I don't normally write reviews, but seeing someone below claim that all the negative reviews here are fake had me rolling my eyes. Look, people have different tastes. I do think it's possible that Dr. Vallee's style works for some people. That was not my experience, and every single person I've ever shared my experience with has been aghast. When I read the reviews of people sharing stories of her conflicts of interest etc. I am not surprised at all. That fits completely with the personality I experienced. First of all, she was late for my appointment (pre-covid), then when she eventually came out of her office, she completely ignored me, and instead chatted with her previous client in front of me in the waiting area for several minutes (when it was already several minutes past my appointment time!). Then, over the few times I saw her, she was the most dismissive, unprofessional and terrible listener I have ever encountered. I'll hazard a guess based on my experience, and seeing her chat with that other client before me, that perhaps she just takes more of an interest in some clients and the others she just... doesn't really care? Again, trying to acknowledge that maybe some people have had good experiences with Dr. Vallee. And I also think it's fair to say many have not. To say that negative reviews are fake is a bit tone deaf. Anyway, I have another therapist now who is a million times better, and is someone who I actually feel cares. (and yeah, if you're curious, I also told her about my experience with Dr. Vallee in more detail than here, and she was genuinely shocked. So, again, not just me.) Wishing everyone luck in finding a therapist that works for them, and helps them get to where they'd like to be!

Any reveiws that doesn't mention Dr.Vallee by name is a copy and paste scheme to ransom there office later for money to remove the reviews. My experience with Dr Vallée has never seen any of the behavior mentioned in the negative reveiws that's don't mention her by name as there are pasted on other doctors pages word for word. She is the best therapist I have ever had, she provides all types of therapy and changes the tempo of things based on how your doing or progressing. When I've be in crisis she slows it down and helps me understand or gives it to me one step at a time at a rate I can function with and when I'm more functional she speeds things up more and gives me allot more accountability. This mix she does has pushed me to be more functional and stable then I've ever been. I'm 28 for reference and have been troubled from a young age and at 15 I started to become suicidal, no one was able to help me or put it together until I started seeing Dr Vallee. I like to argue, it's in my nature but I can't argue with her results.

Can see by the other comments that some people really do find her helpful, and that's O.K. but in my experience she's terrible.
Perhaps for someone that just needs a listener she'd be helpful, but for someone who needs a serious diagnosis she's totally inadequate.

Dr. Vallee helped me with my depression and anxiety by providing me with “homework” to do on my own time that really helped speed up the process. I found her to be very knowledgeable, decisive and I could tell that she always takes a personal interest in making sure her patients quality of life improves. If you’re looking for someone to just listen to problems without really digging into your issues, you may be better off going somewhere else. I would definitely say I feel much more prepared to face my challenges after meeting with Lynne.

I spoke to her about my problems I am having hard time with, she consistently would bring up her past problems and how her problems she faced were worse than my own.. I left my appointment feeling way worse than when I came in.

I found her to be very confrontational and unprofessional. One visit was enough for me.

Extremely unprofessional and oppressive. She and I had a huge conflict of interest as she pretended not to know a person I was seeing her about. The situation I was having with that person was so horrible and I couldn’t understand why she kept defending them to the point that she became defensive. I later found out they are good friends and she had said nothing to me about it. That’s when her irrational reactions made more sense and I felt very betrayed by her. She comes across as cold, pompous, uneducated for her line of work and makes you feel like she will drop you as a client at any moment if you don’t do what she says. She was pushing a treatment on me that was against everything I believe in and it was her way or the highway which was oppressive, not helpful or effective. She did not read the confidentiality piece on our first appointment as she is supposed to. I wouldn’t be surprised if she told her friend what we discussed. I highly do NOT recommend her. I’ve seen another Psychologist in Sarnia and another in London who were both excellent. There was no comparison in their level of warm professionalism.

Dr V helped me at a time when others doctors didn’t seem to understand what I was going through. I got my life back and it didn’t take very long. She gave me homework to work on which really sped things up. I would recommend her and I would go back if I needed

Dr. Vallee has helped me with my anxiety and depression... she knows when to push and when not too. She has helped me through a lot..... Other reviewers have mentioned that she talks too much about herself. She does talk about herself but it has been, for me, to help me see that a situation is not as bad as I imagine it to be and to relate with me. I would not be getting the help that I need if my psychologist was impersonal. I need to connect.
