This review is aimed at Julie Nardi, who is absolutely a part of this business - see gardencitycouples.com.
I visited Julie Nardi, last year. She was by far the most unprofessional therapist I can imagine. I went in for joint counseling with my wife. Seconds before she started, she mentioned to my wife that she thinks she remembers her and they discovered she had done individual counseling several years back and even recalled the issues they spoke about.
At that point the session should have been over as she was not objective, but i was not given that option. What commenced was a very abrasive and combative session. Nardi provided such fun insights as "there is no such thing as compromise" or "you should implement how you want to parent and your spouse will have to deal with it".
I politely questioned this horrible device. She sparred with me the entire time. I left there thinking i had done something wrong and my wife even said that it was obvious she didn't like me, but i agreed to go again.
The following week, we went to the appointment and she let us know that she actually wasn't a provider in our insurance network and tha we would have to proceed on a cash basis, do we want to continue? at that point we decided to just get out of there, which surprisingly she had another appointment waiting there already, like this was pre planned.
I then reached out to her several weeks later and asked for my payment of the initial session back. She thought about it, consulted with her husband (stube) and got back to me that she did nothing wrong and there would be no refund.
He tries to distance himself from her on the web, but they are in a business together so this reflects on him as well. This seems to be their game, where if anything negative happens, its always the clients fault. I'm a successful business man and give people the benefit of the doubt. I gave Julie Nardi the opportunity to do the right thing but after initially considering it, was advised by her husband and business partner to stonewall me.
She has no business giving anyone professional advice and is a detriment to the therapist community.
