I'm not really sure what the person who wanted to give Dr. Dousette negative stars was talking about. I go to a therapist because they are supposed to tell me what I am doing wrong in my life and why some of the crazy stuff I think about is actually not as important as I let myself think. This is why I go to Dr. Dousette and every time I would like to think I'm right, she tells me why what I am thinking and doing is causing me so much pain. If I wanted someone to tell me everything I thought and did was alright, I wouldn't need a therapist. She has never let me down and keeps me going in the right direction, even when I'm being stubborn and self-righteous. I would recommend her highly because I find her consistently professional and she always makes sure to help you understand why what you're doing is destructive and then is caring enough to help you find a better way to live. That's why she is amazing!

Dr Mary Dousette is clearly coming from a good place. She is compassionate and caring. However, there are some down sides to seeing her. She does not turn off the ringer of her office telephone during sessions so it will ring and she doesn't answer it, which is very distracting. Also, there were a few times when her cell phone rang during sessions and she answered it. I found this to be unprofessional and was one of the reasons I stopped seeing her. Outside of those distractions, she is a good listener. Her advice however is more motherly than professional. She tends to want to be friends with her patients and give them friendly advice. While that's nice, I don't think it's always as useful as it would be to challenge the patients or to offer more clinical ways of looking at or dealing with issues.

I've been seeing Dr. Dousette for more than two years now, and I would recommend her very highly. She has been extremely helpful to me through some very rough patches and has always been kind, compassionate, wise and insightful. I trust her observations and advice without reservation, she's helped me live a happier, less stressful life.

If i could give negative stars (or zero stars) I would. I felt worst when i left this office than when I went in. There was reverse progress in my fragile situation. I was shocked when they dismissed my concerns as unimportant and told me I was just overreacting. I filed a complaint with the http://www.medbd.ca.gov/lookup.html Medical Board of California because it was rude and unethical the way I was treated by Dr. Dousette. I was recommended by word of mouth. I understand that people have their off days, but a therapist/mental health professional whould never lose their temper with a client and mismanage their billing. I knew that my situation needed attention, and I couldn't believe that they wouldn't even look into it. One thing I appreciated about their office, was how easy it was to find parking. I was able to find a spot right away. I was very unhappy with the way my appointment progressed. I made absolutely no progress, and I felt even worse when I left.
