Kimberly Corbett PSYD MFT

She spouts her opinions and judgements as if they were facts. If you have always wanted to appear on Judge Judy or perhaps the Maury Show, she is your gal. It certainly takes the uncomfortable vulnerability out of therapy, because you won’t get much of a chance to speak.
If you are looking for professional mental health services where your priorities and opinions will be heard, definitely look elsewhere.

Dr. Corbett is insensitive and showed no empathy. She is also unprofessional and has no filter. For instance, she says the first thing that comes to her mind without thinking how this affects me as a client. She cannot control her emotions and does not hesitate to share her biases. For example, if you are a pet lover, don’t share that with her because she will chastise you as she did with me.
She is LOUD, dominates the conversation, and insists on being right all the time. It is her way or the highway. As a client, I could barely get a word in. In fact, she talks about herself and her family a lot and my needs are put aside. It is all about HER, HER, HER!
I thought that psychologists are supposed to validate clients’ feelings and not judge them. The opposite is true for her… She will berate me then give me a lecture on what I’m supposed to feel. As a result, I feel belittled and judged,
Dr. Corbett is constantly late and she does not even apologize each time it happens. To illustrate, I will be waiting for almost half an hour because either she is not in the office yet or she is with another client. Despite the inconvenience, she will simply brush it off or not say anything. Hence, I feel disrespected and devalued as a client.
She DOES NOT RESPECT PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY. For example, she readily shares her former clients’ issues/​problems especially those who left her a negative review. She tells me stories about their life which is inappropriate and UNETHICAL. Further, She shares information about her current clients behind their backs.
I am a patient person and gave her several chances to improve. However, the sessions got worse and worse… I was stressed out during our sessions because I do not know when she will blow up and yell at me. One of the most therapeutic things that I did to myself was to stop seeing her. I realized that she did more harm than good. If only I read her reviews beforehand, there is no way in the world that I would see her! Looking back, I can relate with other clients who left a negative review because I experienced them myself.
Finally, I won’t be surprised if her license gets revoked one of these days because of her UNETHICAL and UNPROFESSIONAL behavior. She is the worse psychologist that I’ve ever met.

I’ve only had one session with Dr. Corbett, but it was enough to realize she was not the right therapist for me. We had made our first appointment at a time convenient enough where I could get to class on time, and she knew what time I had class also. Anyway, she showed up 30 minutes late as I had to wait outside her office. Then, during our session, she talked so much and so loud making me feel so uncomfortable. She also knew it was my first therapy session (which took me a lot of courage to reach out for help, and most first time patients are nervous anyway) but she did not take that into consideration. Every time I talked she would overpower me with her thoughts and would make me feel stupid for how I was feeling. She would curse, and make jokes when I wanted to be taken more seriously considering when someone goes to see a therapist they’re not in the greatest state of mind. Then for our second appointment she had texted me saying she might be late again. I didn’t even go. From my bad experience, I have yet to seek help again in fear of how psychologists might be. I’m hoping someday I can find someone who truly has the desire to help me. This is not a doctor who seemed empathetic or caring. I also want to be a psychologist myself and she told me that she wouldn’t be afraid to tell me if I’m not good enough to be a psychologist. A doctor who shoots down someone’s dreams? Yeah, way to make me feel better.

I hardly think a therapist who takes up 40 minutes of paid time to go over standard disclosure issues is worth anyone’s time. Other medical professionals merely have you sign a written disclosure. I should have seen the warning signs before meeting with her. She flaked on my 1^st visit without even calling, texting, or e-​mailing me about her «emergency», a complete disregard for my time. For the 10 minutes that I did have with her proved to be more than enough time to assess her therapeutic compassion. She was callus, detached, and appeared to be aloof regarding my concerns. Last I checked, I was the patient paying for her services. A therapist is supposed to provide a save haven for introspective growth and healing. She made me feel like I was in front of the Principal after doing something wrong. Now that, to me, is NOT a competent therapist. When I spoke about how I was feeling about the recent loss of my dog after 15 years, she rebutted that «well at least it was not your child». REALLY?, a trained therapist actually invalidated my feelings for my pet! I guess she does not believe in the proven effects of Therapy Dogs either. The final «nail in the coffin» for me (No pun intended) was when she labeled me as «Morbid» for keeping an urn of my dogs ashes in my home. She obviously does not have an understanding of the $ 60 Billion a year industry of pet owners who would disagree with her ignorant statement. Stay away, especially if you are a pet lover. She will vilify you for not agreeing with her narrow-​minded viewpoints. She also claims that her not showing up for therapy was an accident. This was the second time… the first time I was late and she sat in her office and did not come out to greet or meet me for my remaining time. I should have known better!

