Unethical practices

Unethical practices

I originally posted a review for 2 stars and a few days later, the owner responded and within an hour of her response, she had (3) 5 star reviews.

My original issue was partially due to trust. I didn t trust the therapist s intentions in regards to my coparenting session; which I explained to her via email after my session. When dealing with children and separated households, it s gets very difficult and tensions are often high, however I pride myself on being able to take constructive criticism and admitting when I m wrong.

Even after sharing my primary concern, she turned right around and asked me to do the very thing I was frustrated with. It s also the one of the main things, my ex had tried to get changed. I was immediately turned off when she didn t even ask, but provided me directions to make the court order change which benefited my ex.

I would ve respected the request more, if we discussed each other s concerns and she explored ways for us to both compromise or at least ask me why I was so against the recommendation. Unfortunately neither happened during our session.

In addition, when I expressed how I felt, she totally invalidated my feelings by telling me I was wrong about how I felt.

My review is due to my personal experience and I shared my discontent both privately via email and publically. It wasn t a personal attack against her, but a professional situation in which I was unhappy about.

However, I find it morally wrong to intentionally mislead clients. Reviews are ways for clients to express their experience with a business. For this, I definitely question the credibility of this business and owner.

While others may have different experiences, this was MY experience. Hopefully this isn t the majority especially since it seems the business is trying to flood google with solicited reviews.
