MICHAEL S. CARNEY, LPC, LMFT, LCDC, LBSW REVIEWS

Dr. Carney is helping me have a better life, becoming a better person and showing me that things really can change for the better with the right help (even in what may seem like the darkest of times). So much positive has happened since he started treating me. I do believe that the rapport we have (which seemed to happen instantly) put me at ease and allowed me to be completely open and honest about every aspect of my life so he could do his best work with my situations. I would assume nobody enjoys airing their dirty laundry and looking inward to the roles we play in our troubles. However, I feel completely comfortable doing so with Mike and I genuinely feel that he wants to be a part of my transformation into a better life. Not every doctor is right for every patient (it took 3 different therapists to find mine) and not every patient is right for every doctor. If you are reading this, I wish you the very best in your journey and am confident that Dr. Carney would be able to help you have a better life.

I’ve been seeing Michael for about 7 years. I genuinely look forward to talking with him and always feel like I have a better handle on life after speaking with him. He is personable and professional and always has my best interest at heart. He has gotten me through the roughest parts of my life and has shown pride at my accomplishments. He challenges me and listens while giving me new perspectives. He truly is a phenomenal therapist and a fantastic person to have in your corner. What ever struggles you’re going through, speaking with this guy is a step in the direction you want.

I just spoke with Dr. Carney for the first time. He was so easy to talk to. He is down to earth. He really listened to me. He gave me wonderful insight. I was very anxious to speak with him. I am so glad I was able to meet with him - he was worth the wait.

HAROLD DURHAM, PH.D, CIDWI, CAMF, CTBT REVIEWS

These courses helped me understand where I can improve in life. Dr. Durham is possibly one of the best instructors you could have. Very knowledgeable overall, busy most importantly he makes you feel comfortable enough to open up and push yourself to improve upon your setbacks in life. 10/10 would refer this office to anyone who may be going through hard times and wants to turn their life around.

I went into this class thinking negative due to me having this as a mandatory thing for court. Mister Durham connected with me immediately. Every example he gave throughout our classes felt like he was speaking on my own personal life. He turned a sour experience into a sweet one that felt welcoming. He does it all, I will be coming back for counciling at my own free will.

This class was very interesting & help u learn a lot about yourself and why you react to things the way you react. The staff is very welcoming and supportive. One thing I will always take with me moving forward is be brief. U will underwent why I stay that if you have to take the class.

MEGAN PICKENS, MSFT, LPC-S REVIEWS

I had a really good experience with Megan Pickens. The check in process was so simple, she sent me emails to confirm my appointment and all she asked was I had to fill in my paperwork prior to my appointment. I filled out my paperwork I turned up at the office and my appointment was as scheduled and everything started on time. Megan was thoughtful caring and was very attentive to all my needs, I would recommend her to anybody who needs the help and support the way I needed it.

A lovely therapist. Very easy to speak with, never rude, and always made sure that my comfort was first. It's been a good while since I've been here, but her sessions have stuck with me. This experience was five stars for me.

Absolutely amazing. Easy to talk to. Easy scheduling. Registration process easy. Will definitely keep using. Thanks.
