My direct experience with Renewal of The Mind Therapy involved difficulty obtaining basic parent…read moreaccess and administrative information for my minor child's therapy. This review is based on my own communications with the practice. On Jan. 12, 2026, I told the therapist that I had contacted the office for scheduling information and was told I was not listed as someone who could receive it. I asked what was needed to be included and stated that the court order authorized my access. On Jan. 29, 2026, I specifically asked what Renewal needed from me to add me to the system/portal for notifications, including forms, ID verification, or a copy of the order. Instead of asking me directly at that time for ID or court documentation, the response I received was that the other parent had been sent a document she needed to complete so I could receive notifications, and that she also needed to sign the treatment plan. On Feb. 4, 2026, the therapist again wrote that Renewal was still waiting on the other parent to sign off on the treatment plan and fill out the contact form with my information so I could be added. On Mar. 6, 2026, I again clarified that I shared legal custody and equal parental rights and offered to resend the court order if needed. From my perspective, the issue was not clinical confidentiality or therapy notes. I was seeking basic administrative access: appointment notices, scheduling information, attendance confirmation, billing/records information, and a clear process for parent access. That process was confusing and delayed for months. Later, the practice characterized the issue as verification and portal limitations, but the earlier emails show my access was being held up by the other parent's paperwork/signature rather than by a direct request to me for verification. I respect the need to protect minor-client privacy, but a therapy practice should have a clear, timely, and neutral process for verifying and communicating with both legal parents about administrative records. In my experience, Renewal's process was not clear or timely.

I sought Well Marriage Center for relationship counseling as a single woman. Working with a…read moretherapist helped me develop a better relationship with myself. I learned to be honest and kind to myself, after all, how can you expect to have a good relationship with someone else if you cant love yourself first? I learned to take responsibility for my own feelings, thoughts, actions and personal boundaries. I became more aware of what I am ok and not ok with. I discovered how to be more assertive and better able to make choices that keep me in relationships (or out) where I feel safe and happy am my own priority. I am so grateful for what I've learned and HIGHLY recommend you speak with a counselor here. I have and will continue to recommend people to them! Thanks for helping me love me! Edits: Spelling

It is never OK (in the absence of violence/drugs/alcohol/infidelity) for the marriage counselor to discuss marriage-ending (and related "deal-breaker" questions). What I need in the marriage is a cooperative partnership. I trusted Marc Patience to bring balance, but he repeatedly validated Wife's passive aggressive behavior, and pushed me back for my opposition. And now, Wife contemptuously repeats Marc's words at me.

Blue Ridge Psychological Center was recommended to me by my primary care physician for finding a…read more"Licensed Professional Counselor" (LCP) to talk with about what I was going through when my Mother passed away last year. There is to this day a stigma surrounding mental health issues. But we as a society need to talk about them - as there is a lot that can be done to help folks out when they need help. Before last year - I never understood why anyone would need to go talk to someone such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor. But I learned the hard way last summer. My hope is that in writing this review - it will help out others - to let them that know that they need to pursue assistance, get help, talk about these issues and get the issues into the light of day - and get back on the right track! When my Mother passed away last summer - I was pretty stressed out over her passing. I did not do a very good job of dealing with the stress, grief, and anxiety of losing her. My primary care physician wanted me to go talk with a counselor to help me get through this difficult period of time. This was corroborated by the two psychiatrists I went to visit for first and second opinions. They both felt I was experiencing some generalized anxiety over the loss of my Mom. So I started to visit with Eve Radin, an LPC. initially I wasn't sure what to expect, but Eve has this calming effect and she started working with me to find ways to deal with, manage, and reduce my stress. For the first six months or so, I'd go and visit with her once a week. I actually looked forward to the sessions - knowing that I was making progress and with her help am getting back to where I wanted and needed to be. Highly recommended!

By the time we left in April we were able to apply what we learn from her in real life situation without guidance and mind you we felt we could do it alone as she gladly would of continue to work with us. Without her who knows what condition we would be as a couple and are glad we were able to discover our love languages which is key. I would love to thank her for saving not only our marriage but for making us better partners for each other and would gladly come back if we felt the need of her help! If you are hesitant or feel like you are both a step or two from dissolving your marriage please give her a try as you have nothing to lose but please note you must both want to put in the work because without that there is no point. She also is fairly flexible with times as my husband's schedule was quite different than mine. Good luck and hope she was as helpful as she was to us.
