[quote=Anonymous]We went to a male therapist in North Bethesda (really South Rockville) and it was disastrous. None of 10:27’s new-fangled approaches here. Instead, every week he’d go around the room and pick a baddie-of-the-week, and then we’d discuss what that person was doing wrong. I’m not talking about the diplomatic criticism suggested here, I’m talking near-abuse from the therapist. The fact that the baddie was then-DH didn’t make it any better for me, or more helpful. Then-DH was too po’d to take any of the advice about, for example, stepping up to help me co-parent our teens. In fact, DH dug in on various things and we’re now divorced.

After I made us stop seeing this guy, I looked him up on YELP (he had been recommended to us). There were multiple reviews saying he seemed to have a personality disorder, or was very angry or manipulative, and one guy even posted that he didn’t know this therapist professionally but had had a brutal interaction with him IRL. He’s still practicing but the reviews are gone. If you step into a therapy room with Elvis paraphernalia, walk right out again.[/quote]
