Charles T Rubio PhD, PC, Clinical Psychology - Opelika, Alabama

Katherine Brewer

Dr. Charles Rubio has been blessing for me since 2019. This is not your average doctor, he's understanding, compassionate, professional ?, and above all that he is extremely experienced in his field. I have gone through so much in my life, as we all do. Because of that and my mental health diagnoses, I have been through many , many, Dr's such as, therapist's, psychiatrists, counselors, etc. There are actually very few doctors in this field that actually care like he does. This is my experience after 34 long years of roller coaster rides with my mental health and a myriad of different doctors/ medications. Dr Rubio has taught me so much about myself. Things that are good and positive, but also he has helped me see the negative too. Not just see it, but help me take the steps I need to help myself. Anyone that meets him will see he is a great doctor. I definitely recommend him.

Dr. Rubio is a wonderful therapist - very knowledgeable and professional. And most important to me, he consistently demonstrates genuine concern and compassion for his patients as individuals. I would recommend him highly to anyone seeking support for dealing with any personal challenges that may seem overwhelming.

I would not recommend Dr. Rubio to anyone, and I would certainly not give him permission to privately discuss anything with family members. Dr. Rubio was my therapist for two to three years. During my sessions with Dr. Rubio, he asked if I would allow him to contact my daughter, who was the main subject of our therapy. I verbally agreed to this, thinking it would be similar to family counseling, where I would be privy to the conversation. However, he later only gave me HER email replies, cutting of his comments to her. I felt it somewhat strange at the time, since he was my therapist, acting on my behalf, and with my permission. I felt I should have had full knowledge of the entire discussion, but I did not push my request. As time went by, my daughter began, and continued, to throw the conversation with him in my face, indicating that his comments to her reinforced her own feelings about our relationship, which confused me. I quit therapy at that time. She later sent a screen print, reinforcing this, and it was quite obvious he may have reinforced more of her feelings, by discussing issues about me he claimed to agree with her on. This seemed to add fuel to the disagreement, and seemed to cause more friction in our relationship. It also appears to lack proper ethics. I have asked repeatedly for this communication. I have not asked for process notes, which I know he can refuse to send. I have asked for the communication he conducted on my behalf, which he had to have my permission to do. I sincerely feel I should have had access to the entire discussion, including his comments, as he was my therapist NOT hers. He refused, saying he wanted a virtual meeting to “explain” the emails, which I felt stood on their own lack of merit. I refused a meeting knowing he still would not give me his comments, and he replied that consultation with his colleagues demonstrated this was best practice. My feeling is that his ethics may be questionable, and I believe he violated HIPAA.

I’d give four and half stars if I could. I really like Dr. Rubio. I’ve seen him for a few months now and he’s very insightful and gives good advice. Unfortunately, I feel like ok untreatable so I don’t get much out of his therapy as I should. Regardless, he’s a good psychologist and one of the best I’ve seen. The only complaint o have and the only reason why I’d give 4 and 1/2 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of staff. There is never a receptionist working and when there is, she walks in and asks what time is my appointment and then leaves. Not too big of a deal for me though personally.

Dr. Rubio has been a blessing to our son, Caleb, and thus, to our whole family. Very patient and kind. Very insightful.
