Then, working with Allie has been a great help with my daughter. It's a fine line to tow with a teenager on how to befriend them but also challenge them without getting ousted. She's built connection with my child and has helped her navigate some strong feelings and emotions she has. She's been able to help us as parents and understand our daughter better ,in a way that's been communicated clearly with my daughter's consent and with respect to confidentiality. It's a great working partnership. I highly recommend Allie & healing hearts counseling center for therapy.

My counselor would show up late, and not start our sessions until one hour after I got there. When I asked her about it she turned it around on me, suggesting it was just my obsessive disorder. Lol. Wow. When I told her supervisor, in front of her, she then lied, bald faced, and said she did not ever show up late. I witnessed her make a racist comment tona teenage patient, then when he complained, she denied it. Many staff were cruel to patients.

During the course of my 2 year divorce, Dr Fox was the agreed psychologist court ordered to see our…read moretwo sons. Dr Fox told me he did not accept insurance for court ordered cases and the hourly rate was $200/hour. I paid this rate for approximately 2 years, cash, for my 2 boys. $400/week for 2 years. Turns out, this was against the rules he agreed to with my insurance company, he should have only charged me the $25 copay for each visit. When I brought this to his attention, he apologized, submitted a statement to the insurance company, collected his fee from them (on top of my $200/hour) and moved on. I am out approximately $14,000 and Dr Fox received additional payments from insurance for 3 months times 2 every week for those 3 months. He was double billing for those 3 months. Insurance will only pay on claims in the last 90 days. Dr Fox is a double billing scam. Do not trust this man in financial matters. I would like to add, Dr Fox was always more supportive of me than the father, he clearly saw the abusive nature of the family dynamic. I write this because what he did was shitty, he did not "wrong" me in the courts, he saw an opportunity to money grab and took it.
