Treatment Approach
Dr. Ransom's data-driven approach to medication and therapy has been praised by multiple patients, who credit it with helping them overcome their mental health struggles. A patient who has been seeing Dr. Ransom for over two years notes that his CBT-focused therapy has been "transformational" in improving their life.
Confidentiality Concerns
However, one patient had a negative experience with Dr. Ransom, citing that he did not respect their confidentiality and revealed information about their treatment to outside parties without consent. This incident led the patient to give Dr. Ransom a low rating.
Therapist Qualities
Dr. Ransom's patients appreciate his clear explanations of therapy methods and his evidence-based approach. One patient praises his ability to incorporate emotions into CBT, noting that this was not something they had previously known about. Another patient appreciates Dr. Ransom's professional yet caring demeanor.
Insurance and Fees
While Dr. Ransom does not accept insurance, one patient considers his rates to be reasonable for the quality of care he provides. Another patient notes that finding a quality therapist who takes insurance can be challenging, making Dr. Ransom's self-pay model a worthwhile investment.
