I beg you, PLEASE read the reviews before considering this therapist. My sentiments are eerily similar to some others. Throughout our sessions, it became abundantly clear that he was not only disinterested but also displayed a complete lack of professionalism.

First and foremost, one of the most glaring issues was their constant tendency to fall asleep during our appointments. Can you imagine pouring out your thoughts and emotions, seeking guidance and support, only to find your therapist dozing off in front of you? It made me question whether they genuinely cared about my well-being or if I was merely another appointment to check off their list. It's unacceptable for a professional in the mental health field to display such a lack of engagement and interest. Basic information that I had shared with them previously, such as my family background and past experiences, was forgotten, leading to them asking the same questions over and over again.

The last straw was when he charged me $140 for a no-call-no show for an appointment, when in fact, I cancelled the appointment 3 days prior, showed proof, but he refused to give me my money back.

He uses an automated system to confirm appointments and 3 days before any appointment, the number texts you, "reply 1 to confirm or 2 to cancel" and if you do not respond to that text, the same number calls you a few hours later saying "please press 1 to confirm or 2 to cancel". I picked up the call and canceled the appointment, in that way. When I told Mac, I cancelled the appointment, and showed him a screenshot of that number calling me and me speaking to it for 30s, he legit denied it and acted like the only way to cancel an appointment is through text.

Mac is a great guy and an excellent therapist/counselor. He helped me through some very difficult times in my life. He was compassionate, but also held me accountable to myself. Mac also has a wealth of knowledge to share and education is a big component of his process. He met me where I was as far as knowledge and skill level and shared both theoretical as well as practical information and tools that helped me navigate the rapids. Some of the issues Mac helped me work through included: the end of my unhealthy marriage and ultimate divorce, working with loved ones with serious mental health issues, and recognizing and addressing some of my own codependence issues. He has been nothing but professional and courteous. He is highly educated and has been doing this for a long time. I can't imagine that whoever left the negative review was dealing with the same guy. I have worked with Mac for a good amount of time and that just isn't him. Sometimes haters gonna hate. I do not know how I could have gotten through what I did without his help, caring, insights, and support. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to friends in need. More...
