I was Dr. Monkarsh's patient for two years, and it was the best gift I have given myself. He…read morehelped me change my life entirely and I am grateful for his services. There is no price tag that can repay him for helping me transform from sad and feeling hopeless in a challenging long-term marriage to now being happy, strong, energetic, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic about life. I am my "old self" once again. That is priceless. I am of Hispanic-American ethnicity, and seeking therapy is a cultural "taboo" in my family. Yet, after over 22 years in a very difficult marriage and extreme unhappiness I knew that I needed professional help that could help me get clarity. It was with trepidation that I entered his office, and I immediately realized that Dr. Monkarsh was professional, an excellent listener, genuine, compassionate and yet straight-forward in a gentle manner. He asked me open-ended questions, without judgment, that made me think of my situation and how I could solve challenges. Because I am a task-oriented individual, he gave me weekly assignments and we picked up from there each session. It was not easy to do the soul-searching and face hard areas of my life, but he never gave up on me and he genuinely cared. He was a non-biased clinical psychologist who was honest with me, even when it was difficult. He was the confidential professional that I needed to help me transform my life. I felt safe, respected and not alone. Dr. Monkarsh is now working with my 23-year old daughter and he is helping her with the same care and professionalism he offered me as his past patient. As a mom, I am extremely grateful for the help he is providing her and I feel relieved and at peace that my daughter is receiving his services. My daughter and I do not discuss their sessions and I respect her privacy, yet I see the positive changes in her life through her work with Dr. Monkarsh as well. I am fortunate to have been Dr. Monkarsh's patient. My only regret is that I had not worked with him decades before.

Not only has he helped me gain confidence in my medical condition, but he allows my mom to sit in on every session. Gary is a speedy guy like me. To be honest, I don't want to go to therapy, I just want to feel better on my own. However, I can't fix everything by myself. So, I hired Dr. Monkarsh to repair my mental illness. He believes in safe practice. He has never suggested any medication or treatments that are harmful.

Dr. Rhinewine is an absolutely terrific psychologist and therapist. He is kind, warm,…read morenon-judgmental, so very smart, creative, open, and insightful. He practices mindfulness-based therapy and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and does both wonderfully. He excels at explaining and implementing his therapeutic guidance and interventions, and his modalities are very supported and successful. He's funny too, and fun to be around. I saw him for years and only left because I had certain special needs that arose that requires a different therapist (and that Dr. Rhinewine, being a consummate, honest, caring professional, said he wouldn't be best to meet and so I should work with someone else--what a mensch!). I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Rhinewine!!

This clinic was not helpful for my anxiety. I attended a…read moresession in NW Portland. The therapist returned my call promptly and was able to schedule an appointment immediately. I was given quite a bit of paper work to complete before hand. Some of the life questions were ambiguous and needed context so I left them blank. The therapist and I were not a good match. The therapist asked me to describe my anxiety issues. The therapist neither attempted to link the anxious feelings to any underlying issue nor did he offer any tools to handle panic attacks. I found him rather confrontational and we both agreed to end the session early and discontinue any meetings. Maybe someone else will have a different experience. Good Luck to anyone seeking therapy.
