence. That is just how we were taught... got a problem, don't talk about it. I had been living with my issues since 2002, but after 16 years, I finally found someone able to help me. If you know of any veterans suffering from their PTSD, Krista is definitely worth visiting. Don't put it off, it won't go away on it's own.

For some context; my partner and I had been together about 3 years, and were seriously considering…read moremarriage. I was interested in sort of laying out the internals of our relationship to therapist/counselor to see if there were any red flags we should be aware of, and talk through anything that could potentially be problematic for a long term relationship. Most importantly, Dr. Lillie is incredibly competent in her line of work, and can remarkably quickly ask the important questions to guide couples to new perspectives on their relationship. The way that Dr. Lillie interacted with my partner and I was not only transformative in the way we think, but carried care, empathy, and psychological safety. I never felt judged, only heard, but still was compelled to change my thinking about some foundational pillars of being in a relationship. Needless to say, my partner and I are happier than we ever thought possible, and indeed got married :) I owe a lot of this to only a few conversations I had with Dr. Lillie, and to that end, I'm very grateful for the time I've shared with her.

If you are looking for a therapist I would highly highly recommend Sandy. She is amazing.

Dr. Greenberg is an astute, caring, warm, and highly skilled therapist who works effectively with…read morecouples and individuals. I have known her since 1994 and we have worked separately and in tandem with patients in which I was treating the individual and she saw the couple. In addition, Dr. Greenberg is very talented in helping people navigate any parenting difficulties. I know her work intimately since we have participated in professional consultation groups together over the years. She is one of my main referral resources when any of my clients need couple's therapy. I know when I send clients to her that they will receive the best care, and I highly recommend her for those with any relationship issues. Judy H.Smith, Ph.D.

It was a huge decision for me to enter therapy. I'd had several (brief) prior experiences with…read moreother therapists and was openly jaded and hesitant to give it another try. I was at the end of my emotional rope though -- dealing with major depression, loss, anxiety, burnout, and an array of issues from childhood that were apparently still waiting for me. In short order, I found Dr. Greenberg to be noticeably different from the other therapists I'd dealt with. She is engaged, tuned in, and an extremely astute listener who seems to truly care that she is helping. She is not at all shy about providing open, honest feedback that addresses directly the issue(s) at hand, and she is clearly both intelligent and well trained. I've seen her now for well over a year, in both individual and group formats, and have always found her to be incredibly objective, supportive, sensitive, kind, compassionate and very easy to open up to -- which is an invaluable credential for some of us. I genuinely believe she takes great pride in her work and seeing her patients progress. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Greenberg.

I recently contacted Dr. Dufford to help me after receiving a recent diagnoses of PTSD, it's…read moreunfortunately had been many years since I'd seen Dr. Dufford as a patient. Dr. Dufford returned my call promptly and he was very kind and understanding to my situation as usual. Sadly, Dr. Dufford was not able to fit me in as a returning patient at the time that I called, Dr. Dufford instead gave me a referral to two other Psychologists that specialize in treating the Complex PTSD that I suffer from and was recently diagnosed with. Dr. Michelle Chabbot was the Psychologist that I first reached out to following the multiple traumatic events that led to my Complex PTSD diagnoses and that caused my PTSD Panic Attack. I study Psychology myself, and I was very shaken when I contacted Dr. Chabbot, as I'd never experienced at PTSD Panic Attack before, and I never even knew that someone could suffer from something as terrible as a PTSD Panic Attack. Dr. Chabbot answered the phone immediately, and she was kind and caring enough to take the time to help me immediately. She even answered some emergency questions that I had regarding my recent Complex PTSD diagnoses and the PTSD Panic Attack that I suffered. Dr. Chabbot did all of this for me during her time off on the weekend, when she was out of town on vacation. Talking with Dr. Chabbot, meant so very much to me. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Chabbot and I immediately knew that I was in good hands with regards to finding help to treat my Complex PTSD Disability. I'll be continuing my treatment with Dr. Chabbot moving forward, and I'll be sure to update my review along the way as well. I can tell Dr. Chabbot is an extremely gifted and knowledgeable Psychologist, and she is exceptionally knowledgeable and gifted in the area of PTSD especially. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Chabbot/Dr. Dufford, if you are ever in need. I also urge anyone reading this to reach out to Dr. Dufford/Dr. Chabbot if you are in any need of mental healthcare. It's vital to seek the aid of a Psychologist if you've ever experienced going through a traumatic life event (such as a car accident, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, Ableist bullying, really anything that happens that is traumatic in life, can potentially lead to PTSD I'm told. On top of this, in my own personal experience, PTSD appears to me to be a self fueling condition/ mental illness/disability, meaning that PTSD can worsen over time, if left untreated. What this means is that, it's vital to seek the help of a qualified mental healthcare professional immediately following a traumatic life event. If one doesn't immediately get the treatment that one needs, ones PTSD could quickly worsen, that and one could easily develop "layers" of PTSD, from multiple traumatic events as well. In addition to this, PTSD can also VERY QUICKLY develop into a life threatening condition/mental illness/disability, so please don't ever hesitate to get seek immediate help. Even if you just suspect you might need help, then immediately seek out that help as your mental health can quickly worsen, leaving you in a life threatening situation.

I've been seeing Dr. Huynh for psychiatric care and honestly, she's been one of the better doctors…read moreI've worked with. She actually listens. Appointments don't feel rushed, and she takes the time to understand what's going on instead of just pushing a quick diagnosis or medication. That made a big difference for me, especially when trying to dial things in and get on the right treatment plan. She explains things clearly and keeps it straightforward, which I appreciate. I always know why we're making changes or trying something new, and I don't feel left in the dark. One thing that really stands out is how consistent and reliable she's been with follow-ups and prescriptions. When you're dealing with mental health, that kind of stability matters more than people realize. Overall, I feel like I'm actually being taken care of, not just processed through a system. If you're looking for a psychiatrist who is attentive, clear, and easy to work with, Dr. Huynh is a solid choice.

The therapists consistently failed to manage session time. Stacy Clark in particular often would go…read moreover the allotted period despite multiple reminders that I did not consent to pay for extra time and had other appointments. They would extend sessions under the pretext of "needing more time to reflect and appreciate the moment," which felt unprofessional and disrespectful of boundaries. The billing practices feel predatory, in addition to consistently billing more than what we've agreed upon to, Kevin attempted to have me pay for a series of non-refundable sessions. I've never encountered a therapist who pressured a client into paying thousands of dollars upfront when we don't even know if it's a good fit to work together yet. They are scam artists preying on emotionally vulnerable people, pure and simple. Additionally, this was the only therapy experience I've had where the therapist dominated the conversation, talking about 75% of the time or more. Sessions often felt more like listening to the therapist's reflections and stories than being guided through my own process. There was also pressure to give perfect ratings in surveys and to avoid providing honest feedback, I'm not sure if they are evaluated by their practice from these scores directly. This made it difficult to share genuine concerns or trust that feedback would be received constructively. Lastly, Stacy Clark and Kevin Cornelius did not have the skill or emotional presence to hold difficult emotions. They will simply take a long time to repeat back what you've told them rather than understand and dig deeper on the why and how the behaviors arose. Overall, I would not recommend this practice to anyone seeking a professional, client-centered, and time-respectful therapeutic experience.
