After about another 20 or so minutes she said we need to wrap up, we discussed if Thursdays at a specific time worked for me and I said no. I am traveling the following week and usually have HS commitments Thursdays and Fridays. She has in office days of T & TH and W was virtual. So Tuesdays was mentioned by Bonnie at a specific time and I said wonderful! That works. She walked me out and brought in her next appointment. I left. Tuesday (today), I show up 15 minutes before our scheduled time... handled some business on my phone while I waited. 20 minutes later, I sent her text to remind her I was waiting in the lobby for her and one, didn't recognize my number (ok, I am newer patient) two said "Your appointment is Thursday @ Time. I am home doing virtual today". I texted back, "We changed it because I am traveling on Thursday" I then texted "So you are not here? I am not happy. I am leaving". She texted "I am only in office on T & TH so I am never there on Wednesdays. I am sorry for the miscommunication and I certainly understand why you are upset". I texted back "I was in your office today, TUESDAY. I am not happy. I can not do Thursdays. I stated that, we agreed Tuesdays.... Today is Tuesday not Wednesday " She then went on about she would try to open up Tuesdays, etc. I just don't feel confident in her abilities to LISTEN and take down details about my sessions. Just really confirm your next appointments with Bonnie. She seems sweet and caring but... I can supply screen shots of our conversation, but don't feel it is necessary. thank you.

Excellent collection of mental health professionals. Depression, social anxiety, spousal abuse,…read moreobsessive procrastination, anorexia, grief, et al. They provide tools to help clients grapple with all of these issues. If I could offer more than five stars, I would attach as many as possible to this review. Outside of their counseling expertise, they have great administrative staff. Many payment options available. I needed receipts to submit last minute before my FSA money was deleted. They mailed them the day I called and I got them the very next day!!! No charge to me for the postage, which was greatly appreciated. Seriously. A lot of other offices would have been like, "You can drive over and pick them up at our front desk."

I thought that would forever be my worst story of therapy gone wrong, of a therapist superimposing their own beliefs and issues on me. Diana hit a new record. She "fired" me as a client and pulled wildly unethical moves before doing so. I wholly believe that there is a time to part ways when therapy isn't serving the client or when a client is rejecting help from the therapist to everyone's detriment. Therapists have just as much of a right to end the relationship as clients do. The reason I'm writing this has nothing to do with the farewell and everything to do with how it was handled. I have an eating disorder. I made it clear from the start that I didn't care that she didn't specialize in them. I'd had enough therapy around eating disorders and wanted to take a new approach. I also told her in our first session that if she thought it wasn't a fit to have open communication because I would be doing so. I've played the "suffer through a relationship that isn't working" game too much at this point in therapy. We had weekly sessions for months. I thought many of them were helping. But then I told her how many calories I consumed during the week. That was undeniably the point where she flipped. We talked for a month or so more. She started talking to my dietician more. That seemed logical to me. And then she started telling my therapist I needed to go to treatment. Asking her why she hadn't suggested it or wasn't pushing it on me. (She has.) I am in no way a high risk anorexic. Perhaps treatment wouldn't hurt but my life right now prioritizes above something that isn't necessary. She pressured me and I said no, several times. And then the day came where she let me tell her about my life before interrupting and starting the conversation of removal of services provided. Like I mentioned, that alone wasn't the issue. What WAS the issue was that she had also called my dietician and tried to pressure her into leaving me. To the point of my dietician's discomfort and recognition that abandonment on that level would be detrimental and more harmful that good. (How Diana didn't see that, I don't know.) She gave me an ULTIMATUM of treatment or no therapy. She told me I COULD NOT go to therapy ANYWHERE until I dealt with my eating disorder. (And no, this wasn't just in reference to being cognitively unable to proceed with EMDR.) She wouldn't give me referrals. She made fun of the shirt I was wearing that day that said, "Mental health is health," because I wouldn't go to treatment. I was in utter shock during that last session so I didn't really have responses beyond saying no to treatment and that I understood where she was coming from. But none of those things are okay and I should have said that to her then. I regret that. Fuck that. I deserve therapy. Everyone does. She clearly spooked when eating disorder stuff came up, was not educated on it, and chose to bully and threaten me instead of just saying, "I'm not qualified in this topic and don't feel comfortable proceeding." Period. Period. Period. If you don't fit in her little box of qualifications, stay away. And if you pick up any of her own anxieties, leave. It's not worth wasting your time.

