Lina Rappoport, LMFT

Lazy and uninspired therapy, made no attempt to help me process my trauma and dropped me the first time I voiced frustration about my life circumstances. She knew I was suicidal and dropped me with zero compassion and zero reference to another therapist who could help me. Frequently 5 minutes late. We once had a session only go 15 minutes because she refused to dig into my trauma. She was not compassionate and left it to me to direct my care. Also forgetful, I’d have to remind her of basic facts about my case

Lina judges clients to their face, as she called my questions/worries strange. She is extremely opinionated and has a difficult time making the session about me rather than herself. I also question if she’s honest at times. I felt like a listener rather than the one talking. She treats me like a child and tells me what to do rather than ask me to do what she wants. She also ignores some of my requests until I ask them a few times. I encourage her to be sensitive by giving autonomy to clients and be client centric, which means let the session go in the way clients need rather than power struggle. I also recommend for her to stay where the client is at rather then move with her own pace.

She is organized and direct in her conversations however I do not think that she is good for teenager's with anxiety or depression. She is too serious and impatient. My daughter left a session in tears once. When I addressed her about the event, she did not respond. We did not use her again after that.....
