She is an intelligent, genuine, compassionate, positive and affirming psychologist who also isn't afraid to ask some questions that will help you with your growth. With her counseling, I have been working through complicated grief, clinical depression, past abuse and trauma issues, and generalized anxiety disorder. I leave every visit with her with some sort of new insight or wisdom that maybe I haven't considered before. She has a wide range of clinical and professional skills and will individualize your therapy to YOUR needs. In closing, she is a very warm, welcoming, and kind person to boot. I have made some substantial personal and mental health growth working with her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :)

Very, very concerned. I called this place for the first time…read moreon Sunday and left a lengthy message with all my information on it. It is now two days later and they did not even give me a call back or anything. When I called them right now, being the one that initiated the second call, the mail that answered had absolutely no reason why they didn't call me back. The only reason that he stated was because they don't work on Sundays. I let him know that in psychiatry, any reasonable person would think it's extremely important that they check their messages when they come in having somebody on call to do that for their patients. Supremely important is that they return phone calls. Any reasonable person in my opinion would believe that if you're dealing in psychiatry, actually somebody's life could be on the line and you don't even call them back for two days. Note that I'm not saying that that's in my case but they have no idea who I am and who the people are. They are calling for the first time. For me to witness them dropping the ball this seriously, I'll be calling somebody else that shows the importance needed to do this type of work and to take it seriously enough. I offered him more than one time to give me a good explanation on why they never called back and he was unable to do it and only apologized. In my opinion, others should realize that they did this.

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Joy but also working with her over the course of 12 weeks…read more Now before I actually get into this review, I want to throw out a few disclaimers...Joy does NOT have a magic wand that will magically make your issues go away. Joy does NOT have the ability to do your work for you and lastly Joy does NOT by any means sell herself short on the services that she provides. Joy, you are an absolute god send. Seriously.... I have been thru various counseling all of my life but that didn't resolve my issues nor did it really give me the tools needed to actually resolve them. So since I had tried that previously and pretty much got the same result, I knew I had to try something different. So, what did I do? I went to my trusty yelp and reached out and received several responses. I had a few phone interviews because I needed to find the right person to help me thru some heavy stuff. I liked Joy right off the bat. You can simply tell by the tone in her voice that she is an angel. I signed up for 6 sessions with Joy...and after my 6th session, I signed up for 6 more. And I threw Joy some crazy challenges (nothing in my life has EVER been easy)....there were issues that she flat out told me she couldn't do anything about (I appreciate the honestly more than you know) and there were some issues where I really feel like I challenged her but guess what? SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME. SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION (again she doesn't have a magic wand). Instead what I received was far far greater than any gift...Joy gave me the tools I needed to see where my deficiencies came from and also gave me some positive insight as to how to fix the behaviors and this is something I now work on EVERY SINGLE DAY and it's made me a better person. So if you feel like you are stuck, and don't know where to go, and you have tried traditional methods (and they haven't really worked) I would seriously urge you to give Joy a call...set up and appointment and more importantly work on your (O&*%(Q*&)%(. Joy, thank you again for everything. I'll be back after tax season and I've already started a list of things to work on when I return to your place...oh and Mr. Meowghee says hello!

It is odd to write a review for something as personal as a psychologist (and I'm sure that's why…read morethere are no other reviews for this business). Even *more* awkward to be the duchess of said business... YAY, my massive mental dysfunction landed me a dukedom! :p At any rate, I recently started seeing David Shoemaker and I'm very pleased with him so far. His office is in a lovely 'painted lady' Victorian home-turned-office building on J Street. The office itself is elegant but relaxed, decorated in jewel tones and dark wood. I like the comfy loveseat and the dim indirect lighting; it makes me feel comfortable and not like I'm under an interrogation lamp. A comfortable environment can really help the counseling process. I can't describe the actual sessions for obvious reasons, but I will say that David is a very good counselor. My main kvetch with counselors en masse are the ones who practice what I call the Dr. Drew approach: any time a woman has a problem, the first things the counselor asks is "Were you ever raped or abused?" and "What is your relationship with your father?" Luckily there is none of that lazy, ineffectual counseling with David. Thank you, Dr. Shoemaker, for your help so far.

Kind of weird to be writing a review for a Psychologist, right?…read more I feel compelled to, though, because Dr. Shoemaker is amazing. And I know when you're looking through your insurance list of in-network providers, it's hard to get a real grasp on if a therapist would be a good fit. I saw Dr. Shoemaker for joint therapy as well as individual therapy for several years. He is just awesome. He's very goal focused.....when you go in, you'll talk about what you want out of therapy and each session will be designed to help get you there. He's just amazing at tactfully bringing up issues that may need work. He's really insightful. And he remembers everything from your previous sessions so you don't waste a lot of time going over the same things over and over (a problem I have experienced). He's kind, thoughtful, and really easy to talk to. I never felt judged. And I always felt like he truly had a goal of helping me improve my life. I gained a LOT of really valuable tools from working with him. Overall, I really really really recommend Dr. Shoemaker.
