Brave Life Therapy, LLC

Ive never left a review for a therapist. I’ve been utilizing therapy for 30 years, and on a quest for the perfect fit. I thought I found that at BraveLife Therapy with Courtney Harrough. We did months worth of work together; however, as time went on she became harsh, promised to try various forms of therapy with me with ZERO follow through, switched practices, increased her price from $60 per session to $140, and then changed her schedule with ZERO warning. None of these changes were told to me in person - I had to find out via email. After expressing concern for her inconsistency as a therapist, tactfully and respectfully, I was let go by CP, had my file handed off, and it was all clearly retaliatory. She is a DANGER to clients who are experiencing distress, abandonment, trust issues, and great turmoil. Horribly inconsistent and lacking in empathy. She made many promises that she never backed up, and the lack of follow through was entirely unacceptable. I cannot express how disappointed I am in her as a human being, as well as her supervisor Pat. When I reached out to file a complaint she was condescending and unhelpful. Offered zero solutions outside of having a conversation that was only meant to further protect the therapist - NOT me. Run far away from these individuals and this dangerous practice. It is not a safe place for those experiencing trauma.

Jess is, in my experience, incompetent and dangerous as a marriage counselor for high conflict couples. In late July of 2023, we sought out her help. Instead, she inflicted uneccessary emotional trauma on my family from which we are still recovering. The contempt I saw in her face and heard in her tone after only briefly meeting with each of us separately causes me to suspect a problem with her projecting something personal into the session. She demonstrated ill-informed bias by calling in law enforcement to manage non-violent emotional distress in a therapeutic setting. My current therapist, our subsequent marriage counselor, a social worker, and the social worker she sent to my home have all verbally recognized the innapropriateness of and harm caused by her missteps. Two of those have encouraged us to file a report with the licensing board. I don't typically write reviews, but this felt far too important to not do so.
