Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Condescending and dismissive
Telehealth
I spoke with her once and found she had no interest in helping me rather helping me see her opinion, which was clearly, that I was the issue(the main reason I came to see her was to work on an issue I had acknowledged). She had a very demeaning tone and I would not recommend her to anyone I know. PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Great, Honest, Cuts to the Chase
Seyma is a wonderful couples counselor and has been incredibly helpful to us. We appreciate her therapy style after seeing her for the past 6 months and feel we're on the right track with her.

Traumatic to say the least. When she wasn't talking about her life with me, she would be dozing off. She came off as condescending, and highly unempathetic, and even mocking at times. She also ghosted me and made no attempts to follow through after two sessions. Honestly the worst experience I've had with a therapist, and it prevented me from looking for a therapist for a long time even though I was struggling and really needed it.

I saw her once. Never again. I had a close relative with an incurable illness, and her "counseling advice" was that I could "lose" that person another way, such as the person marrying someone I did not like. She also fell asleep during the session. Yes, she fell asleep.

Seyma is a very intelligent, kind hearted therapist. She has helped me and my family build better relationships. As well as help me deal with my anger and painful past traumas. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help in their relationships or seeking to resolve unwanted patterns. She's passionate about what she does and cares deeply for her clients. I've seen her for almost 2 years, and look forward to continuing our work together.
