Social Workers - Littleton, CO

"We sought out cappi as a child therapist for my son who was having issues. She seemed to do ok with my son, she was genuinely concerned and seemed to legitimately want to help, but when we started getting into the family therapy there were a few red flags. She was not only my son's therapist, but also my ex wife's therapist by this time, and she also wanted to offer 1 on one to my current wife and myself, and also wanted to facilitate mediation between myself and my ex wife. It almost seems more efficient to have one therapist for all this, but I wasn't comfortable with some details of my ex wife's one on one therapy being told to me in my own one on one sessions, nor what I wasn't aware of being shared by her to anyone else during their own one on one sessions. We all also saw some biased during group or family sessions and in her mediation. I do think her heart was in the right place and she can be a competent therapist, but I don't think her handle of our situation was entirely appropriate nor turned out very helpful."

"I’m really disappointed in this social worker. My primary care, Dr. Zhang sent me to see Deidra since she’s in the same office. I saw her 4 times and each appointment was the same where Deidra would repeat the same textbook sentence about the amygdala and a bear in the room. I asked her for ways to apply this to myself and how to help with my symptoms and she couldn’t help me with any, she would just repeat the same thing about my brain thinking there’s a bear in the room. I finally decided it wasn’t worth it to see her because she wasn’t even trying. I was having reimbursement issues with my insurance company and needed to get a copy of my records. When I got my records I couldn’t believe what Deidra had said! She claimed that we had worked on goals together and that I had completed some of the goals. We NEVER discussed goals and I surely did not accomplish or complete anything while working with her. How wrong of her to lie in my medical record!! So now my insurance company thinks I don’t need more appointments with someone because Deidra said I’m good to go. She never seemed interested or invested in me or helping patients or her job. It’s so sad that someone so uncaring and unskilled is in a position as hers. I would expect better from UChealth."
