It hasn't been an easy road however Dr. Benson had complete confidence in my recovery plan and techniques that have been priceless. I use to blame others for my own decisions and reek havoc in every relationship I've ever had. After having sessions with Dr. Benson I have found new coping skills, insight and the knowledge for emotional maturity that has saved my marriage. I can't say enough about the freedom my husband and and I are experiencing after I was able to take a hard look at myself and do the work necessary that was required by Dr. Benson. I highly recommend anyone who has struggled with addiction, emotional immaturity, marriage issues or life skills in general. Thank you so much Dr. Benson and see you next month.

The first visit was on 4/22 and she ended up talking more than I did which perhaps was her way to…read morebuild rapport. Once she found out we're both from the same area in Marietta and the same doctor birthed our children, she immediately knew who I was, why my circle is the way it is, and would find commonalities between the two of us. Instead of listening to me and asking probing questions.. she would go into her own story and then my hour was up. That happened the first two visits. The third visit I did my homework and we barely discussed it. I mustered up the courage to ask her to stop cutting me off because I needed to talk through this and she said okay but your hour is up. For the fourth appointment, she texted me the day before, "Morning, I am in Alabama with a family emergency and was going to call u to reschedule. I will contact later today or tomorrow to set up new appt." Well that was 5/12 and still haven't heard from her. As others mentioned she doesn't give receipts for visits and you have to pay your copay in cash because she doesn't like using Square (because they take part of her pay). She doesn't have a receptionist or front desk so there isn't anyone to schedule or talk to if she is in a session. She has two cell phones that she WILL look at during your session as though you don't matter. I will never go back and would not recommend anyone to see her.

My partner and I were seeking counseling and made contact with Gail. Initially she seemed…read morewonderful. Then we had our first session. Gail perpetually interrupted my partner and myself, attempting to complete our sentences, talking over us, and generally talking more about herself than we had the opportunity to talk about our relationship. At every opportunity, mid sentence Gail would comment how she too has experienced X,Y, and Z. Gail made insulting assumptions about my character, my education based on information I shared with her. She will talk over you, she will not let you complete your thoughts or sentences. It makes it very difficult to address couples issues when the therapist won't let you complete a thought and insert their own narrative, instead of listening to the story of your relationship to move forward in a better direction. Update 2/23/2025: I have not seen Gail or been in contact with her since our initial appointment on January 25th. However she called me on February 20th emphasizing that she was "disgusted in me as a human being." Then proceeded to explain how her years of experience and credentials certainly make her a great therapist. She went on to state how upset she was that I gave her a one star review. She concluded the message by stating "You are in trouble by the way!" In a threatening tone It is considered inappropriate, unprofessional but more importantly highly unethical for a therapist to contact past clients for personal reasons such as leaving a poor review Here's a photo of the transcript of the VM it's not perfect but you'll get the gist

From the doctor down, you are treated with dignity and the highest of standards.

She will do anything to make your treatment comfortable. From the front office, to the infusion rooms, and then the restrooms this place is spotless. It's clean and comfortable, and you feel like you're visiting a spa more than a doctor's office. This is not a cash cow place.

My dad died one year ago, and in 2 months she was dx with myasthenia gravis, spending a month in…read morethe hospital. My mom (85 years old) had no medical problems prior to this other than hypertension, and she was volunteering running the office of Meals on Wheels in her town. Depression set in, and nothing we did could help her. Got her affairs all in order; she had been hinting about suicide for some time; the family all was very engaged and doing the best that all of us could. Nevertheless, she had a suicide attempt one month ago; thankfully with no lasting damage. Her last stop was ketamine. She unwaveringly believed that any of her physical symptoms were a product of depression, she believed it was the disease, which myasthenia gravis (which it does not-it is autoimmune). My 85 years old mom had two ketamine infusions so far. After one treatment we all saw the difference, she denied feeling any different initially The second treatment in the same week-Whoa, we got our mom back! She was out of bed only about 4 hours a day previously. She couldn't walk without walker or cane; she was very unsteady on her feet. No appetite. No interest in anything or anyone. Talked with her eyes closed. This morning she told me, "I can think clearer, it's not as fuzzy. I was pulling weeds in the yard this morning, can you imagine? I went shopping yesterday with Denise for 5 hours!" She has gone to the senior center-alone, on SCAT. She is welcoming physical therapy to come in. She wakes in the morning and goes to bed at night. No naps. She will rest, but she will be on her iPad playing scrabble. Her gait is normal, no walker, no cane, and beginning to zip around like she used to. (We joke it's like miracle like Lazarus). I am an RN of 41 years, many of those years in mental health. I have NEVER seen such excellent results with any treatment. I have to admit, I have been giving her MD's a rough time believing that with "more or different medication" we can treat the exhaustion from her disease. Even a seasoned professional myself did not realize THE EXTENT her depression had on her physical symptoms. The Veterans Administration throughout the country has APPROVED Ketamine Clinics in all their medical centers since nothing so far done has curbed the number of suicides in our veterans. Ketamine is not experimental treatment, it is the state-of the-art treatment for depression. Many people to do not realize that depression has so many physical symptoms; one attributes it to aging or other medical diagnoses. Yes, a medical diagnosis brings on exhaustion of the body, however, the component of the "emotional anguish and exhaustion" of dealing with a physical illness is separate. Depression is NOT a normal process of aging. This is a fallacy. Yes, the older adult has continued loss of friends from death and loss of bodily functions. Nevertheless, sadness to the point of suicide is NOT a part of aging. My grandmother lived until 96. Mom has a good decade yet. Our goal is to get her feeling strong enough to visit Israel again, something place she holds dear to her heart. I'm expecting it will take about 6 months since due to the depression, she has become so debilitated from bedrest so many months. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
