    Do not work here. Very unprofessional. Things are not done the right way, and issues are ignored.

    It's really a beautiful place to find help especially when you find the right therapist.

I'm really going to miss her so much . The office is really clean and all the receptionist are so sweet and helpful.

    Communal narcissism runs rampant in healthcare. I've learned that through medical gaslighting and…read morethrough my own working experience with neglectful or abusive staff. Dr. Hamidian has displayed nothing short of defensiveness, blame-shifting, and a red herring tactic.aldo a complete disregard and lack of trauma centered focus. She's displays a total lack of empathy and professional manner towards vulnerable populations. I very much demonstrate Autism Level 1 traits but not to the full extent of D. Hamidian's report. The intake coordinator misconstrued some details I explained, especially about my extensive trauma history. Before I even received the online assessments, I already received a treatment plan and got assigned to a therapist. The treatment plan in no way shaped my faults and character. Plus it was overly generalized. This caused me some emotional distress over the months I was back and forth trying to change apartments based on my stress level or busy level. I complained about the experience that caused me stress and anxiety to HR. I agreed to make a video visit with Dr. Hamidian. During the visit, Dr. Hamidian repeatedly interrupted me and once again took some details out of context. Then she wrote another harsh and inaccurate report about me without knowing much about me. I emailed her 4-5 times in regards to my thoughts and feelings -- requesting corrections. Yes I want blunt in my emails because I wanted to be clear how upset I was with her unprofessionalism. She replied that she would modify the review, then she didn't reply again for 3 weeks. I left a thoughtful but critical review which she responded to two days later. She was highly defensive and unprofessional in her email. I replied back and forth until we were about to meet on 03/30 in person. Despite my fatigue, I conversed and reciprocated for 1 1/2 hours with Dr. Hamidian. But go ahead and tell me that I don't know how to hold conversations. Dr. Hamidian spent much of the time being inappropriate, defensive, and manipulative. For someone who said she wasn't bothered, she was very clearly proving my point. She has no business in the field because she can't handle criticism and having her ideas challenged. I have become introverted and highly selective due to my extensive trauma history. This can have its cons, but it is not inherently bad. Dr. Hamidian didn't seem to understand that. She assumed that I am incapable of expressing my empathy when my life has been the opposite. Being a loner doesn't mean I'm incapable of expressing empathy and compassion. It is because of my empathy, trauma, and autism that attracts narcissists. Manipulative people don't antagonize other mean people. They chase after big-hearted people who stand out. More years of trauma has led to me becoming less empathic towards cruel or such ignorant like Dr. hamidian. It seems to me like Dr. Hamidian only had her self-interest in mind. She tried to lower the bar by deflecting by bringing up my work history and old misdemeanor multiple times in a manipulative way. My work history is more stable now because I'm doing what I love. I was facing so much harassment and discrimination in other workplace, especially customer service. That does not define my work ethic, but it does define my self care and self worth. As for the misdemeanor, I have already been open about how my mental health was at its lowest and no one would help me. Catering to people and people pleasing is not safe for trauma survivors. Yet here she was berating me for not caring what others think and refusing to force myself in uncomfortable situations. Dr. Hamidian displayed a lack of listening skills, highly defensive attitude , and manipulation of power. I know narcissistic traits when I see them. I have AuDHD and CPTSD -- I have heightened pattern cognition. Don't play me for an idiot. As usual, I should've listened to my gut and stayed away. That was my error. This is a review written by a high functioning neurodivergent and trauma survivor. I'm mentally ill, not incompetent or stupid. Dr. Hamidian tried to gaslight me and say that my last review was not an autistic voice. Dr. Hamidian does not me for me or anyone in the autistic community.

    Truly terrible experience. Mrs. Gowins could not handle a…read morecase, or wasn't interested in treating the patient. I was told that the patient needed "intensive psycho therapy" with NO explanation. She suggested that the patient have "intensive psycho therapy" several times a week "if I could afford it". Third appointment was cancelled by Mrs. Gowins due to "broken air conditioner". She also assumed that I could not afford her services, and offered the next appointment "free". Unfortunately she never called to reschedule that "free" appointment. I feel she ripped me off - 2 appointment at $85 each and NOTHING to show for it but some uneducated assumptions as to the mental state of the patient. Stay far away from this woman. I believe she is senile.

    I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised upon dealing with Hypnosis Horizons. Starting from the…read morebeginning, I was looking for items to do that weren't demanding on ones that are disabled. I just happened across a notice with a discounted price for the establishment. I didn't know anything about hypnosis so had no idea what to expect. My friend and I arrived at the agreed time, & I have to say it was a pleasure meeting Dawn Gowins, (hypnotist and owner). She was very professional and to my surprise she was able to help us both. I thought we would receive a scaled down version of her process because of the discount coupon..... NOT. You can tell Mrs. Gowins loves what she does and wants to make a difference with each person as they come through her door. She does not rush through any part of what she does. I waited to give a review to both fully appreciate what occurred and to see if the advice took hold with continual actions...... It has & i would recommend her to anyone ;) Thank you Mrs. Gowins for being you!
