Awakening NY is a precious place for healing in the middle of NY!…read more The first time I went there it was because of a workshop that was held in one of the spacious rooms there. As I walked through the crystal shop of the center, I sensed this lovely positive energy all around me, as if the shop and the crystals, everything, was taken care of with plenty of love. That memory of love and safety of that place stuck with me until some time later when I was going through some challenges in life and decided to have some energy work done on me. That's when I met Mariola for the first time -- for my first chakra cleanse in my life. What can I say? She is just an angel with healing gifts.. the session with her felt absolutely incredible and something needing to shift, did shift within me, with ease and with her help, changing my perspective on life in a profound way. Her loving care and energy rebalancing went very deep and I'm still immensely grateful for having found her. This experience with her has opened my eyes in many ways, and never would have I thought that later on I would have booked a "remote" session, my first ever, with her.. I was always soooo skeptical about such a thing! But I did, because I needed some support, I was not in the States, and I needed Mariola's healing touch on me again. The day before the session though I suddenly started feeling better, so when the session came about, I felt a bit embarrassed because a big chunk of what I was going through, had already lifted up, out of the blue. When I said that, Mariola lovingly laughed and said to me "my dear, of course it feels lifted, I was already working on you!" And that was just the beginning of my first remote session.. :) What I can say is, with all my honest heart, Awakening NY is a special place for healing, love and light. Mariola takes care of it by choosing every single healer and staff member who works there, and you can only feel surrounded by love and light as soon as you step in. If you ever wonder where to go and who to trust for a healing work, or a massage, or a workshop, be reassured that at Awakening NY the selection has already been done for you, and you can NOT, you really can NOT go wrong!

I was drawn to Northern Medical Center because of its dual approach to health and thought there would be a good chance of being understood and treated without judgment. I was very nervous, but it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable. I was treated compassionately by the medical assistants as well as PA Rose Chasin. She was thorough in her approach and spent a lot of time getting to know me and my history - as did the assistant responsible for the initial intake. It feels good to say I have a primary care provider after all these years. We will see what the blood work reveals and then discuss a plan of action, with Northern Medical's onsite physical therapy, acupuncture and hyperbaric therapy as potential options. I would highly recommend this practice Deb B.

Jen was beyond amazing and hit so many nails on heads that she would be totally unaware of having little to no background of the family.

I started seeing Amy Frisch for therapy when I was a young teenager. She was my therapist for…read morealmost 10 years. During that time, I received individual and group therapy along with attending therapeutic retreats. While under her care, I would have described her as an exceptionally dedicated and competent provider. I felt heard and understood. However, here are a few things I've learned since I've stopped seeing her: Therapists are not supposed to add you as a friend on Facebook or text you socially. Therapists are not supposed to tell you that they love you. Therapists are not supposed to disclose deeply personal information or personal stories, unrelated to your treatment. Therapists, without exception, are required to have strong professional boundaries with their clients. When a therapist blurs these boundaries, the relationship stops being therapeutic. As a child, I had no expectations or awareness about the norms of therapy. I thought Amy Frisch was a unique therapist and I was lucky to be seeing someone so involved and dedicated. As an adult, I now understand that the "unique experience" I had with her as a therapist was not unique, but unprofessional, inappropriate, and a large, bright red flag. If you're the parent of a teenage girl and are looking for a therapist to help her, I would not recommend Amy Frisch. If you are a teenage girl and are looking for a therapist for yourself, I would not recommend Amy Frisch to play any role in helping your mental health.

I regret having to write this review but am doing so in the interest of those that are considering…read moretreatment with this woman. Dr. Amalathas nearly cost me my life. I began seeing her for treatment of depression. She immediately took me off of two drugs that I had been on, while I was unsure that it was wise to withdraw these medications, I trusted her medical opinion. She indicated that she hoped to soon have me off all meds but I refused to let her remove my base anti depressant. The withdrawal of medication by Dr. Amalathas sent me into a major depressive episode. It was the worst I had ever experienced before. When I went to see her during this crisis she indicated that she learned from my therapist that I occasionally smoked marijuana and that she refused to treat me any further as a result. Being bailed on my her during a time of complete crisis made me angry and left me feeling incredibly abandoned and without hope. I do not believe any doctor, such as a psychiatrist, who has such direct control over those at risk of taking their own life should completely abandon their patient at such a time of crisis. She is of course entitled to her own policies however, if you do decide to treat with her, I would recommend keeping your mouth shut about anything that she may find personally offensive. Specifically if you smoke marijuana, as many of us do - medicinally or otherwise- absolutely keep that to yourself. I am now struggling to find a new doctor after learning that Dr. Amalathas is not one that can be counted on. Your life is too valuable to be trusted to the hands of Dr. Amalathas. I am both lucky and blessed to have had a solid support system around me after being abandoned by her. I truly believe that she put my life at direct risk.

She showed me how I was self medicating through extreme exercise and obscene amounts of caffeine. She prescribed one drug, very low dosage and non-addictive and it cured those dark winter thoughts. It also gave me some respite from my ADD though I rely more on the exercise and caffeine. Went off SAD drug for summer with no problems except increased ADD symptoms (not finishing tasks before jumping into others).
