Earl Ledford, LCSW

Really bad experience during our first marriage therapy session. He talked to us like we were stupid, actually ROLLED his eyes at both of us when he spoke, but barely let us speak at all. He interrupted and cut my incredibly therapy resistant husband off more than once when he tried to speak which led my husband to completely shut down during session. He didn’t check in with my husband at all when he had very visibly shut down. When we disagreed with something he said, or tried to correct his explanation of what was going on with us (because he wouldn’t listen to us) he pretty much told us we weren’t ready for therapy when he wouldn’t let us explain at all. It was an incredibly discouraging experience. I always tell people to give a therapist at least 3 tries before coming to a decision on if they are a fit, but I never want to speak to this man again. One thing I will say, is it got my husband and I on the same page about something, and that was our dislike for his style.
