I was met with snide and half hearted responses. The receptionist refused to give me her name or provide any information on their current staff of therapists. She did state that they have known Toni for 30 years so that should be enough for someone that is going to be letting their heart out, right. So disgusted with her behavior and the way this establishment has handled business.

I appreciated that Haley was able to find us an appointment only two weeks out since we were having an urgent situation, however, apparently that wasn't enough time for Leah Shuffleton to review any of the paperwork before our appointment. This left a really sour taste in my mouth, especially since Leah mentioned in the session that she's doing this only part time as a second job. We cancelled all future appointments and are still pursuing divorce at this point. I will always wonder if things would have been different had we had a better chance at addressing our issues at that critical time.

I appreciate Jennifer's review, very well thought out and penned. I interviewed Dr Rubanowitz…read moreover the phone, but we just didn't click. I did like that he seemed thorough and focused, but not a team player. In my case, I have ideas and questions about my mental health disorders that I would have liked to explore with Dr Rabinowitz's input and guidance, and then perhaps explore different treatment options together. Dr Rubanowitz, however, would have none of this. I was able to deduce that he is very controlling, and isn't going to spend a lot of time listening to input or concerns from his patients. His approach and character are not necessarily a negative thing. For example his controlling personality along with lack of listening to a person's input and concerns could be a positive thing, that is, if a person has absolutely no mind of their own, and are incapable of making decisions for themselves. So if you are able to fully submit to his authority without question, I believe you will both click and get along just fine. Whether or not his methods will work out for you in the end, I can't speak to that. You might read Jennifer's' post for more insight in this area.

This psychologist does some things well and some things not...or the "nots" may just be the things…read morehe is unwilling to do, as he did warn me that his practice is very focused. How much so it took me awhile to realize. He is all about "the toolbox" and, for some, this may be all they need. But you have to be at a certain point in your therapy journey for this to work. He emphasizes over and over that you have to be super motivated to make it work. But those of us struggling with depression, especially MDD, and trauma, and/or severe anxiety, which I have all of, know that getting motivated is one of the hardest parts, and he offered no ideas for accomplishing this state of mind. There were many times when I was trying to discuss particular problems I was having where I felt a kind of frustration or impatience emanating from him: he just wanted to get to the toolbox, was what I felt. And it's cool to see how enthusiastic he is about it. He really lights up. But an example of how I didn't feel properly cared for: I had, at the time, suicidal ideations. That is, I wasn't actually going to commit the act, but I thought about it night and day and it tormented me. When doing one of his exercises he asked what I was thinking about and I said 'Robin Williams', who had just killed himself. And he responded, "that's irrelevant ". Another time I brought up having these feelings and he asked if I needed to go to the hospital. When I said " no" he moved on. He doesn't seem to realize that people in this state need help to overcome the thoughts. We need to be able to talk about them without worrying about being carted off to some padded room (and though I've never been to a Redding psych facility I'm quite sure that the experience would be awful.) Now I'm on Zoloft for that, but it's not a permanent solution. Or, I was always worried about losing my job because I have memory and focus issues that cause me to make mistakes. But instead of trying to help me find ways to focus or think of accommodations that my employer could implement to help me, he told me just that the past didn't indicate the present, I.e. just because I'd lost jobs in the past doesn't mean I'll lose this one. He also has this method, and it's quite clear what he's trying to do, where he counteracts the negative things you are saying with something positive. But the way it feels is that he isn't listening to you, and this is what most people on the outside will do as well. So if I say, I can't find anything to do with my spare time that interests me, first he makes me rephrase can't as "won't let", which is really annoying when you are putting all the effort you have into something, and then he goes on to suggest the things you've already tried and says that the negative patient is the one who says (like Eeyore) " that will never work". But no, seriously doc, a cup of tea is not overcoming my major depressive disorder, and neither is a hot shower. Again, this is likely just about where a person is in their healing and therapy process. I think he needs to either be more selective about who he accepts as patients (only those who are really ready for his methods) or open himself up to listening to what his patients are trying to say, because quite often we already have some idea of what we need. I recommend him if you want to learn mindfulness, for example, but not if you are seriously bleeped up, like me.

I read the previous review about billing practices and I've never had any issues. Robin was very upfront with the billing, I think I only paid for one full appointment until they could verify my insurance. Folks often have issues paying their medical bills so that's just to protect themselves. Robin made a point to speak to me before the end of the year to see what changes, if any, I'd made with my insurance so there wouldn't be any surprises with being able to afford my appointments in January. She is very mindful and knows financial surprises are not good for my mental health :) I honestly can't put into words how much she has helped me and I'm so grateful to have found her.
