The company is unprepared, and the cancelation of sessions is frequent.
Therapy Sessions

Issues with Billing
There have been issues with billing, with clients being overcharged multiple times, and unauthorized charges being made to their bank cards. This has led to fraud alerts being placed on the company by banks.
Unreliable and Unprofessional
The company is seen as unreliable and unprofessional. Reviewers do not recommend using their services, citing poor communication, lack of licensed therapists, and unprepared sessions.
