I can't even explain how Raquele changed my life…read more We met earlier this year when I was going through a hard time. Upon my search, I knew I wanted a woman of color specializing in relationships whether it be family or romantic partners. After reading her profile I was convinced and I sent a note. She dialed me immediately and I cried. It was then when I knew I had to move forward to an in person meeting and continue sessions. Raquele made me feel safe earlier on. Where my outlandish thoughts and behavior was welcomed and not judged. It feels very natural to me, and not the kind of questions and dynamic you see in films. It's all relaxing and welcoming environment. She's very knowledgeable too! She always recommends books and passages for me to read to give me perspective and challenge my thoughts. Love it all. She affirms me and it makes me feel like I'm not alone or crazy to think/behave the way I do. Over the last few months together with consistent sessions, I am truly a better woman thanks to her. Ive grown up a lot, with her help! I've been through a lot this past year with the various categories of life, and she has been a constant figure who pushes me to show up for myself and heal through it all. Alright, basically if you're looking for someone to help you grow or work out some stuff, she's your girl. Love you so much Raquele (if you're reading this!)

I knew it was there, but I was so low that I couldn't surface it on my own. After uncovering the issues and resolving them, my husband and I started going for couples therapy to better our communication and keep our relationship on the path of success in friendship and love. It has been extremely helpful for us, and I can't thank her enough for the growth I've experienced personally as well as in my marriage. Seeing Raquel has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself as an adult and for the health of my marriage. I love her and would recommend her to anyone who's looking to better themselves and their family. Shine on girl.

Before I initially went to her, I really appreciated that she called me to see whether the issues I was having would be best treated by the type of services she offered. This made me immediately feel that she was interested in my wellbeing regardless of if I went to her or not--which is certainly not the feeling I have encountered when I previously sought out other mental health care providers. It's worth noting that her goal wasn't to keep me as a long term client, but to provide me with coping strategies and skills to better handle stressors and other life challenges. Overall, I am very pleased with the experience.

I highly recommend Dr. Hanakawa to any future prospective patients. She's able to connect in a genuinely compassionate, healing manner.

I had AMAZING THERAPY SESSIONS with Dr. Hanakawa to get rid of my PHOBIA and anxiety around it in…read morejust seven sessions! I just wanted to thank her and share this experience with others so that others like me feel easy to at least try it out instead of suffering through it. She is not only a skillful and knowledgeable therapist, but her personality is down to earth, genuinely sweet and kind. She also seems to take a good care of her own health, meditate, and study constantly to keep up to be a good therapist (I cannot listen to a doctor who looks unhealthy and tells me to be healthy, you know?) so that I can talk about both psychological (phobia and stress) issues as well as physical concerns (I do not like psychoanalysts who think every physical symptom comes from psychosomatic symptoms). I was surprised that it did not take much time for me to relax and trust her. I used to have very sever hemophobia (afraid of blood), and I tried all kinds of therapy to get rid of it over many years. I used to faint by just drawing out my blood; CBT and other psychotherapy reduced my symptoms and cognitive fear, but I was still physically shaky whenever I was around blood (even cooking meat was hard). Since I was working in the mental health industry for several years, I've worked with several top psychiatrists who also did psychotherapy, PsyD., counselors, and clinical social workers... I myself had a great psychoanalyst mentor (Ph.D., who went to the same school as Dr. Hanakawa) for 4 years, and I thought I had quite bit of insight. My ex-mentor figured out that my phobia started through some event during my childhood, so she recommended me to find a Japanese speaking psychologist who could do hypno-therapy (She said it is more effective to use the language that I was using as a child). There are many Japanese clinical social workers in NY, but not many Ph.D.s... It would have been fine with other people, but it was a problem for me because I know the difference in their training. Then, one of my friends, who works for a Japanese newspaper company heard good things about her, and introduced me to Dr. Hanakawa. So I went to see her. I am a very scientific thinker, so I must say I was a bit skeptical if this therapy would work or not after trying so many other things. I heard some phobias are innate (such as blood, heights and snakes, etc.), so I thought talking about traumatic views I evidenced (which was not that serious anyway, I thought) would not benefit me as much. Oh, Boy, I'm so glad I was wrong though. She guided me into a meditative state, and took me to my childhood event. It was a totally different experience to see the event from a 5-yr old's eyes, and it gave me a new perspective that I did not have before. We worked on it over a month or so, and I started to feel lighter almost immediately (of course, it put me up and down a bit as I was learning new things about my past that I was not facing, but Dr. Hanakawa was there to support me). One day, I was watching a bloody surgery video as part of CBT exposure therapy technique. I used to push myself to watch them more than 15 minutes, but I always got pale and felt sick. It became easier, and now I can watch them with absolutely no symptoms! She said the speed of therapy is really depending on the patient's condition, type of therapy, and previous exposure to psychotherapy. I assume it was very quick for me because I already had previous therapy experience, had some insights about myself, and meditate regularly (it helps to get hypnotized). So please don't get frustrated if your therapy takes little longer... you will be in good hands! :)

I was a bit hesitant but at that point working a 12 hour shift I needed a company that took care of my family's needs when I wasn't around. Honestly, UniversaCare were so easy to communicate with, they are friendly, reliable and most importantly caring. I can work my shifts worry free and usually I don't leave reviews but I hope this helps someone who was in need like I was. The best part is this company is run by a family, which makes them even more understanding of issues that need to be taken care of. I would recommend this company to others!

All you can do is leave a message with the front desk who then sends a message to billing who never calls you back. I was charged almost $700 for two months of sessions that they claim my insurance didn't cover (even though I had the same insurance for two years of sessions here, and it was always covered). My insurance company DID cover this, which I and they have proof of, and my insurance company also couldn't reach the billing department because THEY DON'T HAVE A PHONE NUMBER and won't respond to e-mails in a timely manner. I now have to dispute the charge with my bank since this billing department not only continues to ignore me but refuses to provide any sort of invoice, bill or proof that my insurance "didn't cover" two months of sessions. Also, they didn't even notify me or send me a bill--they just directly charged my card 5 times the amount they normally do without any explanation. I have bills and rent to pay. I can't afford that. This is ridiculous.

I found Dr. Helbich as a last ditch effort thanks to ZocDoc on a particularly low/chaotic sunday morning.. First delight he actually DID have an appointment for that VERY same day (his office hours are friday-monday) which simply put is an EXTREMELY rare occurrence to obtain a same day appointment for therapy anywhere let alone Manhattan in which month long waiting lists are more common than not, let alone having WEEKEND & evening hours!! I easily booked through ZocDoc and within the hour he called me. His calming demeanor over the phone and genuine empathy even when acquiring basic information via the phone immediately put me at ease with my anxiety. He also confirmed the appointment time as well as discussed his rate and informed me that although he isn't in network with my insurance that he would be happy to provide me an invoice for me to submit for reimbursement. He also provided detailed instructions oh how to get to his office which is VERY convienietly located in the village. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that Dr. H is THE most empathic, KNOWLEDGABLE, compassionate, dedicated, solutions based, insightful, honest, brilliant, genuinely cares & wants to help, very understanding, seemingly endlessly patient, ALWAYS punctual which I particularly appreciate considering my schedule is usually pretty tight/varies from week to week. He also is a very active/engaged listener and has provided me with invaluable insights and strategies that have proven very helpful with the delicate yet extremely traumatic issues that are on my horizon. I have never looked forward to seeing a therapist before however Dr. Helbich really has been able help me in a multitude of ways that I am eternally grateful and actually do look forward to our sessions as a reprieve even though the next layers of our journey together are extremely daunting on the horizon. I would completely 1000000000000% recommend him.
