Dr. Shaw is amazing. She has helped me personally as well as my relationship with my husband. She…read moreis direct, asks questions that get to the root of the issue and helps you find meaningful solutions and connections. She is kind and genuine. She has so many facets of counseling and I am so grateful to have met her. She is available in person, but also offers distance meetings if it better meets your needs. I can say from personal experience, you will not regret reaching out.

I've been seeing Dr. Yerkes (Lauren) for four years now. I started coming to her for a range of…read moreissues I wanted out of my life like PTSD symptoms, anger and aggression control, negative self-talk, etc. One by one we worked through them and I've changed my reactions and mindset in more ways than I can really appreciate. She has a gift for challenging you and making you think without being overly clinical or off-putting. She's extremely patient and warm. It's something that's rare to find in any doctor let alone in a therapist/psychologist. If you're willing to put it in the work to make yourself better, you'll find no better guide through the mess.

Dr. D'Arienzo himself was a positive experience. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his…read moreoffice staff and office management. The lack of communication and support from the administrative side ultimately led me to seek care elsewhere. When paying a high out-of-pocket cost, a patient should reasonably expect timely responses and basic administrative assistance without having to repeatedly chase down staff. While I was incarcerated and unable to personally call the office, my mother contacted them simply to inform them that I would not be able to attend my appointment. She was not asking for any medical information, only trying to notify them on my behalf. Despite this, I was later charged the full amount for the one-hour session I could not attend. After I was released, I called the office to address the issue and was told that the office manager was out all week and that no one else, including Dr. D'Arienzo, could make a decision. I left a message requesting a return call and never received one. When I followed up again the next week, I was told the office manager was out yet again and that I should call back on Tuesday when she returned. When I asked why there was no one else who could assist, I was simply told to call back. At that point, I explained that I would no longer be using their services because of the poor customer service and lack of concern. The response I received was essentially "thank you and have a nice day," with no effort to resolve the matter or show any concern for the patient experience. It is disappointing because Dr. D'Arienzo himself was excellent, but the office support surrounding him was extremely poor. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

Went through a divorce, both me and my ex-wife are decent people but we disagreed on timeshare…read more because ex-wife reused to agree with standard guidelines we had to go through a social service investigation. Which was absurd. It is all about the money, not about helping families. This office and parent coordinator Cynthia Salameh are both horrible. We had to visit Ms Salameh a handful of times and each time she just gave "advice" that favored the woman, when challenged about her not being legally binding she changed her "advice". Complete waste of time. Read the other reviews, do not fall for the tricks of the family court system - this is all about the money, they do not help families.
