Dr. Greenberg is an astute, caring, warm, and highly skilled therapist who works effectively with…read morecouples and individuals. I have known her since 1994 and we have worked separately and in tandem with patients in which I was treating the individual and she saw the couple. In addition, Dr. Greenberg is very talented in helping people navigate any parenting difficulties. I know her work intimately since we have participated in professional consultation groups together over the years. She is one of my main referral resources when any of my clients need couple's therapy. I know when I send clients to her that they will receive the best care, and I highly recommend her for those with any relationship issues. Judy H.Smith, Ph.D.

It was a huge decision for me to enter therapy. I'd had several (brief) prior experiences with…read moreother therapists and was openly jaded and hesitant to give it another try. I was at the end of my emotional rope though -- dealing with major depression, loss, anxiety, burnout, and an array of issues from childhood that were apparently still waiting for me. In short order, I found Dr. Greenberg to be noticeably different from the other therapists I'd dealt with. She is engaged, tuned in, and an extremely astute listener who seems to truly care that she is helping. She is not at all shy about providing open, honest feedback that addresses directly the issue(s) at hand, and she is clearly both intelligent and well trained. I've seen her now for well over a year, in both individual and group formats, and have always found her to be incredibly objective, supportive, sensitive, kind, compassionate and very easy to open up to -- which is an invaluable credential for some of us. I genuinely believe she takes great pride in her work and seeing her patients progress. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Greenberg.

In about 7 sessions, we were all set for life. I value this highly. Prices are crazy high, though. It always bothers me when prices are crazy high, because then I know I have someone who thinks that the balance between money and helping someone is not what I would like it to be. Please don't go to her for individual counseling. On an individual level, I found her to be extremely cold. I quickly realized that I'd seriously rather sit in my car by myself than to pay for what felt like contempt towards me in her office, so I quit seeing her for individual therapy (this was some years after successful couple's therapy). Bonnie's skills are bringing other people together, but not so much in connecting with them herself. Also, and this is just stupid, we decided to trade candy recipes. A few weeks after I brought mine in, she said that she absolutely could not give me her candy recipe. Bizarre.

I spent a lot of time and a lot of my own money seeing Diane Strongwater over many years. The end…read morefor me was when she insisted on a five day/week plan that had me paying for any days I could not make it to appointments. When she wanted to go on vacation I just had to accept her calendar. I can't believe I did this for several years. Paying for appointments I didn't attend. Some kind of weird economic tough love in the Jungian model?! In any case, I see Strongwater has moved upmarket to Los Altos, so good for her. I noticed that her clients that I saw coming and going were all females in true distress, just like me. But they had to have money as well. I referred a person to Strongwater and she declined her. I think the prospective patient was too young and not enough long term earning potential. When I decided to stop therapy I got a lot of push back. And not in a positive way. I was being told that I wasn't ready to leave. Made to feel that I would fail. I was sent a totally inappropriate letter from Strongwater after I stopped communicating with her. This was after her setting strict boundaries about how I could communicate with her - translate to " not unless we are on the clock and you are paying". Strnagwater also frequently used the term "breaking the container of the relationship" which I now understand to mean she set the boundaries of how and when she was accessible to me. Fair enough. But she did t mind breaking the container in her own way when I left counseling, and then later sending me a letter to my office asking for referrals. Seriously. I noticed some time ago that Strongwater's web site says something like, patients (aka customers) can come in at the frequency they like, etc. I suspect this is in reaction to the market because it's not as easy nowadays (vs (2008 or so) to force vulnerable people who can pay into an unbelievable scheme of paying the provider regardless of whether the patient is receiving anything. Wish I had not fallen for that shtick of deep psychotherapy five days a week. Have to say however, I did learn a lot about myself in that my idea that true "analysis" would help me or fix my problems got to work itself out, and I can remove that from the solution list. The idea of laying on the couch and doing the whole Freudian/Yungian (I think Strongwater calls herself Yungian) thing was intriguing, but now I did it. And what I learned is that counseling/therapy/whatever-you-call-it is a business. If you are in distress and have no one else to turn to use it as you need. Just be careful that you don't get exploited by yet another person in your life. Strongwater is very smart in picking patients who have the combination of damage and submissiveness and then assuming the dominant role. Whether that dominant role is Mom or whatever, who cares, I'm sure it's tailored to the patient. Just be careful. If you want to talk to someone I sincerely hope you have a friend that will listen to you for free. And care about you.
