I'm also a mental health therapist
I'm also a mental health therapist. I say stay as far away as possible!!! My therapist never called me by my name. Really, don't you care who I am? I spoke about why I wanted counseling. Never once did she validate my concerns. I felt like I was talking to a blank wall. When I said I wasn't motivated to do ongoing training in my profession, her only suggestion was that I do more training in trauma therapy. She did this even though I told her I have extensive training in that area. It was the worst therapist I've ever met with. In fact I'm filling a complaint with the licensing board. Stay away!!! Oh, I have to add one of the major reasons I signed up for the service was to get medication for anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD. i also have extreme insomnia. I stated all of this when I completed the forms requesting therapy and psychological services. The NP told me she could not give me non-narcotic medications to treat any of this. Trying to get a "controlled substance" for diagnosable and chronic mental health issues in this day and age of "we can't prescribe that" is a total nightmare. If a qualified shrink can't prescribe that, I have to know who can? I thought that was a major purpose for seeing a shrink for a verifiable diagnosis. I don't know where to go from here. I can't imagine I'm the only one who is searching for answers.
