My income has tripled and I received my award-winning doctorate and both those things were out of my reach before I met her. I am a psychotherapist myself with bipolar disorder and I can promise you she is stupendous. She was recommended to me by a leading DBT therapist in NYC. I have also obtained a beautiful home since working with her and a number of other goals have been achieved as a result of her work with me. For example, I had a 20-year driving phobia and now I am sporting a lovely car. :) My husband and I are stunned at my success. I already had it in me but she brought it out. I highly recommend people with mental illness see her. Remember, therapists do not exist to lick your butt. They are there to be compassionate but also to challenge you. It does not always feel good, but it is worth it. Katie is a top notch therapist.

As soon as I emailed her explaining my situation, she got back to me and although it was right around Thanksgiving 2013, she came in the day after Thanksgiving to meet with me. Since then she has been amazing and has, at times, dropped everything to take emergency phone session for me. She might not have time for new clients because she's the best at what she does and she's booked solid. I thank my lucky stars that Jennifer is my therapist. She is one of the most caring and warm people I have ever met. Take it from someone who had more than just a few email exchanges with Jennifer and has gone every week since November 2013, she's amazing and I'd highly recommend her to everyone.

I am a wife and mother with a full time career, and thought it would be nice to take time for me and get a mental health checkup! A couple of questions: 1) Do you have any appointments in the evening (6pmish)? 2) Do you accept Cigna Open Access Plus insurance? Thanks! * From Jennifer Abcug I'm so sorry - my schedule is booked solid. Regrets, --jennifer * Me: for the near future or eternity? * Jennifer: It's very hard to say.

Perhaps Jennifer should look into therapy herself, to perhaps try and reconnect with the oath she took when undertaking this profession to be of service and of help to those in need. Her website asks the question "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" and right now I plan to help anyone considering utilizing Jennifer as her therapist to STEER CLEAR.

Let me preface my review by saying I have no idea how Mr. Cope is as a one-on-one counselor and I…read moredo not intend my review to dissuade anyone from trying counseling here. This is only a review of my experience. I presented to Mr. Cope for a first-time-ever couples counseling session. We went to Mr. Cope because my significant other sees him. Huge mistake. The only thing I can compare the session to would be having couples counseling with one of my significant other's friends. Actually, I think my s.o's friends would make more of an attempt to be unbiased. Mr. Cope made no effort to get to know me, my perspective, where I was coming from, who i am, etc. He reiterated the frustrations that my s.o. had spoken about privately with him and asserted them not as my s.o's interpretations of what was going on but as fact, and ultimately came off like he was pointing the finger. That was neither constructive nor helpful- we went to therapy because we are already quite good at finger pointing on our own. Furthermore, Mr. Cope, without getting to know my personality, feeling me out, or anything else, made a number of unprofessional "jokes" that made me uncomfortable. I was surprised that someone who works in this profession would not realize the importance of connecting with a person and learning their personality before jumping into jokes that ride the line between acceptable and not. My s.o. and I followed his advice and took a full day to let us absorb what was said in session. We went on to have a lovely rest of the night but the next day, once everything was "absorbed", it was like a grenade was set off between my s.o. and I. We had to then wade through what were words put in our mouths during session versus what was actually the truth between us. We are in worse shape for having tried counseling here. This is not to say that Mr. Cope was completely wrong. Some of his advice was sound and on point. My point is that a lot of it wasn't helpful, wasn't correct about us as individuals or what we are like in our relationship, and much of the session was a lecture. It seemed to me that Mr. Cope was unable to be an unbiased participant in the session because he already knew a lot about my s.o's perspective. I will not be returning.
