He's a great therapist as long as he's getting paid and you are going to weekly sessions. But…read moresimilar to the shoemakers son who doesn't have shoes.... Dr. Newell does not practice what he teaches in his own life. He's a cold hearted human being. We stopped therapy because we were moving out of state. We couldn't attend the weekly session times because of my sons school schedule so I asked for a few sessions at random times like when he had cancellations so we could do closure. He never contacted me and completely ghosted me by not returning my emails or texts. I have seen him and paid him weekly for the last 6 years. How can a decent human being act that way? I still don't get it. I'm so hurt. I have no idea how to get over this. I went to his office to confront him and he just looked at me and said " Yvette, you quit therapy over a text. What did you expect?" That's not what happened and he knows it. He's obviously upset because I'm no longer paying him weekly and moving out of state. He even made a comment about how "well I have to make a living". Unbelievable and unprofessional behavior coming from such a smart guy. All I can say is that he should practice what he teaches and maybe go to therapy himself.

Before even talking about my experience with him, you should probably know that he had his license…read morerevoked for refusing to participate in an investigation into his practices around the early 2010's. As for what he did to me, he tormented me for three years leaving more traumatized than I was before. every single session I dreaded going (didn't go to him by choice, my parents chose him), when I came out to him as bi he laughed at me and asked, and I quote, "would you take it up the a$$?!" Which of course threw me off as a 16 year old kid and forced me to just drop it. He would continue to bring that moment up over the years calling it "the funnies thing he's experienced in all his years of being a therapist". Later when I said that I'm agnostic he asked if I even know what that means, to which I said "I know there's a higher power, I just don't care enough to look for it" and he told me I was completely wrong, again forcing me to drop it. When I started to refuse to go to church he suggested my mom punish me if I did it again, even tho I hadnt been christian for several years. All in all, he's a terrible therapist especially when it comes to teenagers because he tries to get the parents to raise their kids the same way he raised his (which is very strict with very few freedoms, harsh Punishments for little things, and overall controlleing to a high degree) and he refuses to let you express yourself if that expression is anything other than what he believes is right. I even felt judged for being left leaning because of how conservative he is and how personally he takes anyone not agreeing with him

I bring all 3 of my kids here & we've had nothing but good experiences. *I highly recommend Dr…read more Tarpey* she's very knowledgeable & has such a kind demeanor. Never is she condescending or pretentious, which I really appreciate as a parent. The facility is big, clean, & organized. It also seems very secure, which you'll see when you notice how their doors are set up. They are typically on time, & take their time with you. I've never felt rushed or disregarded. They've even allowed my two older children to have an appointment together, to save time. Great office.

I have always struggled to maintain weight loss and an exercise program due to my fondness…read more(addiction) of potato chips and other starchy items such as French fries. I would lose 20 pounds, plateau, get frustrated, and put back on 20+ pounds. Never fails. I had considered hypnotherapy on many occasions, but it never went beyond that. After my last failed effort, I decided I had nothing left to lose. To be honest, I didn't even know if I could be placed under hypnosis but I was willing to try. My weight was back up to 269 pounds, so I called Bobbie to schedule an appointment. During the first session, she explained to me how the mind works and why hypnosis is effective. We also identified my expectations and set some measurable goals. Hypnotherapy didn't occur until the second session. To say it was enjoyable and relaxing would be an understatement. It is difficult to explain the feeling. Following this session, I was provided a recording of her voice to listen to when I sleep to reinforce my subconscious to alter my habits permanently. Results have been tremendous thus far. It's been about two months since our session. I still listen to the recording several times a week. Best part...I am down 24 pounds, exercise 6 days a week, and haven't craved a potato chip or French fry. I appreciate all that Bobbie has done for me and would recommend her to anyone. Sorry for being so wordy. Take care everyone.
