I'm going to leave a very candid review of JVC. I have been attending counseling services at JVC for two years. My first therapist Gloria was amazing. She was so supportive and really made me feel heard and like I was making progress in therapy. The receptionist at the front desk is always kind and willing to help. I had an issue with my second therapist Jessica not being professional and stunting the therapeutic process. I was no longer comfortable communicating with her due to comments she had made during our therapy session which I explained to the counseling supervisor. Their solution was to have Jessica reach out to me directly after I stated I did not want to talk to her. In my opinion as a fellow therapist, this was not trauma informed and put me in an uncomfortable situation as the client. I understand the counseling is free, but we as clients should still be treated with the same respect as if we were paying for sessions. When I informed the supervisor Jodie that I would not like to continue sessions with Jessica, I was informed I would be put on the waitlist. I understand no other counselors having availability. However, I think it is unfair that I am now having to be put at the bottom of a waitlist (that takes years to get off of) due to my previous therapist's actions. I am truly upset and hate to see an organization that I recommended to my friends, family, and clients handle a situation this way.
