Dr. Corbett may not be for everyone, but she has done wonders for me. I have been her patient for over a year and can attest she is absolutely empathetic and extremely observant. She does not kiss your ass. I don't pay people to do that. I see her to stay grounded and process situations in a healthier way. I have seen dozens of therapists for depression and anxiety issues. Dr. Corbett's methods do work if you pay attention. The science regarding cognitive restructuring and environmental conditioning is legit. I think she is a great balance to any prescribing psychiatric doctor, constantly reminding you about the positive impact of changes YOU make instead of giving some new drug all the credit. I highly recommend her to anyone who has not found the "right therapist" yet; she will be different, and that might be just what you need. read more

So I wanted to update my review. If you are truly looking to breakthrough your issues then look no further than Dr Corbett. She gives real examples to help explain things. She never shares personal information about other clients but may use parts of issues that may help you understand. She is tough and speaks her mind to guide you with practical information. She pushes you to grow yet is patient at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone. She gets 10 's read more

Worked with her in a professional capacity. Very mean to the clients, no empathy towards others. Like others on this thread I am unsure how she kept her license. read more

I've seeing Dr. Corbett for years and all I can is I love her she is the best doctor I've seen she came highly recommended she has always supported me. She is currently helping me through a divorce.If anyone has thing bad to say about Dr. Corbett then their nuts. read more

Best therapist I've ever had and an amazing person. Literally sees all 4 members of my family and has helped us all tremendously. She just doesn't bullshit and she will talk to you like a normal person. I honestly don't understand the bad reviews but to each their own. I know several people outside my family that see her as well and all great experiences. read more

The worst therapist I've had and unfortunately my first. I've had others since then, and even the bad ones were better than Corbett. Would lecture me for being five minutes late, but would entirely miss appointments with little to no communication (something other reviews pointed out was quite common with her). All of her statements on psychology sound more like posts from a FB mom selling essential oils than an actual doctor. Claims of hers include "it takes three days to get over an addictive habit" and "guilt isn't a real emotion, it's just shame combined with feeling you did the right thing". My mental health was absolutely set back years as she blamed me for the abuse and trauma I went through. She's not just a bad doctor, she's a back alley abortionist of the mind. read more

My therapist who I had for years and loved moved out of town taking care to find me a replacement: That's how I came to meet Dr. Corbett. I read her reviews online and noticed that they were either horrible or amazing so I decided to go myself and keep an open mind. She booked me out a month in advance and I missed the first appointment. She was nice as to reschedule me so I waited several more weeks. By the time the day came I was really in need of a good session so my hopes were maybe higher than they should have been. I really didn't want that part about her having no empathy to be true. When she shook my hand she squeezed the crap out of it. She smiled the whole time but everything else about her self projection was aggressive. And I mean like REALLY aggressive. She hardly let me get a word in from the moment we sat down! First I told her I'm trying to quit smoking herb after 20 years of being a regular smoker. She argued for about 5 minutes her opinions on marijuana being a non addictive non issue, how she doesn't care what anyone else says, it's fine and I just need to switch to sativa. Then to my surprise she lamented on about AA being ridiculous, rehab works %2 percent of the time and all people need to do is change their habits. I shifted the conversation to stage fright. She cut me off and forcefully went on about how easy that should be to think my way out of as well with positive self talk. I brought up Dr. Emoto's water experiments which she hadn't heard of at all but she rolled her eyes, shot it down and changed the subject to Galileo, then Freud, erratically. This lady really likes to hear herself talk. 20 minutes into the session I got around to my borderline personality disorder and the challenges I face having it as a mom. She went off again about how personality disorders "aren't real", they are ONLY habitual responses to trauma (very invalidating) but then also added that bpd isn't curable which contradicts what she had just said. In fact, bpd is in part due to child hood trauma but is identified physically by a malformation and disfunction of the amygdala in ones brain. It is a very real diagnosis with a well defined set of symptoms. Mind you at this point I had long since quietly concluded that I am more knowledgeable about a number of things than this licensed woman, if not psychology and neuroscience, definitely charisma, charm, basic listening and counseling skills. Nothing about this experience was therapeutic. I was really only staying to hold integrity since I'd missed my first session. She asked me matter-of-factly "How vested are you in that diagnosis? Because there's no way you could function at all if you had it". I explained I was diagnosed 12 years ago, have 7 books on it and that self knowledge and practice managing my symptoms are my saving grace to which she RUDEly inquired "Then why are you in therapy?!" !!! I said "I'm not." And left. I can't believe she is still in practice. Someone should test her for stimulants. read more

