I have to vigorously disagree with Ann N (whose one-star review seems to have disappeared nearly…read moretwo years after she wrote it and I wrote this response). If you want a lukewarm wet noodle who empathizes with all your baggage, Joe Bak is not your man. However, if you want a therapist with a penetrating intellect who makes well-timed interventions with well-crafted observations, you need look no further. My wife and I go to him together and we find him brilliant along several veins: (1) Suggesting effective strategies to resolve issues, (2) serving as a referee in our discussions during therapy, and (3) maintaining a low-key, non-threatening approach. He's been very flexible in scheduling appointments and we've had no billing or other admin issues. The "brusque" manner that Ann N. bemoans I find to be a thin veneer stretched over a very dry humor. If I have any complaint about Dr. Bak, it would have to be that he has a tendency to be a bit late to appointments (he runs between two offices - we see him at the one off of Dairy Ashford near I-10).

Dr. Bak is very straightforward in his counseling technique. We really appreciated the fact that…read morehe was not always agreeable with what we were saying, and instead challenged us to think about things differently. He has really helped us to understand each other better, and we are very thankful for that.

I have been seeing Meredith for several years now, and every issue I've laid at her feet, she has…read morehelped me through (or is helping me through). I know how difficult it can be to find a counselor because when you first start looking, you have to tell your "story" (for lack of a better word) to each one, and this can be emotionally and physically exhausting, but I knew Meredith was the right counselor for me when I left her office feeling understood, supported, and hopeful. And every visit since then has simply reinforced those feelings. Meredith is warm and so easy to talk to. She's relatable, empathetic, and non-judgmental. She will brainstorm many treatment options with you and help you select the path that's best or most manageable. Once I was having a mental health issue she was less familiar with, and before our next visit, she had researched the issue and emailed me about treatment options that we then followed up about in person. She's also willing to work and communicate with your other healthcare providers (whether it's a PCP, OB/GYN, etc.) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible. I can't recommend her enough!

From the very first session, she made me feel completely safe, supported, and seen. Her ability to hold space with such compassion and presence is rare. She listens with intention, offers insight with care, and helps guide you back to your own strength and clarity. It's obvious she genuinely loves helping people heal and grow, and that energy is felt in every session. I'm so grateful to have found her, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone ready to take that next step toward healing. Thank you Ashley!

However, people need to be able to still find a good therapist and if you don't know what to look for, this can be a starting point. The reason I chose them is because I liked the varied levels of experience. For me an LPC Associate is no different from an LPC, but you get to choose. Each therapist shares a little bit about themselves and their background to help you decide which is the right fit. I was deciding between an Associate and a fully licensed therapist and it was one line on the therapists profile that made me think this was a good match. She has been very straightforward, helpful, and helps me get out of my head, especially when things have gotten tough and because of her, I can pick up on my patterns of when things are too stressful for me, which I don't know if I could do before on my own, because I was too close to the situation to take a step back and think...oh I can change this. I think they're a hidden gem and pretty much in demand, which makes there services better. Due to my hectic life, the video sessions best fit me, but in person sessions are available, they just don't suit me for now. They have several locations, speak Spanish, and help you if you're in crisis. I can't recommend them enough. If you're ready to take that next step, definitely visit them and get the care you deserve.
