Terrible, gaslighted and invalidated my kids’ experiences and concerns. My kids left frustrated and crying. She told my kids I was getting back together with their father! The abusive man I was leaving! Because she believed him instead of me. Run away from this social worker!!!

I saw Merrill Graham for actual counseling, and not as a court-ordered involuntary client. She was helpful and it was a great experience.

My elementary school son has better discernment than Merrill Graham does. He could see her making biased opinions based on her inability to not take sides in our family situation. Run away from this woman as fast as you can before she makes even more of a mess of whatever situation you're in!

Terrible discernment. Wrong conclusions. Invalidates feelings, refuses to listen, jumps to conclusions. Run away from this therapist!

I would recommend to stay away from Graham and her wishey-washey worthless ways. If you want to test her yourself ask for a direct answer to a question.... The silence you hear will be her worth....

Second suggestion... don't put her on the spot and expect results.... she will lash out and lie to advance her receipt of another check (right or wrong).... I can't think of a worse person.

She was professional and helpful. Her therapy dog was cute, and actually helped my son to open up. My son did not want to come, but the dog helped him to feel comfortable. My son asked to come back, and even said it was okay to talk about his feelings. Nothing but positive to say about her and her techniques (and dog). KL

Positive and negative reviews are always going to be out there for everyone. I briefly met with and saw two other therapists before Merrill Graham. Just because they were not the right fit, does mean they were bad. Everyone feels comfortable with different styles and approaches. Personally, I highly recommend Merrill Graham. She is respectful, trustworthy, works hard for your best interests, and is highly invested in what she does. Even when there have been a couple occasions where we have disagreed, I have never doubted her sincere interest in what is best for me. Therapy is relational. I think it would be extremely odd if there were not occasional blips that needed to be worked through. It is part of the process too. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in quality care.
