Went there for the first and last time today. The place is filthy. Plants in QT soda cups,…read moreincredibly stained carpets, the arms of the chairs and couch are so dirty, they are black and sticky. I actually brought this up at the end of my appointment and was given excuses like, "oh, I have been telling them to clean for months," and "I didn't realize the chair was that dirty because I don't sit on that side of the room." As far as the person I talked to, she had the radio on the entire time next to her and kept saying, "pardon me?" when I would talk, because she could obviously not hear me over the radio. I went in to talk about possible depression, within ten minutes, she was saying how pills can "lift the fog," I expressed not wanting to go straight to medication as an answer, and she said, "I didn't say you should." She was very argumentative and told me things like, "maybe you should get a new job," and "don't worry about your kids, if they haven't burnt down the house, they're fine." Never again. I am going to go shower now.

I had called back the same day after making the appointment with her cuz I had a question and never got a return call. I called 3 more times the week of my appointment to confirm and still didn't hear back. The morning of she called me saying she was late cuz of her new puppy. When she arrived I was trying to openly communicate about what had happened. She then said "YOU'RE CLEARLY UNHAPPY" and I left.. GREAT SESSION. I was looking forward to meeting with her. She has a lot of great reviews but my experience was very unprofessional.

As a sidebar, I went with Smart Start for the interlock because of many reasons, the best being they were the lowest cost with multiple states and the most professional and transparent, by far.

Changed my review based on new experiences here. Someone reached out to me and asked me about what…read moreI experienced. He apologized which meant a lot. He also assured me that I did nothing wrong and therapist aren't allowed to reserve unscheduled spots here. That has also been my experience in the past with my old therapist. If I didn't schedule out far enough, then another client could schedule and I'd just have to miss out or schedule the next available day that that time was open. It's first come first serve so what Stacy did was wrong. I was then paired with Dr. D whom I saw for a few months and definitely felt much safer. Then due to availability, I switched to Sally and wow. She is the perfect therapist for me. I don't plan on leaving Desert Sage while they have a gem like Sally there. Thank you all for reaching out to me.

Disappointing and obnoxiously unavailable…read more All of my kids have attended therapy here at one point or another, and two shared the same therapist. One of my children needed consistent support but was suddenly dropped as a client under false circumstances. When I tried to find a different therapist, per my child's request and the advice of other medical professionals, I attempted to stay with the practice. An appointment was made with a new therapist, only for the practice to later cancel it and say my child was restricted to seeing only one other therapist, without providing any explanation. That therapist had limited availability, which would have required me to pull my child from school inconsistently. When I explained that wouldn't work, I was told, "Well, maybe this isn't the right practice for you." Not my child, me. I was advocating for my child to receive consistent care, and that response was incredibly disappointing. Don't waste your time here, you'll end up needing more therapy than what you walked in with.

Saved our marriage! Michelle is incredible. My spouse and I…read morewere at a complete breaking point. We had tried traditional 50-minute weekly couples therapy in the past, but it felt like we spent the first 20 minutes getting caught up and the last 10 wrapping up, without ever getting to the root of our issues. We needed real help, fast. We found Michelle Shahbazyan and booked an intensive couples coaching session (her extended deep-dive session). It was hands down the best investment we have ever made in our relationship. I had seen her for some personal work many years ago and was so glad to have connected with her again for this new issue. Instead of just sitting back and taking notes, Michelle is direct, empathetic, and extremely solution-focused. Having that uninterrupted block of time during the intensive allowed us to finally tear down the communication walls, stop the endless cycle of arguing, and figure out what was actually going wrong in our marriage. If you are searching for a marriage coach or relationship counselor who actually gives you real-life, actionable tools rather than just generic advice, call Michelle. She completely shifted our perspective and gave us a clear path forward. We left our session feeling lighter, reconnected, and hopeful for the first time in years. Highly recommend her to any couple needing a true breakthrough!

It was helpful, but…read moredid not address a major concern (which had been presented to her prior to our first meeting). Within a week of our counseling session our marriage was worse than before. I contacted Michelle and she said that my wife is very guarded about her issues and the likelihood is that she doesn't want to work on herself. Michelle was correct. In hindsight I regret we agreed to such a long initial session. I think we should have limited our initial session to an hour or two. It could have flushed out my wife's lack of willingness and commitment to counseling and saved us an enormous amount of money with no positive result.

In-person appointment for my child. No temp checks, which every other health-related office I've…read morebeen to is doing religiously. There's a sign on the door that says masks must be worn on the premises at all times but a woman standing behind the desk in the receptionist area had her mask down around her neck, talking away while we checked in and paid. The therapist took her mask off and told us we could take our masks off as soon as we got into her office and then proceeded to complain about wearing masks and talk about how ridiculous it was that many schools were still virtual. Totally inappropriate. This place is supposed to be about mental health, but they could care less if they're passing COVID around to everyone who enters. I'm trying to find a new therapist for my child.

The counselor had an attitude about masking. The counselor also made the appointment about him and his agenda, rather than listening and finding out what the issue is.
