i was referred to lee by my company's employee assistance program. i spent 5 sessions with her and they got progressively worse. first of all, she doesn't remember anything you tell her even with her extensive note-taking habits. secondly, she talks a lot about herself and her experiences which at first were relevant but grew to be invasive and turn the session from mine to hers. she focused a lot of changing thought patterns and being mindful which is fine. CBT has a place for every problem. when i continued to talk about my feelings about certain things, she would say that i "needed to let my anger go and move on." that's great advice but how exactly do i do that?
by the fourth session, she was getting a little combative and dismissive. saying things like "it's my choice to continue feeling poorly." it did not feel therapeutic at all. it felt like she was annoyed by my inability to shed decades of negative feelings over 4 therapy sessions with someone who can't remember anything i told them. she also mentioned the shooting in oregon twice and scoffed at my thoughts behind the mentality of the shooter. by the fifth session i knew i would not be scheduling any more appointments with lee and the only reason i kept it was to return a book to her.
today was our fifth session and i talked a lot about feelings of anger and depression i've been continuing to experience. she told an anecdote about herself and encouraged me to exercise more often. she said that if i exercised more often, i'd feel better and lose some weight which would add to my elevated mood. note: i never once said anything about my weight or any body image issues. i am about 15 pounds overweight with no weight-related medical issues. i asked her why she was talking about my weight and she said "well, you're overweight." i said "excuse me??" she asked if i thought i was overweight. i said that i was done. i said that i had not once mentioned my weight as a problem of any kind in our sessions together and that i was very upset with her for calling me fat. i took out the book she lent me and put it on the table. lee asked if we could talk about my feelings and she sounded angry, as if i were blowing it out of proportion. i told her to never contact me again and walked out.
i sat in the parking lot for an hour trying to calm down enough to drive home. i contacted my employee assistance program to report her behavior and the phone counselor was very nice.
i would not recommend this woman to anyone that has any kind of problem. she is wildly unprofessional and terrible at her job. not only did she ruin my day, she has now made it exponentially more difficult to trust another therapist again.
