If there was zero rating, I would have given her that. Even a rating of one is a waste when you consider Mary Khashabi. Mary is irresponsible, extremely unprofessional and doesn't really care about her patients. She gets very offended when you disagree with her even in the slightest manner and will cut off all communication very rudely and irresponsibly. I totally agree with the previous comment that she needs to work on her own problems before she gets to those of others. Also, all she cares about is money. I remember she rushed me to make appointments at the end of each session before we said goodbye. She tells you she is worried about you and wants to have more sessions with you and when you tell her you feel okay and it's your partner that needs help she ghosts you both. She says she is "result-oriented" but in the end leaves you with more damage than you began with. I can't believe that she's still holding a license. My partner and I were a mess after we talked to her because she was turning us against each other. Luckily, we found an awesome, professional psychologist that really knows what he's doing and are happier than ever with his help. If you're depressed, stressed out, or have couple problems, look elsewhere, because Mary won't help you.
Mary does listen and provide an objective view on things we don't see when our brains are foggy with stuff we subjectively think about. She was instrumental in helping me getting over many things we explored together. I have seen her for the last 9 years and I usually recommend her to my family, friends and colleagues. She has great experience in dealing with stress and the ever changing aspects of our busy lives.
Mary was the worst counselor I met in my life I met at least 5 other counselors in the past. Note that she is a registered counselor not psychologist this means most of insurances won't cover the cost of sessions. Mary was inconsiderate and rude and overly confident about subjects she had no clue about. She gets really offended when you question her judgment or logic and becomes really defensive. I believe she needs to really work on some issues of herself before trying to help other people she needs to get over herself. I went to her for couple therapy because I and my girl friend had some issues in our relationship. I spend 450 dollar for a 100 minute session. If you call her to schedule an appointment the first thing she will talk about is money. She simply does not even show she care in therapy session. In summary, the advice you get from her, at least about relationships is probably not better than the advice you get from your average friend or family member. Her final advice to me and my girl friend: you guys need to explore more and decide whether to see each other or not. Thanks Dr Marry for telling us the obvious : Last but not least, it's true that she will keep you waiting outside of her office. At the end you just feel disrespected and judged. I am not sure how good she is in other areas. At least for marriage and relationships she is not the person to go to for advice.
I am so grateful for all that Dr. Khashabi has done for me. She knows what she is doing and she knows how to help you overcome your personal and life challenges. She is caring, understanding and experienced. I strongly recommend her services to anyone looking for a therapist in Vancouver.
