Dr. Bradshaw is outstanding. He is intuitive, direct and intensity effective. There’s no just listening and asking, “How did that make you feel?” Bradshaw dives right in, asks the important questions, and refreshingly states his views and suggestions. I have been attending weekly visits for the past 6 month. I highly recommend dr. Bradshaw.

Very disappointed. Seemed like he was not very interested in listening or cared about the issues and assumed to know how I was feeling without paying attention

I have been seeing Dr Bradshaw for half a year, every week.

The real question is, what did I get out of it and was it worthwhile. So here we go:
I enjoyed how Dr Bradshaw does not accept nonsense, and he directly confronts you where you are going off track. That is excellent. However he seems to have a dark side as well. He jumps very quickly to conclusions. That is fine about me, that is why I am in the room. I was very much puzzled when he also placed a diagnosis on people I briefly described, but he has never seen. In some instances it led to the line of thought rolling away and losing relevance.
Also he has a few pet items. One is authority, he seems to be very fond of it. He also seemed to have a macho view of men, words like balls were used a lot.

I am not sure I would recommend him, it depends. Are you up for an interesting experience .. definitely. Do have an actual problem .... maybe not.

It was very easy to get an appointment. They have a very flexible schedule and get me in quickly every time. Getting an appointment with them at a convenient time couldn't be easier. Returns calls the same or the next day when unavailable to answer my direct calls. I've never had a problem getting an appointment at a time that works for me. The restrooms at this office were spotless. I've never received better advice from anyone else. It was sound, helpful, and completely unbiased. He always make an extra effort to make me feel respected and attended to. He always listen to every question or concern I may have. Dr. Bradshaw is direct and to the point which we like. He is excellent with our children and has gotten them to open up and talk about their feelings which was a challenge prior. Play therapy works! Dr. Bradshaw has been supportive and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking support for their child. Parking is in a garage though so be prepared for that. About $1.00 a half hour.

I would never refer Dr. Bradshaw to anyone, EVER. We initially sought help from him based on a referral for our child for ADHD. Dr. Bradshaw wasted a year of our time with repeated appointments pursuing his own (I believe pet) theory that our child's issues were related to difficulty with parents rather than ADHD. He repeatedly refused to consider the possibility that ADHD was the issue. He gave her an IQ test that supposedly somehow ruled out ADHD as a diagnosis, but then claimed to have "lost" the results. Once he told my daughter during a session (when she was having trouble paying attention) to "stop acting like a baby." After over 12 months of this nonsense, we had her professionally evaluated by a specialist, who said Dr. Bradshaw's methods (using an IQ test for diagnosis and pushing talk therapy) were "way out of date," and properly diagnosed our child with ADHD. She has blossomed with proper care. Dr. Bradshaw is lucky we didn't report him to the state Board. See him at your own risk. I still get angry every time I see his name.
