Review №1

When I first got to creative counseling I was in one of the lowest places in my life. I was depressed, suicidal, and in the midst of a horrible addiction to alcohol and other things. With Stephanie’s help I was able to finally start fighting those demons that were at the root of everything. We began meeting multiple times a week and she was super supportive and helpful and helped me get into rehab and actually want my sobriety. Without her help and intervention I honestly don’t know if I’d be alive today. Thanks to her support and kindness I have almost two years sober. I would 100% recommend her and all of her colleagues. They truly care about helping people.

I have been coming here for the last year and have grown and learned so much about myself. I think this is a great place to start your journey of healing and self-discovery.

I have only had a handful of sessions but I am not displeased. I receive a text reminder before my appointment. I get a lot of helpful feedback from my sessions. I wouldnt base your opinion on the negative nancys.

This place is horrible! I wish I could give it a 0 star rating because even 1 is too good for the service I got :( I was given this place as a referral when I moved to the area, and it was nothing but trouble. For one thing, the counselor was so impersonal! The first day we spent the entire time going through a checklist of questions. No discussion, just questions like medical history, etc that I could easily have filled out on a form much faster. Then the next week when the actual therapy was supposed to start, the lady barely talked to me! She would ask one question, Id give an answer, and then shed just nod and stare at me until I got nervous enough to ask a question of my own, which she ignored! I figured Id give her a couple more chances - new relationships take time to build - but over the next month nothing improved. She never gave any suggestions or gave me any feedback, just wrote down what I was saying and moved on. I might as well have been talking to a brick wall! The final straw was when I accidentally missed an appointment. I didnt even realize Id missed it until several hours after the fact, but then I was just mad because they never called or emailed or anything to see what was up. I decided to wait and see what theyd do and 6 months later Im still waiting! So, long story short, only use this place if you want to be ignored, treated like youre an annoyance for being there, and then abandoned with no follow-up :(
