Dr. Celia A. Drake, PhD - Phoenix, Arizona

I read the reviews on multiple sites before coming here and thought it couldn't be that bad but.. I should've listened. Her receptionist told me contradictory things to what Dr Drake told me when I arrived to the session and I ended up wasting time/money/energy dealing with their inconsistencies. She also tried to over-extend the number of sessions needed (once she found out how many I was entitled to through my workplace) just to make a simple accommodation request for my workplace to move my desk. Very unprofessional and did not care at all.

Worst experience ever both times we saw her. She could not even remember anything talked about the prior week so could not build off previous appointment and rather was like a first sit down appointment again. Maybe if she looked at the notes she had taken it could have been better, however, she is very rude and off-putting as well.

Elizabeth Chelsea -- I concur fully that Drake oversteps professional boundaries, while reporting WILD inaccuracies she dreams up in her own overly-confident brain. Her decision-making lacks credibility and she herself has integrity issues. You are also welcome to report her to the board that manages licensing and/or they can send her back to Cali where she can sit cross-legged on the floor chanting OM.

I am surprised she didn't recommend yoga to you as she does for literally everything else. Drake is snide, condescending and a danger to bi-racial youth seeking assistance for bullying in school. My niece couldn't stand her. She was cold, abrupt and peeling wallpaper at home will get you better results on your own.

AGREED Chelsea, "Worst counselor I have ever been to. Do not take your kids here. My daughter is a victim of child abuse by her father and her counselor asked me how I felt about it, when I told her she shamed me for my response and then reported my response to police breaking confidentiality laws."

Horrible human who siphons Corporate insurance regurgitating her own stupid California yoga mantra. She is a cultist to be extremely avoided with data.

Would not recommend this office for any reason. Staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. They need a new staff especially the secretary Lauren. I would not recommend wasting your time or money at this office.

I had the misfortune to be her client 1995-98. Back then I was more reluctant to fire bad therapists because I believed it was important to put them in their place. In retrospect, I should have fired her sooner. When I saw her, she worked for a corrupt clinic called Arizona Community Psychiatric Group. She was one of the rudest and most intolerant therapists I’ve ever seen. Many times she would tell me “stop it” like an abusive grandmother. Both she and the clinic took advantage of people like me for our insurance money and were not interested in helping me. After I stopped seeing her at that clinic I ended up more messed up than before I began seeing her. I was fired from a corrupt brokerage employer in 1997 and she defended them saying I was a lousy worker and defended their right to make me sign a confidential non-disparagement agreement even though they continued disparaging me after I left. The truth is I have a permanent psychiatric disability and have autism and I should be collecting Social Security Disability but she was against it. She almost pushed me to suicide in 1997. At the suggestion of a more level-headed group therapist I saw at the clinic, I filed a complaint against her with her state licensing board. I got a letter from her lawyer informing me my complaint was dismissed with prejudice by the board. Afterwards, I concluded female psychologists are the devil incarnate and would never allow another one to treat me again.

I have been seeing Celia for over six years now, and never have I seen a better therapist. From the first moment that I met her, I felt very welcomed and taken care of. She is smart, funny and caring. My life has improved since seeing her, and I hope yours does too.

My experience was very positive, not at all the ways the reviews I read led me to believe. Dr. Drake was professional, courteous and kind to me. I never felt rushed or insulted ever! I would definitely recommend Dr. Drake.
