Overall Experience
The reviews about First Step Counseling are mixed, with some customers expressing extreme dissatisfaction, while others have extremely positive experiences. The key factor that sets these reviews apart is the interaction with the staff, particularly Nikki and Patti.
Positive Comments
The majority of reviews praise the counseling services provided by Patti, citing her as an "amazing" and "incredible" therapist. Many customers appreciate the welcoming and judgment-free environment provided by the staff. Some customers also commend Nikki for her expertise in handling legal and financial matters.
Negative Comment
On the other hand, one reviewer, Brandon Brownell, had a horrible experience due to the owner's poor handling of legal and financial matters. He explicitly states that he would never recommend the counseling services to anyone and would rather spend extra money elsewhere.
Neutral Comments
Some reviewers simply express their gratitude and appreciation for the services provided by First Step Counseling without mentioning any specific issues or concerns.
