As previous reviewers (most removed, sadly) have commented, the provider lacks boundaries and…read moredisplays poor personal judgement. When I brought my child to see him, we entered the waiting area and pressed the call button. He was in his office but did not come until 30 minutes past our appointment time. While we were waiting, we heard what can only be described as sexual noises coming from his office, and when he finally came to the waiting room, he was with another man and they were both disheveled. I have nothing against a mid day romp, but the context was unacceptable. I certainly hope he was not taking advantage of a client and the man we saw was a friend or partner. Needless to say, we did not see this provider again.

Dr. Hammerman is not a 'pill-pusher,' he only recommends/prescribes things that he really feels will help you in the long term, so don't go in there expecting to waltz out after 20 minutes with Xanax prescription. If you are looking for a new psychiatrist for your child (or yourself), I highly recommend Dr. Hammerman.

I had become desperate with post partum depression going on over two years and was having every area of my life implode including a great job at one of the best companies in the world to work for, my family and friendships. Dr. Barshack is one of and if not the best medication management psychiatrists nationwide and I'm grateful he is able to help me and my family finally have a life again. I hope other reviews were well thought out and not posted by a scared and anxious parent just trying to do best by their child in need. Dr Barshack is not a therapist and his specialty is pharmacology/med management. Although it's not my choice to use illegal substances or others not prescribed by my doctor, I've seen enough good doctors to understand that they will share the truth with the patient and any research done on the topic including any pros and cons. There are very good reasons for patient confidentiality and I hope one negative review from a parent of a teen who doesn't follow doctor's orders doesn't reflect negatively on such a good professional who saves lives daily. Hope this helps.

I saw Dan Neuharth for a little while, and unfortunately, my experience was not very good. Since…read morethere's limited information about him online beyond his own website, I wanted to share my personal experience in case it helps others on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Therapy can be a major emotional, financial, and time investment. After some reflection, I've come to realize that I left my time with Dan feeling worse than when I began. A subsequent therapist I saw was shocked and concerned by some of the things he said to me. In hindsight, it often felt like the focus was more on him than on helping me. There were moments in therapy where I felt manipulated -- especially after sharing something vulnerable. Dan came across as thin-skinned and reactive, and at times I noticed flashes of what felt like intense anger. On more than one occasion, he spoke very harshly about people he disagreed with or perceived as less intelligent. I didn't fully recognize it at the time, but now I understand just how unsettling this is coming from a therapist who is in a position of power. Looking back, it struck me that so many of Dan's behaviors seemed reminiscent of the negative traits often associated with Donald Trump, including a lack of emotional attunement, more limited compassion, a certain sense of entitlement, and the rapid onset of anger -- at least in my experience with him. Additionally, he would imply what words I should or shouldn't use, and was intense about it. He often stonewalled when he disagreed over relatively minor topics or terms. This felt controlling rather than constructive. Also, he ran late to sessions and was frequently disorganized. I looked into his educational background and found that his psychology degree appears to have come from a for-profit school with a high acceptance rate. A basic search returned poor reviews of the rigor of education there. I could be wrong, and this alone isn't disqualifying, but it added to my concerns about the level of care I received. Over time, it started to feel like Dan struggled with internal confusion or unresolved issues that were being projected onto my work. I believe this affected my ability to gain clarity and feel grounded. After therapy with him ended, those effects began to fade -- but it took time. While I can't speak to Dan's motivations, I've wondered why he chose this profession -- especially with a focus on narcissism -- given the new understanding I have of his conduct. If you are seeking help with narcissistic abuse or trauma, I would advise being cautious. This is simply my experience, and others may have different ones. But based on what I went through, I believe there are better options out there -- especially now that remote therapy has made high-quality care more accessible. There are many ethical, helpful therapists out there. Unfortunately, there are also some who can do more harm than good. Trust your instincts and take care of yourself.

I wouldn't be writing this review of Dr. Dan Neuharth if I hadn't just come across a very negative…read morereview of him, written on July 12, 2025. I don't like publicly outing myself as a former client, but I just cannot let that bad review stand. IMHO, Dr. Neuharth is such an outstanding therapist!! Basically, the short version of what I want to say is that every negative comment made by that reviewer, would be accurate if it were flipped to the reverse. In my experience, Dr. Neuharth is exceedingly respectful and caring. From the first minute of the session to the last minute, he is alert, interested, and totally focused on you, the client. He is exceptionally supportive. He is not reactive or defensive, but routinely invites feedback and criticism. This is extremely healing to people who had to be vigilant as children never to criticize parents. Negative reviewer stated, "Lack of emotional attunement." The opposite is true. Dr. Dan is extremely emotionally attuned. You can see this, in his demeanor, in an interview he did on Dr. Les Carter's "Surviving Narcissism" YouTube channel, and in a talk on RECAMFT YouTube channel entitled "Working Effectively with Clients Raised in Narcissistic Families." Watch for yourself. Decide for yourself. Best of luck to everyone out there!!

From matching and finalization to attaching with our kiddos and becoming a family of five, Devon continually blew me away. Thoughtful about the source of behavior, equipping us with the "right" language to use and tremendously targeted actions to develop our family dynamic, she shepherded us through our first year with grace, wisdom, positivity and professionalism. With her years of experience, she considers - and seems to intuitively understand - each family member and how to bring us together. Devon's warm and professional nature left us always feeling able to be wholly transparent in feelings and challenges. After every interaction, we would leave with greater understanding on the why, thoughtful next steps including the language to use and confidence that our family would continue moving forward. We are not the first, nor the last, and this perspective makes everything easier. I can't recommend Devon highly enough - we were honored to have her as our FFA social worker in the process and thrilled to be able to hire her independently after finalization to continue to help us, as needed, in the years to come!

I can't recommend Devon highly enough. The field of post-adoption counseling is pretty slim…read morepickings. Issues like attachment, PTSD, and delayed emotional development are challenges for every adopted child, but few knowledgeable guides for adoptive parents are available. And raising an adopted child is in many ways counter-intuitive. Example: raising a bio kid who has experienced consistent attachment is about nurturing independence; raising an adopted child is about fostering dependence. Kids with attachment disorders often make no sense at first glance. Their behavior can be completely mystifying and our natural impulses exacerbate the problem rather than healing it. This is where someone like Devon comes in. She has helped us understand child development, and the variations on it that occur in a traumatized or adopted child. She has been our steady guide in healing and raising our beautiful son, enlightening us in areas we didn't even know existed. Without her, to put it bluntly, we would have botched the job. We learned about Devon from our social worker, who had been her colleague for many years and considered her an expert in attachment. We attended a free class taught by Devon, for adoptive parents, and our eyes opened to the patterns we were seeing that differed so much from what we understood and expected. Since then we have worked with her at various stages of our son's development, and have been grateful every step of the way for her deep knowledge and support. Besides her expertise, we love her practical and non-judgmental support. She works with real people, real kids, real families, and encourages us to feel good about ourselves, rather than to strive for some perfect model that no one can achieve. She considers the whole family dynamic, every person of which is impacted by these issues, and she has reminded us to take care of ourselves and each other on this journey, as well as our little guys. She's also fun and grounding -- let's solve this one bite at a time and enjoy it too. We are profoundly grateful for having Devon in our lives.
