During times in our lives we all go through some kind of life changing situation that can affect us…read morein so many different ways. My situation was a family separation that had a hard impact for our children and both parents. Myself and our sons started reunification therapy with Kim Wells almost going on 1 year from now. From day one of Kim working with our sons and myself, it has been very positive and supportive. During this whole time Kim has shown her expertise as a reunification therapist that has helped my sons and I through many sessions of reunification therapy. Kim has always put our children's best interest first and provided a safe and neutral space where everyone's feeling have been heard and validated. Kim has never taking sides but instead expertly guided us through difficult conversations at times. Kim has taught us skills on communication, active listening, rebuilding trust and more. Kim and her team of therapist and staff have always been professional and caring and I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a reunification therapist, family therapy, individual therapy and more to go to Olney Counseling! I'm very thankful and appreciate all that Kim has done for our children and both parents.

I remember the day I called Expressive Therapy. Dave answered the call and spoke briefly with me…read more He set me up with a therapist named, Jessica Simon. I have been in therapy for many years. I have gone to appointments just for the sake of saying I've gone. I never really did any work to make my life more bearable. Since I have been seeing Jessica, I have unburdened myself greatly. I have so much respect for her. She's caring and an incredible listener. She lets me ramble and reels me in to stay on topic. I have never ever looked forward to therapy. I have always finagled my way out. With Jessica, I want to go. I need to go. She has and continues to help me greatly. I feel so lucky!

I was told by her she was jealous of my strength and that's why she became critical of me. When confronted a therapist she told me she didn't say that and began to gaslight me. She would reword everything I confronted her about trying to make m seem crazy and confused. No accountability whatsoever who can trust a therapist with no accountability and blames you for their actions and your past. Sad you put your trust in someone for 2 years and they're just like everyone else. Some people don't need to be a therapist because they care more about themselves and their reputation than a clients mental health. The therapist harmed my mental health couldn't get a sincere apology or explanation and was terminated for holding her accountable asking for answers after two years. I got terminated over the phone couldn't even get closure. Very selfish for her to get closure and leave me with questions after two years of therapy. Be careful who you trust.. You would think the clinic would like feedback to work with the therapist so this wouldn't happen to future clients but the supervisor only provided referrals and was weird. I'm writing this review because this was very traumatic for me and it seems like there was another review here with same issue. I don't want anyone to be harmed like I have. She needs to be held accountable. This is no okay. Clients deserve a safe space and are already judged and criticized out in the real world. You shouldn't have to pay a therapist to do the same. Sad you can't even trust a therapist these days. Be very careful and tread carefully here! Good luck!

You can't just show up and expect to be seen because they are scheduled to see their patients. In fact, people should call as soon as they think they may need help because there is often a couple week waitlist. They time their appointments so there aren't a lot of people in the waiting room. It is for reasons of confidentiality. You wouldn't want to run into your next door neighbor there. If I ever needed help again, I wouldn't hesitate to return to this practice.

Thank the heavens for Dr. Putnam!

The appointments are quick - in and out, but still he covers everything. I didn't need to be diagnosed, I had been diagnosed years ago, so my initial appointment was different. I just needed to get back on my medication and I knew what dosage I needed to be on. Saw him monthly for like 2-3 months and once we confirmed the dosage was perfect and didn't need to be adjusted, the appointments are every six months. He still does my monthly refills and i don't have to go in person!! I freaking love it. If you're looking for therapy, then go see a psychologist if you want to talk over issues or get advice. But if you need to be medicated, Dr. Putnam is your man lol Oh yes, the front desk receptionist is not warm and fuzzy but who cares. Most doctors office always have rude staff. Welcome to DC.
