Extremely unprofessional administration. I first had an intake session and that was fine. Then I had what was supposed to be the first real session with my therapist except he starts the session saying that we'll only be able to have this one session because after that he has to transfer me to another therapist. Like, why would you wait to tell me that??? We ended the session immediately as it was a waste of both of our time
The next week The session came and there was no way for me to join so I called them up and they said that there was a glitch in their system and that they had to schedule me for next week
The week after comes up and I get a reminder text the day before saying that my session is coming up and it's for this date and time. I again I'm not able to join and I called them and they tell me that I had no session scheduled. Like, I'm looking at the text message you guys sent me? When I send them a screenshot they apathetically just say it's a glitch in the system
