I had a wonderful appointment with Kathleen, she was very eager to listen to me and my mental health. Thank you for helping me to achieve my goals.

The best way to give you a review, is to send you the last email I sent to the therapist, Octavia Brown. Octavia, I dont think you are being honest, and I believe your below email is instead covering for the mistakes/accusations you made. I feel that after our last meeting, the only correct response from you was to apologize. There was a reason I decided to stand up and excuse myself from that meeting. I can be heard saying two times that I dont want to argue with you, but you continued until I was forced to walk out of your office. Since you decided to respond this way instead of apologizing for your behavior, I can no longer trust you. I no longer trust you because your message was not consistent between both parents, and how you responded was wrong. It is okay when mistakes happen, but for you to take no ownership, and instead blame me is wrong and shows me a lack of your integrity! I am also concerned with the fact that you got yourself so upset during our meeting, that you could not continue the appointment and see +++++. After that, do you really think it is a good idea for you to try to see +++++ again next Monday?? She was so hurt and confused as to why you would not meet with her last time. I was too! From my point of view, you and I had a disagreement, which caused you to make false accusations towards me and my ex, shut down, and not finish most of the appointment with +++++. Again, after that, do you think it is a good idea for you to see +++++ again next Monday?? There are also a handful of date-specific examples of you not following through, after one of our face-to-face meetings. For example, during our last meeting, I questioned you after noticing the message you gave to me during our in-person meeting, was a lot different than what you emailed Anne, and forwarded to me. Again, not even close. There is so much more information in the email, which was not shared in the in-person meeting. You also never mentioned having an ultimatum during the in-person meeting, but weeks later you included it in the email to +++++. My concern is instead of trying to work with me, when I brought this to your attention, your immediate response was to blame. That is not the correct coping skill to use when someone is politely questioning the difference between your two messages. I have additional past examples, but this was the worst one because you blamed me. The way you responded and acted from that point on was unprofessional. Again, this is why I excused myself from our meeting, and why I am not able to trust you. I dont work with people I dont trust. Please cancel Mondays appointment. Going forward, +++++ will be seen by a therapist who is not part of Nystroms network. Best Regards, +++++ +++++

If your children where removed from your ex, by CPS, for over a year, due to physical, mental, and sexual abuse, do not call Nystrom & Associates to help them. They cannot help your children! Again, let me be very clear, they cannot help your children. I have three daughters that were seen by four of Nystrom's "therapists". Not one good experience with any of them. In the end their inexperience is so blatantly clear, which forces you to terminate the relationship with Nystrom & Asso. The therapists will look you in your face and tell you that they have the knowledge and ability to help, but over time you start seeing that they were dishonest. They said what I wanted to hear so I signed my daughters up to see them each week, for over a year. I strong recommend that you call another therapist office. Nystrom & Associates does not have the experience or ability to help your children heal.
