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.

It's hard to rate a therapist. I found there was a lot of surface by the book empathy, not terribly helpful, tends to stifle yawns while listening and it's easy to tell when she wants you to move on. There's a little over share about other clients issues and a lot of self referencing. I got slowly phased out by 3-4 week wait times, not accepting my insurance and only offering out of pocket $100 sessions. I got some bad advice from her and I'm sure she felt it best to get rid of me. A bit cold.

Beth is an amazing and very caring therapist. She goes above and beyond what’s necessary, and out of the 5 therapists I’ve seen, she is BY FAR the best one! She is more than happy to recommend anything that will help you, including books as well as doctors in the area. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her profession. She also will really try and help you figure out and work on your issues by truly engaging in the conversation and asking thoughtful questions. Best therapist ever!

Beth is a fantastic therapist, and really a great fit for me. Sometimes you have to see a few people to find the right person you can trust, connect with, and open up to, and I've really found that in Beth. She's very responsive to my needs, brings up the difficult things I need to work on, and is an overall great guide and support. She's also available and responsive via text, which is really great in a medical professional. I definitely recommend her therapy services to others.

Beth Elder was able to clearly articulate every potential mental illness she suspected I had. While there were some real pros to her by-the-book and casual style, Dr. Elder lacked true empathy and emotional understanding. Working with her was akin to being poked and prodded like a lab rat by a stranger in a white lab coat; And my health only began to deteriorate further. I was clearly a frustrating case for Doctor Elder, and thus she ended our time together, by texting me a curt goodbye.
