I tried to contact the supervisor over three times and did not get a call back…read more I worked with this Stephanie Wissig for over a year. I ended the relationship because of repeated boundary issues. She shared personal details about her husband, her son, her insecurities, and her travel plans while I clearly did not care. These disclosures did not support my treatment. Ethical guidelines from APA and NASW state that self disclosure should stay limited and serve the client. She also brought up her age often. She spoke about feeling older in a way that made me feel guilty for being younger, showing me her belly fat after pregnancy, which I could not relate to (I'm 28). This was not my role to manage. Therapists are expected to keep their personal insecurities separate from client work. I raised concerns during treatment. I asked her to stop laughing at my jokes after I fired her. She listened but continued. She made a joke about my shoplifting. I told her I did not find it funny. This was not respectful of my request or my history, especially when admitting and deal with something I could get criminally charged with. Almost as if she was inhibiting my behavior. She often spoke to me like a friend instead of a licensed professional. I needed structure and focus on my goals. Instead, I got casual interactions that made it hard to trust the process. I fired her for a second time after these issues continued. My experience shows a pattern of weak boundaries and poor respect for client feedback. I want other clients to know this before starting treatment.

She has changed the way that I look at life. I have seen many therapists in my life. Stephanie is the first person to make me laugh and cry all in the same session. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone in the most caring way possible. She always has my best interest in mind. I would not be able to accomplish any of the tasks that I have if it were not for her. Stephanie understands the importance of listening to her client and, more impressively, when to interject her thoughts. I don't always agree with what she is saying at that exact moment but, I always come back to the idea a day or two later to think about it more. Her suggestions are thought provoking. They challenge you to face a problem head on in ways that you would never have imagined to do before. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is great at getting back to you as quickly as possible when you send her a message or leave her a voicemail. I could go on and on and on about how amazing she is. I am so happy that I found her. Thank you Stephanie!!!

I have had the good fortune of being one of Dr. Schmidt-Hellerau's patients. It is certainly an…read moreinteresting thing to publicly talk about one's own private therapy. I tend to be a private person. But without Dr. Schmidt-Hellerau's help, I would never have known the happiness I have in my life. It isn't just that she has helped me work through my problems-it is that I can now experience a level of joy and fulfillment I would have never known without her. I tear up thinking about my life now and how full it is. Seriously. I wouldn't have ever said I wasn't happy before-but its like seeing color for the first time. You just couldn't know you were seeing in black and white until you see that first burst of color. No therapy is necessarily easy. It is inherent in the human condition that we go over the same things again and again. Think of any difficulty you have and the question inevitably appears if you are reflective enough...Why do I keep doing this SAME thing over and over even though it causes me anxiety/pain/embarrassment etc. It is the work of therapy that you keep exploring hey-why AM I doing this again and again? So, yes therapy can be difficult in that way, because you can become frustrated with YOURSELF. It is a kind of work. But with Dr. Schmidt-Hellerau,it has also been deeply rewarding and pleasurable. It is rare to find someone who listens in the way she does. I felt she understood something so essential about me in the very first session. I have been to many different psychologists over the years. Nothing. even. compares. She is brilliant. I never felt intruded upon, she listened and heard what I needed. She understood what I was saying when I couldn't articulate it yet. I saw where I was living in fear and she helped me to be brave. And always, always, I knew her heart was in it. In her quiet, brilliant way she cleared a path for me to walk down. She never needed to impose, she never used her brilliance to blind, she cared in the most quiet way. Which is what I needed. You may need something else, and I bet she would know that, too. Two people in the field recommended Dr. Schmidt-Hellerau to me. I have some affiliation with the field so I was lucky. I know most people are not lucky in that way. This is why this private, happy person decided to write a review.

At one point I was living in Plymouth but I would still drive to Cambridge to have a visit or two with her. I have always found Kyle to be very insightful and sincerely very caring, always leaving me with the feeling that I am glad she is my therapist and have made that connection with her. I have even gone for long gaps of not seeing her, sometimes as long as 10 years and the amazing thing is, when we've gotten together again, its like I saw her yesterday and I am always amazed at the things that she remembers, even the small things. I had an instance a few years ago where I had to get some help for a relative and a call to Kyle was the first one I made and she gave me the names of people to get in touch with to get my relative the help they needed. I can't say enough good things about her.

I live at property owned by Karen…read more I am an African-Indigenous descent and a member of the LGBTQ+ community as well. Karen has been a very horrible human being to deal with from a tenant/landlord perspective. I do not recommend that anyone seek her assistance for any type of mental health evaluation or care because for the past 2 years of the 3 & 1/2 years I have lived in her property, she has inflicted a great amount of harm onto my own mental health. It started with her trying to gaslight me after I was a victim of domestic abuse done inside my home. She decided to "not pick sides" and allowed the abuser (against who I felt the needs to file a police report to protect my self from) to continue living in the same home as me after the incident rather than terminate their lease. Then she tried (for the 1st time) to un-house my partner and I because of the incident. Then we legally confronted her about our rights, as tenants and human beings, with the help of a great organization called Vida Urbana and we got to have a new lease agreement drafted and signed. Then she continuously violated the new lease agreement for the unit we moved to, below where we used to live, by refusing to provide us with a safe home. We had to call board of health and get the health inspector to assist us with the necessary demands to bring the property up to health codes. After much delay, they have yet not completed all demands from the health department and now, as retaliation and discriminatory inhumane behavior, Mrs. karen is yet again trying to un-house u. This time in the middle of a New England winter rather than after a domestic abuse incident. I think this person has got to be one of the worst people o met during my 29 years on this Earth. My ancestors will be proud to know that I will not sit quietly while I am constantly attacked by people like Karen. I hope anyone reading this makes their ancestors proud as well by not associating themselves with such an inconsiderate and inhumane person, specially while considering a healthcare professional to assist them with whatever they might be going through.

I highly recommend Dr Karen Kurlander to anyone who is ready to uncover the truths in their lives. She was direct and caring. I just relocated back to MA and have been in need of some help with all the changes and of course thought of Karen after 30+ years of life lived. I had connected with her a time or two via phone from CA through some tough times. I'm so happy to have found her again. We have had one session so far and I feel like i'm back home. I've had many therapists along the way and always measure them up against Karen. I know I'm in good hands

She'd charge random fees and different co-pays to my HSA card and did not provide an itemized invoice. My HMA shut me down as a result and I forfeited the balance in my account. It was worth it to not deal with her. She tried to change my medication every time I saw her. I know what works for me. She wouldn't listen. She insisted on a regimen of fish oil and magnesium (quack quack). Unfortunately she was the only prescriber in the area that my insurance would cover. My previous psychiatrist and I worked on my meds for years. She thought she knew better. Also, she's not a psychiatrist. She's a psychiatric nurse practitioner. There is a big difference. She'd try therapy and I told her I only wanted a prescriber. I was not comfortable with her. She did not create an atmosphere of trust. That annoyed her and she'd let me know in a very vocal way.

It is clear to me she cares about her clients and is passionate about the work she does (as is everyone in the office). The staff are kind and it is clear they care about each other and the clients. The office is a little hard to find if you are using the googlemaps phone app. You should look for the driveway close to the train tracks then go to the left and down. There are designated parking spots.
