My spouse and I came to Rita during a difficult time in our marriage, feeling disconnected and…read moreuncertain about our future together. From our very first session, Rita made us feel comfortable, heard, and never judged. She created a safe space where we could openly communicate and begin working through the challenges we were facing. With Rita's compassion, wisdom, and practical guidance, we learned healthier ways to communicate, rebuild trust, and better understand one another. She gave us tools that we continue to use every day, and they have made a tremendous difference in our relationship. Today, our marriage is stronger, healthier, and filled with more understanding and respect than we ever thought possible. We are so grateful for Rita's patience, encouragement, and genuine care throughout our journey. If you're looking for a marriage therapist who truly invests in her clients and helps couples create lasting, positive change, I wholeheartedly recommend Rita. She played an incredible role in our success story, and we will always be thankful for the impact she had on our marriage.

I usually don't write reviews, especially not reviews for someone whom I have only had one…read moreinterview session with. But I decided to write this one because it was an interesting/perplexing experience to me. I had a 50 minute interview session with this therapist. At the end of the interview, we both agreed that we are not a good match to each other. I read some of the good reviews for him before scheduling an appointment, and I can certainly see how this therapist can be helpful to certain patients and I can fully understand why they like him. I was hoping that I would have a good experience with him myself when I scheduled the first session. I have done a lot of deep work before. Everything the other reviewers were talking about and everything this therapist was saying about my patterns in the interview session made sense to me. These comments/suggestions resonated with what I worked on before and what I am looking for in a therapist. I was really hopeful that this therapist would be a good match for me. He has the insight and the analytical mind set, he clearly knows deep issues and wants to help patients to make progress quickly. Part of me was saying to myself: This should work. And yet we didn't connect by the end of the interview session. He was watching me, knowing that there was trauma and painful struggle, but he seemed to expect the patient to open up to him and go deep in the first 50 minutes of an interview session. I didn't get the impression that he got me at the emotional level and was holding the patient in their struggles, that he got the hint that I knew what I was doing and I am very capable of talking openly in therapy, but just not in the first 50 minutes, with someone I hadn't made the connection yet. To me, this was an interview session and I needed to see if there was empathy and connection first before exploring something deep and painful. In fact, I almost got the impression that maybe his emphasis is not so much to heal the patient in the therapeutic relationship dynamic, but rather to provide insight so that the understanding of the issue is reached quickly. His approach can work very well to certain patients, but I have seen other great therapists who provide the same type of insights, deep into childhood or traumatic experiences, making connections to the present pervasive patterns...etc. But in addition to all of that, the other therapists I had good experiences with also had an emphasis in the healing aspect of the therapeutic relationship, so that the patient experiences the interpersonal relationship differently than the bad ones they had in their past. For some reason, this healing aspect of the patient-therapist relationship dynamics was not experienced in my first 50 minutes of an interview session with this therapist.

After several years of helpful sessions, I had to terminate my work with Dr. Asturias for what I…read moreconsider to be an unforgivable betrayal of my mental health needs related to gender identity/gender transition. After so much that was helpful in other areas, it took me completely by surprise that he was so resistant to helping me in this regard (wouldn't even discuss it with me beyond a flat refusal, didn't give me a name of someone else I could consult). I had to sort it all out with all new providers that didn't know me at all. The trust we spent building up over years was instantly vaporized. Five stars for the PTSD work, one star for the gender related issues, average it out to three stars.

I saw Dr. Haezebrouck and I recommend finding another doctor if you are looking for mental health services of any kind. I was told to come here by my therapist to be evaluated for ASD. I was evaluated by Dr. Haezebrouck in Feb-Mar 2022. I am (or was) a "high-functioning" and high-masking individual. After the appointment when he gave me my report I went to my car and cried. His written report was sloppy and had a lot of incorrect information, including incorrect names and dosages of medications I was on that I had actually written down on paper for him as well as put on my intake forms. He had many misinterpretations of what I'd told him about my life and myself, his timeline was off, had incorrect details about events in my life, had messy typos like misspellings and at one point wrote the year "20212", randomly referred to me as 'he' a few times (Im not even trans, these were sloppy mistypes), and had straight up incorrect information about me including quotes of things that I never said and answers to questions he never asked. During the appointment he went over the report, he told me I was "too funny" to have ASD and implied on many occasions that my IQ was too high and that I was too intelligent to have it. He very firmly believed that the only reason I suspected I had autism was because I had a "low self-worth", and when I pushed back on it he refused to listen. The thing is, I have never viewed Autism negatively. I have older family members with autism who have been very high-functioning, high-achieving individuals with high IQs. And explaining the drawbacks and struggles its caused me never meant I thought I was lesser for it. Realistically it sounds like he is the one who holds a negative view of autism and projected it onto me. He seemed very firm on his own preconception of me despite the fact that it was fundamentally incorrect, and he seemed intent on misunderstanding and warping the things I was telling him. I went home and took a red pen to the report like a school teacher to a child's book report to fix the typos and misinformation. I did weeks of more researching and digging up my moms old logs of milestones and stuff of the like. I asked her questions that might give me even more clarity of my behaviors growing up and also found out she actually almost got me tested as a kid but didn't want me to grow up with a label on me. Instead she sought out and met with an autism specialist off the books for advice for raising me. I made another appointment with him and went back to show him my findings and research and he denied everything I told him for the whole appointment and doubled down on his initial opinion insisting I was wrong. I left that appointment crying as well. His assessment and these encounters with him did very extensive damage to my view of myself as well as my ability to trust myself and my perceptions which has caused a lot of problems in my personal and professional life and given me crippling self-doubt that I'd never experienced up until that point. I've only just recently felt like I've begun to trust myself again enough to write this review. I was diagnosed with ASD last year. It is because of his inattention, factual inaccuracies, seemingly willful misunderstandings of self-reported symptoms, and embarrassingly careless and sloppy written report, that I do not trust the accuracy of any of his interpretations of tests, opinions on my mental health, or diagnoses, nor his abilities as a mental health professional in general. His diagnosis of Bipolar 1 was found incorrect and undiagnosed by other doctors within a year.

I had the misfortune of bringing my daughter to see Dr. Shishodia, and the red flags were there…read morefrom the very start. The waiting room was beyond uncomfortably loud, overstimulating, and we were left waiting far past our scheduled appointment time. Once we finally got into her office for my daughter's assessment, I quickly realized why the waiting room noise was so intense: Dr. Shishodia speaks so loudly that it borders on yelling, and it absolutely compromises patient privacy. Anyone sitting in the waiting room could easily hear private conversations happening behind closed doors. Today, I called to ask a simple and reasonable question about what information she typically includes in a patient's visit summary. Instead of answering, she became defensive, rude, condescending, and noticeably angry almost immediately. As I tried to calmly explain why I was asking, she continually spoke over me, raised her voice even more, and wouldn't allow me to get a full sentence out. She even insinuated that I was trying to "put her in the middle of two parents," when all I was asking was what general details might appear in her summary of the single appointment she had with my child. At that point, I had to interrupt her to tell her how inappropriate and disrespectful her behavior was. Based on her reaction and the hostility she showed over such a basic question, it's hard to imagine she is taking thorough or accurate patient notes. I have never snapped at a healthcare provider before. I understand the strain on our healthcare system and generally have a high level of patience and empathy. But the way this doctor communicates, both during the appointment and on the phone, is some of the worst bedside manner I have ever encountered. Questions about medical records or visit summaries should never be met with confrontation, hostility, or unprofessional behavior. I strongly urge other parents to be aware of this before bringing their children here.
