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.

Shane is compassionate and direct in his assessment and care of his clients. He listens. He stays focused. He has been a very good therapist.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kavanaugh?
Terrible. Does nothing LITERALLY except awkwardly laugh at whatever trouble you get yourself to share. Barely speaks during sessions, pretends to do behavioral therapy but you’re literally better off catching up with a friend over a cuppa. Waste of TIME and money.
