Overall Review of Mary Mcgrew Alh

common 14 reviews mention this

Therapists receive strong praise

Many reviewers say their therapist was warm, kind, and genuinely supportive.

A large share of reviews describe counselors who listen, show empathy, and create a safe or non-judgmental environment. Several people also mention specific therapy approaches helping them make progress, along with feeling respected and able to move at their own pace. A few reviewers contrast this by describing an unhelpful session, but the more consistent feedback is that the therapist experience can feel supportive.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Billing issues are a recurring concern

Some reviewers report confusion and frustration with charges and refunds.

Several reviews describe being double-charged, billed for visits they did not authorize, or receiving charges later than expected. Others mention delays in resolving payment problems and difficulty getting clear answers or supervisors. Even where the provider is described as helpful, the billing experience is repeatedly cited as stressful enough that some reviewers recommend avoiding the company.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Support and scheduling vary by experience

Some reviewers describe uneven support during sessions or follow-up.

While many reviews focus on positive counseling experiences, a smaller set describe feeling dismissed, interrupted, or not receiving the full session time they expected. Another reviewer describes frustration when the session direction focused heavily on a caregiver’s perspective rather than their own situation. A few reviews also highlight difficulty getting timely help when administrative problems came up.
