I caution any protective parent about engaging Dr. Mira Levitt for GAL work. First you should know,…read moreDr. Levitt is on the AFCC board, an organization that advocates parent contact is in the child's best interest even in cases with abuse and she operates from that framework. Her recommendations will be written as a path to reunification even with findings of abuse. She will scrutinized the protective parent and believe the abusive parent at their word and write a report that blames the victims far more than it holds the abuser accountable. In my case, Dr. Levitt's report failed to acknowledge clear patterns of abuse escalation. She minimized irrefutable proof, school, DCF, pediatrician and child therapist reports. She never even bothered to call witnesses to physical abuse. Her words carry weight in court, her recommendations stripped our youngest children of their childhoods and our oldest attempted suicide when the court began implementing her reunification recommendations. While the role of a GAL may not be easy, our case was filled with evidence and DCF findings, she recommended reunification anyway. She will not protect you or your children. She will recommend a physically and emotionally abusive parent gradually gains more access and parental rights.

I've been working with Mary Heath of Focus Hypnosis since early summer. Let me just start off by…read moresaying that I'm NOT the kind of person you'd ever think would ever try hypnosis: I'm pretty skeptical in general & downright cynical about things that seem at all mystical or hocus-pocus. However, I've been unsuccessful in trying to make some changes in myself, and my disappointment in myself was negatively impacting my self-esteem and coloring almost every aspect of my life. I was literally out of other ideas so I investigated hypnotherapy, and I found some info about Mary Heath and Focus Hypnosis on her website...frankly, I didn't think I COULD be hypnotized but out of desperation (and curiosity!) & figuring I had nothing to lose, I made an appointment. I found Mary to be a complete and knowledgeable professional, and she took her time to answer all my questions and concerns involving her practice & hypnosis in general. She's very warm and empathetic (and to my relief, she's not covered in crystals, wearing mystical symbols or reeking of patchouli or sage!), and holds professional credentials and adheres to established ethical standards for hypnotherapy. She asked questions and took some personal history in order to gain insight into my concerns; after I explained to her what it was that I wanted to get out of my sessions, she was able to tailor her approach to my personal circumstances. She made no promises and offered no "magic, but explained that she has had much success in helping people replace old negative patterns (quitting smoking, reducing stress, irrational fears, getting past a lost relationship or loved one, etc.) by retraining you to change the way you think about such things, while in a state of deep relaxation. I noticed positive changes even after the first session, and more changes after additional sessions. Mary also provides exercises for self-hypnosis training, and includes reinforcement CDs for your own use at home to support lasting change. I feel like I'm on my way to making improvements in my life, thanks to Mary's help. Anyone considering hypnotherapy for the first time (even a skeptic like me!) should consider meeting with Mary for a consultation. I'm really glad I did.

I had already stopped taking him seriously before then -- he interrupted me and put his hand in front of my face to tell me to "slow dowwwwwwn" in a curt tone when I was talking several times over multiple dates, including immediately after my having explained to him the nature of my speech impediment. He then made disparaging comments about how it was clear that I struggled a lot with math growing up and saying "it's very obvious to me you were never going to be an engineer." Professionalism, anyone? Some neuropsychiatrists are relegated to, or choose testing as their focus either because they don't have the skills or personality to hack it as a provider of therapeutic services, or because they just don't care. I can't tell which is Steven's case, and it doesn't help to know which it is (if not both). His written report was alright -- long and detailed, with some level (10-15%) of error and misstating of the biographical facts I gave. I only went to him because he was the only person whom my health insurance covered these services from. If he were the only option, I would go again -- but I won't ever seek his help again and will get more detailed testing from a more competent professional who can read the room better.

I have my doubts whether the psychologists bring anything good to the world and people in general, but giving it a benefit of doubts, I still would recommend you to spend your money somewhere else.

He refuses answering the questions, keeping noting that "we are short on time", he doesn't actually explain how exactly his "recommendations" could help. Mr. Steven C. Hentoff is just useless.
