She's not telling me what to do, she's helping me to realize my behavior is contributing to the problem. Thanks Michelle!

I am deeply…read moreappreciative of the work that I was able to do with Jessica over this time, and I believe it has helped me immeasurably to get to a positive place in my life today. Jessica's style was perfect for me. Her attentive listener, thoughtful and knowledgeable feedback, insightful suggestions and sharing of resources, and her gentle but focused encouragement, all contributed to my progress as I climbed out of a deep hole which had previously seemed inescapable. I have a revitalized passion for life and I owe much of it to the work I did with Jessica., who always kept my long term goals in mind and took every effort to provide a warm space to work in. I am so thankful for Jessica's approach, the space and support provided, and her holistic sense of what I needed in a given session. The knowledge and habits I have developed as a result of Jessica's care and support have made a huge difference in my life. Coming to the Connective was a wonderful development for me and I am forever appreciative of my time with Jessica. I feel ready to continue my journey and excited to continue my progress with the insights I have gleaned about myself, my relationships with others, and my outlook on life. As insurance did not cover our sessions, I paid totally out of pocket. That is the only reason why I am withdrawing from therapy; the sessions were worth the price, but my financial realities mean I need to take a break from The Connective. The fact that I stayed with the Connective for so long evidences that I found the experience truly helpful and rewarding. I would not hesitate to recommend this organization in general and Jessica in particular. Thank you!

I spent over 8 months with Evolibri looking for employment. It's been hard as a physically disabled…read moreolder adult. I've been working with Amber who is always rushed and disheveled. She has shared her personal life with me and asked me questions about things that were very personal that I actually cried. I Just wanted to find a job. I felt bad for her because of her personal experiences, so I tried to overlook how she talked to me. Today when we met, she was rushed and was telling me to "get to the point" in what I was trying to convey, and "you said that already" and "you're repeating yourself" and, "that was the past" (when I was actually talking about the present). That's NOT how you talk to someone on the spectrum. We talk differently than other people. I speak linearly, and if I'm interrupted it's hard to go back to where I was and I certainly cannot jump ahead or "hurry up" because that is not how my mind works. You'd think their employees would be trained in how to speak with autistic people and how we think/speak without criticism. When I repeatedly asked for her to stop interrupting and criticizing, she said she had to end our session. I am the vulnerable person here. My partner and I are looking at homelessness without work. And yet when I complained to her boss, Mackensie, Mackensie told me Amber was one of the best workers they have and that I "broke boundaries" and I was fired. They would not tell me what boundaries I broke or how. This is traumatizing and as a disabled adult who is used to not having their voice heard, it is heartbreaking. I am left scratching my head as to what exactly I did. I literally have no idea what I did. I can only assume that Amber lied because I went to her boss. This is unacceptable for an organization who is purported to value disabled persons to label and dismiss. Absolutely no cultural humility at this organization, no compassion, no heart, and a lot of bias. If you'd like to further add trauma, then by all means, seek out their services. Just got an email from Jan, the owner, saying that anything negative that transpired between Amber and I was due to my, "Pent up frustration with being unemployed." There was no mention of accountability for the abusive behavior on Amber's part. Read reviews below that I just discovered that exactly mirrors mine. Jan has lived up to the expectations in her response. No accountability. I'm not low-functioning (finishing my graduate degree with straight As).

She taught the importance of sisterhood and support networks for building strong mental, emotional, and physical health.

You could tell everyone was feeling the message, relating to the stories, purging old pain, and letting in new light as well. Lynda encouraged us to embrace our femininity while setting realistic boundaries, celebrating our wins, and pursuing our personal & progessgoals with confidence.

I had one appointment with Gloria and will not see her again. I told her that I have had successful…read morecognitive therapy before, but that I have new mild anxiety issues I would like to work on and hold myself accountable for my progress through therapy. After only one session, she suggested I see a psychologist for a medical consultation. I told her I had succeeded with other issues in the past with therapy and without medicine and would like to try cognitive therapy first before resorting to medicine. She insisted two more times that I seek a medical consultation. I felt like she didn't even want to try to help me with cognitive therapy. I had filled out a form describing the items I would like to work on and rated my well being. During the appointment, she said my issues were all very minor and she suggested that I exaggerate my ratings as it would help the insurance cover my sessions... A few days later, I emailed her to cancel our next appointment. It is not okay that she felt it was appropriate to diagnose me and suggest a med consult after only one session together and for such mild issues. She responded with a very inappropriate email and accused me of not wanting a med consultation because I would lose control of the situation. I am self-admittedly an anxious person and taking the steps to better myself. She should not use the issues I confided in her against me.

I wanted to understand dating challenges and difficulties finding a good partner. She seemed insightful at first and she asked a lot of questions, but ultimately they didn't lead to meaningful insight or suggestions. Her APs wound up being fairly generic dating tips. I later realized I needed to get tested for ADD (distinctive symptoms) but this was not something that was ever suggested. I found her to be vaguely patronizing and the CBT negative feedback loop that she suggested didn't seem to really fit the chronic challenges I had. Attempts to express these concerns to her were not successful. I'm now if the opinion that CBT works well for trauma & symptom relief, but less well for more subtle, latent challenges.
