Counseling Collaborative

History3. If we work together, I hope we can discuss your feelings about our work directly and in person. This may not always feel comfortable, but discussion of your positive and negative reactions to our work can be an important part of your therapy. If we are not a good match, I'm always happy to find you a therapist who better suits you. 4. If you do write something about my practice on Yelp, note that this is a public forum. To preserve your privacy, consider using a pseudonym that is not linked to your regular email address or social networks. 5. If you believe that I (or any licensed mental health professional) have done something harmful, consider contacting your state licensing board to make a formal complaint. This may protect other consumers of therapy services. Beware aware that details of you therapy may come up if there is a formal investigation.SpecialtiesPosting a review of my services is your right as a client and it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to write a review. But I gently discourage clients from posting reviews of my practice for the following reasons below. 1. The American Psychological Association's Ethics Code states that it is unethical for psychologists to solicit testimonials. Since you may decide to return to therapy with me at a later date, I do not request testimonials from people who have ended therapy with me. 2. Unlike other business owners who may respond to their Yelp reviews, as a psychotherapist, I must provide confidentiality to my clients. This means I am restricted from responding in any way that acknowledges whether someone has been in my care.
