Rhoberta Michaels, LCPC

Rhoberta is tough, she will call you out. Overall, I appreciate her approach even though I don't always like it when it's happening. However, she sometimes gets tunnel vision in trying to make a point, not always acknowledging the nuances of a specific situation. Not a very validating therapist but she gave me some useful tools. Not who you want to go to if you're recovering from narcissistic abuse.

Rhoberta is OK. I wanted to like her but in session she would repeatedly ask me things like "Why I was in therapy?" or say things like "She was surprised I didn't have more friends I was so normal" which never felt great to hear. Due to lack of open schedules of therapists in PDX in general, I would need to take time off work for mid day appts, which is fine, I was putting my health first. There was a time she forgot our appt (& ignored me in the waiting room) and I was gracious about her forgetting even though it kept me away from work. Then few weeks later I completely forgot an appointment (100% my fault) however she never called or text me, only promptly sent me a no show bill for $100. I paid it as I understood her policy but again then she never bothered to check in on me in any way. I haven't made another appointment since she had zero follow up, it sent the message I wasn't a priority. Im writing this b/c it is so hard to find good available therapists and reviews are lacking.
