When I was able to get through to them the lady on the other end of the phone was not customer focused. I would hope for compassion at a counseling center, but I would have taken at least a customer focus. She came across as bothered by my call. She was rude in her tone when she said they are not accepting new patients. I have some time to continue looking for services, but if I was not in that place and really needed some help and answers, that may have been more than I could handle. Please remember who you're services. If someone takes the step to call, be kind. Its not that hard. Its so unfortunate that this was her response.

My ex-wife and I began couples counseling with Heather Longoria with Coastal Virginia Counseling at…read moreVA Beach. After 4 teleconference sessions Heather stopped responding to emails and phone calls. Several times across multiple weeks and months we tried reaching out to Heather and to Coastal Virginia Counseling with no response. I even had my personal therapist attempt to reach out professionally and no response was received. A professional therapist ghosting clients in need is one of the most unprofessional things I have ever seen in therapy. Other people have posted positive reviews for this agency so I have to imagine other therapists are more professional but I would strongly advise doing your homework on your potential therapist before accepting therapists with this organization before you place your hopes in receiving therapy.

I am not afraid to write a recommendation for my therapist. Victoria is that wonderful. I am/have…read morebeen facing some major relationship issues and she has helped me to take action to find solutions to fix, or at least alleviate, these issues. She is also helping me by empowering to make changes in my career path that I have been avoiding for a very long time. It is super private and there are no signs or that feeling of "Hey! Look at me walking into my therapist's office". Her sessions are very easy and comfortable, like you're having coffee with a friend and I love her office. It feels great to have her in my corner and have her give me tools to actually make progress in my life.

I was struck by the number of referrals from past clients and positive things current clients shared with me about their experiences with Dr. Victoria Holroyd and the clinicians at TRCHR. They are highly trained experts and many people called for help after having had negative couples therapy experiences elsewhere. The clinicians here are VERY SKILLED, kind, professional, personable and really care about their clients. They have also been very accommodating and flexible with their appointments. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Absolutely! Absolutely! Crystal Jones is a Family Nurse Practitioner, but found her passion in…read morepsychiatry around 2016. She treats her patients like family and not as numbers. If anyone speaks negatively about her, best believe she ran a long run, because she will literally help anyone she can for as long as she can. Yes, she does work diligently to stay on time, but no matter how much I want her to speed up, I've learned that when she is running over with a patient, she is being a blessing to them behind those doors- whether on the computer, in-person or on the phone. I've never met anyone like her... she is 1 in a million. I mean, what provider have you ever been to and heard them through the walls singing to the patient... it can be anything from Happy Birthday, Break Every Chain, Don't Faint or I told the storm!!! If they need a prayer or a song to be lifted or feel better (at their request) she's singing and praying or BOTH to them. It is very rare that someone walks out of HER office and not know they were just in the presence of an angel. If she can make one person's low day turn to a brighter day, she is going to give it her all. She's a very rare find & definitely a masterpiece! If you've ever been graced with her presence, you know that you've finally found home. If I can think of anything else, I'll post that as well!! She deserves her flowers now! Simply amazing!

She truly cares about each and every one of her clients and it shows. I appreciate that Life Compass is women-owned and LGBTQIA+ friendly. Tami has helped me through my transition and works well with other health providers. I can't recommend her enough. I know that the business is expanding and she has welcomed new practitioners. As someone who works in mental health, it is great to see the field expanding and I look forward to see what's next. Bottom line, Tami and Life Compass has saved my life. I would not be where I am today with her guidance and expertise. Tami is truly is meant to be a mental health provider and I know she will continue to impact many lives.

Tami is not only an amazing therapist but also a wonderful person. I have been seeing her for years…read moreand she has gone above and beyond what I could of ever hoped for or expected. Tami has a natural ability to be empathetic to you while also being able to steer you into a different prospective and solution. Sometimes I just need to talk and be heard and other times I need direction and she always seems to know which one I'm needing. I believe that this flexibility allows me to feel like I'm being guided through the process by a loving, caring human being. I feel that this approach helps in her ability to develop deep trust and provide hope. Tami is a very conscious, intelligent and positive and the reason she appeals to me is her ability to discern a persons specific needs in order to move forward with their life in many ways. I highly recommend Tami, she will make a positive impact and guide your therapy plan in the right direction.

