They do not return calls, and when someone finally did, both of his follow‑up appointments were pushed back. I repeatedly explained that stopping these medications abruptly is unsafe and not medically advised, yet no one treated the situation with any urgency. Their lack of communication puts patients at real risk. If anything happens to my son because they failed to provide timely care, I will be seeking legal action. No family should have to fight this hard for basic, essential medical follow‑through. Avoid this place. Their negligence is not just unprofessional -- it's dangerous.

Maya- ALWAYS was efficient, took care of all my questions, and was on top of anything and everything. When I needed documents sent out or paperwork handled she was my go to. She's also insanely funny and makes "annoying" instances bareable and handles them speedy and properly. She's professional and seriously the one to go to when you need something. Especially a good laugh! My clinicians made me comfortable, related to me, and always addressed me with genuine care in my process to cope with many hardships. My individual Mike- was laid back, up to date on my status, and easy to talk / vent to. Overall- the care i received I was content and again the attentiveness of the front desk (MAYA) made everything as smooth as it could be.

All new patient-therapist relationships seem to require a lengthy "breaking in period" before a level of comfort is established, but Dr. Murphy's calm demeanor and interest what the patient wants and needs made the transition very easy for me. Under her care I never felt judged or that my postpartum depression case was pushed aside. Thanks to Dr. Murphy, I've been sane and happy and not needed to visit over a year. Psychiatry works, people!!! Positive unrelated to psychiatry: Has a really cute dog. Two negatives: She doesn't take my insurance (Aetna) and I had several lengthy games of phone tag with her -- not 100% her fault, mind you, but it happened enough for me to know that if I called around 4pm-ish, for example, I'd hear from her more quickly than if I called at 11am. However, she responded to texts very quickly and ALWAYS responded to emergency calls immediately.

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.

Dr. Meredith Hemphill is great. Have been working with her for the past 3+ years. She is kind,…read morethoughtful, openminded, extremely professional and positive. I have tried many therapists and have come to realize that no matter what style the therapist is using the key determinant of whether they are good or not is how I feel after the sessions and over the period of working with the therapist.

Meredith is also very knowledgeable about CBT, which was exactly what I needed.

From relationships, to work issues, to adjusting to being a new mom she has been greatly influential in my well being over the last year.

She is always pleasant and professional, establishes boundaries while also building relationships, is kind, patient, and thoughtful. If she wasn't our therapist we would definitely want her as a friend!

I had AMAZING THERAPY SESSIONS with Dr. Hanakawa to get rid of my PHOBIA and anxiety around it in…read morejust seven sessions! I just wanted to thank her and share this experience with others so that others like me feel easy to at least try it out instead of suffering through it. She is not only a skillful and knowledgeable therapist, but her personality is down to earth, genuinely sweet and kind. She also seems to take a good care of her own health, meditate, and study constantly to keep up to be a good therapist (I cannot listen to a doctor who looks unhealthy and tells me to be healthy, you know?) so that I can talk about both psychological (phobia and stress) issues as well as physical concerns (I do not like psychoanalysts who think every physical symptom comes from psychosomatic symptoms). I was surprised that it did not take much time for me to relax and trust her. I used to have very sever hemophobia (afraid of blood), and I tried all kinds of therapy to get rid of it over many years. I used to faint by just drawing out my blood; CBT and other psychotherapy reduced my symptoms and cognitive fear, but I was still physically shaky whenever I was around blood (even cooking meat was hard). Since I was working in the mental health industry for several years, I've worked with several top psychiatrists who also did psychotherapy, PsyD., counselors, and clinical social workers... I myself had a great psychoanalyst mentor (Ph.D., who went to the same school as Dr. Hanakawa) for 4 years, and I thought I had quite bit of insight. My ex-mentor figured out that my phobia started through some event during my childhood, so she recommended me to find a Japanese speaking psychologist who could do hypno-therapy (She said it is more effective to use the language that I was using as a child). There are many Japanese clinical social workers in NY, but not many Ph.D.s... It would have been fine with other people, but it was a problem for me because I know the difference in their training. Then, one of my friends, who works for a Japanese newspaper company heard good things about her, and introduced me to Dr. Hanakawa. So I went to see her. I am a very scientific thinker, so I must say I was a bit skeptical if this therapy would work or not after trying so many other things. I heard some phobias are innate (such as blood, heights and snakes, etc.), so I thought talking about traumatic views I evidenced (which was not that serious anyway, I thought) would not benefit me as much. Oh, Boy, I'm so glad I was wrong though. She guided me into a meditative state, and took me to my childhood event. It was a totally different experience to see the event from a 5-yr old's eyes, and it gave me a new perspective that I did not have before. We worked on it over a month or so, and I started to feel lighter almost immediately (of course, it put me up and down a bit as I was learning new things about my past that I was not facing, but Dr. Hanakawa was there to support me). One day, I was watching a bloody surgery video as part of CBT exposure therapy technique. I used to push myself to watch them more than 15 minutes, but I always got pale and felt sick. It became easier, and now I can watch them with absolutely no symptoms! She said the speed of therapy is really depending on the patient's condition, type of therapy, and previous exposure to psychotherapy. I assume it was very quick for me because I already had previous therapy experience, had some insights about myself, and meditate regularly (it helps to get hypnotized). So please don't get frustrated if your therapy takes little longer... you will be in good hands! :)

Before I initially went to her, I really appreciated that she called me to see whether the issues I was having would be best treated by the type of services she offered. This made me immediately feel that she was interested in my wellbeing regardless of if I went to her or not--which is certainly not the feeling I have encountered when I previously sought out other mental health care providers. It's worth noting that her goal wasn't to keep me as a long term client, but to provide me with coping strategies and skills to better handle stressors and other life challenges. Overall, I am very pleased with the experience.