I have nothing but praise for dr. Corbett. She helped me and guided me trough a horrible family crises and I would recommend her whole heartedly to everyone I love and care for.
Yes, she is very opinionated, yes she is firm and she cuts straight trough BS!!! If you want your doctor to be a hippocratic woos that only tells you what you wanna hear, of course, blaming everything on your Mama, smiling and doing drawings of his new swimming pool that he’ll buy with your sorry a_​_​money, then; this is a wrong place for you.
Dr. C gave me professional guidance and very practical tools and advice on how to
make my life easier and better, and with her help and both of our effort, I achieved peace and harmony and overcame chaos that almost ruined me!
She is very PRACTICAL, and when you need help, you don’t want someone who’s gonna recite and quote chapters of psychology books, you want REAL PRACTICAL HELP, so you can step out of her office and use it!!!
My marriage is saved and I’m a proud and strong mother of a happy and brave sone whose life was spared so much pain and disappointment with the help of Dr. Kim Corbett. I trust her. I respect her.

I sent my son here to work on some anxiety issues. I agree with the previous reviewer that Dr. Corbett is a bit quirky, but she helped my son, and myself, and that’s all that matters. My son suffered from some pretty serious anxiety problems. If I was 5 minutes late to pick him up from school he would be sobbing on the ground thinking that I was dead and that’s why I wasn’t there. He would cry for 2 hours a night about his worries. We saw Dr. Corbett every week for 6 months and my son was basically cured. Sometimes I see shades of his anxiety, but hardly ever and it’s totally manageable. I highly recommend her based on that experience. I feel as if this was an awesome parenting move on my part– if more people’s parents helped them with their issues as kids we’d have a lot more mentally healthy adults!

Dr. Corbett has a lot of clients. Most of them aren’t going to post a review, ever, because they don’t want the world to know they are in therapy. But there is something to be said for the people that legitimately try and improve themselves; though, granted, some are just going through the motions to make themselves feel better about hurting others.
Therapy is expensive. There are no two ways about that. Consider the time and patience that went into Dr. Corbett’s education, as well as the patience required to listen to several people a day whine about their problems, while she deals with her own, including raising kids of her own, without letting that creep back home with her every day. Could you handle it? What would that be worth to you?
Yes, Dr. Corbett is a bit «quirky,» for those of you raised here on the Left Coast where everything is sunshine and rainbows and nobody ever tells you anything but what they think you wanna hear. Sometimes, what we see when we look in the mirror is ugly; that’s why we go to therapists in the first place. But if you expect anyone to wave a magic wand and wipe away that ugliness, well, maybe drugs are for you, which is something that Dr. Corbett AVOIDS prescribing, unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, you’re gonna hafta look right at it, or call some New Age wackadoo «life coach.» Be sure and feed your unicorn before you do, because you’re gonna be throwing money down the toilet that could have been spent on ice cream, a hand job, or an equally effective pick-​me-​up.
I can’t stand all the phony people out here in Neverland, and sometimes I’m afraid of losing my point of view in all of it. So, for me, to have someone who sees it like it oughta be, and is there to help me find ways of dealing with it that keep me out of the gun shop, I’m ready to shell out as much as I can, as often as I can. I never ask her to cut the mustard, I wanna hear the truth, even when it’s rough; because I want to be a better person, not another phony.

complete nutball. should have known who she was, professionally, when she choose $ over a patient. Controlling, opinionated bully. When she’s unable to control situation, she gives up. I would never, NEVER, recommend her to anyone. Stay away, unless you want to be treated by an unprofessional, poorly educated, fraud.
