The Stern Center

I have been a client of the Stern Center since November 2012. The staff are all wonderful except for my counselor. She embarrassed me in front of another counselor that she brought in and didn't even ask if I minded she sit in on my session, has no empathy, made me cry and didn't even offer me a tissue. She tells me one week it's ok to bring an article in so we can discuss it the next week, then when I bring it in she starts over analyzing the reason why I brought it in, tells me it has no therapeutic value after I told her what it was going to be about. Then I told her I had a problem with something I learned about and she didn't know what I was talking about. So I made a DVD on it so she would be familiar with what I was talking about, and she tears that apart over analyzing it and telling me she would rather hear about it from me. Why? She treats me like I have no intellegence anyway. Strange, she makes you feel good about yourself one week and the next week she treats you like your stupid. Needless to say I quit going there as of today. I don't deserve to be treated like some common idiot off the street. I am better than that and I know it. I will not stand for someone treating me like that from someone that is supposed to be helping me. She acts like she is bi-polar or dual personality or something. Another thing I didn't appreciate was when the other counselor and I went to follow my counselor to her office the other counselor insisted I walk in front of her as if I was a pervert or something. These two people owe me a sincere apology. No one should be this upset walking out of a counseling session. My counselor ruined any trust I had for her and I will never give her a chance to do upset me again because I am no longer a client of The Stern Center in Connellsville, PA.
