The entire staff are very helpful and easy to reach be it on the phone , text or email. The payment process is very quick and simple they take most major health insurance . I've been seeing Dr Rubenstein for almost two years and the result of my mental being is excellent !

I encourage those who needs mental wellness check to try and see it for yourself .

My experience with Dr. Brian Pell deserves to be publicly documented so others know exactly what…read morethey are walking into. I booked an appointment specifically for an ADHD assessment, clearly stated as such. That was the entire purpose of the visit. Yet, during the call, Dr. Pell casually informed me that they are not conducting ADHD assessments at this time and may resume, possibly in January or February of next year. This immediately raised a red flag: if you are not offering the service, why accept an appointment for it? Why bill insurance for something you never intended to provide? The entire interaction lasted 18 minutes, and not a single part of it resembled an evaluation. Instead, we spent the bulk of the time discussing my career. He asked about my former psychiatrist's nationality; he seemed very interested in why he didn't take insurance "as a Black doctor" (which I perceive as a common conflation between race and poverty). He then asked only two quick, surface-level questions about why I was seeking an ADHD assessment. Then in the same breath that he told me they are not doing assessments, he also told me that I probably do not have ADHD. He said this despite the fact that I was coming to him for a second opinion after already completing a comprehensive, legitimate ADHD evaluation with a diagnosis from an actual specialist. (I did not share I was coming in for a second opinion, as I didn't want it to be biased). He provided no testing, no structured questions, no clinical methodology, nothing that even remotely resembled evidence-based practice. The whole thing felt dismissive, and frankly, like a complete waste of my time. I left the appointment feeling misled and deeply uncomfortable, as insurance had been billed for a service that was never delivered. If you are seeking serious mental health care, diagnostic clarity, or responsible clinical practice, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This experience felt unhelpful and entirely out of alignment with what any patient should expect from a licensed provider.

My wife and I have been working with Laura as a couple's therapist for several years. Yes, years…read more Why? A second marriage for both us, we engaged Laura, prior to our wedding not due to any acute crisis but to become more mindful of our own histories and how these might impact the relationship. One of the many insights gained working with Laura over the years is that each partner is responsible for 100% of their 50% of the relationship (LOVE that!!). We were also familiar with the book, Getting the Love Your Want by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, best known for co-creating Imago Relationship Therapy. Laura is a certified practitioner of Imago, blending it with her unique style of facilitation. Imago offers many relationship building blocks, such as mirroring and sharing appreciations that fundamentally changed how we communicate. In many ways, Laura is like a relationship coach, holding us accountable for our respective 100% that we each bring to the relationship. Our marriage continues to thrive and benefit from our time and investment with Laura!

Dr. Adam Antoine is the real deal. For the first time in a long time, I actually felt seen by a…read morehealthcare provider -- not rushed, not dismissed, not reduced to a checklist. He gets it. What sets him apart is his ability to think outside the box. He's not practicing with blinders on or hiding behind a degree -- he brings genuine curiosity, a growth mindset, and a well-rounded perspective that you can feel the second the conversation starts. He connects the dots in ways most providers don't even attempt. His energy is authentic, his approach is refreshing, and he restored something I honestly thought the healthcare system had taken from me: trust. If you feel like you're done trying -- go see him. Anyone who says otherwise probably doesn't understand the value of someone who genuinely wants to help you become the best version of yourself.

I've just returned from my first visit with Dr. Packer and when detailing my experience with my…read morefiancé, he suggested I take a look at her Yelp. I'm glad I didn't do this before, because I would've been totally discouraged and probably skipped her. Many reviews here are, as best I can interpret, that Dr. Packer is very direct. With me, that was true. I came to her for a personal problem that I'm interested in rectifying and felt welcomed and listened to during my entire time with her. I understand that a lot of folks want to see a psychiatrist or therapist who pats them on the arm, or openly and loquaciously empathizes with them, but that's just not Dr. Packer's style and I appreciate that. I would agree that the mountains of paperwork are quite unnecessary (hence the 4-stars and not 5) because she reviewed them during our first few minutes together, and also asked me to print them ahead of time. Yes, her office is messy, but I'll choose to call it eclectic. I felt Dr. Packer was understanding, empathetic in her own professional way, direct in helping me understand some root issues, and thoughtful in her feedback and suggestions. I'm truly looking forward to my next meeting with her, even if it takes more than one email to confirm (which is how many it took for my appointment today). Finally, for those wondering, she knew/remembered my name, my fiancé's name when referenced, had no problem hearing me, didn't have the door cracked open like previously reported, called me maybe 2-3 minutes late, and charged me the correct copay amount. For those who's chief complaint with 1-star about Dr. Packer was that she's messy, hard of hearing, or not on time, I'm encouraged by your ability to find a doctor - of any field - who isn't at least one of those things.

