Testimonials

Best Counselor Ever! I have been seeing Carla Poindexter for almost 5 years, and she is amazing. If you have tried counseling and given up, or if you have never tried it, she would be an awesome therapist for you. I once thought that counseling was a waste of time until I encountered her. As an African American, I sometimes found it difficult to relate to certain backgrounds and upbringings. Carla, being African American herself, was able to relate, educate, and guide me to a healthier way of thinking and handling issues from my past. It has been a hard journey but well worth it! I am so glad that I was referred to her. Check her out; you won’t regret it!

My family and I have been with Carla for about a year. I've gained an unbiased outside perspective, encouragement, and come to grips with some difficult truths that I might not have realized on my own. I've been able to set boundaries and take better care of myself mentally and emotionally. My daughter, who shows symptoms of ADHD, has been able to communicate her needs more effectively through therapy sessions, share her feelings more consistently, and learn to self-soothe and allow herself grace.

Carla Poindexter’s services have helped me grow a lot, and I feel that I have learned a great deal from her. Mrs. Poindexter has been my therapist for about six years now, and there has never been a moment when I didn’t trust her judgment. I know that I can always get honest and unbiased opinions from her. Mrs. Poindexter is always the person I go to when I need guidance, as I always receive it from her. I would highly recommend others to take part in Poindexter Therapy services.

I started seeing Carla for several issues going on in my life.

I had depression, anxiety, anger issues, and was addicted to gambling. I knew I needed some kind of help but didn’t know where to start. I was also too afraid and ashamed to talk to anyone at the time. Carla was always available to talk whenever I needed extra help.

She never missed any of my appointments and always spoke in a manner that made me comfortable with her words and explanations. I have been working with Carla since 2019, so it’s going on 5 years. Even during COVID, we had phone calls that kept me staying the course.

What has really helped in my treatment process is that Carla seems to have all the answers for my situation. For example, with my gambling addiction, she set an allowance each week for me. Instead of betting hundreds of dollars, I went down to $50 a week. Then, before I knew it, $50 turned into zero. She has also given me homework and small tasks each week to deal with my anger and anxiety.

Not only would I recommend her 100%, but I have also recommended her to 3 of my family members.

I trust Carla 110% with my treatment and care. She goes all out for her patients if they are committed to her treatment plan. I feel heard, and I believe Carla has my best interests in mind with my treatment. Carla has definitely helped me set certain boundaries and has held me accountable if I did not follow through with them.

My name is William, and I have been under the care of Carla for almost a year now. I must say that she is the best, in my opinion. Before I began having sessions with her, I didn't want to talk about any of the past trauma I had been subjected to. With her help, I have reached a point where I'm comfortable discussing it.

From day one, I was 110% on board with whatever approach she wanted to take with my treatment. That's because she didn't talk to me; she talked to me, and there's a big difference between the two.

Another reason I was fully committed to working with her is because she said to me, "If you stick with me, I will stick with you, and we will get through this together." That meant so much to me because here was someone I had never met before, and she was willing to take on my problems to help me work through them. To me, that is a special kind of person.

I appreciate that she doesn't let me get away with anything. If we talk about something that's a little stressful, she will back off, but you can be sure she will come back to it. This is really important because if you don't work through something completely, it will continue to be a problem.

I would most definitely recommend her to others. Not once have I ever felt like she wasn't listening or paying attention to me. Whenever we talk about some of the things I'm dealing with, she always finds something in her life that relates to my story. That helps me, as she shows that it's a two-way street. To me, the most important part of therapy is knowing that you are not alone, and she makes herself available for you to reach out if you're having a bad day.

It's little things like that that help. To tell the truth, had I not met Carla, I don't know where I would be.

From day one I was 110% on board with whatever way she wanted to go with my treatment, and that's because she didn't talk at me she talked to me and it's a big difference between the two . 

And another reason why I was all in with her is because she said to me ( if you stick with me I will stick with you and we will get through this together) and that meant so much to me because here it is some who we have never met before and she is willing to take on my problems to help me get through it! That to me is a special kind of person.

I like that she doesn't let me get away with anything meaning if we talk about something and it's a little bit stressful she will back off but you can best believe she come back to it , and that's really important because if you don't get through something all the way it will continue to be a problem for you .

I would most definitely recommend her for others not one time have I ever felt like she wasn't listening or paying attention to me, whenever we would talk about some of the things I'm dealing with she always find something in her life that kinda relates to my story and that helps me as well because she is letting it be known that it's a two way street , and to me that's the most important part of therapy is knowing that you are not alone and she makes herself available for you to reach out if your having a bad day . 

It's little things like that that helps and to tell the truth, had I not met Carla I don't know where I would be.
