Dr. Leah Hallow, PSY.D

I was a client of Dr. Hallow for about 2 yrs. The establishment where she worked was closed for business on Sept. 2019. I only come on here to say this..... Even though I know, as she has taught me DBT very well, that one should look at other people's perspectives and the facts. As I may feel that the review from the previous reviewer is slanderous, it may just as well have been that person's experince so I want to share my experience. I am happy and grateful for the yrs I spent with Dr. Hallow as my therapist. She went over DBT skills with me amd was supportive through the loss of my son amd mother. I know that not everyone fits with everyone. But that is ONLY for you to decide. She is great at what she does. And a it takes to for patient and dr. to learn one another to benefit out of the care. Some instantly than others. It is about where you are on your lufe amd what you need. Are you realky willing to learn and grow or just need someone to talk to? She offered great service.

Worst mental healthcare provider I've had in my life. Expected me to word vomit to her as opposed to having normal back and forth conversations, would look at me like I'm crazy when I pause naturally to leave room for conversation or comment. After being pressured into this weird dehumanizing word vomit situation for 80% of the sessions, she would spend the rest of the time telling me I'm so wrong about the issues in my life and haven't looked at the other sides of situations, had she had a natural conversation with me it would have been evident that I had considered every perspective she womansplained to me. She makes assumption after assumption. I left more uncomfortable and unhappy than when I went in. There was also an incident where she got rude and snappy towards a coworker for calling her by her first name. Doesn't seem very healthy to me to be learning how to get stable from such an insecure person that they have to use a title to put their coworkers and clients below them.
