A Note on Client Feedback

Transparency is central to our practice ethos. Over recent months, several clients have shared constructive concerns that we take seriously. Some individuals described certain staff interactions as more directive than therapeutic, while others advised verifying counselor licensure to ensure each professional holds the proper credentials. A few patrons felt that specific in-office exercises missed the mark, coming across as counterproductive rather than empowering. Administrative and legal procedures—including treatment agreements and third-party assessments like polygraph exams—have also prompted questions around procedural fairness and independence. Finally, in an age where online reviews can be heavily curated, a number of voices have urged prospective clients to consult a variety of feedback sources before making a decision.

Our Collaborative Approach

At Reading Specialists, we view therapy as a partnership built on mutual respect and clear communication. During your initial consultation, we’ll map out your goals, review confidentiality guidelines, and discuss how progress will be measured. Whether you’re seeking short-term relief from stress or longer-term exploration of personal patterns, our clinicians adjust methods—such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or narrative therapy—to align with your style and objectives. We welcome your ongoing input about what’s working and what may require adjustment, ensuring you remain an empowered participant in your own healing journey.

Commitment to Professional Standards

Delivering ethical, high-quality care is nonnegotiable. We encourage every prospective client to ask detailed questions about:
• Licensure and certification—confirm that your chosen counselor meets Pennsylvania’s rigorous professional requirements.
• Continuing education—learn how our team stays current with the latest research and therapeutic techniques.
• Clinic policies—understand appointment scheduling, confidentiality agreements, and any administrative procedures before beginning treatment.

By fostering a climate of openness and accountability, Reading Specialists strives to earn—and keep—your trust.
