Psychology Today Bewertungen 

Hello i live in Australia. I was searching for a psychologist who works with insomnia sleep anxiety . I found one who works via telehealth through psychology today. I contacted her. She replied. She does NOT live in Australia at all. In another country!!

I asked her to send me her qualifications as I am very skeptical. I also cant claim anything via .y health fund as I can't find her registered within Australia!

Has anyone heard of or actually had co sults with this lady.

Id love to hear.

I've just read an article on Pedophilia in Psychology Today and was appalled by the way the author continually insisted that it was men only thing, that there was essentially no way a woman ever would. As a man who was regularly abused by a woman from the age of 5, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that pedophilia is most defiantly prevalent among both sexes. In fact, the reason for my web search today was due to me walking in a friends' 17-year-old daughter preforming a sexual act on a 2-year-old boy. Something which she admitted to doing often. Sighting that, it was just their little secret, and that no harm was being done. Which is, as you know, the favorite line of every pedophile from around the world. "It's just our little secret"
How the editor and publishers could allow such blatant sexism is unfathomable to me.

As a therapist who uses this service... I've been repeatedly frustrated with them.

Most recently, they do not have an option for listing in multiple states. They tell me I would have to create a whole new profile for each state. I don't appreciate having to do more work and pay more money for something that should be a quick and easy technical update from there end... and will become more important as mental health becomes less restricted by state lines and more accessible.

Also, some unexpected and unclear charges have occured.

Scam, stay away! I had paid subscription of magazine for a half year, they wrote it will take 10-12 weeks for foreign subscribers, after 2 months or so I have contacted them, naturally I didn't get any response and my money went missing.

As a clinician, Psychology Today is a horrible service that borders on unethical in its business practices. They lure you in for a "free trial" listing on their therapist list, then charge you monthly for doing nothing. Then they make it very difficult to cancel your subscription.
Stay away.

Stay away. When utilizing their feedback form to report not only an abusive therapist but one who mocks child and sexual abuse shared in confidence all while physically threatening me. They told me basically its not their problem. They are completely negligent. Counselors are held to very specific standards regarding professionalism, ethics, and confidentiality. Her name is Christine Stidem in florida, Orlando specifically. RUN

I did some sessions for quite some time with a reviewed therapist on here. Her name was Martina Bador. She broke confidentiality and was very careless. Ive been extremely unwell for many years because of this. This company needs a lot of improving:(

I have had numerous Psychiatrist's over the years and first time ever, I finally found someone to actually listen to me. A huge thank you to Nicole Bush for her patience and understanding me and my situation. My anxiety levels and PTSD episodes were so out of control that I started to shut down entirely but, I found Nicole and after just 2 sessions she helped me learn the coping skills that I desperately needed to learn in order to manage my anxiety. Most definitely recommend seeing her at Norman Psychiatry. If you are weary and don't trust going to a Psychiatrist thinking it won't help you or think nobody understands what you're going through, then atleast trust the patient reviews and see for yourself. It's all there in black and white. Go see Nicole!!

Whatever you do, do NOT go to see Paul S James. I don't know who gave this guy a degree but he is absolutely a waste of money. He gives therapists a bad name and will completely ruin your confidence of reaching out to a therapist. He charges an absolute insane amount and provides no feedback will just sit there repeating everything youve said. And "hmming" as well. He lacks everything a therapist should and should surrender his license.

Had a bad experience with a therapist called Martina Bador. She was very messy and unprofessional. It had a really bad effect on my mental health and I massively regret doing therapy with her. I don't believe Psychology Today monitor there therapists properly. Would be very cautious!

I was referred to this site by my family doctor due to their health network not having mental health services. At first, I was impressed by the wide variety of therapists that accepted my insurance but unfortunately the two therapists I’ve seen from this site have been awful. The first therapist would only talk about herself and not let me get a word in about myself. The second therapist would cancel at the last minute and wouldn’t remember any information from my previous sessions. She also tried to charge my credit card 800 dollars for 3 sessions which is way more than it should have been with my insurance. I feel like these providers don’t have any sort of screening before the site allows them to advertise themselves which is very unfair to the patients looking for help.

Be careful of this company!! Did therapy with Martina Bador was horrible experience! Extremely messy would not trust this person with ur private information. Broke the rules constantly should not have a license!

