Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I don't recommend Mr. Mullins. He is late for appointments. He talks only about himself, his wife, his children and their families.

Great therapist!
Merle Mullins has been treating me for over a year for a serious PTSD crisis and I am so thankful I found him! I cannot express enough how much he has helped me. I have had PTSD for over 30 years, but the last three have been my most challenging. From the very first session, Merle made me feel comfortable and understood.Merl’s approach is both professional and compassionate. I love that Merle celebrates my wins with me and empathizes when I have a setback. He often helps me find the positives in situations, that I sometimes have a hard time seeing myself. Further, he shares his own relatable experiences, so I don’t feel so misunderstood.I have seen significant improvements in my mental health since I began working with Merle. I highly recommend Merle Mullins Counseling to anyone seeking mental health support. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to provide the best care possible.

Went to Merle a couple different times because he has a lot of Timeslots available. Each time I wasn’t more and more disappointed than the last time I kind of wanted him to get better as we got along but consistently he failed to meet our needs

Excellent,engaging and also, very good at problem solving personal and marital situations.. I've been with another doctor before Merle, The first 15 min into the session the doctor was falling asleep at the wheel... With Merle you will get results in what ever situation is...
