Reviews of Maria Droste Counseling Center (Psychologist)

After experiencing other therapists, we finally found Kate Arellano who has done a wonderful job getting my kids to open up and discuss what os on their minds. There have been several previous therapists who have not connected with my boys and she has been successful.

This is not the place to go! I was seeing Haley Boyle for a few weeks. Our last session ended 15 min early and apparently someone already got the time slot I needed to make it work with my schedule. I’ve been calling her and left voicemails to see if she had other times available on mondays since it’s my only day off or if she can recommend me to someone else who has the time. But I have YET to get any kind of response from here. Unless is life threatening don’t go here. I would t recommend this place to anyone!! But I guess that’s the treatment you get for having Medicad as Insurance. This is the reason why I didn’t want to do this in the first place. Talk to someone when they don’t even care.

They have both regular therapist and therapist in training. Many of who will work on a sliding fee schedule. Hours vary depending on who you see.

Kate Arellano of the wonderful MDS Counseling Center cares nothing about clients, especially children. She is all about who pays the bills. The children repeatedly state she does not listen to them. I have recordings of the boys talking about Kate's refusal to acknowledge their pain from their father's harm. Kate had no response when the children stated Kate did not listen to them. When contacted, Kate refuses to respond. This is a therapist who needs to have nothing to do with children nor anyone else. She is all about money. If this center wants to retain any respect, they need to get rid of Kate.

I been involved with MDS Counseling for meny years. The counselors and staff have allways treated me with kindness and respect. The employees I know there I think are very trustworty. They could not be any better then they are. It is the most professional counseling agency I have ever known in my sixty year life.

My suicidal 11 year old son was being seen here. After just a few months of therapy and seeing progression, I stopped hearing from his therapist Lance. I called and they said we had mutually terminated sessions. NOT TRUE. When I asked for a new therapist they said I had to be put back on the “waitlist” but more suggest I look elsewhere. No compassion WHATSOEVER and I am truly disgusted and disappointed.
