Marilyn Dianne Lucas, LMHC

Saw her twice. It was absolutely horrible in every way. I've had counselors before in my life and this was horrendous! I can't believe she keeps clients with the manner she displayed. Brash and absolutely no patience or understanding. She has a set agenda and doesn't listen! I have a chronic illness and suffer from varying degrees of cognetive disfunction with word retrieval difficulties. My second appointment I was having problems thinking and expressing myself. She accused me of being "doped up"! I offered to send her information on my particular illness and how it affects the mind and speech but she refused! She told me to go get myself straightened out and healthy, then come back for counseling!  Dealing with my illness was a major reason WHY I wanted counseling! She also would not let me talk the second appointment. She said she learned all she needed to know in just the first one appointment!! She stated that I didn't want to get better, that I just wanted to talk! She was condensending, rude and accusative!! I am now going to another Christian Therapist and flourishing.
