To whom it may it may concern,…read more When needing therapy I was referred to Robert Bakst. I was concerned and quite skeptical going into these sessions. From the get-go, Mr. Bakst has been extremely professional, polite, and definitely easy to talk to. He will talk to you about whatever is on YOUR mind, not his. Mr. Bakst has also given me great guidance, concerning my situation. I would highly recommend anyone searching for any kind of therapy, or just anyone just to talk to, to call Robert Bakst.

This guy gives nothing more than weird vibes and bad advice and not a feel of someone who got a higher education. Look elsewhere.

Let me preface my review by saying I have no idea how Mr. Cope is as a one-on-one counselor and I…read moredo not intend my review to dissuade anyone from trying counseling here. This is only a review of my experience. I presented to Mr. Cope for a first-time-ever couples counseling session. We went to Mr. Cope because my significant other sees him. Huge mistake. The only thing I can compare the session to would be having couples counseling with one of my significant other's friends. Actually, I think my s.o's friends would make more of an attempt to be unbiased. Mr. Cope made no effort to get to know me, my perspective, where I was coming from, who i am, etc. He reiterated the frustrations that my s.o. had spoken about privately with him and asserted them not as my s.o's interpretations of what was going on but as fact, and ultimately came off like he was pointing the finger. That was neither constructive nor helpful- we went to therapy because we are already quite good at finger pointing on our own. Furthermore, Mr. Cope, without getting to know my personality, feeling me out, or anything else, made a number of unprofessional "jokes" that made me uncomfortable. I was surprised that someone who works in this profession would not realize the importance of connecting with a person and learning their personality before jumping into jokes that ride the line between acceptable and not. My s.o. and I followed his advice and took a full day to let us absorb what was said in session. We went on to have a lovely rest of the night but the next day, once everything was "absorbed", it was like a grenade was set off between my s.o. and I. We had to then wade through what were words put in our mouths during session versus what was actually the truth between us. We are in worse shape for having tried counseling here. This is not to say that Mr. Cope was completely wrong. Some of his advice was sound and on point. My point is that a lot of it wasn't helpful, wasn't correct about us as individuals or what we are like in our relationship, and much of the session was a lecture. It seemed to me that Mr. Cope was unable to be an unbiased participant in the session because he already knew a lot about my s.o's perspective. I will not be returning.

I've been working with Derek Thompson for over two years, and I can confidently say he is an…read moreexceptional therapist ( I live in New York City). From the very beginning, Derek created a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space that made it easy to open up and do real, meaningful work. Derek is thoughtful, insightful, and truly listens. He doesn't just go through the motions. He tailors his approach to what you actually need, whether that's managing anxiety, working through relationship challenges, navigating life transitions, or building healthier coping skills (my business is STRESSFUL). Over the past two years, I've gained a much deeper understanding of myself and have seen real, lasting improvements in my mental health. What sets Derek apart from other NYC therapists is his ability to balance compassion with practical guidance. Sessions feel purposeful, and I always leave with clarity, perspective, or something actionable to reflect on. He's professional, reliable, and deeply committed to his clients' growth. If you're looking for a trusted, experienced therapist in NYC, I highly recommend Derek Thompson. Committing to therapy with him has been one of the best decisions I've made for my well-being, and I'm genuinely grateful for the progress I've made with his support.

I have tried many therapists and have come to realize that no matter what style the therapist is using the key determinant of whether they are good or not is how I feel after the sessions and over the period of working with the therapist.

Meredith is also very knowledgeable about CBT, which was exactly what I needed.

I have been working with Jonathan for the better part of 3 years now and this experience has been…read morelife changing. When I first met with him, I was having a very difficult time in my personal life and was really not sure if therapy would be of any true value to me. However, after a few sessions with Jonathan, I quickly realized the benefits. Jonathan was patient with me, understanding of my situation, and provided me with meaningful feedback with each session. There have been MANY things I don't believe I would have had nearly the success processing and working through without him. Thank you to Jonathan and the rest of the staff at the Center for Psychotherapy for your continued support.

Went in for an appointment one week ago with Jonathan Glickman Psy.D . He seemed nice enough and…read moreafter telling him about myself for 30+ minutes (personal things that I wouldn't feel comfortable telling someone who isn't my doctor) my appointment came to an end and his exact words were "does this time work for you?" To which I responded yes and left after asking the women at the desk if I needed to do anything else. I show up this week at the scheduled time and I'm told by the women at the desk he will be in shortly. I waited over 35 minutes before telling them to call him. I am then told he never put me down for an appointment... the level of incompetence is only rivaled by how uncomfortable I feel that I sat there pouring my heart out, only to now have to begin my search for another therapist. They should know how hard it is for people to seek help and this has been a very discouraging experience for me and a waste of time and money. I wish Jonathan all the best and I hope he works on his scheduling for his future patients.
