Catharsis LIfe Coaching and Clinical Hypnotherapy

This lady is HORRIFIC. I truly believe she suffers from a mental illness. I rarely do reviews, but feel like people should be warned. She will act superficially nice, and then turn on you like a viper. NOT professional at all. DO NOT GO TO THIS WOMAN.

Nina is awesome! Change– whether on a large or small scale– provides our most important opportunity for learning about ourselves and the nature of reality. Through individual therapy sessions with Nina, she has crafted a fulfilling and important path to understanding, healing and finding peace. She is kind-​hearted, admirable, encouraging and driven to provide me with advice and being supportive in helping me achieve my personal goals. I’m so glad I have a therapist I can trust!
Thanks Nina

The last reviewer got it right when she said that Nina Bingham is in the wrong profession. I got a Groupon for three sessions and went to two out of three, because I wanted to believe the first time was just a weird day for her. She was rude, arrogant and very stiff. She was also extremely condescending. Avoid this «therapist» unless you enjoy emotional abuse.
Nina insisted on diagnosing me, even after I told her I had no interest in and was uncomfortable with being diagnosed, and was there to just get help with issues in my life. What therapist tries to diagnose within the first two sessions, before even getting to know a client? She then tricked me into «diagnosing myself» with Asperger’s Syndrome (which may or may not be true to a mild degree, but that isn’t relevant.) Then, she proceeded to call me an «Aspie», which, unless you actually have it yourself and you actually have a friendly relationship with the person, is like calling someone with Schizophrenia a «Schizo». What «therapist» calls their clients names? I can’t believe how unprofessional this lady was! Also, after telling her (several times) that I did not want to be labeled, she actually said, «Well, that’s YOUR problem, not mine.»
At the end of the 2^nd session, she asked me how I felt about the session and I told her I didn’t feel like anything got accomplished. That’s when she got really defensive and started talking down to me even more, ripping apart my personality and making me feel threatened. This is supposed to be THERAPY? It was so traumatizing! I can’t even begin to explain how upset I am about this. It has caused nightmares. This lady seems emotionally sadistic and, in my opinion, needs professional help. Remember, everyone… there’s usually a reason why businesses feel the need to run Groupons.
Edit: A friend just pointed out that the «master’s program» she claims she is currently enrolled in (on her Unilocal bio) is an online school. That explains a lot, considering she doesn’t know how to interact with real people. She also lied and told me that she already had a master’s degree, even going as far to point and say, «Look at all the degrees on my wall.» when I disagreed with her.

I think this woman is in the wrong job. I saw her for hypnotherapy. Her manner was stiff, somewhat formal or «clinical.» For my first session I though maybe she was just having a bad day, so I went again, but had the same experience, which did NOT out me in a good frame of mind to have a relaxing hypno-​theraputic experience.
She is also difficult to reach, and does not respond to calls in a timely manner.
