Counselling

I absolutley love that this place operates on a sliding scale. Makes it affordable for myself. My counselor is so easy to talk to, shes so compassionate and kind. The atmosphere here is very peaceful and easygoing. My counselor really makes me feel as if she understands me so well. A d I love that while I'm waiting if another counselor walks by they say hello and see if I'm doing alright. The only thing I dont like so much is that they only take cash so I have to pull out mo ey every time. I wish they took debit,credit or etransfer.

I don't know that I've ever posted a negative review on Google before, and I'm sad that to feel compelled to do so now, especially with respect to a counselling office, as I am a huge proponent of therapy. I would preface by saying that my review is not of all of Cornerstone's Psychologists, and that it is focused on the specific Provisional Psychologist I met with, as well as the Administration Staff. I was assigned to a Provisional Psychologist as I was a student and this option was less expensive. Due to several recent events in my life, I was in really bad shape, and perhaps I didn't communicate clear enough to the Administration Staff just how desperate I was feeling, and that perhaps a provisional student psychologist wasn't appropriate given my circumstances. Having been diagnosed over 10 years ago as a major depressive, I have lots of experience with psychologists, so I feel as though I have adequare knowledge and experience to be able to post a fair review. I have never had such a poor session with a psychologist. Ever. This girl asked probing and painful questions, which is fair. But that was literally it - She offered no solace, support, strategies or coping mechanisms, nor did she offer any kind of plan for the future for us to conqur these issues. She asked me questions for an hour, from which I was in tears, and then sent me on my way. The largest sentence she strung together during the hour was "That must be hard for you". I honestly left much worse off than I went in. I didn't leave feeling optimistic or supported. Then perhaps a month later, I received an email asking me to review my experience and fill out a survey online, so I did. The last question of the survey was something like "Would you be willing to be contacted regarding your experience?" and I said "Yes", why not. The next day, a member of the Administration Staff called me because she said I had clicked in the survey that I wanted to be contacted, and so she was asking me what I wanted to be contacted about. I explained that no - it asked if I was willing to be contacted regarding my review. Her response was basically "Well if you don't need anything, have a nice day". It honestly made me even more angry - it was total indifference, even AFTER i had told them how terrible my experience had been. 0/5 stars.

Dawn met with my daughter on several occasions over a 6 month period about 5.5 to 6 years ago. Though many years have passed, my daughter still has extremely fond memories of dealings and interactions with her. My daughter is now 15 and still uses some of tools and strategies that Dawn taught her years ago. My opinion of Dawn (basically from the outside looking in), is that she has a real gift for working well with kids. She's gentle but firm, sweet and funny. She has an excellent approach and I'm extremely thankful for the positive impact she made in my child's life :)

A great place to get help and to gain skills to help with the family.

Linda is easily the most intuitive and insightful psychologist I've seen. She tells you what you need to hear (and probably don't even realize you need to hear) as opposed you what you want to hear. But mostly she asks the right questions to help you find the answers you need within yourself. She's also very efficient because she knows how to see past the surface of the problem to the real issue underneath the surface.

Lorna helped give my confidence in reaching my career goals. She worked with my limited budget at the time, so that I could see her and receive the solution-focused guidance that I needed. She helped me revamp my coverletter and resume. She also gave me practical and proven ways to hunt for jobs (FYI: internet searches are the least effective - if this is all you are doing to job hunt STOP and go see Lorna!) . I will be forever grateful for the advice and guidance Lorna has given me. I have referred all of my friends and family and I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommend David and Intregrated Counselling. My experiences working with him were extremely professional and positive.
