Although I enjoyed my few visits with the therapist they paired me with, I did not feel that any of my visits met the description above. I am most disappointed that this practice double dipped. I was required to pay out of pocket and according to my insurance they also took payment from them. This practice continually has told me they didn't receive any payment from my insurance, even though I can see the paid and submitted claim from my insurance; who also confirmed that they paid them.

However, the quality of service was highly disappointing. To keep it as brief as possible, I was never told how much things would actually be until my card was charged (more than expected), statements were made from employees that gave it a judgmental vibe, the therapist blatantly gave the impression she had better things to be doing, and when I cancelled my next appointment, instead of inquiring the reasons I decided not to continue, the receptionist was rude about it. I believe the employees may be great individuals *outside* of work, but this place needs to re-evaluate how they interact with their patients. My advice, SEEK HELP ELSEWHERE.

This program gave us the opportunity to move our marriage relationship beyond what we ever…read moreperceived it could be. The methods they use were difficult for us at first, but pushing through them has brought major improvement to every area of our relationship. Within 36 hours we began to experience the collapse of the wall we had built up between us over years and years of poor communication, selfishness and hurt. Our marriage is still getting better because of the changes we have made. This program taught us how to communicate without strife. This is key to rebuilding a struggling relationship. We also appreciated that it was peer based. Everyone that is involved in the program has been through the program so they know what they're talking about, and they care! We've noticed the rest of the relationship world is now catching up by recently making use of some of the methods that Retrouvaille has been using for decades to turn around failing marriages. That's a good testimony to this program. (If addictive behaviors are part of the issue, we suggest also using a Celebrate Recovery type program. The best one we have found is Setting Captives Free which is free and available online.)

This program can be life-changing for a troubled marriage. Since there's currently few local…read morereviews, seek out reviews of Retrouvaille in other cities; it's a standard curriculum worldwide. Those reviews will be relevant. My wife and I had marital problems spanning years. We'd visited several one-on-one marriage counselors for months at a time with little benefit. I found "Retrouvaille" on Yelp (the unusual French name is pronounced RET-rove-eye) We're in a MUCH better place than several months ago. Bear with my detailed review below - there's a lot to describe. First, this program is a Catholic-based ministry but DON'T LET THAT DISSUADE YOU if you're not Catholic. Couples of all faiths are welcome. I was raised Jewish and am an atheist now; my wife is a non-practicing Lutheran. We'd absolutely go through the program again. Maybe 10 percent of the overall time and content has a Catholic slant to it, but it really isn't overbearing and there's minimal focus specifically on Jesus or Catholic doctrine, just general spirituality and occasional references to God. Tune out what doesn't jibe with your belief system. 90 percent of the program is non-religious instruction on building the tools you need to save your marriage. They offer Catholic mass outside of the core hours of the program if that's your thing. All couples were heterosexual; I'm not sure if gay marriages would be welcomed in a Catholic program. It's VERY different than seeing a counselor - it's NOT counseling, group therapy, or other treatments. The non-profit program started in Quebec in the 1970s (hence the French name which means rediscovery). It's been so successful there are Retrouvaille programs worldwide. The website https://retrouvaille.org/ offers a lot more information. The first phase of the program is what they call "The Weekend." You spend an entire weekend from Friday night through late Sunday afternoon at a local hotel. (Our weekend was held at a nice Hampton Inn in Oldsmar). Besides the room, all meals are covered. You MUST stay continuously through the entire weekend - it's an intensive process. You need to make arrangements for childcare, etc. The program heavily subsidizes the cost of the weekend - considering two nights hotel and all meals and the program materials were covered, it was quite affordable for what we got from it. They don't want cost to prevent couples from entering the program. Several couples were from out of town - some came from as far away as Orlando and New Orleans. If you can't find a local Retrouvaille weekend coming up soon enough and need help NOW, consider going out of town! During our very intensive "Weekend" in August 2017, we heard other volunteer couples that completed the program lecture about their own struggles and how they were working at overcoming them. The commitment of these volunteers to help others is inspiring; one couple began to "restore" their marriage 30 years ago and still actively provides lectures. (They say that their own marriage grows from administering the program). You'll learn techniques for communicating your feelings both in writing and verbally called "dialogue". You'll learn that feelings are neither good nor bad, they just are there. The unique thing about "The Weekend" - you attend lectures in a large room (we had 35 couples in our weekend at the hotel), but break from the larger group numerous times and GO UP TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM for personal exercises in dialogue. You DON'T spill your guts about your private problems to a bunch of strangers. The use of a hotel to facilitate private discussions in hotel rooms is innovative and worked well. My wife and I turned a corner during "The Weekend". By Sunday, we communicated much better with each other than we had in years. It felt like there was hope that we could reconcile things further. We celebrated our 20th anniversary a couple weeks after "The Weekend" and it was wonderful to see things were on the right track. THE WEEKEND'S JUST THE BEGINNING though. There are eight consecutive weeks of "Post Sessions" (included with your fee) that take place in Tampa on Sunday afternoons for about 4-1/2 hours each. (Out of towners during "The Weekend" can go to a local chapter for the Post Sessions). These are IMPORTANT; hopefully you've seen the program's value and commit to this additional investment in your marriage. At the Post Sessions, you get a thick workbook and learn a LOT about other issues that contribute to marital problems - conflict resolution, personality types, communication techniques, how your family history affects your relationship, etc. This is where the REAL work happens. We completed the entire Post program and attended every session. You can always go back in the future if you think it will help you. Retrouvaille is committed to your marriage for life. Good luck in saving your marriage and I'm so thankful I discovered Retrouvaille!

