I don't normally write reviews for doctors but I was so surprised and disappointed by the negative…read morereviews I'm seeing for Dr. Brunell here that I had to chime in. I have not had great experiences with mental health professionals in my life and I'd say Dr. Brunell is one of two people who have actually helped me in more than twenty years. His intake process is extremely comprehensive and yes, does mean that it will probably take a few weeks to get a diagnosis and to get started on a treatment plan. Mental health issues are complex and interconnected and his thorough and deliberative approach reflects that complexity. I've had scary and unsuccessful experiences with medications and OCD ERP treatments in the past and he listened to my history attentively and took my concerns seriously. His approach to starting me on a new drug was very slow and conservative and helped me feel relaxed and confident about my treatment plan. His demeanor is more detached and objective than warm and fuzzy, which may not be a good fit for every patient's needs, but works well for me. He is extremely clear about his billing policy up front and while he is less flexible about late or missed appointments than other doctors might be, nothing about his billing practice would come as a surprise. He was patient and understanding when I had an issue with a new insurance policy that required that he wait a few weeks to bill me. The doctor clearly has a reverence for excellence, the truth and getting to the bottom of complex mental health issues, and he's helped me immensely.

Dr. Brunell, for me, is truly a transformative psychiatrist. Not only is he a 'unicorn' in that he…read moreprovides both behavioral therapy and, as a psychiatrist, prescribe drug therapies, but he is truly very good at both. I found Dr. Brunell to be both adept at guiding me through the therapeutic options but also collaborative in terms of listening carefully to what was working and what was not. I really owe so much to Dr. Brunell's treatment, guidance and counsel for one of the most difficult times in my life. He was always available when I had breakdowns in my treatment outside of regular meetings. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Nineberg has saved my life on many occasions…read more I started seeing him almost 20 years ago when I was going through a very deep withdrawal with depression and anxiety. I'll never forget what he said to me on those many occasions I was in his office. "We'll get through this together" I clung to those words with all the strength I could muster and the belief that this man could help me. Since then he has seen the best and worst of me and went out of his way to help me every time. Contrary to another review, I have experienced the man at his most compassionate and caring - he really gives a crap, unlike one or two shrinks that I've had the unfortunate experience of working with. If you are desperate and are struggling, please give this man a call, you won't be disappointed.

I0 days after the treatment he started having SEVERE side effects, tinnitus, one sided weakness, severe depression, inability to drive or exercise. He was told by the clinic it was "normal" and called a "dip". His dip never faded. The clinic ordered an MRI which shows only structural damage to appease him. He kept asking for help but no one believed or listened to him. He took his own life because of the callousness of the people who work there and Dr Brennan who refused to talk to me. Instead, he had his lawyer contact me. What does that tell you?? Look up the inventor of TMS and you will find that he also took his own life. Please do not go to this clinic or see this doctor. No real compassion, just want tens of thousands of dollars in cash from you. They lie about it being safe. It's not. I just buried him...

We tried a couple of different medications until we found what worked for me. Now I meet with him every 2 to 3 months to make sure everything is going well. The man is doing his job. No, he does not provide 45 minute therapy sessions, but he does have several psychologists on staff if that is what you need. That is not his job though. The complaints on here are really ridiculous. Yes, you have to pay your copayment. Shocking! Yes, you have to call if you were going to cancel an appointment! Shocking! If you are going to a psychiatrist for anger issues, picking a fight with the office staff is probably not the best idea. That was the funniest and sounds more like a sitcom episode plot than a real experience. He has an awesome car and takes very interesting international trips if you take the time to talk to him. The only thing I do not understand is how he gets away with still only doing telephone appointments in the year 2023. He has a beautiful office in Winchester. I wish he would use it. Otherwise, I would've given five stars.

Dr. Marcus has been a fierce advocate in the mental health world and in mine! I've been seeing him…read morefor well over 10 years now and the one thing I will say is that he goes above and beyond to deliver a high level of care. I have felt over the past 10 years that our client-doctor relationship has only matured and grown. He is consistent, thoughtful, and always goes out of his way to reassure me that not only is he there to help me but he is there as a problem solver. In his line of work providers are often pressed for time. Dr. Marcus never makes me feel as though I am a burden and always goes out of his way to spend the time that we need to effectively facilitate our session. Cannot recommend him more highly! Thank you Dr. Marcus for your service. You are greatly appreciated!

His heart is pure gold, he's there for his patients, he believes in them (even when they mess up).. He has a passion to help others in a way I haven't seen before in other professionals. He's professional yet purely genuine. I feel very lucky to have found a doctor so dedicated.

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.
