I am deeply disappointed with the care I received here. Despite the steep cost for talking therapy with a therapist holding a PsyD qualification, the quality fell far short of expectations. The therapist’s poor interpersonal skills made the sessions uncomfortable, and I often felt disrespected and judged. Although I won’t name the professional for confidentiality reasons, I am profoundly disturbed by how they handled my treatment, especially given the serious and severe symptoms I sought help for. They failed to address my concerns, did not provide adequate support, and dismissed my comments often without offering any validation. This experience has left me feeling more destabilised and frustrated, and I deeply regret the money and time I spent. I strongly discourage others from seeking services here and urge you to critically assess the quality of care you receive to ensure it aligns with the highest standards of therapy practice.

I find center focused therapy a trusted place to improve mental health conditions. I highly recommend. I quite enjoy working with my therapist Dr. Maria Fakhouri.

The therapists at CFT have been really helpful to me with my mental health questions. They were patient, kind, thorough and welcomed all of my questions which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend CFT without a doubt to anyone looking to connect with a great therapist!

I was looking for an Indian therapist and was responded to by Kanchan Prakash. She was very respectful and responsive to my emails and after the pre counseling interview, she and I had scheduling conflicts so she told she will send me to another counselor who is indian. Sindhu singh was who was given to me. She emailed me early October and I told her of my availability. She never responded back. We contacted once more and nothing till the end of year. I contacted the organization with my complaint and they were more than happy to assist me with finding another counselor which will fit my needs and in network with my insurance, as well as talk to Ms. Singh and she apologized to me as well.
