Ms. Suzanne Marie Stokes, LMHC

DOS is estimate. I saw her from May, 2023-August 2023.  Where should I start?? 1st phone call/zoom appointment was terrible. She kept cutting out and having to call me back. She was doing it from her cell phone, not a laptop. 2nd and 3rd meeting in person, she was very late both times and did not bother to call or text that she was late.  When I told her I felt my time had been disrespected and that I did not think this would be a good fit, she started crying and begged me not to leave and to get her "help me". Silly me, I agreed. I told her from that day forward I would only do zoom appointments and she agreed. she did those appointments from her apartment, where she was dog sitting and was happy to talk about the dog, her artwork, and literally showed me around her apartment by carrying her laptop. It always felt like my sessions were way more about her, than me and my current issues. The last straw was when she completely ghosted me on what would be my last zoom session with her in August of 2023. After that, I was done. I had gone through a very traumatic breakup after a 9 year relationship, and she did NOTHING to reduce my stress, anxiety, feelings of despair and loneliness. I have several friends who are wonderful therapists, and they ALL told me to report her. I should have. This review will serve my purpose. Do not use this person for therapy!!!
