She spends the entire time talking about herself, her education, articles, book, vacations, blah blah blah. I should have been paid to listen to her.

when you go for help you are looking for someone to really listen and understand you. Listening does not involved just waiting for me to shut up so she can talk. I know more about her family, books, and credentials then she knows about me and my needs. I know we all have different personalities and we don't all mesh but a therapist should at least work at trying to figure it out. I had the feeling more than once that she was not at all interested in helping, that she just didn't want to bother with me. She is very intelligent and I believe she does know her stuff, she just needs to stop talking long enough to listen, to wait for us to clear our thoughts and express them. I just hope that others clients sessions go more successful than mine and that people can really be helped.

I found Linda Hancock to be helpful and practical. She pinpointed the issues to be dealt with and laid out a plan for me to follow. She was kind and yet firm. I really enjoyed our sessions.

Went in for severe anxiety, and all she seemed to do was talk about herself, her trips, her books, nothing relevent to my problem or ways to over come it.

Linda is kind and compassionate. She can not be all things to all people. Medicine Hat is lucky to have her.

I have been meeting with Dr. Hancock for a few months and have found her to be extremely helpful. I especially appreciated how she applied her personal experiences to my issues whiched helped me to relate and trust her. I would reccomend her to other clients.

Spent 1 hour session talking about herself and not asking any questions about my major depressive disorder. Then, as the hour wound down, she said "Oh, your plan pays for up to 1.5 hours, let's keep going", then talked about the problems in her life, again not interested in why I was there. Needless to say, I did not go back, and have steered several possible clients away from her.
