I was a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Educational Psychologist who worked with…read moreBill Murphy in the treatment of my depression and anxiety. I had worked with others prior to him who were far inferior in the treatment of my depression especially. I worked with Bill Murphy for 10-15 years before moving to the Chicago area. I found his humor and skills to be very successful in improving my functioning. The therapists I have had in the Chicago area have been no match. However, his work with me has provided enduring strength and resilience. I would recommend Bill Murphy to others looking for the ability to see humor in their lives and wanting to improve their functioning emotionally. The office of Bill Murphy worked with my insurance in coordinating copayments, which I paid at the time of the appointments.

I have been with Dr S for about five years. He has helped me work through some major trauma and…read morehelped me identify what was causing my depression. He also helped me find the medications that worked for me and continues to check in on how well the dosage is working for me. When I became manic, he was the first person my parents called and was the only reason I wasn't put into a hospital. He quickly found medication that would make me sleep and stabilize my mood and also helped me understand what was going on. I am 21 and he has worked with me since I was 15. Because of this, he has helped me figure out my own identity and where I want to go in life. This work goes beyond psychiatry and leans toward being a life coach. Some may say that this is not his area of expertise but I believe that mental well-being is a wholistic endeavor that requires a look into your daily life. Through his guidance and therapy, I have discovered that my happiness is not contingent on objects or experiences (though those do play an important role) but on my outlook on life and how I respond to situations. I have learned that I am responsible for my own happiness. Although right now, being happy is spontaneous and easy, it will not come as naturally when I am depressed or if I become manic again. I will have to remember that happiness comes from accepting the world as it is and changing what I can. Thank you doctor.

Though I only saw this guy a few times, I have strong mixed feelings about him…read more He seems to REALLY care about his patients- he has to have all of your previous records, will not prescribe certain medications (as he believes they can do more harm than good), and checks up on you after hours (I got calls as late as at 8:30 at night). My mother swears by him, and continues to work with him to this day. He is also not like the typical psych that gives you your medications and then boots you out the door- no, he is ALSO your therapist. He also makes doubly sure to have contact with your doctor, dietitian, and other professionals, so that they know what's going on with your treatment, as well. However, there are a lot of cons that weigh on my mind. After getting home from Remuda Ranch for anorexia/bulimia nervosa, I desperately needed a good psychiatrist. My mom recommended Schenkman, and I was hesitantly hopeful. He's very serious about what he does, but without insurance, you're going to go broke- the evaluation to see him is a slick 300$, and I believe appointments after that are 150$? If you are a serious case, as I am, he wants you to come in 2-3 times a week. Yeah, impossible if you are already struggling for money in these hard times. Also, he expects you to do a lot for him, such as: collect all of your previous medical records (a LOT for me), get blood tests, have a general practitioner, relinquish all mental health control to him (can't have another therapist, as well), and THEN he MIGHT decide to take you on as a patient. The entire time, you are up in the air going, who is going to prescribe my medications (if you're already on meds, that is) and what am I doing? Also, he misinterpreted things, quoted me incorrectly, and would be upset if I hadn't done something for him (even though he hadn't asked me to). The office receptionist is nice, but a little distant and cooky. Also, she will forget to tell the doctor that you called on occasions. They only accept cash or check here, making it a little irritating for those who only keep easy little credit cards in our purses. If you FORGET to bring your money/checks, you are out of luck, and the doctor will not see you. I mean, I understand why they do it (to make sure they get paid), but ugh! Frustrating! The last thing that bugged me was that, after seeing him 3-4 times (driving across town about 20 minutes each time), he said that he wouldn't see me until I was medically stable. He kept pushing and pushing and pushing for me to go into my fourth treatment centre for anorexia nervosa (which he didn't seem to understand too well) and borderline personality disorder (which I haven't even been diagnosed with before) at Harvard- which is all the way across the country. Of course, I cannot go into inpatient care again, because I'm literally out of money and my parents can't afford anything more. He decided to bring my mom in and guilt-trip her, by saying that other families would sell their cars and houses to get long-term treatment for their children like I needed. My parents are NOT (repeat NOT) cheap-asses. They have paid for hospitalisations, treatment centres, and doctor's appointments on many occasions. So that just pissed me off. So, I told him I would go to Harvard if he "would pay for it, since you want me to go so badly." Obviously, he didn't agree to that. The last appointment ended with me so angry that I was queasy, and him saying: "Well, I wish you the best of luck." Hmmmm.

I'm so thankful this program was even open considering it was peak COVID days, and let me say: this program saved my life. Not only did it save me then, I'm in group again now that I'm an adult because I had another attempt and was hospitalized for that. It's saving me yet again. Everyone who works there is so kind and wise and really makes the lessons learned stick. Even the other attendees help me so much since I'm not alone. Finally, I just wanna say, if you put the effort in, you can change and make progress. You will get better and heal. You can't do it alone, which is why I recommend aspire 100%, but you gotta help yourself, too. :)

This is one doctor I will telling my friends about. His ability to just "get" what I was talking about was very gratifying and he did his job and made me feel important at the same time. Thank goodness we still have professionals that put their work and the patient first.

I have spent time working on immediate changes AND deep seated behavior/thoughts that needed attention. Daphna is brave. She is an amazing listener. She can quickly analyze your self guided experience and give valuable input on the spot. She routinely uses art (mostly drawing) to reflect my words and intentions clearly.

My husband and I sought Daphna's help in late 2023 and finished our marriage coaching sessions this past February. We were at the end of our rope in our marriage and were about to go our separate ways. I saw first-hand how she helped my sister save her marriage, so I decided to give my marriage a chance at surviving the storm. I made an appointment with Daphna's office, and didn't look back. My husband and I made the decision to try one more time and we dedicated our efforts to saving our marriage. Her advice and tools during our sessions made a huge difference in how my husband and I communicate with one another and how we work to resolve disagreements and misunderstandings. Daphna was patient, and she cared about helping us save our marriage and keep our family together, and I thank her for that. In the time since my sessions with Daphna have ended, I have had a better family dynamic and an overall better relationship with my husband. Of course, we still have disagreements, because no marriage is without conflict, but the way my husband and I resolve those issues is better, and it's thanks to Daphna's advice. She helped save my marriage, and there are no words to express how grateful I am that she didn't give up on us. If your marriage or relationship is in trouble, read Daphna's book, and most of all, dedicate time to your spouse and/or significant other and let her help you save your relationship. You won't regret it.

I was able to really grow close to Nancy, and was able to trust her with things I wouldn't say to many other people. Not only that, but she also has a Christian background, so that was helpful for me- don't worry, she doesn't press it on you, which I know, because I was a strict atheist for YEARS before I went to Remuda Ranch (a facility for anorexia and bulimia nervosa). She was one of the first people I called when I got to Remuda, and helped me secure a spot there. I know several ladies who have been to Nancy Keller (and the other associates in this group) for their eating disorders, and they say that it's a Godsend. I highly recommend this group if you are in a place to work on an outpatient basis (and don't need further medical care, such as residential, inpatient, or hospitalisation).