I 'll just say I've had years of therapy with many people in my life. Kimberly Corbett is a pleasure to work with. So much so that I came back looking for her years later when I was having some personal challenges. She has a casually honest very one on on cognitive approach that really resonates with me. read more

Dr. Corbett has a lot of clients. Most of them aren't going to post a review, ever, because they don't want the world to know they are in therapy. But there is something to be said for the people that legitimately try and improve themselves; though, granted, some are just going through the motions to make themselves feel better about hurting others. Therapy is expensive. There are no two ways about that. Consider the time and patience that went into Dr. Corbett's education, as well as the patience required to listen to several people a day whine about their problems, while she deals with her own, including raising kids of her own, without letting that creep back home with her every day. Could you handle it? What would that be worth to you? Yes, Dr. Corbett is a bit "quirky," for those of you raised here on the Left Coast where everything is sunshine and rainbows and nobody ever tells you anything but what they think you wanna hear. Sometimes, what we see when we look in the mirror is ugly; that's why we go to therapists in the first place. But if you expect anyone to wave a magic wand and wipe away that ugliness, well, maybe drugs are for you, which is something that Dr. Corbett AVOIDS prescribing, unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, you're gonna hafta look right at it, or call some New Age wackadoo "life coach." Be sure and feed your unicorn before you do, because you're gonna be throwing money down the toilet that could have been spent on ice cream, a hand job, or an equally effective pick-me-up. I can't stand all the phony people out here in Neverland, and sometimes I'm afraid of losing my point of view in all of it. So, for me, to have someone who sees it like it oughta be, and is there to help me find ways of dealing with it that keep me out of the gun shop, I'm ready to shell out as much as I can, as often as I can. I never ask her to cut the mustard, I wanna hear the truth, even when it's rough; because I want to be a better person, not another phony. read more

Before I went to my appointment today, I read the reviews below and was astonished. I felt uneasy that so many people had such a bad experience. When I went in I tried to be unbiased and I am glad I did. Dr. Corbett was amazing and I had a wonderful session. So please don't take what you read to heart, formulate your own opinion. read more

She spouts her opinions and judgements as if they were facts. If you have always wanted to appear on Judge Judy or perhaps the Maury Show, she is your gal. It certainly takes the uncomfortable vulnerability out of therapy, because you won't get much of a chance to speak. If you are looking for professional mental health services where your priorities and opinions will be heard, definitely look elsewhere. read more

I sent my son here to work on some anxiety issues. I agree with the previous reviewer that Dr. Corbett is a bit quirky, but she helped my son, and myself, and that's all that matters. My son suffered from some pretty serious anxiety problems. If I was 5 minutes late to pick him up from school he would be sobbing on the ground thinking that I was dead and that's why I wasn't there. He would cry for 2 hours a night about his worries. We saw Dr. Corbett every week for 6 months and my son was basically cured. Sometimes I see shades of his anxiety, but hardly ever and it's totally manageable. I highly recommend her based on that experience. I feel as if this was an awesome parenting move on my part- if more people's parents helped them with their issues as kids we'd have a lot more mentally healthy adults! read more

Someone who takes the time to write reviews about themselves, giving the reviews 5 stars and trying really hard to make the review seem legit is considered a fraud in my opinion. Take a moment and read the unapproved reviews that Yelp has filtered out. The 5 star reviews were all submitted on the same day. One review even used the name Kimberly C. Such a fraud, ploy and misleading. I will be filing a claim with my bank for fraud on what I paid her. read more

