Dr. Kieran Ayre is not a good therapist or a good person. I initially sought drug counseling from him for a weekend drug habit. He requested that I see him twice a week for a month with each session costing $250. I thought this was a little over-board for my situation but decided to give him the benift of the doubt. My suspicion was first raised after our sessions were only half an hour while I was paying for atleast 45 minutes. 

After the first month I passed every drug test he had given me and was making good progress (all do to my own discipline, going to him was like talking to a brick wall) so you can imagine my confusion when he insisted that I still go twice a week. I continued this charade for another two weeks before I told him that I could not continue to afford $2,000 a month in therapy, especially since I had not used those drugs since the first time I came into his office over a month and a half ago.

THIS IS WHEN THINGS GOT WEIRD... I continued to go to him for another 2 weeks with one session per week with continued abstance from my weekend habit that I had sought therapy for, each time leaving thinking I should cancel his service all together since I was not impressed by him what so ever. On our final session he AGAIN INSISTED that I go to him TWICE A WEEK and starting PRYING INTO MY FINANCIAL SITUATION.

This was the straw the broke the camels back. It was so obvious that his number one concern was squeezing every last dollar out of his patients as he could. It defies all logic to request someone who used drugs once a week to pay for for two sessions per week after TWO MONTHS of no longer using said drugs. I was spending atleast 5 TIMES MORE MONEY a week on his services than I was on drugs in the first place!

THEN HE SHOWED HIS TRUE COLORS when I decided to cancel our future sessions (with plenty of notice). The following week he not only charged me $185 but he also charged my mother $250 (whose card he had on file) for sessions that never happened and were canceled the previous week! He only stopped because I contacted him asking him why he would do such a thing. HE THEN LIED and said it was a mistake with his "billing department" when I know d**n well from previous experiance that he has no Billing Department! He runs a solo practice and has charged me while on his computer right infront of my eyes our first session!

This guy is just as bad as the drug dealers you are trying to escape from. He preys on the fears and insecurities of drug users and thier loved ones to try and make money off of them. He does not care about you or your sobriety, he only cares about building up his bank account.

Sad news

AUTHOR: Dr. Ayre - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, November 19, 2022

One of the saddest aspects of Bipolar Disorder (BD) the potential for the decreased life expectancy by suicide. The rate of suicide among BD patients is approximately 10–30 times higher when compared to the general population. Research finds that up to 20% of untreated BD subjects end their life by suicide, and 20–60% of them attempt suicide at least one in their lifetime.  When chronic, untreated Substance Abuse accompanies unmanaged Bipolar Disorder, the rates of successful suicide are the highest of any sub-strata of mental illness.  I am so very sorry John.  I am sorry that I was not able to do more to help you.  Dr. Ayre

sorry MANIC episode

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Friday, October 14, 2016

Hey I regret to inform anyone who is reading this that I wrote the past review under false pretenses. I was seeing Dr. Ayre for drug counseling but I neglected to mention that I have also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was also using drugs the entire time I had been seeking therapy from him.

Last week was kind of a "off the rails" week for me and i aimed a lot of misguided anger towards him for no good reason. I have contacted Ripoff Report to see if I can remove my last review but I have not heard back from them. I want to remove the review and make things right, but this is the best I can do right now.
