Karen Motan is exactly what everyone has said, compassionate and intuitive. Her understanding of…read morepeople and her active listening technique makes you realize she understands what you need. She has very practical experience in life and that always builds my confidence when it comes to a therapist. She's experienced and provides real feedback and shows genuine interest. I think there is nothing's better than feeling like you can speak to someone and they help you make changes in your life instead of talking to someone who you feel like you're just updating every week. In therapy, you want to make progress not a life long commitment to attending therapy and I believe she understands that and her motivation is in making people feel good and productive.

Karen is such an awesome therapist. She listens and provides actionable feedback to strengthen…read morecommunication. She's patient and thoughtful in her responses. All of our sessions were over Zoom (thanks to Covid), but nonetheless she made the environment feel safe, open, and connected, as if she were right there with you. Talking to her is like talking to an unbiased trusted friend. She makes all parties involved feel respected and heard. She doesn't take sides, but finds a way to make everyone feel like they have valid concerns and gives communication strategies to help navigate through tough conversations or hot buttons in a relationship. She's the first therapist I've ever worked with who has given actionable tools to use in everyday situations, instead of just listening and saying she'll see me next week. If you show up open and ready to work to see results, I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with your experience. I HIGHLY recommend her!

He is able to hear the story behind one's words with great empathy. He is kind, wise, and generous in spirit. I honestly am not sure how I would have gotten through the last year without his support. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Her rates might be on the high side for some (I read the other review) but I personally found her to be extremely ethical - and reasonably priced for her expertise and background.

Dr. Santangelo is a wonderful, witty, incredibly intelligent and insightful therapist. I first met…read moreher over ten years ago, during a particularly dark period of my life. At the time, I was extremely depressed and just couldn't seem to get a handle on it. But somehow, immediately from the first session, Dr. Santangelo was able to give me hope and reassure me that together, with her help, I would find happiness again. I saw her for just over a year at that time, until I was really ready to begin my life again. For me, when I entered therapy, my life was at a halt, I was frozen in my own depression. But slowly, in time, I came out of it. Thanks to Dr. Santangelo. Over the years, I have gone back to see her on occasion, at crucial turning points in my life when I have big decisions to make and need a little extra insight. Though it has sometimes been several years in between, Dr. Santangelo always welcomes me back and offers her ear and heart once again. Her style is straight forward, she lets me vent a fair amount, as in any therapy, but she also gives a lot of very helpful feedback and advice. She is compassionate and empathetic, but doesn't hesitate to challenge me when needed, encouraging me to look at things from other perspectives or even help me realize when I might be wrong. Of course she doesn't put it in those words, but she gently helps me see both sides of the coin or the gray in between the black and white, if you will. Really, she is truly brilliant! I can't say how grateful I am that I found Dr. Santangelo over ten years ago. She has been such an important figure in my life, helping me to grow and change and ultimately become a more balanced, healthy and happy person. I have the utmost respect for her skill and craft - personally, she is understanding and kind, professionally, she knows how and when to push you towards true transformation. She is a very special doctor who has enriched my life and helped me bring about countless positive changes. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

I recommend Michele Waldman totally. Her insight and wisdom are exceptional, as is her untiring…read morecapacity to listen and understand, and to get to the heart of the issue with both sensitivity and candor. Michele is patient and deeply intelligent, and brings a warmth that is unusual and welcomed in this profession. I went to her for individual therapy, but I know several people who have gone to her for marriage counselling and been profoundly happy with her. Couples who are not married are equally as thrilled with Michele. Easy to talk to, completely tuned-in; she cares, she brings relief. You can count on her to transform pain to tranquility.
