    My boyfriend has been going to him for years. So I attended a couple sessions and was horrified!…read more I am not going to go into detail, but he enabled bad behavior, gives one excuses to continue without guilt, no matter who it hurts! The man believes as long as the person says I am sorry, you forgive the person and that's that.. That problem is all fixed it just goes away and everybody's good to go! WTF, He never gets to why the person is doing it why they're repeating themselves in life and they keep doing what they've been doing he doesn't care about that he doesn't want to fix. He would lose a patient then right! I have never come across such harmful thinking, advice and behavior. I was appalled to say the least!

    Terrible Experience…read more I recently went through a medical crisis and was looking for someone to work with to deal with the anger/grief associated with some physical changes/losses I have experienced. This experience was negative from start to finish and a complete waste of my time. Scheduling session. Counselor is a terrible mouth breather and sounds reminiscent of Darth Vader on the telephone. He speaks too loudly and breathes even louder. He would not schedule an appointment without knowing what I wanted to be seen for. Isn't that the point of the intake? The door was locked when I arrived at the address provided. There was no name or identifying information on the door. When I called to see whether I had the correct location information, I was told "you're early" and had to stand outside for 5 minutes before I was admitted. I wasn't even sure if he was on-site yet when I called him. I really wouldn't think that arriving 10 minutes prior to a scheduled appointment is inappropriate, given I was told I had to fill out paperwork upon arrival/prior to the session. You would think that a professional would be waiting by the door and watching for a new client or leave them a note, etc. if in session with a client given there was nothing there to indicate I was in the correct office location. Nope. Intake paperwork was very negative in tone. Given I have been fortunate to be able to access counseling services through my Employee Assistance Program for the past 20 years, I know that his intake was not typical, nor appropriate (i.e. "I would ask that you not take offense to such questioning", "feedback is not criticism or judgement", etc.). He then goes on to state that "I do not provide consultations with attorneys, court appointed custody evaluators, probation or parole officers, or other officers of the court with regards to counseling services I provide" and then has you sign a fee schedule that states "if David Michael Boarman is subpoenaed to testify in any court proceedings, legal hearing, custody evaluation, or any other proceedings relating to my counseling services, I am responsible for reimbursing ... $350 per hour plus travel time." Can we say inconsistent? Counseling room was tiny, dark, dingy, and the furniture was in terrible shape. I have to assume that the couch below the massive quilt thrown haphazardly across it was disgusting. I couldn't see it but I was not sure I should sit in it. There was no other place to sit so I had to sit there - reluctantly. It was very low and difficult to get up from for someone with motor and/or physical impairments. I'd also like to know how that couch/cover is cleaned between clients... Counselor is hard of hearing - requiring me to repeat myself multiple times which certainly inhibits the flow of information (i.e. "I went from having a 45 year old to an 80 year old back" to which he responded "You have an 8 year old son?". Really? When he did heard me, he did not LISTEN to what I was saying. He put words in my mouth and rephrased what I was saying inaccurately multiple times - so I had to correct him and restate the information and my opinions for the record. I had a very specific topic/objective for my session. To identify coping strategies and to work through my grief related to my medical crisis. We are allotted 8 sessions per year. He asked about 4 questions about my goals and then launched into a series of questions related to my childhood, every relationship I've ever had, the reason that I'm single, etc. All irrelevant. I did not expect to waste precious time revisiting the womb to deal with very real and present-day issues I an facing. I would not recommend this counselor to anyone. I saw zero engagement and no compassion from him. He provided no solutions or strategies and after 30 minutes of putting words in my mouth and having to restate my position, I walked out. I do not have the time or patience to have my time wasted.

    Wonderful experience here!! It takes a village to raise a child, as they say, and having a…read moreprofessional in the village is awesome. We all connected well and everyone is super friendly! We're really glad we got to connect! If you are hesitant to include a therapist in your circle of people assisting you to raise your child, take a breath and get past it. You'll understand the value after the first visit!

    I haven't been to Raise but Jess has treated someone I love. I have encountered many therapist and…read morethere are many out there who are clinically sufficient. What Jess brings to the table is something more, which was a genuine concern for my child. On one of our conversatios she said " I went on this run and I was thinking about"... she was thinking about my kid and how to help. She made me feel like we ( we because as parents, things that affect our kids affect us) were "seen." I think more often than not people get complacent in their careers, including the medical or mental health field, which I would chalk up to human nature. However, she never made me feel like my kid was number or just another patient. She was someone going through something and Jess was going to figure it out. We had to stop seeing Jess due to some circumstances out of my control. Which only lead us to a merry go round of therapists and it wasn't until then, that I was able to fully appreciate her, not only for her emotional investment in my child but also for her instincts, which were proven to be spot on. While on that mental health merry go round, I learned that not every therapist has the capability to convey a genuine sense of commitment and concern for their client/patient , however Jess did. Taking on someone else's emotional pain, trauma, anxieties and fears has to be one of the hardest jobs I could imagine, especially when it comes to children...so I can understand having and internal shut off valve and not fault anyone needing to enact that protective mechanism. But as a parent who's child hurts....I sure as shit want someone who sees my kid, as I see them. Once again I saw Jess early in her career. Not only do I magine that she has gotten better with time but I imagine now that she has her own practice, she chooses people who values their clients as much as she does. ...I did recently refer someone here and they had positive reviews about Jess, Teena and the facility.
