The staff made me feel at home and comfortable by treating me with respect. I don't like putting other practices down however after being treated less than I had to move on and ABT is my new home for my mental health needs. Dr. Vest has done more for me in the time I e been there and I have a better quality of life that I've had in years. A doctor that listens to you is rare these days with all of the commercialism and bureaucracy. No where is going to be perfect but ABT is for me and I recommend that you try them if you are ready to get serious about your mental health or whatever you may be dealing with. Give them a call and make an appointment. The ladies at the front desk want to help you as much as they can. They know their counselors and will suggest the one that will be the best fit for you and your needs while being professional and caring at the same time.

PREFERRED NO STARS AT ALL - HAS TO BE THE WORST COUNSELOR EVER…read more This is the poorest excuse of a counselor I've ever seen. No horror story could be like this experience. I'm worse after seeing this counselor than before. First visit she was trying to finish my sentences; I thought she was trying to rush me because she had another appointment or she thought she knew me well enough to be able to do so. I don't think so! I wanted to be fair so maybe she caught me on an "off" day and decided she deserved another chance. So I kept the second appointment. Second visit, she was still trying to finish my sentences and wouldn't discuss what I felt was my primary issue which is a very stressful work environment. She preferred to discuss my 40 yr marriage and sex life. Okay, this was a lot uncomfortable for me but if she thought this was my issue, I'd see where it took us. Where you ask? She actually advised me to leave my husband. After all these years, like that's even an option I'd entertain. The important fact of my counseling was it's covered under the Employee Assistance Program. my employer was covering my first 5 sessions. So you would think that when FMLA was mentioned she seemed not to understand what that was. How can you participate in a program and not know what it is? Anyway, it came time for the FMLA forms to be sent to my employer's human resources and she said she wasn't comfortable sending the forms into the company. Now understand, this was not for me to be paid for the hours missed while at appointments with her but to keep me from getting occurrences for missing those hours from work. Very simple actually. Well, she wanted to discuss it at our 3rd appointment which was a day later than the forms expected in HR. I left her a voice mail letting her know that, as well as letting her know if my FMLA wasn't approved then I wouldn't be able to miss work to make any more appointments. I got a voice mail saying she faxed the forms in and would see me the next day at my appointment. The next day she emailed me to tell me she wasn't going to schedule any more appointments with me and there was no reason for us to have any further communication. But wait....... she also went as far as literally calling both my work and the company who handles my employer's FMLA. She didn't say why she felt she needed to do this but it was quite obvious it was meant to be vindictive. If she thought I was trying to be sneaky about something, she should have asked me; there was no reason for her to call either my employer or insurance company. Now, I'm worse than I was before. I just hope she took notes so she can have unlimited dinner conversations about me with her friends, if she has any. Yes, I felt her pushing conversations to my marriage and sex as giving her more stories for her dinner conversation. I think her actions were totally unprofessional and will shout it from the rooftops of Grandin Village if only I had a bullhorn. I was going to find another counselor for the next visit anyway, however, this is not the way a professional counselor ends their "relationships". I tell everyone who will lend me an ear about how terrible she is and hope that word of mouth will soon end her career. No crazies, no money, no business. I know I'm a mental mess but at least I know and take responsibility for my actions. I don't think she can say the same about her actions towards me and my mental health. If I knew any other place to could give her a review, I would, just to let others know not to waste their money.

Wren is exceedingly bright, perceptive, and articulate. She's a great listener, an intuitive and…read morequick thinker, but beyond that, she's infinitely kind. Her approach is non-directive, meaning she won't offer advice unless asked. It's like pure poetry to hear her talk, and with a broad brush stroke you can paint her a picture she recognizes, clearly describes and comprehends, and then checks with you to be certain her interpretation is correct. She's extremely invested in her patients and never tunes out or falters. She is god in one of his infinite manifestations. I truly marvel at her keen perception and intelligence. I would not want to live without Wren.

I was so excited to find David for my son who is struggling with some issues. He made an…read moreappointment only to find that Mr. Geho had double booked him. Due to this the appt. was cut to 30 minutes instead of an hour and most of that time David Geho was either texting on his phone or typing on the computer. He didn't discount the $120 fee however. Told my son to make an appt. with another counselor at New Hope counseling center. He was so desperate to talk to someone he did despite this only to have that counselor mess up the date of the appointment. David B. Geho may have at one time cared about people, but those days seem to be gone. My son was so disappointed and I feel horrible for recommending him to my son so he could end up feeling even worse than when he started by the uncaring attitude of everyone associated with David B. Geho and the No Choices, oh excuse me "New" Choices Counseling Center. My advice, save your money and try to find people who listen and care.
