Review for Wayne Counseling Center Inc, Wayne, NJ, USA

Rating: 3 stars  

I had a good experience here for the most part. Most of the therapists were nice and I felt supported. There was this one therapist that was blunt and insinuated I was too old to get important therapy. I felt worse than when I went there.
When I went there I made some mistakes on the intake form and I acknowledged it . She started out by saying I should be honest without even getting to know me.
She paternalized me as though I'm less capable of knowing and taking care of myself . When I talked about my experiences she took it and personalized it. I never know this person to disrespect her . I also thought therapists should be aware of their own biases.
She made me feel everything I said was false or made up . I felt let down because people took a chance to be vulnerable in a private setting; it is not the same as slandering. She inferred I should have friends and inferred I have baggage then she remarked " friends don't like baggage either".
Immigrants are often intelligent too and its likely they know what they are talking about.
Life is not suppose to be linear as what you may think. It is your narrow perception on what things should be rather than listening to other people's perspective as a good therapist.
I also have to talk about my positive experience because I had a better connection with the other therapists ; my last therapist was able to ask me the right question to help me realize I had dyslexia.
They helped me resolve some of the reasons why I struggled growing up
Secondly people at the front desk are always closing their window on me after two years going there. Like I am less than when I feel like a regular person.
