- I’ll amend this review if she corrects her actions with a termination session i was denied but for now i must provide an accurate review for the safety of others. Judy does have good creative ideas for navigating lifes struggles but in many other ways she was manipulative, created a hostile environment, and worsened my anxiety. We both agreed i needed to work on certain behaviors and thru certain feelings/past traumatic events but she refused to work thru those issues with me saying i should simply “get over it.” I eventually became so anxious for our sessions and she worsened this by suddenly insisting our sessions be all virtual, something that historically triggered anxiety attacks and that i advocated for myself would not work on a regular basis. I became so agitated by her refusal to work with me on the issues we agreed i needed to work, that coupled with her insistence on virtual sessions greatly increased my anxiety, triggering self-harm urges. I got agitated in a couple sessions over these issues, removed myself from the situation by going to the bathroom and washing my face, a positive coping skill, but was accused of getting “aggressive” which is a complete lie. We both agree we needed to part ways but healthy goodbyes/healthy closure is important to me and she knew this. I agreed to a virtual termination session, despite not being comfortable with virtual sessions, something i consistently advocated for myself about, but was willing to compromise on. She then suddenly cancelled our termination session a week or so prior to when it was to take place, calling me at 8:30 in the morning, before i had taken my meds to inform me of this. I became very agitated over this news, and it was hard to process everything that was occuring over the phone in such a short time frame, especially with severe adhd. Furthermore, an 8:30 in the morning conversation, that she now deems was a proper termination session, offered no privacy. In addition to not being able to prepare myself for such a conversatjon or have time to appropriately process what was occuring, the lack of privacy led to my 11 year old son overhearing our entire 19 minute phone call, in which i became understandably agitated during. It was a traumatic experience for him that never should have happened and would have been avoided if she provided me with the properly scheduled termination session i deserved and needed where i could plan ahead of time and find a secure place to be for such a session. I just want a healthy termination session in which i garner valuable feedback and positive closure but i am being denied this and she has consistently gone against her own practice policies that i signed and we agreed to. Furthermore she will not provide me with my requested phi, will not provide me with a written termination letter as i have requested, and refuses to answer important questions i have regarding all that occurred. This has worsened my anxiety, affecting my home and work environment causing me to have to take time off work for iop services, something that would have been avoided with at the minimum a proper 1 hour termination session. Im a meek and kind hearted individual and the hostile enivronment she herself 1st created was unneeded and then the following refusal to provide a termination session was plain out unprofessional and negligent of her. I have written simpler reviews on other sites but she keeps getting them deleted by deleting her profile, recreating new ones but then suddenly the option to give reviews have disappeared. This is very suspicious and makes me wonder how many other people she has done this to (having their reviews deleted). If she can practice some vinerability and humility and provide me with the healthy closure i need via a calm virtual termination session i’ll amend/delete my review on my own, but until that happens i will go thru the lengths i need to, to get this info out there so that others do not have to experience what i experienced. No one deserves to be treated the way ive been treated. Ive been thru enough already, i’m hard on myself already, i didn’t need to be treated like this by the very person i trusted to help me.
