Duncan helped me discover an emotional world that I didn't even know existed. At the beginning of…read moremy time with him, I was dissatisfied with many parts of my life, and I was unclear of the reasons why. Duncan helped me on a path of self discovery that helped me realize some of the root causes of my self-esteem and relationship issues, and we worked on tools I could use to navigate those in the future. I've been to a few therapists before, and Duncan was the best by far. He was the first therapist I saw who seemed to really "get" what was going on with me below the surface. He's an excellent listener and would reference things we talked about weeks or months before. He also challenged my thinking in a constructive way. Lastly, I appreciated his balance between listening, asking me questions, and sharing his insight. I felt much better after every session.

When I started seeing Johnny, I was overwhelmed, stressed & unhappy. In the short time I've been…read moreworking with her, she has taught me tools to deal with the reasons at the heart of my stress. I sleep better, I'm happier, and I have more energy. I have recommended Johnny to others before and would recommend her again in a heartbeat. When I use the tools I've learned, I prevent a huge amount of the stress I used to feel. When I do get worked up, I go back to the tools, I'm able to calm down, and I see a path through that I know I can manage. In our sessions, we talk through issues, look at tools I can use, and process negative events using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). Using EMDR has been a huge help. I start out feeling worried and hurt, and during the EMDR, those feelings decrease and go away. Positive, healthy feelings rise up to replace them, and I end up feeling relaxed and worthy. Johnny has helped me build a life that I'm loving, and I heartily recommend her.

My experience with EMDR Therapy with Ms. Powell was extremely successful and rewarding. I believe…read morea significant factor in this success was the time Johnny took to properly educate and prepare me for this innovative and relatively new therapy. Part of the first appointment was spent defining the "rules" for both of us in terms of cancellations, insurance paperwork, etc. What I really appreciated about this was it set a level of respect that went both ways: what I needed to do as a client and what she needed to do as a therapist. The explanation of the EMDR therapy plus the time to get a solid foundation for the actual work was not at all rushed, which made the whole process that much more comfortable. For anyone not familiar with this particular therapy, it is intended to help victims of trauma. I was hesitant to enter this therapy because I would not have considered my problems to be trauma-based, but trauma is not necessarily a violent or accident/attack incident. If you find yourself "stuck" with the same recurring thought(s) about specific troubling incidents that you just can't seem to get beyond, you should consider trying this therapy. After some difficult but well-guided work, I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. Having reprocessed some very negative thoughts in to something much more constructive through EMDR Therapy, I sleep better, have more patience and concentration, and simply feel better overall. Johnny's style and approach to therapy are professional yet easy going, and a comfortable client has a greater chance of success. My time with Johnny was well spent with a very successful outcome.

Unlike many counselors Dr…read more Maynard has done his own spiritual, emotional and family of origin work, which enables him to be completely present and emotionally available to his clients. He has a plethora of credentials and experience, but he is so humble anyone would feel welcome in his office. Dr. Maynard is so needed and valued by his clients that I doubt that he has any availability, but if you are lucky enough to work with this great counselor you are certainly on the path of growth! I am so grateful to have found this wonderful practitioner and hope that everyone has the opportunity to grow the way I have emotionally and spiritually in a counseling setting.

