I can't believe I am logging in again to point this out, but I am concerned about people who may rely on these inflated reviews. Please note that if you look at these 5-star reviewers, they were all from the same person prior to my pointing it out (years ago). Once I made that comment, new accounts appeared to make 5-star reviews (all within a few weeks of each other), but if you look at the only ones who have reviewed sites other than this one (i.e. Doug C. and Anthony S.), it appears that they have coincidentally reviewed all of the same OTHER sites too. The so-called "physician" review which has been posted around the web does not even attempt to disguise Agnes's writing style or self-promotional tactics. I have heard all of those claims directly from her own mouth. (And even if you assume I am mistaken about her writing it, does a person needing to be in therapy for "10 years" in a group with "minimal turnover" - thus reflecting very few people feeling equipped to manage their lives WITHOUT therapy - speak to a healthy, successful therapy experience? Agnes bragged about having "patients" for 30 years or longer. That strikes me as a major red flag in and of itself.)
Bottom line: Any therapist who would spend time falsifying reviews about herself is not one you want delving into your psyche. Dismiss my review too, if you wish, as my experience with these therapists was nothing short of destructive, but please be very cautious in relying on the others without doing your own investigation. I hope that my giving voice to these therapist tactics saves at least one person from experiencing harm at their hands.
