Bryce Carter PHD

The best!

Before I met Dr. Carter I had tried going to a therapist 5 or 6 times over the past 10 years. I never went to the same person more than once.
I was having problems in my marriage and overheard a co-​worker discussing how she was going to see her therapist and she was singing him praises… I asked for his number, 5 years later and i have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Carter.
What I find so great about him is that if one approach doesn’t work, he changes gear and tries another without being erratic. He is honest and sympathetic and won’t just sit there and listen to me lie to myself.
Pragmatic, offers great advice and best of all he has given me the tools to be able to move forward in my life and my relationships.
If you need help, want to change negative patterns and behaviors, learn coping skills, then Dr. Bryce Carter is the guy to see.

I had a pretty good experience with Dr. Carter, though it has been a few years since I saw him. I went to him for about a year with my then boyfriend/​now husband. He was low key in his approach, but committed to helping us understand why we were in some negative patterns, and tried to get us out of them with quite practical advice. Most importantly, he got my Neanderthal boyfriend to participate in the process. This was incredibly hard to do, since my boyfriend figured it would just be a «dumping» session for a «bunch of chick shit» where the therapist helped me «gang up» on him. Dr. Carter did a great job putting my modern day cave man at relative ease and getting him to take things seriously– good enough that I finally married the guy!

It’s tough being first up. I want to say a lot but will say a little in hopes that I convey a lot more.
Dr. Carter is a good listener, and, for the most part, he is of a pragmatic mind, so if you go to him, expect to get pragmatic advice (aka: cookie– cutter advice)… What’s worse about his advice is that, at least during one instance, he never varied it when my following it was obviously not working well. Instead, he continued to beat me over the head with it, almost as if trying to convince me that what I felt was unjustified (it turned out to be bad advice, because as events played-​out, my feelings became justified).
I’m the kind of person that doesn’t much like someone giving me advice in a very blunt and confrontational matter, but that pretty much sums up Dr. Carter: very blunt, and in-​your face about his opinion to the point of creating a very claustrophobic environment in which you have – percievably – little room to make your own decision (s).
Furthermore, and more importantly, some of his advice seemed indicative of him needing to see someone for his own sake!
I also thought that some of his reactions to what I was saying seemed inappropriate considering the subject matter. Yet, as much as all that sucks, what sucks more is that he routinely calls you up to reschedule for who knows why. On the flip side though, he does seem cool with you flaking, so to some that might be a good thing; but last I checked doctors were paid by their patients, not the other way around.
Other than that, to Dr. Carter’s credit, he is very smart, and knowledgeable. Also, he does have many years of experience in the field… I’ll give him that. Yet, in my case, it just wasn’t a go.
In any event, if you need counseling, it never hurts to make a few appointments with someone (Dr. Carter included) to try them out. My experience was all my own, Dr. Carter and I were just not a good fit, but, perhaps, your experience will be different… so what I’m saying is give him a try, and if you see that’s it’s not a go, then don’t delay in going to someone else.
