"Wow, you went there to find hope and support, and you got stabbed in the back". Michael starts asking my wife and I the typical questions. Then he segwayed to questions that had to do with physical abuse. After we both answered no, nothing like that had ever occurred, he stayed on it, clearly with an agenda. I was thinking this is odd, very unprofessional that he continues on this line of reasoning after we said no. Then he asks me specifically, "do you ever imagine hitting your wife"? This was very bizarre to me, why would he be asking me that specific question...and it only gets worse from here. After I answered no, I've never even thought of hitting my wife, he starts to ask questions about tough times in my life. Just as I was finished explaining, he asks my wife, "Is he always this wound up." Wound up I thought, he was just asking me about the stressful situations in my life, is it not common to be wound up when you're talking about stressful situations? This guy is a professional I thought? After he asked my wife the question about me being wound up, he turns to me and says, "I imagine you're opposed to medication". At that point I was really confused. Now he's talking about me taking medication??! He hardly knows me I thought. I said not really, I've never thought about it. He says looking at my wife, "well there is a chance if you don't get this under control he could hit you in the future". WHAT? I thought I misheard....and get what under control, how you perceive me to be explaining a stressful story about my life? This again is after my wife and I both answered explicitly there has never even been a thought of physical anything? I swear on all that is good that's what he said. At that point I had enough, I was not happy. I told him HE, might hit HIS wife, then I said, you don't have a wedding ring on that finger? You're a marriage therapist and you're not even married? He said this isn't about me and was VERY agitated. This was all to much. I stood up and walked out of his office as I spewed a few expletives at him. He license should be pulled.

As a therapist myself, I was in search of a professional to help me see the things I couldn't see for myself. A professional to ask the "appropriate" questions to surface the real issues that I had longed to release. I also desired to work with someone balanced - meaning not just strictly scientific in their approach but spiritual as well. I was only able to see Aileen for a brief 2 months or so, but as my intention was set to "be well", and Aileen understanding the short duration we would have together she provided the necessary work for me to release attachments to the past, fears and also helped me to find my voice, step up and step out into the world to fulfill my purpose in life. I appreciate Aileen for the quality of work she provided for me and the variety of techniques she used. It wasn't always just sitting on the couch and talking but there was interactive work involved. I appreciate having something to take home and work on from one session to the next and Aileen offered a variety of practices, meditations, visualizations and other suggestions that I could pick and choose from... or not, if I so chose. I recommend her services to anyone seeking an understanding and effective therapist. One who holds a space of love, openness, and yet directive. I also encourage anyone to join her Meditation Monday class as I also found new insights into freeing my "Self", new friends and community there as well. Aileen is a 10+ and I am forever grateful for the freedom I experience in the present. Thank you, Aileen Nealie :) Cheers, Howard

I have been seeing Aileen for almost 2 years now. She has helped me through an extremely…read morechallenging part of my life, and did so with compassion and understanding. She took the time to get to know me and built a therapeutic and ETHICAL relationship based on trust and respect. Before becoming Aileen's patient, I was seeing a very dysfunctional and abusive therapist and was extremely anxious, depressed, and lost due to huge boundaries violations. At the very first session I felt a real connection with her. She was so genuine and I felt that she really cared about me. She did not judge the mess my life was in, but rather gave wonderful perspective to me about the choices I was making. Aileen, thank you for being such an important part of my life. Thank you for developing a therapeutically healthy and ethical relationship with me. You are truly healing one soul at a time! Love, S.

I don't appreciate the unprofessionalism and patronizing tone that Kimberly felt she was entitled to address me in front of my child. Instead of pulling me aside to talk to me, she lectured me with my child in the room to prove to my daughter that she was her advocate. I withdrew my child from therapy because there was no support for our family unit, just divisiveness and projection. Just because I put my child in a therapist's care, it doesn't give them the right to assume that what they assume is always right. Kimberly was making assumptions that was wrong. She needs to address her own personal biases and past trauma before she can work on what a healthy mindset really is.

I had no idea what to expect going into therapy and was really nervous. But from the initial phone call to set up an appointment, Linda was extremely friendly and funny--just what I like in someone who I can cry about my life story to. ;) During our initial visit (almost a year ago now, but who's counting?), I'd brought her a list of everything that bothered me. I was just so relieved so be able to have someone to talk to about everything. She immediately helped me to change my though process, and deal with my anxieties. She's very good at digging down to why you feel how you feel, and how to get a positive outcome from it. Linda is extremely resourceful and has always been able to answer any questions that I have. She really goes the extra mile to help (she's made phone calls and given me information for various things) you with what you need. I am so grateful for all of the help Linda has given me because I feel like such a different person since I've first started seeing her. I always look forward to our appointments. Thank you Linda!!
