Reasons reported by Yelp for Removing Reviews of Samaritan Counseling Center

yelpreviews

Hurts every time that Samaritan Counseling won’t let me talk. It’s cruel and unethical to avoid an important discussion. David Olsen trains therapists of Samaritan Institute and Jenness Clairmont is on the NYS Office of Professions licensing board, and neither of them bothered to respond to my complaint in a reasonable manner.

Imagine if Samaritan Counseling has been handling feedback this way since 1985! Every single Samaritan Counseling Center seems to provide ‘addiction’ services, and that treatment is clearly 12-step ‘Facilitation’ (aka coercive indoctrination). That means in 2013, I had no way of knowing whether anybody had a similar bad experience there, because there are zero reviews to be found, even after 25+ years in business! I did find this one.

Hi Tom,

Your review was brought to our attention by the Yelp community, and we found that it fell outside our Content Guidelines because it did not provide enough detail about your customer experience.
