Granda-Gilbert Denise Psychologist

There aren’t enough words to describe what a monster this person is.
My first time there, she had forgotten that we had an appointment. That type of scheduling confusion and lack of professionalism was constant throughout the months I was her patient. Meanwhile, if I was running late, she’d berate me and insult me. This knowing that I live over an hour away by public transport, and have lost access to a car.
She never took notes, and though she’d remember some things, she’d completely forget entire sessions we’d had. It was difficult and brave and important for me to talk to someone about my traumas, and I would, and at the moment she’s be understanding, and ten she’d forget.
She was hard of hearing due to what she claims is a brain tumor, and yet she wouldn’t believe me, or anyone else when they’d tell her she misheard.
She was always abusive towards her receptionist, calling him stupid and blaming her shortcomings on him.
She never diagnosed me with anything, but then if I disagreed with her she’d throw around serious diagnoses like insults. When id ask what behaviors of mine were making her think I had these «disorders» she had no answers.
She was racist, multiple times. She was a victim blaming rape apologist. She would often tell me personal details about her life. Sometimes they were pertinent to what was going on in mine, and sometimes hey were so out of left field id have to remind her what we were talking about.
I know about her days getting her toes sucked at plato’s retreat, about her ex husband’s heroin addiction, and many other things.
She cursed constantly, and had called me «not a human being.»
She has literally fallen asleep during a session.
The sad thing is that I came to her in such dire need of a therapist, and my insurance would only cover her or one other therapist who was not taking new patients.
This woman has been a monster. A monster. She knows nothing about me, and literally made «waaaah waaaahhh «noises making fun of me because I was crying.
My life is much worse because of her, and that’s saying something because I went to her in shambles.
She’s about 100 years old and is not long get fit to practice, if she ever was.
It’s bad news. She doesn’t even deserve one star, but the app won’t allow it any other way.

I contacted Dr. Grand-​Gilbert to discuss issues my 10-​year old son was having related to my divorce. I would highly recommend you STAY AWAY from her. My only contact with her was a 10-​minute «get to know you» phone conversation but that was enough: she is rude, biased, judgmental and dismissive. She offered her opinion in fields she had no experience in (legal matters). When I told her that I had been divorced for more than 6 years, she said that was a long time ago, that he (my son) should have gotten over it. I think she got her degree from «Howard Stern’s Psychotherapy School.».
