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.

DO NOT ATTEND SESSIONS WITH THIS MAN, YOU COULD BE HARMED!!!! My husband and I attended three sessions for marital counseling. It was the worst therapy I had ever been to. During the second session he kept us there for two and a half hours, was very difficult to follow, engaged in inappropriate role playing that involved him to stand over me and pretend to slap me across the face in front of my husband. This had a very harmful effect on me being that I have experienced domestic violence in my past relationships, including the one I was presently in. His "therapy" still haunts me to this day. He made other misogynistic comments toward me during the sessions like telling me that I should "go after the balls because that's what women do" encouraged me to pretend to "lay into my husband to see how he'd react" as a homework assignment. One of my darkest days followed his mock slapping incident and I hope no one ever has to experience that type of "treatment". He should be reported.

Dr. Cooper has a very personal way to get his message through. He is very professional and give you the time you need to discuss about your issues. He can drill down to the root cause of your issues and work on it.

Dr. Cooper is highly caring and enables me to work on helping me evolve into a more joyful and happy person. I expect to continue weekly sessions with no end in sight. I am lucky to have him as an emotional mentor.

I couldn't image anyone leaving a negative review for Dr.Cooper. Maybe you're not up to par and can't understand his delivery method. He is an unorthodox psychologist and I think that's what makes him a genius. He's helped me more in six months than six years of previous therapy has.

Dr. Cooper is unorthodox in his delivery, he is animated, entertaining, and interactive. He drives home the basic, elementary root of the problem to light. He gives specific ways to communicate more effectively. My husband and I look forward to our sessions with Dr. Cooper because he brings us back to the root of our issue that is palatable and reassuring. Some might be offended by his colorful language but in my opinion,it fosters a genuine and real environment to be open.
