This place is very disappointing; I really wanted help and was committed to attending, listening and being engaged...and all I got were councellors that brought their own biases and were using this place as a way to make themselves feel better by dispensing their personal opinions and acting like clients should be grateful for their services/time...even when you're paying full-on counselling service rates.
As an example, since when is it appropriate for a counsellor to tell a male parent that he 'has no rights in saying what his child can do...that is up to the mother'???
Another example: called after a number of delays/misstarts and then when conversing with counsellor that was assigned and when I was attempting to determine 'fit' i.e. are you familiar/equipped to help me...I got told that my needs were 'perfect world' ; there didnt seem to be a fit and confirmed it when the councillor admitted 'I haven't even looked at your intake file yet'...so what, you're going to assign someone who specializes in addiction when I need help with my Autistic kids?!?
Really hoped that this was a place for clients to heal and build up our community; instead it's one-size-fits-nearly-no-one situation. Our community really needs a better service than this.
BTW- I don't need your generic 'communications' email address so that I can feel heard so please dont respond to my review with it; you've got some significant issues to fix and you need to start examination amongst your organization...not head-patting your clients.
