As a CAA she recommended returning custody to a man with 41 missed U/A's 10 positive for opiates who can not hold a job and bankrupt but had the funds for whiskey. She failed to review his medical records even when asked given he'd been hospitalized for addiction over 6 times. Had not visited his daughter in 4 years and recommended counseling for the opposing when there was no diagnosis and she legally can not diagnose anyone without a license and she called not one witness (Over 20 were provided) that knew the child said she did not have time to read the over 200 pages that were sent to her. She had from July to November. Charged $700 for the 1 hour web meeting she rolled her eyes through a lot of it and told me how to go about filing severance but sent the child back to unsupervised to father who had not been visiting at all. She would not take calls from child's teacher who wanted to report something. She ignored documentation of 4 other women father was abusive towards. She did not call child care provider or meet the child she took the testimony of the opposing parties council Maria Lawrence of Lawrence Law and ran with it who is facing a second bar complaint for lying about father's sobriety along with her client. May they rot in the darkest pit of hell.

I actually brought this up at the end of my appointment and was given excuses like, "oh, I have been telling them to clean for months," and "I didn't realize the chair was that dirty because I don't sit on that side of the room." As far as the person I talked to, she had the radio on the entire time next to her and kept saying, "pardon me?" when I would talk, because she could obviously not hear me over the radio. I went in to talk about possible depression, within ten minutes, she was saying how pills can "lift the fog," I expressed not wanting to go straight to medication as an answer, and she said, "I didn't say you should." She was very argumentative and told me things like, "maybe you should get a new job," and "don't worry about your kids, if they haven't burnt down the house, they're fine." Never again. I am going to go shower now.

When she arrived I was trying to openly communicate about what had happened. She then said "YOU'RE CLEARLY UNHAPPY" and I left.. GREAT SESSION. I was looking forward to meeting with her. She has a lot of great reviews but my experience was very unprofessional.

Changed my review based on new experiences here. Someone reached out to me and asked me about what…read moreI experienced. He apologized which meant a lot. He also assured me that I did nothing wrong and therapist aren't allowed to reserve unscheduled spots here. That has also been my experience in the past with my old therapist. If I didn't schedule out far enough, then another client could schedule and I'd just have to miss out or schedule the next available day that that time was open. It's first come first serve so what Stacy did was wrong. I was then paired with Dr. D whom I saw for a few months and definitely felt much safer. Then due to availability, I switched to Sally and wow. She is the perfect therapist for me. I don't plan on leaving Desert Sage while they have a gem like Sally there. Thank you all for reaching out to me.

I'm pretty sure this practice just hires "C" students who majored in psyche because it sounded cool…read moreand they thought they'd somehow make money from this. My husband and I both briefly saw practitioners from Desert Sage last year. I worked with Kristin a few times over the phone and I found her to be incredibly impassionate, if not a bit stuffy. She didn't seem interested when I expressed specific concerns, nor did she seem interested in committing to some sort of a diagnosis. I realize that may sound strange, but I've struggled with my mental health for basically my entire life. At this point, I can guarantee I'm not neurotypical. It took a lot to actually see a practitioner. Perhaps I should have been clear of this when I walked into the room (or, um, answered her Zoom), but I wanted professional feedback so I could truly identify some problems, and then work on them. She was happy to try medicating me after a single, brief conversation, but wasn't willing to try diagnosing after 4 sessions or so. I finally figured seeing her just wasn't worth the stress, and have gone back to sweeping things under the rug and playing doctor with myself. Not ideal, but I've found more benefit in doing that than continuing to work with her. My husband, on the other hand, worked with Daniel for substance abuse. Of course my husband liked him at the time, considering I found Daniel to be incredibly unprofessional and generally removed anytime I sat in for their sessions. There was never any talk of trying to identify a diagnosis or triggers when working with Daniel, which I figured could be helpful when it comes to substance abuse. Maybe that's not unusual in psychiatry, I honestly don't know. Regardless, seeing him always felt like a waste of time. I felt like Daniel wasn't interested in his work (IE helping people, which is kind of shitty on him). Though he was happy to bring up his own poor life choices during one session, like not setting himself up for retirement. Super professional, Kirsten and Daniel. Desert Sage. Thanks for the help. Our lives have been changed. (Not really. I'm quite obviously being sarcastic here. I really wish I could have those copays back. We've had to figure things out on our own, and you wanna know something funny? The military has helped by husband get his head screwed on more than these pompous lazy asses. Kind of an ironic, perhaps even unoriginal twist when it comes to tacking addiction, but the government managed to get more positive results from him than this practice did. The government? Helping someone? Results? Now, isn't that saying something.)

I contacted Michelle and she said that my wife is very guarded about her issues and the likelihood is that she doesn't want to work on herself. Michelle was correct. In hindsight I regret we agreed to such a long initial session. I think we should have limited our initial session to an hour or two.

There's a sign on the door that says masks must be worn on the premises at all times but a woman standing behind the desk in the receptionist area had her mask down around her neck, talking away while we checked in and paid. The therapist took her mask off and told us we could take our masks off as soon as we got into her office and then proceeded to complain about wearing masks and talk about how ridiculous it was that many schools were still virtual. Totally inappropriate. This place is supposed to be about mental health, but they could care less if they're passing COVID around to everyone who enters. I'm trying to find a new therapist for my child.
