Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Chris played a crucial role in saving my sons life. He was the only one that really understood my son and he was so easy to relate to. He is so genuine and shares his own experiences, which is a huge help. I am eternally grateful for him.

I can not say enough good things about Chris. I have been seeing him for a few years now and he has helped me tremendously. I have learned so much about the disease of addiction. I have been clean and sober for a few years now and he definitely plays a HUGE part in that! He is so compassionate, kind and understanding. I have had many therapists over the years and no one compares to him!

One of the signs you have a bad therapist is that they encourage you to blame someone else for bad decisions made in your life. Therapy is supposed to empower you to take responsibility and live a better life. Chris does not emulate that position. He encourages blaming parents or others in your life instead of looking at ones own choices as reasons for addiction and antisocial behavior. For this reason I cannot recommend him as a therapist.
