My thoughts are
1. If a therapist has inconsistent reviews with a 5+ sample size, then the experience is likely inconsistent and very YMMV.
2. If a therapist is consistently highly recommended, then you’re more than likely going to consistently get a great experience from them. There are some therapist reviews with a lot of high marks from folks here.
3. If a therapist is consistently receiving negative reviews, that is up to them to take that and make a better experience.
I actually find the uncensored reviews here have been more helpful than Mf or RM reviews. 95% of the time when that a chance on a therapist providing an inconsistent experience, it’s usually what I get.
end of the day: YMMV.
