I am very disappointed with Comprehensive Consultation Psychological Services. I originally had a…read moregood experience with the friendly and professional staff that evaluated me in December. Everything since then has amounted to the most consistently unprofessional conduct I have ever encountered. Much like the other reviewer, I was told I could expect the results of my examination within eight weeks. I called immediately at the eight week mark, as I have certain difficulties in school and wanted to resolve them as soon as possible. They told me to wait two more weeks. I called two weeks later and again, I am told I have to wait two more weeks for the results. At this point, I am beginning to think there is some type of weird scam being performed but I continued to follow up for the results because they were so important to me. After all the run around, I got the test results in April. In early June, when I had time for a follow up to discuss the results with one of the staff members, I called and got an appointment for July. They called me three times to reschedule the appointment, which was fine, but I started to get worried knowing what I already went through with them. I finally show up for my appointment today, and lo and behold, I was not scheduled for the date and time THEY had rescheduled me for. There was no record of an appointment whatsoever! I just want them to refer me out at this point. This ineptitude is beyond what patients should tolerate in a medical setting. Follow up: After I emailed my grievance I received an immediate and helpful response from Dr. Hafeez. My original consultation with her was great so I will be using their services at least one additional time. The errors, although frustrating, seem to be clerical and unrelated to the psychological services which I was pleased with.

I am writing in response to your reply to my review…read more I want to reiterate that my concerns regarding potential racial bias in the testing process were not addressed. The results and interpretation raised significant concerns for me, and I would have expected at minimum an acknowledgment that bias in psychological assessment is a recognized issue that requires careful consideration--especially when a patient explicitly raises it. Additionally, your characterization of my decision to seek a second opinion as "shopping for a diagnosis" was inappropriate and dismissive. Seeking further evaluation is a standard and reasonable step in mental health care, particularly when questions remain about testing methods or diagnostic conclusions. In my case, the second opinion is coming from two highly qualified professionals--a psychiatrist and a neuropsychologist--whose expertise is equal to or exceeds that of many general practices. There are a range of highly specialized neuropsychological practices available, such as Curect Neuropsychology, that focus specifically on comprehensive and structured assessment. Given the nature of my concerns, it is especially important that evaluations be conducted in a way that is careful, culturally informed, and free from potential bias, so that patients--particularly those from marginalized backgrounds--can feel confident that their experiences are being accurately and fairly understood. I also want to again address the issue of punctuality. Being over two hours late to my appointment significantly impacted the session and my experience of care. I did not receive any acknowledgment or apology for this in your response, which I find concerning given the extent of the delay. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE A BLACK WOMAN SEEKING AN UNBIASED AND ACCURATE ASSESSMENT FOR YOUR CONCERNS, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PRACTICE.

Dr. Granda changed my life. I have seen Dr, Granda over several years and she has been a major…read moredriver of my growth, ability to navigate both every day and life stressors, and overall well being. Yes, she is not for the faint of heart. She is kind but candid. She will push you to break through your barriers and challenge you at times. She is a mixture of a life coach and a therapist. I can not say enough about the impact Dr. Granda has had on my life. I am eternally grateful.

There aren't enough words to describe what a monster this person is…read more My first time there, she had forgotten that we had an appointment. That type of scheduling confusion and lack of professionalism was constant throughout the months I was her patient. Meanwhile, if I was running late, she'd berate me and insult me. This knowing that I live over an hour away by public transport, and have lost access to a car. She never took notes, and though she'd remember some things, she'd completely forget entire sessions we'd had. It was difficult and brave and important for me to talk to someone about my traumas, and I would, and at the moment she's be understanding, and ten she'd forget. She was hard of hearing due to what she claims is a brain tumor, and yet she wouldn't believe me, or anyone else when they'd tell her she misheard. She was always abusive towards her receptionist, calling him stupid and blaming her shortcomings on him. She never diagnosed me with anything, but then if I disagreed with her she'd throw around serious diagnoses like insults. When id ask what behaviors of mine were making her think I had these "disorders" she had no answers. She was racist, multiple times. She was a victim blaming rape apologist. She would often tell me personal details about her life. Sometimes they were pertinent to what was going on in mine, and sometimes hey were so out of left field id have to remind her what we were talking about. I know about her days getting her toes sucked at plato's retreat, about her ex husband's heroin addiction, and many other things. She cursed constantly, and had called me "not a human being." She has literally fallen asleep during a session. The sad thing is that I came to her in such dire need of a therapist, and my insurance would only cover her or one other therapist who was not taking new patients. This woman has been a monster. A monster. She knows nothing about me, and literally made "waaaah waaaahhh " noises making fun of me because I was crying. My life is much worse because of her, and that's saying something because I went to her in shambles. She's about 100 years old and is not long get fit to practice, if she ever was. It's bad news. She doesn't even deserve one star, but the app won't allow it any other way.

In my work as a psychiatrist, I have referred multiple patients to Laura Young over the years and…read morehave also had the opportunity to collaborate with her professionally. In each case, I've been impressed by the quality and consistency of her work. I am selective about where I refer patients, and have felt consistently confident entrusting individuals and couples to Laura's care. Laura is a highly skilled couples therapist, family therapist, and individual therapist in New York City, with particular strength in working with relationship dynamics, communication issues, and complex family systems. Patients I've referred to her have reported meaningful progress, especially in the areas of couples therapy and relationship counseling. She brings a thoughtful, structured, and effective approach to her work. I feel confident recommending her to individuals, couples, and families seeking high-quality therapy with an experienced LCSW in NYC.

Laura was so supportive and gave us skills to understand one another and look at different perspectives. She is a very skilled mediator and brought us all closer together. We are much happier as a family and as individuals. During Covid and the lockdown, I began to see Laura individually. I was overwhelmed by a life-changing illness that challenged all aspects of life. She helped me organize my mind and my priorities, alleviating my anxiety and depression. Life is now much more manageable. I highly recommend Laura Young. She has helped me and my family get through the tough times. I no longer feel overwhelmed and helpless. I am very grateful for her expertise and kindness.
