Dr. Jay Middleton, PHD

I have been seeing Jay for quite a few years and I have had great experiences with him. I have seen many therapists over the years, and he is the best therapist I have had since I was a kid. He has helped me through a lot of trauma and has helped me grow as a person and understand how to set boundaries and has also helped me develop emotional intelligence. He's always real and direct with me and gives me another perspective on issues that greatly bother me. He also hasn't stigmatized me due to my looks, tattoos, hair color, piercings, and my history as an addict, unlike many of my previous therapists. When you find a good therapist, stick with them.

I often can't see him as much as I'd like due to financial and poor schedule management reasons but personally he's an amazing therapist. He makes me feel heard and seen and doesn't sugar coat things but also isn't needlessly harsh. He has the perfect balance of speaking from his own experiences without it feeling like he's trying to talk over me or make things about him. He knows a lot about modern games and stuff, too, so I find it easier to relate to him. He was my first male therapist and helped me realize on my own that the reason he's the first therapist I've clicked with is because my problems mostly stem from my mother. Just a great guy tbh

He literally called me an idiot.