Martina Bador is an abuser and a twisted individual! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

I was apprehensive about using this service and following today’s interaction, I’ve made a great decision. My gf suggested another couples counselor that would be an asset to LGBTQ+ Members. She selected a “Dr. Misbha Qureshi” because of her profile and similarities to my upbringing/religious background. I initially filled out the intake form and received a text messages encouraging me to continue the process.
A link for Yoga was attached for the time scheduled instead of the entry intake finalization interview. Once the call began I was disturbed about my time being wasted and even more frustrated having to step out of my Bar Prep Exam to sit in my car for a yoga class, I never asked for.
Fast Forward, I was asked via text to reschedule and once agreed, I spoke with the Intake Person identified as Jackie who couldn’t explain the terms and payments to OUR Insurance companies. Based on the lack of data that would have suited me and my partner I advised that I was not willing to move forward. I thought that was the end of it.
I discontinued Communication with this office and my partner and I decided to utilize another person.

Today, My partner receives a call from “Dr. Misbha Qureshi” bad mouthing me and saying I haven’t been in communication with her. Sad part is my Partner has been on speak phone on every interaction and today was no different.
Instead of avoiding the text sent previously, I advised the “Dr.” of my unprofessional interaction via text. Her response was my text are unwarranted: when she “had been seeking communication with me.” She continued sending very unprofessional text creating false narratives surrounding my career and my health. Following the request to cease contact, “Dr Qureshi” Continuing to send harassing text messages. My partner frustrated with this entire process insurance was charged fraudulently for a service never render. I forwarded the text to a few of my attorney colleagues and classmates, this individual shouldn’t be eligible to practice any therapeutic or Social services for anyone. Her behavior represents a Malignant tumor toward the practice of therapy. I would really recommend not using this individual, very unprofessional. Don’t subject your family to this business. A screen shot of the text messages were also sent to the Board of Social work, BBB, and Md Attorney General Office.

As a therapist who has used the Psychology Today directory to advertise my services, I just wanted to say how positive my experience has been. I received the most client enquiries from this site compared to others I was using, and if I had any issues with using the website I just emailed the management team and they got back to me really quickly. My clients were all happy with their treatment and I've also received word of mouth clients through satisfied clients. Would highly recommend for therapists looking to advertise in a directory!

I would not recommended Mrs Sian Dyer to anyone. Before I started therapy with her I asked would I have to cancel a session if I had trouble paying. She told me not to worry I could still do therapy session. I never signed a contract form until session 3 and never got a copy of it. At session 5 she kept yawning while I was talking and after 45 minutes the session ended but, by the time she had cancelled her other clients and waited for her husband to pick her up I could have finished the session. From session 7-9 I paid the full fee and only got 40 minutes as she never arrived until dead on 2.00pm and then spent 15 minutes making coffee but, never gave me extra the extra 15 minutes. On session 10 I had money worries and so I cancelled the session and Sian went back on her word by not letting me have the session. I only had talking therapy with her for 6 sessions and the last 3 she was doing trauma cards which never helped me at all. I only went with her for chronic daily pain therapy so doing trauma cards were of no benefit to me. I wasted 9 sessions of £55 with Sian Dyer and she made me uncomfortable as kept saying I had aspergers just because my son has it yet I haven't been diagnosed with aspergers. Sian Dyer does not do what we had agreed upon on what therapy I wanted to do. Wish I had never wasted all that money on her.

An unethnical doctor, she likes for you to come several times a week. She will take your money!! Watch out for her.

I hate this website. You do a form request nobody contacts you back. Been harassed and emotionally abused by therapists and assistants. In Between Counseling therapist hurt me so bad today. She lied about not doing consultations but I just saw her bio and it showed that she does 20 minute consultations. So angry about that She lied to me. I made a huge mistake choosing her because she spent 1/2 hour saying I shouldn't be doing online therapy, kept asking me things I didn't like, and rejecting me. It was never a therapy session. I poured my heart out and bursted into tears. I desperately need therapy and she let me down. I thought I had hope now I don't anymore. I lost everything. I want my $27.50 back. On their website shows Psychology Today verifies them. She should not be doing therapy she caused me more severe emotional pain and severe doubt. Giving me bad advice etc. I am so angry. It was so bad. Feel vulnerable and deceived etc.
angry.
