Dr. Jim sets a familiar tone during his sessions, so you feel like you're talking to a friend instead of a therapist, helping solve problems more quickly. He offers many techniques on training yourself to eliminate bad mental behaviors that cause stress. Talking with Dr. Jim and learning how to practice these techniques is definitely worth a try if you suffer from stress or anxiety.

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Schwartz's for a few years. The time I have spent…read morewith her is invaluable to me. Dr. Schwartz is a very warm, caring, insightful person, who has helped me overcome a lot of my personal issues. This has greatly improved my happiness, and quality of life! She has the ability to get right to the heart of an issue, but does so in a kind, gentle way. Dr.Schwartz was able to make me feel safe, and comfortable enough to deal with some deeply personal issues. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes I cry, but I always leave her office feeling so much better than when I came in. Your visits can be tailored to your specific needs. You can go weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. If you have completed your therapy, you can come in for a "tune up" if you need it. I, myself, had gone through a period of therapy, had stopped going, and then found myself back a year or so later, to deal with some things that had come up in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz if you are looking for someone who can help you deal with life's difficulties, with warmth, caring and humor. If you feel you are ready to work with someone to deal with your own personal issues, I think you should call Dr Schwartz, and make an appointment. I am so glad I chose to come to her, and will always be thankful to her for helping me to lead a much happier life!

I randomly found her online and I truly lucked out by getting the best of the best the first try. She is so smart, compassionate, caring and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about her amazing, natural ability to help people. When I met with her, she never minimized my problems. She really had an ability to remember things I had told her in the past and that really showed her passion for her job and helping people, rather than me just being another patient. She is an amazing therapist and has helped me more than she'll ever know.

She made me feel like an intrusion, assumed I had had counseling before, and was very rude. She just looked at me when I approached the desk. Finally I had to ask if I was in the right spot. "Well who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?" "Yes, with Diana Lavancher." "Well what do you want?" "Um...to check in?" "Whats your name?" After I announced my name to her and the stranger sitting close by (HIPPA!!!), she said "well you don't check in here, 'you people' (she said that!) just go straight over there!" She pointed somewhat in the direction of Diana's office door and then stood up, pushed her chair out with her knees and walked away. I should think you would have someone with the slightest degree of sensitivity and certainly a drop of courtesy and politeness representing a place that deals with people who obviously have a need for neutral, objective understanding. She is, without a doubt, the exact reciprocal and perhaps could use a little counseling herself on how to address people in general more kindly, but particularly in this type of setting! Does she know I was coming in for therapy because of some devastating tragedy or severe depression or any number of symptoms that warrant me coming there in the first place? I had anxiety about my 1st ever therapy session in my life, I was there for a reason, and because of her, I almost ran out the door. If Diana hadn't opened her door and greeted me warmly, that's exactly what I would have done. She does not belong in a patient care environment.

I have to say that this was my best doctor visit ever…read more Dr. Marcus showed compassion, attentiveness, and willingness to help. He spent a great deal of time listening to my concerns in order to understand my condition. He also asked me a lot of follow up questions to pinpoint the root causes of my condition. He then explained to me, clearly, a therapeutic approach that includes lifestyle modifications and alternative options of treatments. He very well acknowledged my preferences of treatment options and tailored my treatment towards that. He finally advised me to see him again after a week to evaluate my initial response to the medicine. I really appreciate the whole-person approach that Dr. Marcus has used with me. I, therefore, highly recommend Dr. Marcus for anyone who struggles with a mental or psychological issue. You will thank me later. Day of visit: August 8, 2023 Sincerely, K. A.

In preparation for an important sales conference presentation, he provided a structured plan that included powerful affirmations and a customized recording designed to build my confidence and reconnect me with a time when I actually enjoyed public speaking. Thanks to his support, I was not only prepared but delivered my presentation with confidence--and quite frankly, I knocked it out of the park! Andy's commitment goes beyond just the sessions--he checked in with me every day leading up to the event and even followed up afterward. His care, expertise, and dedication made all the difference.
