I have been seeing Serge for almost 6 years. I have seen several therapists over the past 20 years and I have never stayed with any one therapist for longer than 1 year because I stopped receiving new benefits after a certain time. Serge is very different than any other therapist, in my experience. First of all, he is a life coach and focused on positive, small actions and mindfulness to make lasting changes in your life. He has helped me to overcome anxiety, depression, and confidence issues. Through his unique approach, I have learned to be more present to my emotions, rather than react to them in the moment, and over time, I react and process stressful situations in a much healthier way. When I first saw him, I thought his approach was unusual, even uncomfortable at times, because he would have me act out and connnect with what I was really feeling/thinking in specific situations that upset me. At first, I had a hard time even connecting with what was really going on in my mind. But I stuck with it and with his help, I became more connected and it has dramatically transformed how I interact with others, both in personal relationships and in my career. He has also helped me with public presentations and writing resumes and cover letters. And unlike other therapists, I never became burdened with this sense of having a disease (ie. depression) that is permanent and dangerous, as so many other therapist made me feel. I am empowered to investigate what makes me human. And he does it in such a subtle, compassionate way. I cannot say enough about Serge Prengel. He is very dedicated to his clients (not "patients"!) and he is one of the best. read more
