TL;DR: This program has excellent group therapy and several outstanding providers, but my…read moreexperience with individual therapy and the handling of consent and billing issues significantly detracted from my overall care. I am giving this program 3.5 stars, and I want to be clear that I would have given it 5 stars were it not for my experience with individual therapy. The group therapy component was excellent. The clinicians who facilitated the groups were knowledgeable, compassionate, and created a genuinely supportive environment. I found the group work to be meaningful and beneficial to my treatment, and I am grateful for that part of the program. I also want to specifically acknowledge Hunter and Juan, who facilitated group therapy. Both were thoughtful, compassionate, and skilled at creating a safe and respectful group space. Their groups were grounding and well-run, and they made a meaningful positive impact on my experience. I would also like to recognize Albert, who was a wonderful provider. He was attentive, compassionate, and supportive, and consistently made me feel heard and respected. My interactions with him reflected the level of professionalism and empathy patients hope for when entering treatment. Unfortunately, my experience with my assigned individual therapist, Emily Tully, significantly impacted my overall care. I entered this program during a period of significant emotional distress and was actively seeking care, support, and stabilization. In my experience, the individual therapy I received did not provide that. Throughout my sessions, I found her to be emotionally unavailable and dismissive, particularly during moments when I was vulnerable or struggling. I have participated in several treatment programs over the years, and this was the first time I experienced an individual therapeutic relationship that felt consistently cold and lacking in understanding or care. When I shared openly, I often felt met with a critical or judgmental tone rather than curiosity or support. The approach felt directive rather than collaborative, which made it difficult to engage meaningfully or feel safe expressing myself. I also want to note an experience that felt particularly discouraging. Emily was aware that I was pursuing additional treatment to supplement my care and that I would need to miss a day in the program for that reason. I was told I would be required to provide a written note for each absence, despite having already signed a release authorizing her to communicate directly with the other treatment provider. While I understand that documentation requirements may be part of program policy, the way this was communicated felt corrective rather than supportive or collaborative. This approach felt unnecessarily rigid and non-collaborative, and left me feeling unsupported in my efforts to responsibly manage my care. Additionally, I believe it is important for prospective patients to be aware of the program's laboratory practices. The program utilizes an out-of-network laboratory, with individual lab tests billed at approximately $1,500 each. I was not adequately informed of this in advance. When I expressed discomfort and clearly stated multiple times that I did not consent to assuming financial responsibility for these charges, I was repeatedly told by Emily that signing paperwork accepting financial responsibility was required. My concerns were not met with understanding or discussion, but rather with continued pressure to sign despite my objections. In a therapeutic setting, compassion, collaboration, transparency, and respect for patient consent are essential. While the group component of this program -- and providers like Hunter, Juan, and Albert -- were strong, my experience with individual therapy and the handling of billing and consent issues fell short of those standards and significantly impacted my overall experience.

Although I was initially resistant to attending a program at GenPsych, primarily because of the…read more6-12 week commitment, I am exceedingly grateful that my physician required me to enroll. Their outstanding curriculum inevitably leads to a steep and necessary learning curve in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and wide variety of critical skills that can lead a calm, balanced, and healthy life. For those of you who have experienced CBT and remain on-the-fence about this approach, I am happy to report that GenPsych moves the needle to another level and I view their CBT offerings as a program on steroids (a good thing). Additionally, the 1:1 counseling was superb as well, leading (so far) to lasting change, which reminds me of these lyrics from the musical, "Wicked," "Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better And because I knew you... Because I knew you... I have been changed for good..." Choose GenPsych and be prepared to change for the better so that you can begin living your best life NOW! This group of experts will introduce you to own significance, your own self-worth, and instill healing that, for many of us, is long overdue.

I have been under the care and guidance of Dr. Judith Gurfein, for a number of years, and she has contributed to my well being and has helped me understand the issues which have caused my anxiety and depression. Her technique is one of warmth, and she invites her clients to open up in a way where they feel comfortable, and relaxed. I believe it is this particular technique which has brought me to where I am today, and with her continued support and guidance I am sure I will continue to grow and learn from her. It is without reservations, I recommend Dr. Judith Gurfein.

But once I finally picked up the phone to call Hudson Psychiatric, they have me going through hoops. I just want to see someone, and I can't get past their front office staff because based off of a few questions they believe I was in intensive care (I wasn't) and now want to see all of my psychiatric medical records. It'll be weeks, if not months, until *they* decide whether or not I can see someone. So now I have more anxiety and still no psychiatrist. The irony is palpable. I won't be pursuing help here, because by the time I get it, I fear I'll be in an even worse place.

My husband is diagnosed with BPD and we are having difficulty communicating. The first session she couldn't handle my husband and said that she won't be able to help us and would refer us to another therapist who's better equipped to help us. I didn't mind that, but then by the end of the session she said she would continue as our therapist but we will start doing individual sessions with her then as a couple. I saw her individually for like 3 or 4 times and the same for my husband. We were supposed to have a couples session but I asked her earlier if we can do it on separate devices so I am more comfortable. She said she'll look into it, she didn't get back to me until I texted her the day of the session and she said that she wasn't able to make it happen. I was out of the house and we couldn't have the couples session which upset my husband greatly. The administration refused using google meet. They are currently using Doxy which only allows one device which I find very illogical. I ended up having the session alone, she mentioned that she was leaving the group but we still had at least 3 months and that before she leaves she was going to refer us to another therapist. My husband was so upset that day, he sent her an angry email. I texted her next week on the day of our session, if we were going to have a couples session or an individual one . She responded by telling me to call the office to reschedule with another therapist because she's leaving, even though she told me a week before that we still have time before referring us. I called the office and they told me that the therapist that we were working with is the one who should refer us to the other therapist and they will reach back to me. I texted the therapist asking her if she referred us, I haven't heard back from her nor the office. In addition I tried to call to schedule an appointment with a therapist for myself and till now I heard nothing. Very unprofessional and no follow through whatsoever!
