I have worked with multiple people as a client at Walsh Counseling Services. My CCSS Alyssa was hands down the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was hardworking, dedicated, passionate, empathetic, kind, and always made me feel like she was in my corner rooting for me no matter what I was facing. I know that the people who work at Walsh can only be a reflection of those that founded this office and have a vision to really truly help anyone and everyone who walks through their doors to the best of their abilities. As Walsh Counseling Services grows I know they will continue to remain dedicated to putting their clients first and helping as many people as they can. My experience there was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is in need of support. I could not have made the progress in my journey that I have without their support. Thank you to everyone at Walsh Counseling Services.

I had a great experience during my time at Walsh. They are well organized and my clinician seemed to constantly be learning more about her practice, which is the best sign of a great agency. And she already knew a lot when we started! They keep focused on your goals as a client and do great work helping you get there.

Absolutely loved my time with Ana at Walsh counseling. She was so helpful in getting me through a tricky spot in my life. It was so easy to work with Walsh - they were able to get me in right away and they were always easy to contact if I needed to reschedule or anything else. I also never had any issues with billing - it seems like a very well and professionally run operation.

My counselor through Walsh Counseling has been amazing. She makes me comfortable to talk about tough things. She’s also helped me to with my anxiety and depression by giving me tools to help myself. Even when I don’t use the tools given, she never makes me feel bad about it.

My 1st time trying counseling was a mess. It was a home visit with a different company. The counselor told me I couldn't be in her home because of my perfume. It might bother her other clients but no signs were posted. So I leave & file a complaint. Years and years go by. Here I find myself once again looking for a counselor but also having mixed thoughts because of my first experience. I'm so happy I heard about this company. Completely different 100% from my first experience. I highly recommend Walsh. I feel very supported and heard. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Never give up!

I don't know what kind of therapist has you write a letter and essentially has you pour your emotions and heart out to them. Asks you through multiple sessions "do you even want to heal?" Litterally offers ZERO self help or coping mechanisms. Makes you feel judged, ridiculed and crjtisized with little to no empathy, compassion or knowledge of complex PTSD or of what therapy even is supposed to look like . Then proceeds to tell you that they will be referring you to another therapy service separate of Walsh. Its like they got click happy on their Psychology Today page, claiming to be knowledgeable about the process of helping one heal . Yet through the nearly seven months I have been seeing this therapist has had nothing constructive or productive to say to aid in personal growth or progression in my journey. Furthermore I would like to state that this is now the second therapist I have seen since trying this place and certainly am not feeling well from this experience 😕.
