Lani Ete, M

I saw Lani several times. As others have stated she is disorganized and each session was like starting from square one and reminding her what we discussed. I wanted to focus on my anxiety and depression but the conversations often focused elsewhere or had little focus at all. The little progress I did make was mostly me just reflecting on my own feelings afterward but I don’t attribute this to her. There were times in which her replies to my thoughts or feelings seemed callous and there were a few instances in which she actually laughed when I expressed some of my irrational/anxious thoughts. She also provided some heavy advice only 3-4 sessions in that did cause some harm to my relationship with my significant other and was rushed at best. If you are looking for a sounding board she kind of listens but overall will not provide you support, insight, or any sense of personal progress towards positive mental health. I wish I had stopped going to her sooner and found another therapist.

Wonderful therapist! Listened to my issues and helped me recognize my triggers of PTSD

The worst therapist and professional I have ever worked with. She never remembered any topics we discussed and the first 10 minutes was me reminding her the things we talked about and the assignment she gave me. She is not in the now with current events and when I said I was married to a woman or was going to (gay marriage) she replied with oh but you can’t get married? Oh when did that change... and I was like 2 years ago... not culturally sensitive, lack of tact, and she is not organized.

Nice lady but didn't listen to me like i wanted her too. Also, office is cluttered which didn't help my anxiety, ironically, because that's one of my problems.