Carol is probably the LEAST professional psychotherapist I've been to see, and that's saying a lot…read morebecause we are talking about a rather large sampling -- LOL. Truth be told, I am a bit of a female Woody Allen. I had three sessions with Carol. The first two were okay, but I found myself repeating details a lot -- people's names, etc. I figured I'd give it some time to see if she had a bad memory or if she'd catch on. But during the third session the building maintenance people were doing construction in the office next door to Carol's. And it was loud, really loud. During the session, she turns to me and says, "This is going to last for about an hour." Um, um, um. "Do you think that perhaps you could have called me in advance to cancel the session given that neither one of us can hear a word the other saying?" Clearly she knew about the noise in advance. IMO, a professional therapist would have ended the session there or called the client to cancel. Nope, not Carol. In fact, during the session she was completely distracted and had her body partially turned to the back wall where the noise was coming from. Yet when I complained to her about how unproductive this session was afterward, she completely denied that there was a problem.... Of course she wanted me to come in to pay for another session to talk about MY reaction to the noise. I decided to give it one more shot and was going through a difficult time. Carol just couldn't get it together to reply to my email requests for an appointment in a timely way. When she finally did reply she said something like "I'd love to talk with you." Okay, great. Good to know after nearly 2 weeks of trying to get in touch. However, she failed to provide a day and time for when that might happen. What therapist agrees to an appointment, then doesn't know to provide a day and time for the appointment? Feeling really annoyed, I sent several emails sequentially just to annoy Carol. Not my finest moment, I admit. That's when Carol told me (via email mind you) that I need to work on my interpersonal skills. No sh-t. Why does she think I'm going to a therapist to begin with? At that point she still expected us to talk a few days later. Um, no. Healer: heal thyself. I told Carol that my lack interpersonal skills still don't change the fact that she was completely unprofessional in her handling of the situation, and that it was really bad form for her to attack me especially via email. Carol never apologized or acknowledged the problems on her end. Done. Good-bye, lady. I guess now I can only aspire to Carol's finely-honed interpersonal skills which seem to include license to criticize a client via email. I've often thought psychotherapists go into practice to try to fix themselves. Here is a clear case of that. (By way of background, I came to Carol through the work she and several colleagues do on weekends involving family constellations (Bert Hellinger). I've done tons of this work with a very gifted facilitator. Carol's colleagues succeed only in spite of themselves. Hellinger's model is that powerful. But their facilitation really kinda sucks. One of her colleagues, Betsy, is perpetually about to end a constellation because she doesn't know where to go with it. The other, Mary, is just grouchy and completely misses key components of how constellations are supposed to be set up.

Again, I saw the poor review of Carol and wanted to post my thoughts…read more I saw Carol over a number of years. She helped me to gain back perspective on my life and improve my self esteem. Before seeing Carol, I had been going to a different therapist for a few years who I now believe was not helpful to me. When I expressed my frustration with my lack of progress, he eventually started to attribute this to me as "not doing the work". I met Carol as a co-therapist in a group he was doing and she heard his harsh and painful comments. I eventually switched to her and she really helped me to gain perspective on the previous therapist and my life. In addition I referred her to at least 2 friends who she was able to help over difficult periods in their lives. When/if I do need therapy again, I take reassurance knowing Carol is still in practice.

I arranged an appointment for my child with Wendy Radding (LCSW) at Harmony Psychotherapy Center…read more At first, she appeared to be pleasant towards me and my child however within the first 5 minutes of speaking with me, she was condescending and rude regarding some of my parenting choices. She appeared to be judging me within the first 5 minutes of our conversation. After she met with me, my mother and my child together, she continued to make judgments on my parenting and was rude and not helpful with techniques that I could use to help my child with my childs different issues. When I asked questions, she gave condescending answers and she was closed off with her interpersonal skills. She did not listen fully to my concerns and already seemed to have her mind made up on how I was not parenting correctly. After 15 minutes, we realized that she was not providing the service as advertised. She did not offer alternative interventions, she did not nurture the situation by listening and giving successful strategies for my child's weaknesses. When she did speak, she spoke with an attitude and with a condescending tone that put me on edge. She was insulting and dismissed concerns that I had regarding things that could be causing my child's behavior problems. She even discredited food coloring, artificial flavoring, and sugar as a legitimate concern for a parent investigating their child's hyper activeness, refusing to consider this as a potential behavior factor. I left her office and then returned to ask for my paperwork back since she did not provide the service we had agreed upon, and she stated "No, that is my paperwork and I will be billing insurance the full hour because you wasted an hour of my time." Wendy Radding does not encompass the Social Work Code of Ethics and I would never recommend this therapist to anyone.
