As a Clinical Psychologist, he cannot write prescriptions but really knows medicine ... western, eastern and holistic, and is happy to make recommendations to my doctors. He's very accessible and has always answered his phone when I've tried to call him. He knows the community well and is happy to make referrals if he thinks they can help you. In a country that is suffering from epidemics of anxiety and depression, we need more therapists like Dr. Davis. I respect and trust him completely.

I'm 40 and this was the first time I sought help for my focus issues. I hit a plateau and I knew…read morethere was more but I couldn't get any further on my own. It's amazing how within minutes of talking to Dr Freed (or just Roger - he says they are the same person :). I have this sense that he knows exactly how I think and of the nature of my struggles. I instantly felt very safe, understood and comfortable. In my experience it's been pretty rare to have that kind of connection. Through a combination of medical/scientific explanation and anecdotally from experience he really succinctly describes how these "inefficiencies" arise and cause problems when approaching work tasks. As mentioned by the other reviewer he focuses on the behavioral tips and tricks to steer clear of ADD/ADHD pitfalls and find a sustainable productivity. He describes how to "make deals" with yourself to start difficult tasks. He definitely has an element of compassion and to allow and embrace the creativity and pull that comes with the ADHD experience - sometimes aspects that are treated negatively in a "get things done" attitude. Kind of: Take it as a gift and then also here are some ways to optimize for output. It's a fun balance to work toward. I'm looking forward to continuing my visits!

I've never met anyone with this deep an understanding of ADD/ADHD in both kids and adults…read more I've been through four psychiatrists, all excellent ones. Dr. Freed is the first I've met who truly specializes in ADD. To use his words, medication is only 10% of the solution. The rest is up to the systems and tricks and compensating habits that the patient needs to employ in order to achieve the highest possible level of executive function. I can't speak to whatever else he treats, but I can't imagine that there's anyone better for ADD.

I read the response to my review by "Robin Joy B." and I appreciate her response, however I have a…read morereply to that. While I understand you were busy during the summer with people on a wait list and trying to get them with a therapist, what I didn't like was that no one called me to give me any updates as to when someone would call me. Every time they gave me an approximate date, that date would go by and no one would get back to me. Then I would call again, and get no response. Finally someone called me back and said "based on my review (I assume on Yelp) they have decided I should go somewhere else for therapy". All I was ever asking for was that someone keep me posted on the timeline for expecting to be assigned a therapist. I was told one thing, and then that changed to another time, and then that date passed. When a prospective therapy client is in urgent need of help, that is no way to treat them (by rejection). I may have been impatient, but also I think CIP should improve its communication with its prospective clients. After all the cost share fee (mine was $45) is still alot of money if you pay weekly. I think CIP is very unprofessional, and cares more about their organization and their interns and staff than about the people they serve, who they also charge for services

Do you have a crappy health plan? I was paying through the nose (more than $800 per month) for a…read morehealth plan that I didn't even know was crappy. Then the s**t hit the fan and I learned that talk therapy appointments were doled out like gold. I could get in to see someone once every 6 weeks or so, but weekly? Only if I wanted to call with my weekly crisis and beg to see a therapist du jour, retelling the whole ugly story anew each week until, whoops, time's up! Sometimes in the midst of a storm there's a calm moment and you can see clearly enough to say "I'm sorry you went through all of that schooling only to work for an organization that thinks it's acceptable for you to provide appointments once every six weeks to people in crisis." Then you listen to the dead silence on the other end of the line and then you act. CIP was there for me when I needed them. My initial call was met by an intake counselor with an ear for listening. She then set up the weekly appointments I felt were necessary. It's not a perfect situation: As others have noted, these are therapists-in-training. All sessions are audio taped (with your prior consent) and reviewed after the fact by a licensed therapist who then discusses what they hear with your trainee. On the plus side however, you actually may benefit by having both a licensed therapist and a trainee working to help you (albeit, the licensed therapist is in the shadows, never to be seen by you). You also benefit by getting actual weekly therapy appointments with the same therapist in training. Further, you get all of this on a sliding scale which is based on your personal income and circumstances. There's some paperwork to complete but it's not onerous and prices seemed reasonable (I was paying $65 per session). I'm happy that I don't have a current need for CIP's services but I'm not foolish enough to think that I might never need them again. They perform a great service for the community and I hope they'll still be performing it again, when the need arises.

I spoke to Dr Segal about the TMS treatments she offered for depression. Her office was very…read morepleasant and convenient. She explained that it only works 60% of the time and I would have to come 5 times a week for six weeks. She said it would be most effective if I am consistent and don't take breaks. I cleared my calendar and committed to the treatments. Halfway through, without notice or explanation, she told me she would be gone for a month. I told her I had committed to this time and she said only that "it couldn't be helped." I asked if someone could cover her and she said "no." We would resume when she came back and she would add extra sessions. I told her I had already made other plans and she just shrugged and repeated "it couldn't be helped ." Clearly, her time was more valuable than mine and, as a patient, I came second. I've never known any doctor, especially a mental health doctor, who didn't have a backup in case of emergency and would abandon a depressed patient. We finished treatment and it didn't help me at all. She said she didn't know if it was because of the break or if I was part of the 40% who didn't respond. She said we could wait a while and start over without any breaks and i said "no thanks." It would mean another huge commitment of time for me and more income for her. I found her practice to be very unprofessional bordering on malpractice and would not recommend her.
