Communication Issues and Negative Experiences
The reviews highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences with Family Counseling Associates. Author Eric Catlow had a disturbing experience where the staff failed to communicate with him and deny him access to his son's health records, violating Indiana state law. This incident left him feeling untrusting and recommending others to stay away. On the other hand, several reviewers praised the staff, including therapists Machaela Peters, Patricia Cavanaugh, and Dr. Heck, for being engaging, helpful, and supportive.
Wonderful Staff and Services
Machaela Peters and Patricia Cavanaugh were highly recommended for their exceptional work with clients from various backgrounds. Several reviewers praised Dr. Heck's excellent support and council, and Mark Dubec for being a helpful and valuable therapist. The staff at Family Counseling Associates was consistently described as warm, friendly, welcoming, kind, and non-judgmental.
Unprofessional and Unhelpful Experience
Maria Mouzakis, on the other hand, had a horrible experience with Marilyn, a therapist who was unprofessional, uncaring, and judgmental. The therapist made the client feel hopeless and humiliated, creating a toxic environment that belied the purpose of therapy.
