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 donโ€™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.

I highly recommend Dr. Deseve as an exceptional psychologist. I have had the pleasure and benefit of receiving counsel from Dr. Deseve for many years in both couples and individual sessions. Dr. Deseve is very wise, kind, and honest. He consistently demonstrates that he really hears and sees me as he responds to my unique situation and needs. He is outstanding at recognizing, even when I don't, what is at the root of my particular difficulties I bring to the table, and he asks questions that gently, yet effectively, help me unearth what is hiding under the surface. Once issues are identified, Dr. Deseve is patient and careful to move at a pace that is healthy and safe for me. This is critical since I have received counsel elsewhere which caused additional trauma due to too fast a pace. Dr. Deseve is helping me heal from my past, live in my present, and grow into the person I want to be. I am eternally grateful for his service and care.

I've been so very grateful for the guidance Dr. DeSeve has provided. I've always felt safe to share and be open about how I'm feeling. He has a way of helping put things in perspective and see things in a different way. He is trustworthy, gives helpful and honest feedback and in-put in a non-judgmental way. I would definitely recommend Dr. DeSeve for counseling.

Dr Deseve is one of the most caring, empathetic therapists I know. He walked with me thru my journey as I tried to make sense of childhood abuse and the residual scars it left, helped me understand my responses and was ever supportive. Tough when I needed it, understanding and open minded when I talked of pain. You cannot go wrong choosing this man as a resource and therapist. He is very very good at his job.

I've been seeing Dr DeSeve for 23 years and he's helped me tremendously with life's challenges. In the past 6 months, I've been seeing him via telehealth video visits and it feels like we haven't missed a beat. It's easy to use the software, it's very convenient, and I feel like I get the same great service and care he's always given me.

I cannot speak highly enough to Dr. DeSeve's integrity, expertise, therapeutic approach, and genuine personal presence. This is saying a great deal given I came to him highly skeptical and deeply impacted after suffering professional misconduct from a prior therapist. Building trust was paramount from day one. He never wavered in his astute reading of each moment and what would be in my best interest therapeutically. I spent far more time in therapy than I originally imagined but not for his lack of skill. Rather, because he was so profoundly gifted at helping me move through my issues I became naturally compelled to dig deeper and deeper toward living my Best Life. I went from the lowest low to turning both my personal and professional life around in such a way I hardly recognize myself today and that truth is a blessing! It is not an exaggeration to say I am the fiercely conscious, confident, empowered woman I am today because of my work with Dr. DeSeve. My deepest gratitude.

We had high hopes going to him for couple's therapy, but his methods and advice were rather disappointing and inappropriate in so many ways.

Dr. DeSeve has been a positive force in my life since day one. I trust him completely to help me discover my own personal truths and to safely travel through these experiences with expert guidance. Visits are like a college course, "My Life", and Dr. DeSeve has the gift of listening and asking just the right questions to allow me to ponder my own thoughts and actions and decisions. I am grateful beyond words for the difference he has made in my life - especially in the area of self-confidence.
