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.

I saw Dr. Kynaston for a while to deal with trauma from my childhood abuse. One of the challenges that I struggled with was that I felt fearful of and triggered by my husband, even though there was nothing I could point to that was wrong. Rather than explore those feelings, she directed me to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to convince myself that my husband was safe. It came out a short time later that he was secretly abusing my son (I divorced him immediately). When I saw her after I found out she shared with me that this had happened to her before when she used CBT to help another female patient convince herself that her current partner wasn't cheating and that it later came out that he was. While Dr. Kynaston is personable and kind, she seems unable to accurately reflect on the quality of her work and adjust accordingly. A therapist with a PhD should be able to help patients explore the fears that they have to ensure that they aren't an underlying "gut feeling" before using CBT.
