Dr. Sahar Sara Teimoori, PSY.D., LCSW

I would kill myself to NOT see this therapist

1st interaction: My first impression of her was on a call on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. She asks some questions and for some documents, which was fine ​- no problems so far. Since it's Labor Day weekend, I have plans over so I can't get all the documents immediately, but I figure it's not a big deal. 

2nd Interaction: Labor Day Monday morning she calls me and asks where are the documents. I apologize and tell her I'll send them today. She then gives me a lecture that she's "looking for a patient that is on time and that follow directions." and if I was "serious about working with her." HOLY SHIT, red flags go off that this person is toxic. Not only was she condescending, she's now guilt tripping the guy thinking about killing himself... who was trying to get a therapist to help... with my ADHD and depression... OK nice training you got there Doc.

3rd Interaction: Next comes the unprofessional and grammar error text messages
Sahar: "I send u two emails and send it back by Thursday and ur copay is $60 for each session. U can zelle to my phone or my name. I need ur paperwork today before 1:00 pm to gave u appointment"
Me: "Do you have a digital version? I don't have a printer or scanner"
Sahar: "No I don't. Why u didn't tell before I send it to u"

That's going to be a big yikes and a immediate nope from me. Thanks but no thanks, this lady is crazy. Just in case for the doctor if she reads this in the future - How am I suppose to know you don't have a digital version? That's the point of me asking. The illogical part is when you ask why I, THE PATIENT, didn't tell you BEFORE you sent it. Logically, how am I suppose to know that what you were sending me wasn't an editable PDF? Wake up, we're in 2021. Telehealth is the default therapy method now, and you're surprised people don't have printers and scanners anymore? What else do I need to tell you unprompted so you don't get upset? Cause I'm clearly the one that has more emotional regularity than you... the "therapist".
