I am a veteran with ptsd, tbi and multiple other anxiety disorders. I've tried working with doctors at the Veterans Affairs since 2009 and none have came close to the way my sessions with Dr. Novitzky are. Thank God I found out about him on a site just like this and I've felt the best since he's been my psychiatrist. Totally worth trying out Novitzky MD Boutique if you are feeling too stressed out in life. I spent most of the past 9 years since I got out of the Army in and out of mental institutions going over the same routine and racked up over 10s of thousands in debt that the VA would not cover, going to hospitals because of panic attacks. 3 times in the beginning I still went to hospitals but that was just until he got my medication dosage right and now just talking to him and taking my medication has kept me out of hospitals and debt free. Highly recommend. Great guy. Great doc. Great friend.

    Dr Yacoub is great. He really takes his time with me and remembers personal details about my life…read more He always asks about my boyfriend and he takes his time explaining things. However, this office has some shady billing practices. The company that handles their bills disguises their phone number to make it look like you're receiving a call from the doctors office. Once you call back, you are forced to stay on hold for over 30 minutes before you even find out what the call is even about. When I questioned the rep about calling, he said I owed $150 from over a year ago. Never received a bill and I pay my copay every month. When I questioned the rep further he said oh never mind, "disregard the call" and it looks like I have a visit that was never sent to the insurance and they will send my account over to accounts receivable to sort out all my payments. Forty minutes of my life that I'll never get back. And they woke me up after working a 16hr shift! To say I'm a little irate is an understatement.

I was charged for sessions almost a year after I left the practice and am still trying to get the billing issue cleared up but they won't return my calls or give me any answers. DO NOT GO HERE, find a different therapy office that will actually help you and not make your problems worse.

    TLDR- it's fantastic…read more This is a long review... I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. I broke up all the reasons I think Therapy for Women is amazing below. The values: This practice is based on mutual trust. You're therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing. Additionally, the open conversations make sessions comfortable/feel less like a doctors appointment. Therapy for Women also makes a point to let you know that you can switch therapists at anytime. Besides therapy won't be effective if you aren't comfortable with who you are talking too. In the office: The atmosphere is calming and quiet. Therapists have white noise machines at their door so your conversations will never be heard by someone passing by. If you are finding it hard to share something most therapists have art supplies, cards, fidget toys or board games that you are able to play during the session. The sessions are flexible and can be tailored to what you need. This is especially great for people like me with ADHD. The online portal: This might not be something many people think is important but the online portal is so simple. The rules, expectations, and prices for the practice are shared openly once you become a client so there is transparency. If you are ever confused about something or wondering about your last bill it is easy to look up past records and chat with your therapist directly. Price: Therapy for Women does not accept insurance (this is my understanding/ I'm not sure if there are specific exceptions). Sessions are relatively expensive since insurance doesn't cover the cost. However, Jen is a therapist I could stick with for years and I feel it is completely worth the extra cost. Over all: I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.

    I've been treated with amazing kindness and professionalism…read more This is the place for women to get through the bad stuff Hope everyone feels ok today

    I was looking for something for my 81YO grandmother diagnosed with dementia. She was manageable at…read morehome for a while, but she isnt always compliant with her medication and she often goes thru angry outbursts and for her age to be trying to get up and throw stuff makes the situation even worse - those episodes are putting others at risk of injury and most importantly, injury to self. Experiencing this at closehand, especially with someone who has dementia, they forget that they are not as able as they are used to. Often, they think they are living in their past lives when they are still young, energetic maybe they were dating at a the time or even living in a different household. When these episodes come up, of course, they remember, they panic and sets them on a frenzy. It gets to a point that holistic care has reached its limit and of course you would have to resort to a crisis center and medication. Getting them medicated isnt a bad thing and oftentimes its necessary. Morgan at admissions walked me thru the process just so I (and you) will be prepared in the event that someone has to be brought in. The check in process is rather simple and they welcome walk-ins. Just remember that you do check in your contraband and anything that could be a cause of self harm (like shoelaces, cables, blunt objects)They allow you to have a few personal articles of your clothing and they also allow you to bring in a new, unopened pack of cigarettes. After getting checked in, youre brought in to be evaluated in one of the private rooms so they can see how they can help you and what unit you would be able to fit in the best - i'll get more into that later. In my case, if my grandmother consents, im able to join her in the room and also share what she is experiencing and help fill in more of the story. I recommend that it would be super helpful to have handy a list of medication they are already taking so that they can use it as a reference, there are no negative side effects and if at all, could be adjusted or even removed. So youre probably thinking, there are those who come in because they are suicidal, homicidal, lethargic and in my grandmother's case- aggressive. They have different units for each kind of level of care for the patients. So aggressive patients wouldnt be mixed with those who are calm - in fact, they might need something more secured and what other behavioral units call - a locked unit. These units are more supervised and monitored so that when a behavioral episode happens, at least they dont get themselves hurt. To my surprise, its rare nowadays, but they have a unit also for adolescents - just in case you might think of someone who needs the help. Adolescents stay with adolescents and separated by males and females. Adults with adults. Seniors with seniors. Detox with detox. "Oh its just the facade, its only pretty in the front. They knew you were coming in." - Actually no. I walked in cold, unannounced and asked if i can check out their unit. Morgan walked me through their hallway and showed me their locked (yet open) unit. Even just peering thru the windows prior to walking in, i can already hear and see the staff interacting with the patients. Its a very friendly, human and calm tone. Like it doesnt even feel like a behavioral unit. Theyre just chill. What if i need to get a hold of my grandmother to check in on her? Everyone who checks in, their designated contact will receive a keyword or a keyphrase to allow the operator to grant them access to speak with whoever is admitted into the unit. So i feel more comfortable checking in on her even when her phone is deposited. Just remember you claim it back on discharge. Mostly, patients can roam around their designated units. Interact with other patients and there are nurses on standby if they need help with their mobility or if they need assistance with their dailies. Im strongly considering taking my loved ones here especially when my grandmother goes into crisis mode. Now im more confident in the process and i'll be prepared when her need arises. Im sure she can be helped but also, do always check in with your specialist and make sure they stay in compliance with their medication.

    Some nurses are creepy and belong in horror movies. There…read moreare fences (with barb wire) around that facility and while not Guatanamo Bay one cannot movie around freely. It is more like a low security prison than a respectable place for people to recover. They will say...we will know when you do not tell us the truth and we will keep you here for as long as we find it necessary. Knowing it is all for profit, scares the hell out of me. On the other hand there are also nice nurses who are considerate and respectful. But I would not spend a minute there if I was given a choice. Lot of disturbed people there of course and they may put you with them, which I do not think is healing or appealing. I think it is stressful especially knowing the facility is secured. Understandable but it feels eery. I guess it is not always easy to assess people on checkin, but nevertheless they should not put people with different diagnoses always together. Think about that. Should the patient think I belong here or rather not? On the other hand it is important for patients to socialize with each other. Not sure about nurses acting against the will of a uncooperative patient.
