"Murphy is a HORRIBLE counselor. She takes sides and in this case took my wifes side. She tells people its better to get divorced than to stay together and does nothing to help ones relationship!! Word to the wise!!! Stay away!!! If you need help see a licensed Psychiatrist and not some fly by night "therapist"!"

"I worked with Ms. Razes for almost a year, and I can say that it was by far the worst therapy experience that I have ever had. She came across as compassionate and understanding at first, and she seemed to be a good listener. However, it became clear over time that she did not have my best interests at heart. When I would ask her what treatment methods or direction she was taking things, she acted passive aggressive and would not give a straight answer. I had discussed issues that had occurred between myself and a former co-worker. She later suggested that she had called my co-worker and provided them with information about me. To my shock, a family member (who also knew my co-worker) later confirmed that Ms. Razes had in fact called my co-worker and talked about me. Not only did Ms. Razes tell my co-worker that I had talked about her in therapy, but she also told them that I had an addiction. In addition, Ms. Razes provided confidential information to my co-worker that I had shared with her in my therapy sessions (none of which had anything to do with my co-worker). I never gave Ms. Razes permission to release my information to my co-worker. She completely betrayed my trust, and I would not recommend her to my worst enemy. "

"I worked with this therapist for about 5 months, and I have to say that I walked away unimpressed with the lack of cooperation by Sara. She seemed uninterested in wanting to help me. Often times she would act passive-aggressive and would blame me for my problems. There were a couple of times that she would cancel an appointment at the last minute and make excuses, such as that she found a snake in her bathroom. She later admitted that she had lied as to why she had cancelled the appointments. For someone that claimed to have expertise with helping people heal from trauma, she did not seem to care that she was taking her own issues out on me. To make matters worse, my mother provided Sara's information to my old therapist, so that they could contact her and get information about me. I found out that Sara had released her therapy notes about me to my old therapist, who I had not seen in 8 years (and without my consent). Information about my therapy sessions with Sara was then shared by my old therapist with my mother, so that my mother could harass and emotionally blackmail me with what I had discussed with Sara. Sara broke my trust and caused more damage than anything else."
