Mental Health Professionals - Peabody, MA

"Would frequently have outbursts over ANY call after hours that infringed on his home time. I was in ill health for some of the time while I saw Dr. Tsappis, and called Dr. Tsappis's private cell number (which he gave me) about 5 times over three years. And he yelled at me most of those times. Yelled at my parents for calling.\r \r Never got a diagnosis. Dr. Michael Tsappis would change the diagnosis. He would tell me I was not impaired. He told me it wasn't important that I know what I had "what!?" Then he told me I had severe cognitive deficits, but that he also had cognitive deficits and he did all right for himself. This is not a recognizable form of mental health care. \r \r Did not communicate with therapist, even though he threatened to cease communicating with my insurance company, and stop seeing me on the spot, if I did not see his choice of therapist. Then he vowed not to see me if I did not improve with each appointment. I was in my early twenties. I was being treated for cancer at the time. That was heartless. And the worst part is I'm not some angry troll. I actually didn't realize how deviant this was at the time - I was too stressed and immature.\r \r It ended up being a bad an harmful experience."
