I always have appointments with Jennifer, who is an awesome therapist! She has helped me work through so many different issues and I find so much comfort in knowing I can talk to her about anything that bothers me. Booking appointments is easy online too. I 100% recommend Jennifer if you're looking for someone kind and caring to help you sort through your emotions!

I'm so happy that my husband and I chose Jennifer as as our therapist. My husband and I entertained…read morethe idea of going to counseling to improve our communication and decision-making abilities for a while, but the places that we contacted were unresponsive. After hours of searching online, we found Laurel Fay & Associates and decided to reach out because of the positive reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at how helpful the assistant, Maggie, was and how quickly she got us on Jennifer's schedule for a consultation. We were confident that we wanted Jennifer as our therapist after speaking with her on the phone for our consultation. So far, we've seen Jennifer for approximately 15 sessions. I can confidently say that my husband and I have a healthier relationship because of the tools that Jennifer provided us with. This has probably been one of the best investments we've made and we thank Jennifer for that. She is highly skilled at what she does and there are many times where I walk out of the sessions impressed with her training. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for marriage and family therapy.

More often than not people like to blame others when things are not going as good as one would like. Unfortunately, I have to apologize to you for being one of those persons for not recognizing all that she has done with and for me and Nick. Therapeutically, her guidance and support has allowed us to self reflect and get in the place of balance and peace in our marriage, in which I know would have been overlooked and neglected without your guidance. Again, I thank her and recognize her ability to reshape relationships threw encouraging us to work on ourselves, by guiding us to recognize individually what we contribute to where we are and where we want to be in partnership. Thank you, Cyndy

While her wait list was not long, I felt compelled to see someone ASAP. That said- Ms. Perwin sent me an email to keep in touch and to see if I had found a provider and asked about my needs. As a person with needs, I felt heard and respected. She followed up. It was not related to whether I was on her caseload or not-- she wanted to make I was situated in a good place. As a former practice manager in a medical office- I quickly recognized that I was interacting with someone of high professional ethics who geniunely cared about "using her powers for good". I am beyond impressed. For that reason alone, I recommend Ms. Perwin without hesitation. Dr. Noreen S. Buchanan, CCC-SLP

After her 1st appointment, she was supposed to send in a new rx to the pharmacy and the pharmacy never received it. I tried reaching out to her provider and the office multiple times with no response. Nobody answers their phones, not sure if they even have administrative staff at all. Then at her 3 rd follow up appointment the provider was a no show for her virtual appointment. No one called or emailed me. Poor patient care. Impossible to get ahold of a provider there. We will be switching care.

This review is two years in the making. Our son suffers from OCD. We contacted Newport Academy…read morewho said that they had the supports to help him. They did not! He got pretty much no counseling and spent his days doing yoga and mindfullness, which may be helpful for some, but not a kid with a real diagnosis. Our impression was that this was babysitting for kids who smoked pot.... Our sons school sent work that was supposed to be done at Newport with there "teachers" but that never happened. I guess to sum up... our last day the academy and ourselves reached a decision that could not help, yet they told us we coud not leave until the end of the day. We left. Turns out they don't get paid for partial days. So althought they admitted that this diagnosis was out their capabilities, they wanted us to stay so that they could bill. Stay Away! Unless you just need someone to watch your unruley child, their services are not to cure/help just to babysit!

I WAS A PATIENT here and the care quality is not good at all. They treated everyone as if they're…read morementally ill suicidal maniacs which is the exact opposite of how you want to be treated. You just want to be accepted and this is NOT how I felt. I was in this program for about 6 months and definitely had some mental issues at the time, and being here only made it worse. Of course during the therapy sessions I TOLD them this and obviously they just insisted on keeping me there LONGER (probably because it made them more money). I saw absolutely no way out, so I said some pretty wacky things (not gonna specify) in order to get me kicked out. After that I found myself with very little respect for therapy/therapists. Now, I can confidently say that i am doing so much better with absolutely NO thanks to Newport. It wasted so much of my valuable time as a young man and student trying to find a passion in life. I DO NOT recommend this place for anyone. If you/your child are actually a serious risk to yourself or others, PLEASE pick somewhere professional.

He helps me to unpack difficult issues I'm facing, and offers me insightful perspectives. He began his career as an attorney, then devoted himself to military service for many years. That work/life experience is reflected in his high level of professionalism and his dedication to helping others. If I share a story about a challenge I'm facing, I don't have to do a lot of explaining. He gets it. It can be hard to find a therapist who possesses all of those important qualities--intelligence, empathetic support, dedication and strong experience. So I feel fortunate to have found Chris and I enthusiastically recommend him.
