Kimberly Hairston, LCSW

I had very severe depression and anxiety when my health insurance matched me with this therapist. At first she was kind, pushy and abrasive about medication, which I refused to take because I worried how it would effect my mood and work performance, but over time she very quickly became used to patronizing me and treating me like a misbehaving child. Even when my mental health started to improve, thanks to life and me learning how to cope better (by myself, she was no help because she would never remember what we talked about each session and gave me the same advice every time- and she would get angry when I reminder her that like 90% of her “advice” didn’t apply to me. She got very comfortable insulting me and chastising me for having mental health and life struggles and after a couple of sessions I started feeling worse after talking to her, not better. She was my first therapist and made me want to quit altogether. I have a new therapist who actually listens to me now though.
