Liz Lattof is a wonderful counselor who has helped me tremendously with many issues. She is kind, professional, and caring. I have known her for many years and she had influenced my outlook on life in a very positive and productive way. I am very thankful for her knowledge and kindness. I have recommended her to friends and family alike.

I am 30 yrs old and I have been seeing Dr. Bjorge for 12 yrs on and off. He has helped me keep myself together emotionally and mentally through my rough times in life. He has helped me realize that I am a strong person and there is so much more our of life. I strongly recommed Dr. Bjorge as a doctor to see. He is very kind and patient person. It is very hard to find good doctors these days that in this type of field, I know that for sure.

Although they are very nice people my experience there over the course of 20 years was not helpful. I was in a marriage with a malignant narcissist and very much controlled. My children suffered as well as soon as they reached the age of about 12. They were not experienced enough in this area to help me where I needed it. I finally was able to get out of this abusive marriage but not without damage to me and to my kids. I'm sure in other areas they are good but this one area they do need much more experience.

My parents have counseling sessions with one of their other counselors as well and have both had very positive comments about their experiences.

My husband and I went for marriage counseling. The female counselor was nice, but kept scheduling appointments even though the group sessions that were promised never happened. The male counselor overcharged us for sessions we were able to prove we were not there for as well as not sticking to the agreed upon payment. The male counselor called me in to talk about the possibility of group sessions (not therapy with him), but charged my insurance and billed for a co-pay despite using profanity and belittling me (25 minute session, but charged for 60 minutes). It was very unprofessional, and I came