As a parent would you take your child to a dermatologist if they broke their arm?

You can check for yourself on her website. Her Curriculum Vitae doesn't state anything about a VERY Specialized field of psychological training. The pathology of parental alienation is extremely specialized. She misdiagnosed the very "BASIC SIGNS, SYMPTOMS AND BEHAVIORS!" My children spiraled out of control in her care. She couldn't see the psychological phenomenon called "induced psychological splitting" in alienated children. One of the basic symptoms and one that a trained professional would have picked up immediately. She couldn't see the trauma, mental, emotional and physical damage being done. WOW!!

She was handed our family law case on a silver platter and did not include or even research any of the documentation provided to her. She relied only on her own questionnaire and an erroneous personality test. She did not consider any facts in the case. We even included false allegations of molestation made by the mother to cps and even that was not considered. The custody evaluator assigned by the state and used previously did a phenomenal and thorough job, far better than Dr. Mockler. Almost five years after beginning our case, it had to be settled because we could not afford to fight anymore for our child. Dr. Mockler's report was insufficient and did not provide help or a solution to the case at all. Our child was promptly pulled entirely from the school system by his mother in the eighth grade, and just after settling, and has not been back to school since. The intention was for our part of the family to have all access to his schooling cut off. He should be a senior this year. He was placed under the guise of "Florida Unschoolers" and was given no formal education, even by the mother, and will not receive a diploma. For a number of years, our child told us his biggest regret was telling Mockler the things his mother forced him to say. He cried about being suicidal and depressed. He also told us that it was easier for him to just give her what she wanted than to receive her disappointment and rejection of him. Last year, his mother convinced him to cut off all contact with him and us with no explanation. She blocked us, refused my texts and his siblings texts, and has allowed zero communication nor disclosed any medical or education info for him. This year, she is attempting to change his last name to remove all ties with our family and and his siblings and is moving him to an undisclosed state where she has stated that "we will never find him again". We have five other children. All who miss their brother. All who are very healthy children and attest to life at our home. He has a father, a step mother, and brothers and sisters who desperately miss him. Dr. Mockler's insufficient and terrible job has destroyed that once little boy and our family. She was there to be an advocate for him. She was trained to see the signs of alienation and emotional abuse and she failed him and my other children. If you know what's good for you, run the other way. Find an advocate for your child that cares about their well being, rather than just collecting more money.
