I just finished, yet again, recommending Pauline Carides to a friend. I no longer live in the area…read morebut when I did, I went to Pauline. She thinks outside the box, she engages, she recommends, she listens, and she cares. I see a poor review on here. To the person who wrote that review, I'm so sorry to hear that something went terribly wrong for you. It sounds awful. I can't imagine how it could have happened, though, so I'm scratching my head a bit. Pauline is very professional. Anyway, I highly recommend her, especially if you have a real sticky or unusual problem, or you feel you are "different" in some way. Pauline is an intelligent, creative, problem-solver.

I am a current patient of hers for the last 3 years and could not think of a better therapist than…read morePauline. This is my 3rd time in therapy, so I have experience in this area. Not only does she encourage me to change my reactions and behavior to help with my issues, but she's also an excellent resource for recommending other resources and techniques in many other areas. She keeps training and is very knowledgeable about a wide range of therapies, including ones that are not in her specialty. More than once she has spent her own time getting recommendations for me for family members who needed help. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to refer someone to her. She is worth every penny I have spent because she helped me realize what I need in my life to be a happier and healthier person all around.

I've known Heather Wilke for 3 years when she moved her office into our suite in Ridgewood. She has…read morea very kind, warm and professional demeanor. As a colleague, one never really knows the effectiveness of another colleague. Not until, that is, you receive feedback. Well, in the past three years I have referred several clients to Heather. And the feedback has been resoundingly positive. The most common words I hear is "I love her! She's great!" I can confidently refer and confidently recommend Heather Wilke!

Prior to seeing Tanvi, I have never seeked counseling before. Going into my first session, I was…read moreextremely nervous and embarrassed since I am a very shy person. Tanvi showed that she quickly understood my feelings and concerns. She associated patterns of dissatisfaction within my personal life. With her kindness, understanding, and lack of judgement, she turned our therapy sessions something I actually looked forward to. Tanvi has had a huge impact on my life and I am extremely grateful I have the opportunity to be her patient.

My wife and I are forever grateful to Kristen Estrella (therapist) for all the help and treatment…read morewe received for our daughter during the 2020-22 period. At a time when almost all therapists refused to see patients in-person during the early months of the pandemic, Kristen was so accommodating to provide both in-person and virtual sessions, whichever worked better for our family any time our daughter needed therapy. Kristen is extremely patient with the kids and is a great listener. She always came up with bright ideas to address any concerns we had with our defiant child, and always made sure to follow up with us to assure we were making progress with regards to the treatment for that concern. In total we had almost 40 sessions over a 20-month period, and we are more than happy for every minute and every penny we spent on the therapy sessions! I definitely recommend Kristen Estrella and the Lukin team to anyone in the Ridgewood/Bergen County area who is in need of a fantastic therapist for their child!

Here's the thing: You hope that therapists are all empathetic, kind, and ethical. You expect them…read moreto be - after all, they're in the helping profession. But people enter these professions for different reasons, and having seen my share of truly crazy (no non-PC pun intended) therapists, Dr. Michelson is a diamond in the rough. She is truly patient-centered - no talking down, no dismissive advice - talking to her is like having a conversation with a trusted friend who really cares about your well-being. So while she is supportive, she will do the right thing and push you to think about areas of your life differently. She focuses on teaching skills in a way that anyone can understand and apply to his/her own life. Add a doctoral training and Dr. Michelson is someone that I trust to not just be a good therapist but a good DOCTOR. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know.
