I'm not bitter I just want others to be informed that something is going on behind the vail. She called me nefarious. (Evil). That is not healthy or professional. We never even got to EMDR - I very reason I came in to see her. She badmouthed other therapist and it just didn't sit well with me. I'm now with a great therapist and working on healing.

Dr Oscherwitz has kept me going for over 13 years…read more Her style is business-like and appropriate to her practice and profession. At the same time she has great empathy and concern when you communicate your distress to her. Dr O manages my prescriptions - I do not see her for regularly for only "talk therapy". - In this role, she digs to find out what I'm dealing with - tragedies, annoyances and wins. I'm not receiving one-size-fits-all treatment. - She ALWAYS coordinates my regimen with my physician and LCSW therapist so that each knows what the other is doing and when changes may impact my mental or physical health. - Dr O stays current on new therapies/medications and adjusts my treatment carefully but aggressively so that I benefit from the best outcome. - She takes the state of my finances in to consideration, also, so that I'm getting the best outcomes possible, but when asked she works to find less expensive alternatives that are effective. (Having been uninsured three times during our relationship, this has been an enormous help and relief.) - And she checks in with me "off the clock" when things are particularly bad. How often does your doctor follow up with you to make sure you're okay? Personally I don't experience that level of care with otherwise excellent healthcare providers. Uber warm and fuzzy she's not, but Dr O is genuinely invested in my welfare and has been since the first time we met. It was a stroke of luck that I found her. If you wonder whether drug-therapy could improve your quality of life, make an appointment to see her. I've referred others to her. If she can help, she'll let you know. If not, she'll let you know. Priceless.

Betty Contorer is a complete incompetent. She does not own a computer. Does not do research. Is…read moreout-of-date and out-of-touch. My wife was misdiagnosed by her, and her condition progressively worsened almost to the point of suicide. My wife is in a completely different treatment program with a completely different approach. This woman has damaged my life greatly and almost destroyed it. I'm updating what I wrote a year ago because the more I think about the situation the angrier and more disgusted I become. When people hear about Dr. Contorer's approach to my wife's issues, they are appalled and incredulous. My wife was having difficulty distinguishing reality. Betty not only didn't recognize this as a problem but helped to enable it. Her treatment defied basic common sense. My wife saw Betty for over a decade and progressively deteriorated. The evidence of her incompetence is that my wife's new treatment is exactly the opposite of what she received from Betty...and it's helping. I can not emphasize enough to stay away. Updating once again...regrettably my former wife (we were separated at the time) did end up taking her own life on 5/19/2017. Not putting the blame on Dr. Contorer, but her lack of insight was not beneficial to her struggle.

Dr. Contorer is friendly and polite, and has daytime and evening hours. She bills insurance…read moredirectly too. Her office is comfortable, but reminded me of my great aunt's living room. I saw her for a few sessions, and while she was easy to talk to about most things, I was not entirely comfortable with her. I also felt like she did not necessarily "get" me or where I was coming from, and she did not provide as much feedback as I would have liked. She assigns homework for clients to work on, including purchasing and completing workbooks. That was a new experience for me, and I did not feel it helped me any. I'm not saying this as a negative about her or the service she provides, only that it was not right for me. Dr. Contorer also worked as a school teacher and mentioned that many of her clients are teachers as well. I did not know this going in, but appreciated her insight from that angle (I am also a teacher). I would recommend her practice to others, but would also mention how I felt about my own experience with her.

We've been seeing Maggie for three years now for marriage counseling. She is proactive and…read moreempathetic, giving us skills to do the same for ourselves and for each other. We can communicate so much more effectively than three years ago and learned a number of tools that we could use in other settings as well. Fortunately our insurance, Blue Cross PPO, covers our sessions. A friend whose insurance didn't cover mental health paid $165 a session, which is quite hefty. I heard great things about other therapists in this practice as well, namely Joseph and Judith. Their approach is more laid back so if you want more accountability and suggestions, communicate that upfront. The office is located in the loop, accessible by a number of trains and buses. Sign in at the lobby and take the elevator up to the seventh floor. Turn right from the elevator and its the first door to your left. There's a nice little waiting area in the office with tea and water. Highly recommended for a mental health check!

Beware of your optimism, even when you give her all of your information e.g. health insurance card #'s, employer info., date of birth, etc. Etc. There is no guarantee she will follow up, and once you track her down it's "oh, so sorry we gave away the appointment times that were discussed." And if you ask for a recommendation on another facility she has none. She claims she has no clue about the area.....what kind of person that claims to be a professional leaves a person in the lurch without any idea of a referral. Professionals that do not have a referral list clearly are more in it for the money than helping the person. Unprofessional, client beware! The only reason this entry has a star is because YELP makes you select at least one to post.
