Coming here has been the absolute best thing I could have ever done for myself! I finally felt…read morevulnerable enough to go to therapy prior to coming to Dynamic Direction Counseling, and I felt essentially I was talking to myself while my therapist was making sure she agreed with what I said. I didn't click with my previous therapist, and that's okay.. Nonetheless, I cancelled that service because it was not a good fit. Months later, I tried to have therapy again. I went in with the same expectation as before and wow was I blown away! Nicole got back to me the next day after my inquiry. I see Nicole and she has helped me realize things about myself that I never knew and a different perspective, but in a very personable way. I think there is one reason for my thinking, but she opens up a whole new realm of possibilities and that there is just not one reason for my behavior. She is never judgmental and is very easy to talk to - it's like you're talking to a longtime friend. When there are patterns you're talking about or something she wants to Segway on to change your thinking, it's never done in a negative way. I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

My ex-boyfriend violently assaulted me on several occasions and verbally, mentally, and emotionally abused me for four years. I have a package near completion to give to the VPD, but am utterly traumatized by the abuse I suffered. And now I have suffered a relapse of Fibromyalgia from a lack of emotional support. My health is a mess because I have waited so long. They do not offer the services that they say they do! I am devastated. I feel as though I have been victimized again, by Family Services of the North Shore. Clearly, my wellbeing is unimportant to them. Meanwhile, my ex-boyfriend, a psychopath is likely scouting out new victims to abuse and con. He abused and assaulted almost all of his exes. He needs to be held accountable and I need to recover. THIRTEEN MONTHS OF WAITING for help is unacceptable!

Susan and I have been in the trenches together with my mental health over the past ten years…read more Through her medical wizardry, she has brought me back from the brink of suicide and insanity on multiple occasions. I'm a graduate of Northwestern University and was distraught over my outcomes with other psychiatrists. I felt like I didn't suffer through that school to be on disability. Susan is a breath of fresh air. While she isn't in-network with any insurance company, her prices are reasonable (she's worth every penny), and she will work with your insurance on things like getting your prescriptions covered, provide you with documentation if you have out-of-network coverage, and fill out any sort of job-related paperwork that may be needed. I think it's saying something that she keeps her patient population functioning so well that they can continue to see her, even in the rough times. Unlike so many other psychiatrists, to the best of my knowledge Susan doesn't have patients in long-term care facilities, nursing homes, or regularly in an inpatient setting. We're all contributing members of society and she keeps us that way. As psych patients, I believe that's the most we can ask for: to be indistinguishable from people without mental illness. Susan ensures just that. If there's one thing you should spend a little extra on, it's your health. Take my word for it. Make your mental health a priority with Susan Bank. You'll be happy you did!

So many of my therapy experiences have either been nice, well-meaning but ineffective people or people who seemed checked out but happy to collect the money from me and my insurance. I feel like Dr. Luce really knows and understands me unlike anyone i have ever known . He has a really good balance between creating lots of space for me and my "stuff" while also contributing to the discussion in meaningful ways. I have been seeing Dr. Luce for a few years now and all of the initial issues i came to therapy have been mostly resolved. My marriage is also as strong as it has ever been and i owe a lot of that to my therapy. Dr Luce is professional, caring and really good at his job. Highly, highly recommend.

I feel blessed to have met Mari based on a random Google search. Working through an incredibly…read morechallenging ex relationship, Mari has provided me with a calm in my storm. She is kind, genuine, empathetic and sincere. What I enjoy about our time together is that she shares stories to provide examples to prove points so it feels more like an uplifting conversation than an appointment with a therapist. I always leave with a takeaway or two that carries me through the week. I feel like I've known her for longer than a few months and she is flexible with my changing schedule. Thank you, Mari, for being you.

Not happy with Erin P. and her billing practices. I understand wanting a 48 hours notice, but when you have 2 out of 3 kids sick it is not doable. I had to cancel 3 appts on a Saturday because 2 kids were sick. She is charging me $75 for each of the kids that were sick and the full appointment fee for the child who was not sick. There is no way I could have brought the 3rd child in and leave the other 2 home. It would have been reckless, negligent and illegal. I have 2, 6 year olds and an 8 year old. She told me if the appointments were earlier in the week and we could reschedule that she would not have charged me, but since it was late in the week and could not reschedule that I was being charged out of pocket. I cannot plan when my children are sick.
