Sparkle Reed, LPC

She is the best therapist I've ever worked with, when I completed my therapy, I asked my son to go work with her, she was able to help repair my relationship with my son and helped us both through a really tough time. She is very caring and compassionate and she is the most knowledgeable therapist I have had the pleasure working with. She does not force medication and she doesn't rush anyone, she always says 'we go at your pace not mine' and when we were doing trauma work and I had to talk about something hard, she always comforted me by saying 'we don't have to live there long, you tell me when you want to stop', I'm in tears writing this because I know she has helped hundreds of people and this site doesn't do her justice, I recommend her 1000%, she will be your biggest advocate even against yourself.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! I arrived to my first appointment and had a few questions. The questions were 1)do you conduct evidence based treatment for PTSD? She responded that she had a focus in Trauma Informed CBT. And I asked for more information following the first appointment. I asked her how many patients she had and she could not provide me with a concrete answer. Leading me to believe that she has a lot of patients and does not have time for new ones. After receiving a link about TI CBT that referenced PE/CPT I wanted clarification about if this is something that she is well versed in. To which she responded that most people don’t ask for those specific therapies. This confused me, because PE/CPT are evidence based treatments. So I inquired if there was a time limit for these treatments and what other therapies fall within the TI-CBT umbrella for which she claims to have been practicing for over ten years. And the information I received was generated by AI. This woman is so busy that she cannot formulate a human generated response. Appalled that the therapist who would be leading me through this therapy does not even have the time to write something from her own mind. Given the over ten years of experience, I expected to receive a response from her mind. But it’s obvious she does not have the time. And instead of responding to my message to clarify what she meant by the message that was AI generated, she claimed that I had verbally abused her. For real? You feel verbally abused when someone else points out the obvious AI generated response? I had inquired about more information regarding the supposed evidence based treatment she provided called CETA. But with a quick Google search discovered that this type of treatment is NOT evidence based. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. You will receive AI generated information. And if I wanted to get treatment from a robot, I would do so. I don’t think it’s an appropriate way to use AI. She never answered my question about the evidence based treatments because the therapy she was going to have me do is NOT evidence based trauma therapy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

If your child needs therapy for which friend hurt their feelings over their outfit of the day, then Sparkle is for you....but if you need REAL therapy, trauma therapy or anything legitimate, go elsewhere. Sparkle told a parent "I don't have enough time to address all your kids issues"...4 years, no change in the child...says the 14 year should determine when she's ready for trauma therapy, it's been 8 years and child is deteriorating...isn't that what you're employed for? Waste of time and money, go elsewhere.

Sparkle was inattentive, rushed and overall not interested in helping. Worst therapist I have seen.
