I…read morefirst saw her when I graduated college and then here and there as things have come up in life that needed tending to. 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.

Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! I probably would have…read morekept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only…read more So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try!

Extremely unprofessional support staff, to a degree that this makes me concerned for patients with…read moreurgent needs. This is especially disturbing considering the fact that the support staff I was dealing with also has a degree in clinical psychology. If you cannot interface with patients in a polite and constructive way, during simple interactions through phone and email, you are in the wrong line of work. Finding health care in the Cambridge area is difficult. Many offices have waiting lists. Many of your potential patients may already be on multiple waitlists, and may be desperate for care.

Whoever gave Dr. Ethan Siedberg a PhD should feel very ashamed of how he is using that title. He…read moreand his billing director repeatedly refused to provide me with itemized invoices, claiming my insurance was too complicated and suggesting that I if I wanted to keep track of what I was paying for, I could pay up front and submit claims myself. When I pushed back on this, Dr. Seidberg threatened to terminate my therapy until I could pay, as though I were refusing to pay. They also repeatedly charged my credit card for appointments I had not had, without explanation. Sometimes, especially if I threatened to write a nasty review, they would swiftly cancel these charges. Usually, however, I was told to wait until they received payments from my insurance company, or I was asked to pay amounts that did not match my online balance or own personal records of what I should owe. The only reason I kept putting up with these people is that I really needed the therapy, loved my therapist, and could not afford to pay up front. Thankfully, my therapist (who I love) decided to part ways and get a private practice, so I don't have to deal with this issue anymore. But when I went to settle my final payment with Kendall, they gave me an itemized list of what I owed. Funny how all of a sudden they were capable of providing what I had been asking for all along. My suggestion is to only see these people if they can process your insurance up front, or you can pay up front. Their therapists are great, and I do recommend seeing them if possible; if they're smart and talented like mine, they'll be going private soon anyway, because they don't want to deal with Kendall either.

Thriveworks is one of the most unethical mental health companies I've dealt with. They care far…read moremore about protecting revenue than doing right by their patients. My EAP clearly stated I had 3 free sessions, but their therapist repeatedly told me I had 6 free sessions and even confirmed it with their Regional Director. Based on that information, I continued treatment and attended a 4th session, only to later get charged because the information THEY provided was wrong. When I disputed the charge, the therapist admitted she gave me incorrect information. Despite acknowledging their own mistake, Thriveworks still refused to refund the charge. That tells you everything you need to know about this company's priorities. As for the actual care, I tried two different therapists and the experience was disappointing. One seemed more focused on scheduling additional appointments and pushing prescriptions than providing meaningful support. The whole experience felt transactional instead of patient-centered. Mental health treatment requires trust, transparency, and accountability. Thriveworks failed on all three. There are far better providers out there that actually care about patients instead of squeezing every dollar they can from them.

I am very disappointed with my experience with Thriveworks…read more I showed up for an intake appointment, but when we discussed concerns about whether this was the right fit for son, she told me she would have to bill me a 135 cancellation fee, even though I made the call. I called billing, and they told me there would be no charges until my case was reviewed, but I was billed later that day regardless. There are many online platforms with more personalized customer care out there.

I originally found out about this business from a Groupon being offered. I called and scheduled my…read morefirst appointment with Rebekah, who I cannot say enough good things about. During this initial phone call, she answered all my questions with a patience and friendliness that is rare in Boston. At the first appointment, she asked many detailed questions, which I found reassuring because it was clear that she was taking the time to know me and understand my reasons for turning to hypnosis (trouble with focusing on my work); she later used this information to craft my two subsequent custom sessions. Like the other reviewer said Rebekah is "fast, effective, and professional". She's so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I work in the sciences so was initially doubtful that this would even work for me, but it has. She comes highly recommended.

I worked with Judy for over three years and always enjoyed talking with her. She has a keen memory…read morefor detail, is an avid listener and provides her own insights and ideas. Meeting with her is more of a conversation than a one-way monologue. She's well read on women's issues and often recommends relevant books. She is open to new or different perspectives when they arise. She is a bioenergetic therapist, which is what brought me her way in the first place. However, while I never got very comfortable with bioenergetics, she did not push it. Every once in awhile she might remind me of the various exercises, or suggest a workshop or class, but that was it. You can work with that element of her training as you wish.

The first therapist I worked with was terrible, cold, and always looking at the clock to end the session. But Judy really cares, and wants to help you make things better. Because she is also a body-work person and thinks wholistically, she incorporates a broad range of therapies to help tailor to your needs at every visit. I always feel better after I leave and am often surprised at the new areas I can start working on, without adding more stress in my already too hectic life. You won't be disappointed.

Sharyn is not only bright, articulate and compassionate, but she also brings to her practice an incredible sense of humor, and a practicality that has served me during my toughest and brightest times.

It's hard for me to measure the specific impact, but I know that working with Sharyn has without question been transformative for me.

There is nothing worse than having a therapist who isn't as smart as you and thinks he/she is…read more That isn't the case with Valerie, who is clever and quick witted, and while she is a compassionate person I've found her quite able to feel out the degree of warm fuzzy I want (very little) and the amount of conversational structure and focus I want (very high) to best suit my personality type. I have had dozens of talk-counselors in the last twenty years and I think it's rare to find one who is genuinely a people-person that wants to work with you, not try to mold you to their pre-formatted sessions. I think Valerie is an experienced enough therapist that whether or not you know what you need in a therapist, like I did, or you are just starting out, she would be a good choice in a counselor. Look her up on the Psychology Today counselor search for more info about what she specializes in.

I guess I could say I was stuck with certain beliefs and there was no way to change them…read more For example, one of my many beliefs was that my wife had to read Shakespeare (no kidding), or else we had nothing in common. Moreover, it was equally important that our daughters had to go out with guys that knew Shakespeare by heart (What a hypocrite - I certainly don't, but that's beside the point. Just how crazy was I? Without judgement, without giving me a lot of advice, without interpreting me with "valuable insights", Valery helped those beliefs relax. Turns out that the part of me that thought not getting Shakespeare disqualified a person from the human didn't truly believe it. But it thought it was doing something good for me, keeping me safe from the local thugs in the neighborhood, setting me apart among the peaceful intellectual types, but that was long, long ago. Ultimately, with Valery's help, I learned to appreciate that part and ultimately let it go to do something else. How pleasant family life has become without all my beliefs stirring everyone up. P.S. She has two offices: one in Harvard Square and one in Lexington, MA. She doesn't take insurance.
