        DO NOT USE THIS THERAPIST. His primary concern is money not helping. he was recommended by my son's pediatrician. I agreed to an evaluation during a very emotional time for both my son and I. Once I had a chance to consider everything that Mr. Swain suggested, I changed my mind and did not want to continue with his service. He refused to refund $1800 for an evaluation that he had not completed or even STARTED, stating that we had entered into a legally binding agreement with him. These are peoples lives, not a lease on an automobile. We were forced to use him because he refused to return our money. He sees people as cash cows. DO NOT USE THIS MAN. DO NOT WALK? RUN.

        Mr. Ben Swain is a very gifted psychotherapist. He helped me and my wife get through a very hard time. He had the insight and the experience to guide us when we could not; I am grateful that we found someone who is honest , professional, understanding, and genuine. We would highly recommend him!

        Excellent Therapist

        Mr.Swain is a phenominal therapist. He is very experienced and has a way of making you feel very confortable. When I went to see him at first, I was very confused and didn't know which way to turn. My self-esteem and confidence inmyself was at an all-time low. He helped me to sort out my feelings and I was able to see things more clearly and make the right decision for my situation.
