Crista Coffing-Blain, MMFT

She literally cancelled my appointment TEN MINUTES AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO START. I wish I had seen her reviews on Teledoc before I scheduled because clearly this is a habit of hers from other reviews I’m seeing here.

I really like Crista. She is patient and is helping me get through some really hard stuff.

I have found Crista (she goes by Cristina) to be a wonderful therapist. We have been working together for a year now and over that time I have come to trust and respect her so very much. She listens well and offers feedback and some gentle guidance. And she helps me see things a little more clearly and see myself with more kindness and compassion. When I look back to who I was a year ago, I can see so much growth and Cristina has been a big part of that growth.

she canceled last minute and I never went back. Such a major disappointment. I know her intentions were good; But being recommended things that 1. didn't help 2. made things worse or 3. cost a fortune over and over again, felt like I was wasting my time and money. I felt like something was wrong with me, like I was the reason therapy wasn't working. I wasn't doing something right. Mind you, I was trying my very best to cope with near death experiences. Come to find out, instead of going to some reiki 'specialist' I needed to go to an Ortho. I have scoliosis and my nerves are being pressed on. I'm in real pain, it's not imaginary, and it cannot be meditated away. My bones are misaligned, and deformed. And I'm poor. She would always suggest such outlandishly expensive things for anyone who knows true poverty. I can't afford someone to put their hands above me and fix my chakras when it's my spine that needs MEDICAL attention, not SPIRITUAL.

Crista cancelled my appointments two times in row without explanation. The first cancellation happened 2 days before the scheduled appointment, and the second happened two minutes (literally) before the scheduled appointment. All without explanation. It requires the highest degree of unprofessionalism to cancel a mental health appointment minutes before a scheduled visit. Crista has wasted my time and energy, and has blatantly disrespected me and my health.

Abysmal. The word "unprofessional" does not even begin to describe it. She couldn't even be bothered to actually show up. I scheduled over 24 hours in advance, made sure i had time for the session and she reschedules it 10 minutes after it was supposed to start. No warning or heads up. She couldn't be bothered to turn on her computer and do the session.

How do you get away with canceling an appointment with a young adult reaching out for help 8 minutes before your online session without even a conversation? Despicable.
