If you are looking for a really fantastic Psychologist, John Altman is your guy! He has been my…read moredoctor for close to half of my life- which is about 20 years. He is very easy to talk to, has helped me through a couple of very rough spots in my life. I tend to suffer from severe depression when I am not taking an anti-depressant. We're talking "Suicidal" thoughts everyday -type of depression. I also have A.D.D. which he has helped me with as well. There is no shame in admitting this. I'm very open with my friends and family about my issues, because I feel that so many people in our world suffer from the same issues and not all of them understand that there IS help out there. I love Dr. Altman. He's helped me and my family so much. We'd be lost without him.

Ask me what I don't love about Dr. Jay Fibus? Seriously,…read moreGOOD LUCK finding a therapist like him and his associates--I truly mean that with all the love in my heart, but read on if you've landed on this review and you're "shopping around" for a new therapist or were referred to him by someone. No joke, the guy is a freaking genius. Cambridge graduate and has applied the most unique skills in our therapy sessions. I loved meeting in his office and never thought I would be okay with zooming into our sessions because of the pandemic, but oh my gosh--they've AWESOME because of how vulnerable I can still be from the comfort of my own home. In a nutshell, my husband left my son and me, almost losing my job, my home, and custody of my son (prior marriage). Dr. Fibus not only helped me pick up the ashes of where my life was but he sat in the trenches with me as I was sitting in the dung. Let's just say the depression of co-dependency was far too much and I didn't reach self-care and healthy until I opened up and got real with him. He then helped me walk through the dark rooms of my mind which I had vowed to never let anyone in. He held my hand metaphorically and walked me up the stairs to life's reality so I could sing again from the mountaintops. Therapy takes time and unless you are thirsty for it, don't bother. It'll be a waste of everyone's time, treasures, and skilled talent. But when you do decide that your life has gotten to a point where it's led you to this review then understand this of yourself, it's time to make the call and I hope it's to Dr. Fibus. I was so fearful of going because I didn't want anyone to see the hurts, but in doing so, I've gained all that is good back into my life and then some and they're here to stay. I will never say it's easy, never. It takes mental work and your willingness to open up. It's NOT easy. It's the weak that say therapy is a bunch of crap. To that, I say hogwash! It takes so much work to rewire a marriage, a relationship or your mind. So again, unless you're willing to be serious, don't bother. Dr. Fibus gave me permission to self-reflect on the trials and circumstances that led to the healing of the negative and ugly scars of my life. He did it such a funny and gentle way that I never imagined in a million years I would have the perspective I do about those moments. I have learned to embrace them all and allowed myself to finally become more vulnerable and a feeler in my life. I didn't realize the techniques because they came naturally to our conversations and nothing about it was awkward like I had envisioned they would be when "sitting in a therapy session." My life was super far from being screwed up--I just had to learn the fabric of my own DNA and realized in time that life, indeed, is beautiful. He's respectful of both genders and gave me security and compassion when my husband left. He never made it awkward when I would sit for a while and lament and just cry out. He was above reproach and respectful to my ex when he made that decision to stay focused on my journey without being biased. When I ask him a question he is so direct but with a light hearted charm that made me go back out into the world and reestablish my life and identity. He's taught me what healthy boundaries are and worked with me on the darkest days of my depression. He's helped my son out in a few sessions along with his associate who my son just adores and can call up at any moment knowing if he needs an outlet, they are there for him. It got really rough when his step dad had just walked out me but on him too. I have learned that being a successful single mom can be messy, difficult, and imperfect but that it can also be organized, easy, and perfect on some days. I see life as progressive where as before I was looking for perfection; felt I was letting down others; or would anger easily if the person I was co-dependent on would "let me down." The struggles were real and now they're struggles that are super manageable. He's referenced reading material that I thrive at when given quiet moments to read. He taught me that audible books on the way to work can re-wire my brain if I lend myself 20 minutes just to work on myself daily. I take compliments and see the beauty of my journey and how far I have come. I see all of the beauty and thrive from the scars to know that each one them has a story for someone to hear them at the right moment. With all the experiences I've had, I can relate to just about anyone where as before I wanted to depend on a person to make me happy and hide from the world. Don't even overthink it, pick up the phone and just make that appointment, I promise you--you will NOT be disappointed!

I noticed a huge difference in my mood and sleeping problems. While you're watching a show or movie, your brain is really rewiring itself, creating and locking in new neurons.

She relaxes you, has a very pleasant demeanor, listens intently and asks great questions to get all sides. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough. She's just fantastic and me and my family member look forward to each meeting. Each time I go (3x's so far) I leave with a burden or issue left behind (I have a lot of issues so every time I loose or lighten that burden is a victory). I really don't have adequate words to describe how very pleased we are with her. People, if you have any kind of mental burdens this is the doctor to see. Many problems I have that I've discussed with her have been resolved because some of my issues she's had experiences with also. She truly is a great doctor. We just love her!!

This is the first negative review that I have ever left, but in this case I must tell you:…read more whatever you do, do not hire Dr. Schierholz. This man should not be allowed to treat patients, and in fact I have had to consider whether to file a professional complaint against him. After a very nice initial consultation, I met with him. He sat me far across the room from him, and in the process of asking me about my issues and history, made me feel very uncomfortable. Things came to a head when he asked me if I'd feel better about things if I "came and sat in his lap." At this point, he had crossed the line far beyond any professional interaction, and I ended the meeting. He did not offer me any advice, nor do anything but listen to my issues, tell me that I had lots of problems, and then make an odd sexual advance. He then tried to charge me for not only that session, but the following! Once again, run, do not walk, away from this very bad doctor.

Warning, I saw Doctor Mike Fatula for approximately 7 sessions and am posting this review over a…read moremonth after my last session because I believe other people should be aware of the unprofessionalism I dealt with over those 7 sessions. On our first session, Dr Fatula double booked me, and called trying to cancel my appointment, claiming it never existed 2 days before the session. Now I came to Dr Fatula to get help with OCD, so he was well aware of my issues regarding changing plans at the last minute and being disorganized. I should have just taken that as a sign and not come back. I payed my copay at the end of each session, even paying $20 instead of my $15 required sometimes to carry over to the best session. At some point, Dr Fatula decided I had underpaid at a session and I owed him $5. I asked to see his records and speak to billing. He said he would do so, but then never followed through. Dr Fatula gives no receipts for his copays, keeps no records (as far as I've been made aware), and is so disorganized in his scheduling that I honestly don't know how he still has patients. Finally, at one point during our sessions Dr Fatula asked for a consent to speak to my psychiatrist. I signed the form and at the next session he gave me an account of their conversation, claiming my psychiatrist didn't want me to change meds and just wanted me to keep going to therapy (presumably with Dr Fatula). When I spoke to my psychiatrist (who I have the utmost respect for), he informed me that he'd never heard from Dr Fatula and they've never spoken. In all, I was overcharged for services that were provided in an unprofessional manner, double booked, and lied to about communications. Dr Fatula is the least professional therapist I have ever worked with and I'd advise anyone considering him as an option to run the other direction as fast as they can.