Working with the psychologists at Deep Eddy has helped me become happy and confident in who I am…read more For the last 7 months, I've been seeing Dr. Charlotte Howard for individual and Dr. Jev Sikes for group therapy. I'd never heard of group therapy outside of a rehab setting, but the combination of individual attention and working with others in a group has made it easier for me to recognize how my own reactions are received in others. Going to Deep Eddy feels so indulgent because I am taking the time solely for working on myself. However, the time I spend here has improved my outlook, my self image, my attitude, and every single relationship in my life. I highly recommend Charlotte or Jev (or anyone they recommend) to those who are ready to spend time and attention on themselves.

I reached out to Deep Eddy to schedule a appointment with a PA or NP of psychiatry for medication…read moremanagement because I was finishing up a 12 week program at Meadows outpatient Center. I really only needed them to manage 4 medications (lithium, Quetiapine, lamotrigine and propranolol) no controlled substances. The dosages were already figured out. All the work had already been done for them. I also listed a bunch of other PRNs that I had tried while in treatment that i wasn't currently taking. Again no controlled substances, they were trazadone, gabapentin, hydroxyzine. I've been a RN for over 12 years, I was the supervisor on the first acute care floor in central tx to take on covid. The first wave really did a number on me that caused a lot of my PTSD. Anyway, what im trying to say is I tell people when they haven't been honest with me, to avoid being resentful toward them. When I tried to set up this appointment to see a PA for medication management I was denied because I was too "high acuity." What happened before that was me giving Christopher Keener some honest feedback on his response time. They wouldn't confirm the appointment until they had a credit card on file. Before I could put my husband's credit card on file I had to fill out a release of information form. Which made me feel like a criminal that had to prove my innocence. Credit card information has nothing to do with HIPAA. I have never heard or been asked to do this before. I was told I would be called as soon as it was in. I did it right away, waited, emailed to see if he received it, waited a little longer, tried to access my portal to enter the card but it hadn't been set up, I called back got someone different they said they sent him a message and he would be calling back in 20mins, it never happened that day. I wanted to get it done because I was finishing up treatment the next day and wouldn't have my phone on me. They would only hold the spot for 24hrs and i was worried I'd loose it. No attempt was made to reach out to me for clarification, no doc to doc was requested. Just a refusal. The corespondance is copied and pasted below. Notice the times. I gave him some honest feedback about response time at 11:46 and the refusal was sent at 11:52. I think somebody(Christopher Keener) may have got in their feelings and did this passive aggressive lash out. I'm really surprised that a therapist(Christopher keener) could have such thin skin. I love his its not you its me response. "Please know this isn't a reflection on you in any way; it's simply about making sure you receive the support that's best suited to your situation."

As I mentioned, our team primarily focuses on more routine psychiatric support, and I want to make sure you're connected with care that fully aligns with what you're going through right now. Based on what you've shared, it sounds like your current needs may be better supported by a provider or clinic that offers a higher level of care than what we're able to provide here.

Although we dated for several years before getting married, we welcomed our daughter just a year after being married. We finally had the perfect little family that we always imagined, but truthfully our marriage was struggling. Cathie has been amazing! She has provided us with invaluable tools to improve on our communication and ignite the spark that we lost over time. I love that Cathie is compassionate, yet straight forward. For the first time in a long time, my husband and I are truly enjoying each other again! If you are struggling with your relationship or just looking for tools to better improve your marriage I would highly recommend reaching out to Cathie. My husband was initially hesitant about seeking counseling and he will agree that it was the best decision we've ever made for our family. We are extremely grateful for Cathie and her guidance!

My husband and I are beyond grateful for her. She changed our lives for the better forever. We are beyond lucky to have her in our corner throughout our marriage journey. She tackled hard conversations with grace and truth, she led us closer to God and helped our marriage grow healthy in a world full of distraction. She is honest while nurturing. We are so much better equipped to handle this life together and our marriage. If your marriage is in need of a refresher, tackling traumas or root issues, we truly believe Cathie can help anyone in any state. She is diligent in notetaking and dissecting the core of the issue and navigating long term solutions.

This is my 2nd past life regression, having done my first with someone else five years ago. Having been through a past life regression before, I understood that PLR can be deeply impactful where the lessons learned continue to unfold well into the future. Given this, it's not typical to go through multiple sessions in the way other therapies are designed. Yvonne takes all of this into consideration when approaching PLR. She asks you to do pre-work in preparation for the session so that you're able to get the most out of it. She also helps ease you into the process through discussion prior to the start of the session. What I enjoyed most about working with Yvonne is how deeply connected she is to higher guidance. At the beginning of our session I could tell that she was being given quite a lot of guidance about me to where I didn't need to explain a whole lot. The guidance also provided answers to me through her. It was incredible. If you're considering doing a PLR session, I highly recommend working with Yvonne. She knows how to hold space for people so that they are able to learn from a source of wisdom that is not always easily accessible in day-to-day life.
