1/5
I had to find a new therapist when mine went to a new practice and my insurance no longer covered her and I couldn’t afford self pay. I followed recommended online reviews and gave Couch Counseling a try. My red flags and discernment went off from the second I sat down on her couch. She spent 25 minutes trying to “figure out her MacBook password so she could log into her computer.” She asked me if I knew how to change an Apple password. She asked me 30 minutes in what my name was. She was all over the place and very fidgety. I felt like she wasn’t listening to understand, only to respond and her responses seemed to be disingenuous and cookie cutter. She answered a personal phone call during session (I don’t normally mind this), however with the climate of how things were already going, it was just an added face palm for me. I felt like I was her last session of the day and she was over it. I get it, I do, but it just didn’t sit well with me. I called a friend of mine after to tell her my experience and she told me she wish she would have known it was her because in her profession, she sees Edith a lot and her experiences weren’t positive either. Maybe it was a fluke or an off day, but all the red flags coupled with a trusted friend’s professional and personal opinion on her not being good, it was just overall not a great experience for me. I won’t be back.
