Desert Sage Health, PLLC

This place charges a arm and a leg for the initial consultation after a couple of visits they kept canceling our visits because the doctor was out sick so they would schedule us out a month out. So now 2 months without being seen. never rescheduled us with another doctor terrible service. Don’t go here!!!

❌❌❌❌❌ ERASMO RODRIGUEZ, LPC ❌❌❌❌❌ is careless and sloppy in his practice. He 💤💤💤 FELL ASLEEP 💤💤💤 during a session! The first session was all of the informed consents and technical information about the EMDR therapy he was supposed to be providing. At several visits, I asked when we would actually start the EMDR. Every time ... "Next visit." Well, there will be no NEXT visit with this ... incompetent individual. ‼️‼️‼️ He FELL ASLEEP during a session. ‼️‼️‼️ I specifically watched him on what became the last visit, because I thought he might have been dozing off during the session before that. And then he actually ‼️FELL ASLEEP‼️ in what became our final session. I requested to see my treatment notes from my sessions with him. Over the course of my "treatment" with him, he incorrectly recorded factual and pertinent information, because he wasn't listening. His notes were completely disjointed, like he only remembered one detail, and it was an insignificant one that was irrelevant to "the big picture," because he wasn't listening. He failed to observe my body language, my speech patterns, or associated traumas and triggers. Because he was staring out the window day dreaming or he was nodding off or sleeping. I was there to seek support and healing from complex chronic PTSD and emotional abuse ... And all I wanted was to be seen, heard, understood. To have someone help me figure out why I feel this way. Someone to teach me how to manage those feelings in a positive way. And he violated all of the vulnerability and past traumas I shared with him. He made me rip off every emotional scab I have, in the name of treatment I NEVER received - and then nodded off during one session and full on FELL ASLEEP during another appointment. I am so hurt, so degraded. So violated and exposed. So raw and insulted. So disrespected and disregarded. All I wanted was help. He FELL ASLEEP. And now I have wasted TWO months of treatment time. I am now WORSE than when I started with him. I will stick with the practice because there ARE good providers there, and the front office and admin staff are fantastic. Dr. Kool, the clinical director and an owner of the practice, is seeing me now, and she and the staff have been extraordinary at making sure I NEVER have to see that inept napping noodle's abhorrent face again, even in the lobby. I genuinely hope he is helpful and beneficial to someone out there. I hope his cloddish dereliction of doctor-patient relationship isn't as ruinous to other patients as it was for me. I hope no one else has to suffer and have further damage inflected on their health by his inattentive and indifferent neglect. This hack "therapist" actually inflicted more pain while he violated every confidence, humiliated me by making me feel so insignificant and unimportant, and left me more defective than when I had the misfortune of being paired with him for EMDR. PLEASE, do not book an appointment with Erasmo, unless you want to feel worse about yourself in two months time. I will be filing a formal complaint with the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners and maybe they can offer this doltish amateur some basic treatment tips, like, maybe DON'T FALL ASLEEP while your clients are pouring their guts out!

From my initial appointment with the intake doctor to both virtual and in person appointment with Dr. Lori, I have been so pleased with Desert Sage. The intake consisted of a thorough battery of evaluations and inventories, allowing the doctor to pair me with the therapist that best meets my needs. Lori is wonderful. She is kind and attentive and adept. She remembers the most insignificant details of our conversations, presents solutions and modalities in an incredibly approachable way, and is just really, really pleasant to be around. So grateful to have found her.
