I won't go into detail about my life and why I need therapy, but my therapist, Denise, has been a…read morelifesaver. I highly recommend Denise, and this practice overall. If you love dogs, Denise brings her dog to every appointment. Denise's dog is well behaved and his calming nature helps me a ton. Therapy dogs are no joke! They do help people a ton. Their new location provides a ton of free street and neighborhood parking. If you don't have a car, they're right next to a bus stop on Armitage, so convenience is still there. This practice really cares about their clients on all levels (ex. mental, financial, emotional, and etc), so don't be afraid to try this practice. Plus, they have been really flexible with scheduling, which is a characteristic that other practices don't have (Trust me, I've checked).

I started seeing Amy at the suggestion of my psychiatrist in order to help with some sleeping…read moreissues through cognitive behavioral therapy. Honestly, I was extremely resistant - I didn't want to see a therapist, I didn't want to talk through issues, and I really didn't think CBT would help at all with my sleeping problems. I finally gave in, agreeing to "time box" the sessions to 10 weeks, just to give it a shot and see if it would help. After my first session with Amy, my wife and I both noticed improvements in my ability to fall asleep, my quality of sleep, and my overall mood and energy because of my sleep, within just a couple of days. Fast forward several months later, including multiple weeks of seeing Amy more than once a week. The 10 week "time box" is obviously well past, and I've begun to allow Amy and her expertise into more of my life and to help me deal with even more issues in my life, from being a better husband, father, employee, and just a better person in general. To be completely honest, I really wanted to not like seeing a therapist, and frankly, not like Amy. But now, I can't imagine my life without seeing Amy and having her help me through things, give me my homework, and help me to learn that I can work through mental hurdles with various strategies she's taught me. Amy has always been available - she's very prompt to return phone calls and even text messages when I have needed her, has been very flexible to work around my schedule, and genuinely cares about me and my family. If you're looking for a great therapist and someone who will care about you, get to know you, and take time for you, I highly recommend Amy. She's helped more than my sleep, she's changed my life and sticking with her past 10 weeks has been the best decision I've made in a long time.

After seeking help for depression following my divorce, my trauma symptoms were diagnosed as…read morebipolar disorder. I spent the next 25 years medicated, confused, and increasingly isolated. I lost years of my life and much of the optimism and joy I once had. I am finally getting help that better fits what I believe was the real problem, but I can never recover the decades that were lost. While my former therapist has moved on with her career, I am still living with the consequences of those years. That is a devastating reality, and I would want anyone considering treatment to know my experience.

Like most guys I was afraid to go a psychologist for marriage counseling. I was afraid of what I…read morewould find in side myself or how the Psychologist would only take my wife's side and belittle me. Dr Z listened, asked questions, gave me candy (ok that always works to improve my mood) and did'nt say anything negative to me that wasn't true and offered advice and how I could realistically change. I can't say enough good stuff about Dr Zamick. She has helped me and my wife with marriage counseling, business counseling, gotten me through the hardest times of my adult life and probably saved my life getting me through addiction issues with prescription meds after a spinal surgery. She has been patient, kind and hard as nails when it was needed. Dr Zamick's office in old town is very relaxing, smells nice and is very clean. She deals with most major counseling issues and has worked with my weird hours for my business. My wife Cherish and I both see her together and seperately and we advise our friends to come see her as well. I didn't know what to expect when I was looking for a Pisces, female, empathic, Jewish Psychologist (yeah I know I'm picky) but I got a great counselor!! 5 Stars!!

She's kind, professional, thorough and makes it easy to talk through concerns and ask questions. What I appreciate most is that she doesn't just default to prescribing medication; she looks at the whole picture. I've seen excellent results with her care, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, compassionate person who tailors treatment to your specific situation. She is phenomenal! I highly recommend her and would give a 10/10!!! Plus bonus points. So lucky I found her.

I've been thinking a lot about this situation with my prescriber, and I keep going back and forth…read moreon what I could have done differently versus what they could have done better. On one hand, I can see that technically I could have communicated more clearly about the issues I was having with the medication. I could've saved the number that called me when I had contact that one time. Looking back, some of it seems like it could have been simple, like just saying more directly what I was experiencing. I can kind of imagine someone else maybe would've handled it differently. But at the same time, I'm realizing that I wasn't really given clear instructions on what exactly to track or how to measure symptoms. She told me a few things to watch out for, but emotions and side effects can look different for everybody--and that was never really acknowledged or broken down. There wasn't much guidance on what counted as "serious" or what to do if I wasn't sure. It felt like I was expected to just know how to handle all of it, and I didn't. Part of me feels kind of stupid because now that I'm on the other side of it, I can see some things I maybe could've done. But my logical side knows that this was all new to me, and I did the best I could with the support I had--which honestly wasn't a lot. I wasn't given tools, I wasn't offered follow-up until I pushed for it, and when I did try to express myself, I felt like I was being brushed off or talked down to. At one point she even made a mocking face when I asked a genuine question. That really made me feel small. I don't want to just sit in blame, either way. I want to understand what healthy accountability looks like for both me and a provider in a situation like this--because I do want to be someone who communicates clearly and takes care of my health. But I also want to feel safe and respected when I do. Right now, I just feel confused, a little embarrassed, and frustrated. Though I do have to say, Senami still has experience with medication, and gives basic starter medications, so it's not like she's going hay wire, this was just my experience because of my reactions to the medications.
