Review of Maria Droste Counseling Center

I was a new client/patient this recent past month....

I was a new client/patient this recent past month. I Had a really traumatic experience with one of their therapists (hazel melmed) here and was basically told what happened to me with my trauma I could have avoided and the therapist continued to victim blamed me. The therapist has over 20 years of experience apparently...ha....The conversation that happened probably should have made this therapist lose their license and the fact that they specialized in trauma is the worst part. This therapist also made heteronormative and cisgender assumptions of me and my relationship, when I had already said I was in a non hetero relationship and my partner is not cis gender. The therapist continued to misgender my partner.
On my behalf for the past two weeks my partner has been trying to get a hold of someone at the facilities management to tell them what happened but no one ever called back. This place has always been hard to get in contact with..
However if you have a history with trauma I d highly warn you to go somewhere else for the sake of you re own mental health and safety.