I've never written a review but I'm really compelled to speak out. I'm legally blind and I went on…read morethe Psychology Today site, searched for a blind allied psychiatrist and found Dr. Packer. I only saw her via telehealth and she was already weird and off putting. She had a camera set up off to the side so I never saw her face just the side of her face. It's hard to share stuff about yourself when you're not looking at them in the eye. She did telehealth over Zoom, which is not HIPPA compliant. Her office was either a weird looking space with a toy stuffed moose hanging on the wall or she did meetings outside. I said my previous diagnoses were anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She said she'd only treat ADHD if she made the diagnosis and made no attempt at finding anything out regarding my attention deficit. I'd been diagnosed since I was in grade school. She said that since I was blind it might be helpful to read a book she wrote on a the subject. So I checked it out on Amazon and the book she "wrote" is just a collection of short stories of blind people in fiction. I mean I like Daredevil, but I don't see how comparing myself to a guy with superpowers is really gonna help me cope with having to give up driving. She was constantly late to our 15 minute long sessions, which lead them to be like 7 minutes. 5 of which were her trying to remember what drugs I'm on. This is one of her worst offenses. Prior to every week's appointment, she'd send me a form that I had to send back. It had questions like, what medicines and dosages are you on? Are you pregnant? Are you thinking of hurting yourself? She rarely ever read these forms. It is, however, seriously disconcerting when he did and I'd get them wrong or whatever because she said she uses these forms to keep track of what medicines I'm on. She'd be super angry and condescending toward me about her forms. The real question, though, is shouldn't she, the doctor, be monitoring my medication in her notes? Speaking of medication she had me on so many drugs that I couldn't keep track of it. At one point the prescription ran out so I stopped taking one of them. The withdrawal was bad and I brought it up to her that I didn't want to be on it. She said it was working so well for me once. I told her that it wasn't doing much. She said patients forget how well meds work sometimes and I should stay on it. At one point I moved. I had to find a new pharmacy so we tried the Walgreens that was 15 minutes away. At the Walgreens they said my insurance said my Dr was supposed to get preauthorization for the medication (the one I didn't like anyway). So I send her an email and during my next appoint with her she said that the people at Walgreens are wrong she'd prescribed this hundreds of times and didn't need that. And the it must be that the people at Walgreens only have GEDs so they don't know what's going on. I was shocked. I felt like it was super elitist and kinda racist. What actually happened was my insurance needed preauthorization because insurance does bullshit like this all the time to deny care. She eventually got the preauthorization and couldn't admit that she was wrong. There are other stories about how she accused my 80 year old mother of a felony and I was literally worried she'd call the cops. When I moved I temporarily was out of state so she couldn't treat me. She sent my refills to the pharmacy where I used to live and I couldn't contact her for more because she wouldn't treat me if I wasn't in NY. So I went through a bad withdrawal. She wanted me to call some guy at the lighthouse guild and she sent me his contact card, which was blank. I told her about it and she was angry I didn't call them and search for this guy who was like an accountant. Eventually I switched insurance because I had some better insurance. Told her and she gave me attitude and I was done with her.

I've done Reiki a couple of times before but never felt a huge difference. With Deborah, it was different. During the session, Deborah asked questions to understand my needs and concerns. She was positive and warm, and made me feel very comfortable. She also introduced me to flower essences, which I hadn't heard of prior. During the healing session, I yawned a lot (like I was releasing a lot of repressed energy!). Afterwards, I felt relaxed - it was clear that the session truly worked although it wasn't done in person, which I was a little nervous about at first. Deborah also quickly followed up after our session with additional information and promptly responded to a follow up question I had about flower essences. It's been four days since our session, and my chronic neck pain that I've had for 10 weeks is significantly better - in a way my chiropractor couldn't help. I'm really glad I made the investment in my healing session with Deborah and now understand why she has so many positive, genuine reviews (she's not compensating us or giving us discounts to write these, like some businesses do!). I'm very grateful to have found Deborah - she is truly gifted.
