Dr. Gretchen Pound, PHD

I saw Dr Pound from age 12 or so to 14 and I’m still recovering from the damage she did. I had a very abusive home life and not only did she do nothing to help me or my mental health, she was friends with my abuser (another licensed psychologist). She shared my session notes with my abuser which provided ammo against me in her daily, hours-long, verbally abusive tirades I endured. She completely destroyed any and all trust I had in both mental health professionals and adults in general. I’m now an adult myself and I am working to heal myself still while also undoing the damage she inflicted, but I’m angry still and have every right to be. I lived through it, barely and much to the disappointment of her and my abuser, and I wholeheartedly believe she should lose her license. I’ve left this review before but I see it’s been deleted. Every time I see it taken down I will put it back up. Unprofessional and unethical.

Dr. Pound saved my life! She's not going to beat around the bush. When you ask her something (mentally health related) you are going to receive a professional answer. At first she was my damage control and suicide prevention therapist. After a few months, she became my healing and education therapist. Her office feels like a sanctuary. It's always clean and cozy. The atmosphere is inviting and I always feel welcome there. Before finding Dr. Pound I regularly ended up in some sterile, lifeless, space. Those offices made me feel watched or like I'm "Patient B-391". I never get that feeling talking to Dr. Pound. She really listens. Occasionally she'll type out a quick note or tell Lilly something. Her grounding techniques are solid. Don't be afraid to tell her that it's not working for you. She is more than willing to shift gears and try a different approach. Just give it a little time and if it doesn't work, she'll find you one that does. She can't help if you don't communicate!
