Graves Michael A PHD

Dr. Michael Graves is one of the best psychologists I know. He is highly intelligent, warm and empathic, direct and down to earth, and funny. I’ve referred numerous people to him with excellent results. He would be a great therapist to have. Dr. Ruth Wetherford

Very unethical therapist — he’s on my network, and he is bound to accept $ 15. He knew this, but wanted me to pay his full $ 150 — and said he charged other patients more than their copay as well. He only let me know this after I’d seen him for several sessions for. .. depression. He finally agreed to honor his contract and pay me the correct amount but only if I agreed to pay him one session at $ 150. But this took an entire session to discuss.
When I didn’t show to an appointment because I had a different time down, he said I would owe him $ 150 in the future. But when he missed an appointment with me, he barely apologized!
Then, after a year, when I was trying to get off antidepressants, he said he wanted me to start paying him his full fee again.
That’s when I researched and found the Oxford published book on Psychology and Ethics said asking for more than the copay was both illegal and unethical. I hope his other patients read this and join me in complaining and suing to get our money back.
