While writing a review for mental health services is a person's right, we kindly discourage this practice based on the American Counseling Code of Ethics: soliciting client testimonials is not appropriate as " counselors who use testimonials do not solicit them for current clients, former clients, or any other persons who may be vulnerable to influence (ACA Code Of Ethics, C..3b,2014). At our company we provide the highest confidentiality to our clients and are restricted from acknowledging whether someone has been in our care, unlike other businesses not under this obligation. We also will not respond to false or positive reviews to whom clients may or may not have utilized our services or "brigade" with reviews from multiple sources. We encourage potential clients to do their due diligence in seeking mental health care and get their referrals from a trusted referral source versus online reviews which may or may not be valid.

I would not recommend Bernadette to quite literally anybody. She had been my counselor for many sessions and used those sessions against me to breach confidentiality based off her own belief system and got my life in a great deal of a mess for no reason besides her own. I would not trust her with any real information, which is what you express in therapy. Besides this, she did nothing through our sessions besides push back needed treatment and keep charging. She dropped me as a client once she breached confidentiality during one of the hardest times in my life, leaving me with no therapist and nowhere to turn to. I had left a previous counselor I was able to get treatment from for free to see Bernadette and I am nothing but completely dissatisfied and disgusted by the way she conducts her services. Would give 0 stars if I could.

By far the worst therapist Ive ever seen. Made me feel unseen, uncomfortable and taken advantage of because she never did any of the treatments we talked about. Seemed like she just wanted money. Wouldnt recommend to anyone who wants to truly confront their issues and heal.
