Atrocious. Joyce has made me fear therapy for the past two years after seeing her in 2021. She is extremely judgmental, rude, and interrupted me at nearly every sentence. I talked to her about my body insecurities and she said that I better get on Weight Watchers instead of, I don't know, offering literally any comfort. I told her once that I replaced my snacks with fruit and she rolled her eyes and said "that's caloric". Jokes on you, Joyce, I lost 60 pounds and enjoy eating dried mango every chance I get, absolutely no thanks to you. Everything I talked about went in one ear and out the other with her. In every session, I would be in the middle of a thought or a sentence and she would interrupt me to give some vaguely tangential personal anecdote or some offhand criticism.
This woman is also extremely bigoted. My mother also saw her and discussed my sister who came out as transgender, and Joyce just said my sister was probably "just a confused gay boy". Disgusting and transphobic.
I am sincerely wondering who gave Joyce her license to act as a therapist because they should take it back. I am genuinely concerned that someone like Joyce Colburn should not even be allowed to interact with other people in everyday life after seeing just how judgmental and rude she is. Believe me when I say I have not been in therapy for two years since seeing Joyce because she has made me fear being vulnerable with a therapist ever since. If you are looking to book a session with her, you're better off just venting to a brick wall, it'll cost you less and spare you the judgment. read more
