Lauren was very helpful in our first session together. I'm…read moreStill unclear if I will be working with her long term as I'm trying out a few therapists before I make a final decision. However I've seen a lot of therapists in the past and I felt like I made a large amount of progress in only one session with her. I think Lauren asks excellent and helpful questions and would definitely recommend her to others.

I initially started seeing Lauren after reading a few Yelp reviews, and she has now been my…read moretherapist for over two years. When I first started seeing her, I was looking to find someone who had experience in dealing with trauma and anxiety, and now that I have been able to work with her through many different experiences in my life, I really look forward to having someone to discuss the trials and tribulations of my day to day. She makes me feel super comfortable - I can really speak with her about anything. She is completely nonjudgemental, and I can use the same candor with her that I can with some of my closest friends. She has also been very easy going about appointment rescheduling and always offers to find a time, or even to connect via Skype if need be. I really value my relationship with her, and am so glad I made the decision to start seeing her because now she has become an integral part in my self development. She also has the most incredible memory and always makes me feel not only like she is intently listening to everything I say, but that she genuinely cares about me. I highly, highly recommend her; in the time I've been going to see her I have made leaps and bounds of progress and I am so grateful that she has been with me through it all encouraging me to take steps in the right direction.

My wife and I have been working with Laura as a couple's therapist for several years. Yes, years…read more Why? A second marriage for both us, we engaged Laura, prior to our wedding not due to any acute crisis but to become more mindful of our own histories and how these might impact the relationship. One of the many insights gained working with Laura over the years is that each partner is responsible for 100% of their 50% of the relationship (LOVE that!!). We were also familiar with the book, Getting the Love Your Want by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, best known for co-creating Imago Relationship Therapy. Laura is a certified practitioner of Imago, blending it with her unique style of facilitation. Imago offers many relationship building blocks, such as mirroring and sharing appreciations that fundamentally changed how we communicate. In many ways, Laura is like a relationship coach, holding us accountable for our respective 100% that we each bring to the relationship. Our marriage continues to thrive and benefit from our time and investment with Laura!

I highly recommend Playworks to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and committed practice for children and teens of all ages and developmental levels!

I did get a call from their reminders service appointment call for today. And I was there early for appointment. Only to find out the dr Ingram Shaikh was Triple booked for appointments with other patients that came on time. Now is 18 minutes late and was told that he comes in late. Yet the policy is I come late for appointments I will be charged extra. Seems very harsh especially if the "professional " staff in mental health field should be setting an effective example of proper actions to their consumers. What is there to do, Hummmm. Ohhhhh wait here just walked in, 25 minutes late all smiles and carrying a bag of food. Hummmm.

NOT ONE RETURN CALL over the course of a week. He probably holds an office in Ridgewood to as his cash cow, bc his other offices are in low income nabes. He's "triple booked" bc he has no other reason to make him look like he's actually working. His standard of care is extremely negligent for the field he is in. Dr Shaikh collects co payments. I think he as well as this location - are waiting to see how many ppl they can scam. This is a front for a therapist facility. No shows up on time for appts IF at all...and he is credentialed from a university in Pakistan. Not even in the United States. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Does not care about his patients and THAT IS NOT OKAY.

So firstly I will say I never had an issue with the counselor…read more For starters this place is not for someone individually for help. I would say it's for people who are mandated by the state, dui, etc Second I repeatedly had issues with people interrupting the session by just walking in for non emergency reasons. Some were apologetic some flat out didn't care. It happened several times. Third I had a peer advocate stalking my phone to talk and check in if I needed to talk if my counselor wasn't available. Which he was so there wasn't a reason to call. Thirdly all the receptionist needs to be fired asap. They falsely told me my insurance would take the lab test for toxicology. I got stuck with a bill and insurance issues due to that earlier in that year, So it was said from whomever the supervisor was at said time that I didn't have to take it every week due to that. Later down in the holidays I was told there is a new lab they had (millennium health) that accepted my insurance for lab, which I really didn't have to do, come to find out the they didn't take it ... again! I spoke with a new "supervisor" she even spoke to them but to no avail. Mind you I'm not mandated to take any test as often I was trying to be nice because they claimed they had to meet a "quota" which isn't even my problem it's theirs Fourthly I get a call less than 24 hours of my appointment stating my insurance wasn't in network when it really just seems they make more money from the lab so because I wasnt an asset I got the boot. I'm getting emails asking me do I want to quit or continue the program when it was blatenly said that my insurance wasn't in network so how can I continue? They ain't worth my money. So now I have to pay for a medical bill, that I didn't even need to take that was once 500 to now 100 to now 60. Clearly they scamming hard. Lastly their bathrooms are disgusting. Literally urine and feces all over the floor and walls. Gross. I came here on my own free will for help with alcohol not to be aggravated. And to whoever chooses to respond to this please note I've made several complaints over the year I was there so this isn't something that isn't familiar. Stop playing with people mental health for a check. It's unprofessional. And I emailed the counselor to speak to a supervisor I believe it was Yulieka someone Hispanic (no shade just describing) and no one called me just hiding instead of facing me.
