I also agree fully with the reviewer that wrote about the relentless phonecalls and disturbances throughout each session. I have since been listening to and reading the works of far more advanced (and warmer) sex therapists which opened my eyes to just how far off the mark this particular therapist is. Sadly, I think she is outdated, but escapes being noticed as such due to her direct 'style' of therapy. I think it disguises issues the therapist herself has and has yet to deal with. Just my two cents - hope it helps others on their journey to find a great therapist!

TLDR- it's fantastic…read more This is a long review... I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. I broke up all the reasons I think Therapy for Women is amazing below. The values: This practice is based on mutual trust. You're therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing. Additionally, the open conversations make sessions comfortable/feel less like a doctors appointment. Therapy for Women also makes a point to let you know that you can switch therapists at anytime. Besides therapy won't be effective if you aren't comfortable with who you are talking too. In the office: The atmosphere is calming and quiet. Therapists have white noise machines at their door so your conversations will never be heard by someone passing by. If you are finding it hard to share something most therapists have art supplies, cards, fidget toys or board games that you are able to play during the session. The sessions are flexible and can be tailored to what you need. This is especially great for people like me with ADHD. The online portal: This might not be something many people think is important but the online portal is so simple. The rules, expectations, and prices for the practice are shared openly once you become a client so there is transparency. If you are ever confused about something or wondering about your last bill it is easy to look up past records and chat with your therapist directly. Price: Therapy for Women does not accept insurance (this is my understanding/ I'm not sure if there are specific exceptions). Sessions are relatively expensive since insurance doesn't cover the cost. However, Jen is a therapist I could stick with for years and I feel it is completely worth the extra cost. Over all: I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.

This PHP/IOP program truly saved my life. I came in at a point where I didn't know if things could…read moreget better, and this place completely changed that for me. The groups are incredibly meaningful, supportive, and led by people who genuinely care about your healing, not just about money or checking boxes. Every single therapist here is amazing, but I especially want to recognize Jen, Bri, Alexis, Lisa, and Lauren (hopefully I'm not forgetting anyone). Their compassion, honesty, and dedication made me feel seen, safe, and supported. You can tell they truly care about the people who walk through their doors. If you're on the fence or feeling unsure, please give this program a chance. It's hard work, but it's worth it - and you don't have to do it alone. I will forever be grateful for this team and the people I met here. Thank you New Horizons!

After a stay at this place, I basically saw it degrade in real time. When I first started attending…read moretherapy here, I was wowed by the office's wonderful space. There's a kitchen with coffee and snacks, two well kept bathrooms for professional care and just when you need to go, and the place is cleaned at least once a week professionally. The therapists were kind and knowledgeable, and my first few days there were extremely good, and I thought I'd be receiving such quality care from them for awhile. About two and a half weeks into my therapy, I had my first bout of therapy when I wasn't already feeling decent, and saw how they handled it. It wasn't the best. One of the therapists came into a room I was de-escalating in, and calmed me down well. However, after she left, another one (the head therapist) took me aside and somewhat reprimanded me, asking me some rather odd questions. That was that. But it was also kinda strike one in my mind. It was onto next week. About two weeks later, I came into therapy on a Friday. Showered, shaved, and ready for good things to happen. This stopped when the director of the practice took me aside, and started asked me some icebreaker questions. I answered, but I knew something was off. Sure enough, she started bringing the real problem up in time. She asked if the shirt I was wearing was the same one from yesterday, and I told her the truth, it wasn't. But she insisted it was, and that she was very perceptive. In time, I got her to admit she'd been tipped off by someone else. In the end, I was given the choice to either go home or go home, so I went home. I guess they can handle suicidal ideation and relapsing, but not "this person is too depressed to do wash every week". That's strike two. Third, about half a week after this, our therapy was interrupted by the head of the practice coming in again, and this time effectively telling us "you not showing up loses us money, don't skip therapy". Not in a "we care about your recovery" way, but in a business first manner. She saw us as dollar signs sitting in chairs, and didn't bother sugarcoating it there. Strike three, but I needed this therapy badly. So, I stuck it out. One week later, I show up on Friday feeling pretty bad already. We do our check in question, and go into the activity, in which we're allowed to use our phones. So, using my phone, I do the activity. The therapist leading it, however, must have also woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. She came over to me, and in one of the nastiest tones I've had taken with me, told me to leave the group room. I did more than that. I left the practice, and haven't come back. I imagine more of my fellow group members will do that in time as well. In short; new horizons had a 5 star review as a therapy place, which is why I wanted care from it. But I imagine in time, this newly opened business will show its cracks. I saw them open in real time. I wouldn't recommend therapy from here, but there's a kitty cafe across the street. That's a nicer place to go to.

Dr Perilstein is a life saver!…read more 6 months ago I began seeing her during a very difficult time in my life. Quite frankly I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel... I didn't have a day without crippling anxiety and it drive me to depression. Doctor Perilstein, with a large dose on genuine care and a small dose of comedy, began treating me. She quickly began focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy as a means to train myself on how to be "my old happy self" again. At this point, I have reduced my anxiety med intake to almost nothing and wake up knowing the day will be great rather than dreading opening my eyes I will end the review the way I started it...
