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.

AVOID, he talks about himself more than listens
Telehealth
I would completely avoid him. He spent the majority of the sessions talking about himself and his problems and he was not a good listener at all!!! He was making so many assumptions about me that were uncalled for and honestly made what I was going through way worse. He was giving unsolicited advice and does not know how to show empathy. He did not even care to listen to what I had to say and would cut me off constantly to speak about how his assumptions about me and my situation. Literally worst sessions I have ever had. Do not put yourself through more trauma you may be dealing with.

Caring and always putting the patient first
Telehealth
Dr. Wakeley is one of the most caring therapists out there. Not only is he professional but he really adds that personal touch that makes you know you've found the right doctor.I cant thank him enough for truly transforming our lives. You never realize how much you've needed and would benefit from a therapist until you find one such as Dr. Wakeley.

Down to Earth Truth

He does all the things you just don’t see any medical practitioners these days. Plenty of open visit times, always punctual, and there to listen.If you’ve already found him, consider yourself lucky..

Highly recommend this Therapist. Transformative!
Telehealth
I've been a patient of Mr. Wakeley's for over 6 months and our sessions are once a week. These sessions are always the appropriate length of time. There has never been an instant where Mr. Wakeley has ended a session prematurely. This Therapist has been nothing but transformative with regard to my self esteem and personal outlook on life. I feel that I can say anything to him and not only does he maintain confidentiality but when I feel that I just cannot see a solution to a problem, if he knows that he experienced a similar issue in his life, yes, he does relate these experiences briefly. I love this tact on therapy and no therapist has ever done this before him. This approach, along with conventional techniques helps me to cut through the mire so that I can see the 'forest for the trees' caused by stress in order to resolve my problems. I AM FEMALE BTW. Highly recommend him!

We need higher standards
Telehealth
People seek therapists to heal, not add additional mental hardship. I don’t recommend this practitioner if your trauma revolves around inappropriate male behavior. He encouraged me to pursue cosmetic procedures I did not need and furthered my dysmorphia. Why would you pay someone for that? He ended sessions very early for me too. Wish I could have all that money back, he did not earn it.

Not good for female clients
Don't recommend for women, uses more personal experience than professional methodology. Ends sessions after 15 mins but still charged for full session.

Huge Help in Navigating Big Life Event
I've been working with Rob for about half a year. When I started, I was afraid and very anxious to make what has turned out to me the best decision of my life - to retire. If I had not worked with Rob, I probably would still be working. I also learned how to address my overall, general anxiety by working with him. Thank you, Rob!

He’s there for YOU
Before doing therapy the one thing I kept hearing from others were the difficulty in finding a therapist that “gets you”. I was fortunate enough to have found, Rob, who expertly helps me navigate through my issues with a solid framework that works for ME, and provides compassionate therapy to ensure those issues are addressed. The value I’ve gained from Rob has been invaluable, and life-changing. I’ve been with Rob for a number of months and see myself sticking with Rob for the foreseeable future.

Great therapist particularly for men
Rob is great at pulling the critical information out of a client and helping them see their way through their challenges. I’ve been seeing him for about two years and he’s the best thermostat I’ve had
