Dr. Charlesmani Ignatius, Psychoanalyst

Sometimes, he waits for me to initiate the conversation instead of actively engaging or leading the session. Consequently, I get confused because I’m unsure whether he’s waiting for me to speak or if he’ll take charge and ask me a question to prompt or elicit a response so that he can assist me. I find it frustrating when the therapist appears to be waiting for the “patient” to talk while they’re putting in minimal effort, aren’t asking probing questions, and simply wait for the therapy patient to talk themselves to death until the session ends. I’m not a fan of that approach because I believe it doesn’t effectively help me in the long run. He did provide me with tasks to complete at the end of the previous session, but that’s because I suggested them rather than him suggesting them.

My therapist listens to my situation and offers a positive solution. Also he expresses different ways of coping.

He has been nothing but helpful with my therapy. He listens to me and helps me find solutions to my problems rather than just letting me talk the entire time. He offers guidance and presents options to allow me to get to the bottom of my issues.

Dr. Ignatius has been very much appreciated. For my particular situation he has been helpful by simply listening to me. Allowing me to talk and just let out everything that has been bottled up inside. For me, that was what I really needed. He offered me a book to read for personal development and growth. He has been very helpful. Thanks doc!

Dr. Ignatius has a good understanding of the importance of maturity and transparency in the form of gentle truths. He is encouraging and I felt his belief in my improvement.
Dr. Ignatius verbalized a leveled optimism ,which contradicted my feelings at the moment, but was probably meant to encourage my outlook for my future.
He was punctual and did not trim off time before the appointed hour.
For fellow counsel seekers, I recommend thinking of two or three topics you'd want to discuss beforehand to make the most of the time.

Dr. Ignatius is wise and grounded. I have not done therapy in a very long time because I always felt it made me focus so much on me and my issues — I feel that Dr. Ignatius sees things beyond my perspective and helps me get to a core of an issue in a profound way. He is easy to talk to and genuinely kind and compassionate. So highly recommend him, especially to those weary of sharing their problems or worries~