Dr. Corbett is insensitive and showed no empathy. She is also unprofessional and has no filter. For instance, she says the first thing that comes to her mind without thinking how this affects me as a client. She cannot control her emotions and does not hesitate to share her biases. For example, if you are a pet lover, don't share that with her because she will chastise you as she did with me. She is LOUD, dominates the conversation, and insists on being right all the time. It is her way or the highway. As a client, I could barely get a word in. In fact, she talks about herself and her family a lot and my needs are put aside. It is all about HER, HER, HER! I thought that psychologists are supposed to validate clients' feelings and not judge them. The opposite is true for her.... She will berate me then give me a lecture on what I'm supposed to feel. As a result, I feel belittled and judged, Dr. Corbett is constantly late and she does not even apologize each time it happens. To illustrate, I will be waiting for almost half an hour because either she is not in the office yet or she is with another client. Despite the inconvenience, she will simply brush it off or not say anything. Hence, I feel disrespected and devalued as a client. She DOES NOT RESPECT PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY. For example, she readily shares her former clients' issues/problems especially those who left her a negative review. She tells me stories about their life which is inappropriate and UNETHICAL. Further, She shares information about her current clients behind their backs. I am a patient person and gave her several chances to improve. However, the sessions got worse and worse.... I was stressed out during our sessions because I do not know when she will blow up and yell at me. One of the most therapeutic things that I did to myself was to stop seeing her. I realized that she did more harm than good. If only I read her reviews beforehand, there is no way in the world that I would see her! Looking back, I can relate with other clients who left a negative review because I experienced them myself. Finally, I won't be surprised if her license gets revoked one of these days because of her UNETHICAL and UNPROFESSIONAL behavior. She is the worse psychologist that I've ever met. read more

As a physician, I listen to patient feedback, watch for behavioral changes and evaluate outcomes in an academic manner. My personal encounters with Dr. Corbett's services have been uniformly excellent. She is a very diligent problem-based and goal-oriented healthcare professional whose name I always include in my list of potential therapists. Although I don't usually write reviews, because we all have choices, I wanted to record my experience for the record. read more

I have nothing but praise for dr. Corbett. She helped me and guided me trough a horrible family crises and I would recommend her whole heartedly to everyone I love and care for. Yes, she is very opinionated, yes she is firm and she cuts straight trough BS!!!! If you want your doctor to be a hippocratic woos that only tells you what you wanna hear, of course, blaming everything on your Mama, smiling and doing drawings of his new swimming pool that he'll buy with your sorry a__ money, then; this is a wrong place for you. Dr. C gave me professional guidance and very practical tools and advice on how to make my life easier and better, and with her help and both of our effort, I achieved peace and harmony and overcame chaos that almost ruined me! She is very PRACTICAL, and when you need help, you don't want someone who's gonna recite and quote chapters of psychology books, you want REAL PRACTICAL HELP, so you can step out of her office and use it!!!! My marriage is saved and I'm a proud and strong mother of a happy and brave sone whose life was spared so much pain and disappointment with the help of Dr. Kim Corbett. I trust her. I respect her. read more

I've only had one session with Dr. Corbett, but it was enough to realize she was not the right therapist for me. We had made our first appointment at a time convenient enough where I could get to class on time, and she knew what time I had class also. Anyway, she showed up 30 minutes late as I had to wait outside her office. Then, during our session, she talked so much and so loud making me feel so uncomfortable. She also knew it was my first therapy session (which took me a lot of courage to reach out for help, and most first time patients are nervous anyway) but she did not take that into consideration.. Every time I talked she would overpower me with her thoughts and would make me feel stupid for how I was feeling. She would curse, and make jokes when I wanted to be taken more seriously considering when someone goes to see a therapist they're not in the greatest state of mind. Then for our second appointment she had texted me saying she might be late again. I didn't even go. From my bad experience, I have yet to seek help again in fear of how psychologists might be.. I'm hoping someday I can find someone who truly has the desire to help me. This is not a doctor who seemed empathetic or caring. I also want to be a psychologist myself and she told me that she wouldn't be afraid to tell me if I'm not good enough to be a psychologist. A doctor who shoots down someone's dreams? Yeah, way to make me feel better. read more
