  A terrific psychologist. Would recommend him to anyone. Warm, intelligent, funny, & wise. It’s easy to tell that he loves his job too.

  Dr. Cousins is a wonderful therapist. He is warm, observant, and non-judgemental. He provides evidence-based treatment that's known to work for your problem, while also flexibly working with your unique situation and needs. His 30+ years of experience really shows in his knowledge and skills. At the same time, he is humble and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor. He helped me make meaningful changes that have improved my relationship with myself and with others. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to make a positive change to their life.

  Dr. Cousins has been a cornerstone in helping me developed a better foundation and outlook on life not to mention my own self view. He communicates in a language and perspective that allows me to see myself and the world around me more effectively. I have gotten a tremendous amount out of therapy. I have recommended him to several people I know.

  This happened a year ago, but the encounter still haunts me to this day as I pursue my degree to become a social worker. I sought therapy to help equip me with tools and coping mechanisms through school. Blinded by the title of a PhD and price tag, I expected premium services. There was a discrepancy with the insurance, and he even offered to work with me. Then I sat in his chair and vented. No reflective listening, no validation, and no summary. I don't even know if he was listening. I expected him to be clinical, but he didn't even offer any potential tools for my goals. Second session: he completely forgot about the payment arrangement but told me I forgot. At the end of the session, he charged me for the current session and collected the rest for the last session. I had to walk to an ATM to pay him in cash. I was in tears the whole way. I just vented my life story to him and he metaphorically shook me like I was his ATM. He offered me no guidance for the future, and the majority of his feedback offered more of a bleak picture rather than anything insightful or useful. I didn't hurt anyone or do anything wrong, I was just struggling through school because of my ADHD. This sort of problem-based therapy reduces people to their problems rather than any strengths or solutions and I felt that. Instead, he used my own words against me. No remorse, no resources, just this $400 dragged out horrible experience that left a bad taste in my mouth for over priced PhD therapists. When I become a therapist, I vow to never treat anyone like this.

  Dr. Cousins is a really good doctor. Helped me better understand my situation, relieved my stress and never once made me feel hopeless. I would recommended people to come here. Very knowledgeable doctor.
