I appreciate Jennifer's review, very well thought out and penned. I interviewed Dr Rubanowitz…read moreover the phone, but we just didn't click. I did like that he seemed thorough and focused, but not a team player. In my case, I have ideas and questions about my mental health disorders that I would have liked to explore with Dr Rabinowitz's input and guidance, and then perhaps explore different treatment options together. Dr Rubanowitz, however, would have none of this. I was able to deduce that he is very controlling, and isn't going to spend a lot of time listening to input or concerns from his patients. His approach and character are not necessarily a negative thing. For example his controlling personality along with lack of listening to a person's input and concerns could be a positive thing, that is, if a person has absolutely no mind of their own, and are incapable of making decisions for themselves. So if you are able to fully submit to his authority without question, I believe you will both click and get along just fine. Whether or not his methods will work out for you in the end, I can't speak to that. You might read Jennifer's' post for more insight in this area.

This psychologist does some things well and some things not...or the "nots" may just be the things…read morehe is unwilling to do, as he did warn me that his practice is very focused. How much so it took me awhile to realize. He is all about "the toolbox" and, for some, this may be all they need. But you have to be at a certain point in your therapy journey for this to work. He emphasizes over and over that you have to be super motivated to make it work. But those of us struggling with depression, especially MDD, and trauma, and/or severe anxiety, which I have all of, know that getting motivated is one of the hardest parts, and he offered no ideas for accomplishing this state of mind. There were many times when I was trying to discuss particular problems I was having where I felt a kind of frustration or impatience emanating from him: he just wanted to get to the toolbox, was what I felt. And it's cool to see how enthusiastic he is about it. He really lights up. But an example of how I didn't feel properly cared for: I had, at the time, suicidal ideations. That is, I wasn't actually going to commit the act, but I thought about it night and day and it tormented me. When doing one of his exercises he asked what I was thinking about and I said 'Robin Williams', who had just killed himself. And he responded, "that's irrelevant ". Another time I brought up having these feelings and he asked if I needed to go to the hospital. When I said " no" he moved on. He doesn't seem to realize that people in this state need help to overcome the thoughts. We need to be able to talk about them without worrying about being carted off to some padded room (and though I've never been to a Redding psych facility I'm quite sure that the experience would be awful.) Now I'm on Zoloft for that, but it's not a permanent solution. Or, I was always worried about losing my job because I have memory and focus issues that cause me to make mistakes. But instead of trying to help me find ways to focus or think of accommodations that my employer could implement to help me, he told me just that the past didn't indicate the present, I.e. just because I'd lost jobs in the past doesn't mean I'll lose this one. He also has this method, and it's quite clear what he's trying to do, where he counteracts the negative things you are saying with something positive. But the way it feels is that he isn't listening to you, and this is what most people on the outside will do as well. So if I say, I can't find anything to do with my spare time that interests me, first he makes me rephrase can't as "won't let", which is really annoying when you are putting all the effort you have into something, and then he goes on to suggest the things you've already tried and says that the negative patient is the one who says (like Eeyore) " that will never work". But no, seriously doc, a cup of tea is not overcoming my major depressive disorder, and neither is a hot shower. Again, this is likely just about where a person is in their healing and therapy process. I think he needs to either be more selective about who he accepts as patients (only those who are really ready for his methods) or open himself up to listening to what his patients are trying to say, because quite often we already have some idea of what we need. I recommend him if you want to learn mindfulness, for example, but not if you are seriously bleeped up, like me.

She actually does a very good massage ( not the best ever but better than average). I was a client for about 3 years. The last time I went to her she showed me some colors that weren't very pretty. I will admit I was late for my appointment more than once. I don't blame her for her frustration with me and I accept that she didn't want me as a client anymore. I own my part in what took place. She was quite upset with me when I arrived and definitely didn't hesitate to tell me exactly how she felt. I don't blame her at all for being upset.... it was her delivery that was unacceptable for me. It was actually quite traumatizing. I also feel a responsibility to share that she would occasionally talk crap to me about some of her clients while treating me. She always had her list of people she was "no longer" going to allow to be her clients. So, in hindsight, I'm not surprised she lost her cool with me. The things she would tell me about some of her clients never set well with me. Very unprofessional, in my eyes, at least. I'm not trying to sabotage her but I felt that I needed to share my experience. As humans we are all flawed, and I am sorry for my part in whatever it is you want to call this. Kindness always lives in my heart as I know it does in Leslee's as well. I'm boiling this down to a learning experience
