I had a really bad experience with one of the owners here, Bethanne Kinmonth. I sought counseling from her after a really painful event in my life. While I’m sure she had good intentions, in multiple sessions she generally came across as self-absorbed, dismissive, and overly emotionally affected by the issues I was sharing—at one point she was the one upset and I apologized for my issues. She would routinely interrupt me and I often had to remind her of things I talked about it previous sessions. She definitely did not seem like a “psychotherapist with advanced training in the impact and healing of trauma,” as her website advertises (and as was the reason I’d contacted her). The whole experience was really disorienting and left me confused.

I’ve thought hard about sharing this personal, subjective experience so publicly but I’d hate for someone to approach Bethanne in serious need and receive similar treatment. This place has a hipster name and branding with effective marketing but offers zero substance or authenticity. I would dissuade anyone from coming here.