Updating my review to respond to the owner since I wasn't clear enough before…read more Number 1: I didn't get a prescription from TWO DIFFERENT PROVIDERS. I got prescription #1 for my anxiety and prescription #2 for ADHD. BOTH were always prescribed by the SAME doctor for years. It wasn't until Dr. Denise came to the practice that I started having problems getting refills on medication I've been getting prescribed for YEARS. SHE was the one who advised me to get my anxiety medication from another doctor because she would not refill it for me. It has been months since I've had a refill. She DID NOT disclose to me that if I get my ANXIETY medication (prescription #1) from another provider (because she refused to refill it) that she would also refuse to refill prescription #2 for my ADHD. These are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT medications. I was not trying to get "extra" or cheat the system, I ran out of my anxiety meds and needed a refill. My last refill was back in MARCH and I was only prescribed 10 pills. Dr. Denise refused to refill my prescription for some reason but advised me to get it from another provider, which I did. I was simply following the advice that Dr. Denise gave me to get my regular meds that I've been taking for years. After following her advice to get prescription #1 (anxiety meds) elsewhere, she later on refused to refill prescription #2 (adhd meds). I have been going to this practice for a few years and have loved it here when Dr. Charlene Bell was still working here. Dr. Bell was attentive, caring and actually LISTENED to patients instead of coldly rushing them off calls after not listening or helping them at all like Dr. Denise Olutoyin Akinyanju. During an appointment with Dr. Denise, I was advised to seek my anxiety prescription refill from another provider. What was not disclosed to me (and should have been) was that doing so would result in my ADHD prescription being denied. I only learned this AFTER I needed a refill on my ADHD medication, at which point I was abruptly told to get all my prescriptions elsewhere. Had I been given that information UPFRONT, I would have just gotten both from that other doctor right then and there. Now I have to schedule ANOTHER appointment with that doctor and miss more time at work. This lack of communication disrupted my treatment yet again, since this happens often with Dr. Denise, and felt very unprofessional. The lack of clear communication, paired with what appears to be punitive action taken after I followed her guidance, has significantly impacted my care. I believe this conduct was unethical, possibly retaliatory, and clearly not in line with patient-centered practice. Additionally, this is not the first time I have experienced undue difficulty receiving long-standing, necessary prescriptions from Ms. Akinyanju, despite a stable history with these medications. I previously reached out to a higher-level manager at the practice about similar concerns and received no response. By the looks of other reviews of this practice, echoing the same treatment by the SAME provider, this is clearly not a one-off situation for this provider. I have been a patient for years with no issues but now I've since decided to file a formal complaint with the Virginia Board of Medicine and have discontinue my care at this practice. If you're considering care here, especially for long-term medication management, I would recommend giving that a second thought.

I've been in therapy for many years and have had disappointments before and had some good ones as…read morewell. So was excited to give cognitive therapy a second chance and looked into bio s and was interested in dr Jones as she seemed the better persons for my needs. I have never in my 40 years have had a dr with such poor ethics, lack of communication skills and basically seemed to give up before I spoke. I saw her 2 times and because of all the bugs and the fact that people can potentially see your sessions ,it was already frustrating. But the man reason I am writing this is strictly to warn people before booking with Owner or dr Jones. She seems more concerned about herself then her patience that need her. She wanted me to book 2 more sessions so I thought things were going well Despite the underlining feeling something strange. So I called to talked to her because I needed help currently, not wasting a month on this lady. So when I expressed to the front desk that I need to know if she was gonna see from now on or not, not only she wouldn't see me but she had the front desk tell me and not herself AND I have 0 clue as to why cause she didn't tell me or call me. She knew were I was mentally and this women is down right cruel and would have been a better doctor if she studied ethics instead of psychology. She might actually be capable of Being helpful for people as opposed to putting a person trying so hard to survive and basically Destroy a good person trying to get help. I'm not going back to any therapist because of this woman ,cause this is my last ditch effort and she literally gave me no hope please think twice about seeing her or Dr. Mulligan he was even worse than her. This place makes social works look like rocket scientist.

My adult son who suffers for PTSD, anxiety and depression saw Dr. Mulligan a few years back. Dr…read moreMulligan said he would only see him if he did not become suicidal. Well of course his depression often made him want to die but he never acted on it. He never felt he could discuss this with him so eventually he left therapy. Recently he went to see Hannah Whitney Jones. After each season she would say we will try one more time but I don't think I can help you. Well rejection is a very big trigger for him. He took it as he was not treatable. It really did some damage. She offered to refer him to someone else but after these two experiences he said he's done with therapy. Thanks Mental Health Experts! So if you have any kind of deep issues I wouldn't see either of them
