Blooming Minds Counseling LLC

“I am ready to share my experience with Blooming Minds after taking some time to reflect. Initially, I had an excellent counselor who created a supportive, safe, and productive environment. Remarkably, she never assigned “homework,” yet we consistently made meaningful progress in every single session. Her approach allowed real, lasting growth to happen organically, which was both surprising and incredibly validating. Her level of care and professionalism set a high standard. However, after she left, my experience declined significantly. I was reassigned to a new college girl who was in training, with Tammy present during sessions. From that point on, the quality of care noticeably decreased. Sessions felt unproductive and lacked the structure and insight I had previously received. A major concern was the rigid and, at times, dismissive approach to treatment. There was a strong emphasis on completing “homework,” and I was explicitly told that failure to complete assignments would result in being dropped as a client. This approach felt inappropriate and insensitive, particularly in a mental health setting where clients may already be overwhelmed or vulnerable. Even more frustrating, Tammy acted as if I wasn’t doing the inner work necessary for real progress, simply because I didn’t complete the assigned homework. This completely ignored the actual effort, reflection, and growth I was putting in during sessions, and it made me feel unfairly judged rather than supported. When I became upset and tried to explain why I hadn’t completed the homework, the response was unsupportive and dismissive rather than understanding or compassionate, even when I was sitting there crying and apologizing to her. Due to these issues, I chose to discontinue services. While my initial experience was very positive, the inconsistency in care and lack of empathy in later interactions were significant enough that I cannot recommend this practice.”

“Started off pretty good, but quickly declined i came here for some guidance and help with my child all was going good till sessions started with bringing in my son never knew what the problem was, but when i emailed on my concerns and questions she never emailed me back just completely ignored me. Not profesional and would not recommend.”

“Initially a good experience but eventually had to drop because she would not show up to schedule appointments nor send any of the follow up documents/assignments/readings after the sessions. No notifications of cancellations and several sessions where she would have technology or internet problems. When I informed her I would no longer be her patient, the true unprofessionalism was shown and I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it’s a better experience in person but beware if you’re looking for virtual sessions.”

“Very nice people.”
