Counselors - Alpharetta, GA

"I was reluctant to turn to a therapist, but then I found myself married to an alcoholic and reached a point where I couldn’t handle it by myself anymore. Cindy was the third therapist we visited and the only one we both felt comfortable with. Since that first visit many years ago I continue to see her for parenting and life advice. She has also worked with my teenagers. Almost every time I speak with her, I have an “ah-ha” moment. She has a way of assessing the situation and providing advice that is clear and profound. I have referred numerous friends to her and they all love her. I was surprised to read a poor review on this site, so clearly everyone is different, however my and my friends experiences with her have been nothing but positive. She is so helpful in guiding you through the navigation of life, with it’s numerous challenges. I learned that I can’t and shouldn’t go through some things by myself, as much as I wish I could. She has given me the confidence to get through anything, has saved my sanity and helped me grow as a person. "

"Ed is a compassionate, direct counselor who strives to make a difference with his clients. My teenage son has been seeing him for well over a year and he has brought insights and practical help to our family when we needed it most. "

"My wife and I saw Dr. Monette for couple's therapy and he appeared very understanding and trustworthy initially. However, ethical issues started after our second session when he recommended a women's support group to my wife, which seemed very supportive until I found out he was leading the support group while simultaneously counseling us in couple's therapy. Next, my son (18 year old) asked my wife if he could go to therapy and my wife recommended Dr. Monette. Dr. Monette counseled my son in multiple sessions instead of recommending he see a different therapist due to an existing conflict-of-interest. Finally, Dr. Monette shared private texts that I sent him with my wife while we were going through a divorce and she was still meeting with him separately while I had stopped attending. All three of these actions taken by Dr. Monette raise serious ethical and conflict-of-interest concerns. As a result, I had Dr. Monette listed as an exception to my obligation to pay for health care services for my minor child in my separation agreement."
