I was referred to Comprehensive Psychological Services and was able to schedule an appointment…read morequite soon, within the month. The atmosphere is very professional and the evaluation was very thorough. The sign is about the size of an index card which makes finding the building a bit of a struggle but once inside I was very pleased with the staff and cleanliness. My only complaint: a full week after my appointment and I have not been contacted about my results, or when myself or my PCP can expect to get the results.

The stars that I am giving are for my Therapist and not the office. I would give the office three…read morestars. First I do not agree with the 10 dollar charge that they give for each office visit that is not even apart of what you pay to the therapist. This is happens when you do zoom calls too. I also have had challenges with not getting billed on time and then weeks late getting billed for two appointments at once. They keep a card of file so its not that hard to run the card that day of service. Now the five stars which should be more like a million are for my therapist, now I am going to keep there name privet howe very I have been with them now for a year and a half and I moved her with them after the had left there last place. I never had a great impression of a therapist and one that has the understanding with what I have is much more like very rare and hard to come by. It was not by chance that we meet and clicked and I can not say how much I have changed in a year in and half. I have gotten many complaints and encouraging words from many people that can see my progress along the way. If you think that therapist are only for certain person then you are very wrong they are for everyone. If you meet some and its feels weird or not right DO NOT SETTEL please try someone else. Because when you do find that person that you do feel safe with then it makes all the difference in the world. And you can not achieve greatness with out the help of others.

I just want to say that I haven't seen this Psychologist since about 2017 or 2018. I only went one…read moretime. I will never forget the way that he looked at me and spoke to me as if I was an imbecile. He even went as far as to tell me how I'm not in the career that I say I am in as if I'm not intelligent enough to be in such a career. He really left a bad taste so much until the point that I still think about the way he spoke to me years later to this very day in 2023 smh.... Some individuals shouldn't be allowed to practice. I was mentally fragile back then, but strong enough to not let it consume me at the time. But it just makes me think what if it were someone who wasn't as mentally strong as I am. That could really break a person.

This group not only took my $100 "self pay" but also charged my credit card an additional $118 (2nd transaction) WITHOUT communication or direct authorization. When I called 24 hours later noticing two charges, they stated that the 2nd charge of the additional $118 was an insurance copay after they found and ran my insurance. WHAT??? The office manager claimed one of the 9 forms they required me to complete allowed them to charge my insurance so they refused to refund my $118 that they charged WITHOUT my authorization. I was "self paying". Do not give them your credit card! Beware this business has shady and deceitful practices!!!

I went here with serious issues that I needed help with and guidance for the first few visits I…read morereally enjoyed the lady that I saw however I noticed she wasn't really giving me any tips on how to build myself up to manage my issue . She started to appear very busy and my last visit with her I found her to be very discouraging telling me things I needed to do that weren't her place and disagreeing with me over the distance to my child's school . I can't be exactly specific because I don't want to post why I was there but I felt dismissed . The last visit with her I distinctly felt something had changed and I almost felt like a bother so I just never made another appointment. However the office never contacted me to see if I needed to make an appointment so I really did feel like she was too busy or just not really interested in helping . I wasn't paying to leave discouraged or to feel like a bother . I hope I'm the only one that has felt this way but I personally went from feeling good to feeling bad in my visits . I can feel bad for free .
