Blue Leaf Mental Wellness Center's Online Review Report Card

Irene helped me through a difficult divorce after a long, difficult marriage. She helped me work through a lot of hard memories, unresolved feelings, and gave me tools to help me move onto my next chapter in life. So thankful for her.

I’ve had a great experience working with Matt Lipsen. He is professional, insightful, and has a real talent for knowing when to listen and when to gently challenge old patterns. His intuition and variety of therapeutic techniques have helped me get unstuck and see situations from new perspectives. I appreciate his thoughtful approach and the supportive environment he creates. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a skilled and effective therapist.

I had the best experience here with Stephanie Womack. I had never done EMDR before working with her at Blue Leaf and I’m extremely glad I did it. Working with her truly transformed my way of thinking, and helped me out of a really dark place. EMDR also helped me work through a lot of my traumas, some of which I didn’t even know were affecting me in my day to day life. I highly recommend working with any of the therapists at Blue Leaf, but especially Stephanie as she is who I have experience with. Unfortunately I moved out of state, otherwise I absolutely would have stayed working with her!

The only way to communicate if you’re not an established client is through email. The back and forth communication for a few months of trying was frustrating, lagging and incompetent and now it’s going into the 3rd month. It’s ok! Found a few different providers who are professional, caring, efficient and timely!!

Leaving this review related solely to scheduling as I could not get past that point. Alysha was incredible difficult to communicate with and it took several emails just to get the basics covered. Then I was ghosted. I reached back out to be told they tried to call me twice but my voicemail was full and that they had responded to my most recent email. I had not so much as a missed call from anyone and my voicemail has never been full in my life. I searched through every folder on my email and was not able to find any email response. Then I got a call (magically, THIS call went through) just for her to ask me -- for the third or fourth time-- what my availability was. I would strongly recommend an office person with more effective and efficient communication skills. I was recommended to this place by a friend and I am highly disappointed in whatever "process" this was. Because she was so difficult to work with, I will be finding a provider elsewhere.

Definitely improved my life for the better. Highly recommend.

I wanted to leave this review because I know some of you reading this are looking for the right therapist for you. I hope my story will help you but I had never seen a therapist in my life till one day trauma and grievance happened to me and with an open mind I decided to get help which I'm so happy I did because I didn't know what to think but to try it out. I was a patient with Irene for over a year for therapy. Through all the months of getting help, I found closure and feel a lot better. Irene is genuine and very good at her job. I can see how passionate she is in her field. I've learned about myself a lot and how to cope with things. One of the best things ever in my life was seeing therapy even though I was unsure what to think. I encourage you all with an open mind and make an appointment here. Irene will always be one of the most important influences in my life and will always appreciate all the help she's done for me through my journey. Thank you Irene very much and I will never forget you. I will definitely come back here if I ever need help again. So don't hesitate and schedule an appointment with an open mind.

First and only experience with mental health services, but this was a really good one. I began talk therapy with one of the providers for a traumatic event. She suggested we try EMDR which is a very interesting type of therapy I had no idea existed. It took 6 sessions of that but my ptsd symptoms basically vanished. I stuck around with the same provider for continuing talk therapy for over a year for help with many tings in life. They were very helpful. Logistically, my therapist has been very flexible when it coems to canceling a week here and there, rescheduilg to a different day when something comes up, etc. I even took a 5 month break, until I wanted to restart. She was able to get me to the front of her wait list and we restarted regular sessions within a few weeks. I had a very positive experience here. (All virtual sessions save the EMDR)

Never had a better experience with a mental health provider.

I went to Blue Leaf and couldn't be happier or prouder of myself for getting help and for following through. I highly recommend blue Leaf to everyone I know.
