Just the task of finding a Doctor that I felt comfortable with was something I dreaded and that…read morealone, was enough to put me in therapy. But I completely lucked out in finding Dr. Kennedy in this crazy city and I'm really grateful. Though this is my first experience with any kind of therapist, I can tell that he's seriously talented at what he does. I actually look forward to my appointments and feel better leaving them. I understand he specializes in LGBT issues, but that's not what I went to him for. I saw him for family-related therapy, but I suppose it just goes to show how versatile he is. After a month of what I would consider intense therapy at a fast-pace (my choice), I felt like a completely different person, with a better understanding of a situation that had me feeling completely confused and overwhelmed. He's sensitive, understanding and also was encouraging, which surprised me. I didn't know what to expect going to a therapist... maybe criticism, a wake-up call, who knows... but I actually felt like he had a vested interest in my well being and was cheering me on. He praised me on how hard I was working to get resolutions and confront fears and situations that were very difficult for me. But he only gave praise when it was due - which makes it feel more genuine. His office is in a building that reminds me of an old school, and it's centrally located and easy to access from the N or R trains. The waiting area is just two chairs outside of Dr. Kennedy's office and another Doctor's office, but the doors are surprisingly sound-proof. I was afraid that people sitting in the waiting room would be able to hear my loud speaking voice, but I realized while sitting there myself, I couldn't hear a thing. It's a decent sized-room with a sofa, in a professional setting and he always has a full box of tissues on the side table. He also has a good online service for you to communicate with him, book/see/cancel appointments and even text message alerts for upcoming appointments, which I appreciate as a busy individual. I'm not completely done with my treatment, but I know that with Dr. Kennedy as my Doctor, I'll be fine. In such a short amount of time, he's helped me tremendously and overall seems like such a genuine person. The doctor/patient relationship quickly feels as comfortable as a friendship. He remembers all of my family/friends' names that I mention during treatment and uses them himself, which makes it feel so much more personal. I definitely recommend Dr. Kennedy. You can't go wrong with him and if you're looking for someone who cares and someone you can really open up to and share everything with, he's the doctor for you.

Dr. Kennedy is a fantastic therapist.

He also specializes in body image issues, but is capable to discuss any issue. His office is comfortable, relaxed, and his practice challenges you in conversation, while also making you feel like you are talking to a trusted friend. I had to stop seeing him because my insurance changed (he does take some insurance), but I cannot recommend him enough for both men and women and hope to be able to .

I'm writing this review to warn others about the serious mismanagement I experienced at Anza…read moreWellness that has had real, harmful consequences for my health. What happened: I sent a thoughtful message to my prescribing physician, Dr. Reid, asking about communication and transparency in my care, specifically about a medication restriction that wasn't discussed during our session. This was NOT a request for an early refill or replacement of lost medication. Dr. Wasef, the Medical Director who was not part of my care or that conversation, intercepted the message and completely misread it. He accused me of requesting early controlled substance refills, something I never asked for, and cancelled my active prescription without any discussion or warning. The consequences were immediate and severe: - I went from having an active prescription to having NONE because I asked a legitimate question about my care - I was forced to fill at a pharmacy that only carries the Mallinckrodt manufacturer, a brand that causes me documented severe side effects - I've been suffering from significant fatigue and anxiety without the focus I need, and pharmacists have confirmed this manufacturer is problematic for many patients - Despite multiple emails explaining this medical error, I received ZERO responses from either Dr. Reid or Dr. Wasef This is medical negligence. A patient should not have their medication cancelled based on a complete misreading of their communication. A Medical Director should not intervene in patient care without understanding the context. And a practice should NEVER leave a patient in medical distress without any response whatsoever. The lack of accountability, the refusal to communicate, and the dismissive treatment I received when trying to advocate for my own health is unacceptable and frankly dangerous. I trusted this practice with my psychiatric care, and they abandoned me when I needed help most. If you value responsive communication, accurate record-keeping, and providers who actually read what you write before making life-altering decisions about your medication, go elsewhere.

My initial consultation with Dr. Caleb Reid was not only unproductive--it was deeply triggering. As…read moresomeone seeking mental health support, I came into the session ready to engage genuinely and openly. However, when I began answering basic questions, Dr Reid abruptly stopped me to say he didn't think I was being "professional." I was stunned. I asked what exactly he meant, and he replied: my tone. Let me be clear--I was calm, respectful, and simply responding to his questions in a way that I genuinely felt was authentic and truthful. If my tone reflected any emotional weight, it's because the questions were triggering, and I was doing my best to be honest--something I thought was not only allowed but appropriate in a mental health setting. Not one of my responses had anything to do with Dr. Reid personally. Instead, his response showed a disturbing lack of empathy and an inability to hold space without personalizing the interaction. When I pointed out that I wasn't being paid to be professional and was instead a client looking for help, I was met with what felt like deflection- He told me since it was the initial consultation, he wasnt getting paid yet either. The interaction left me feeling invalidated and more distressed than before the session. No one is perfect, Mental health professionals are no exception, maybe he was having a bad day? I wish there were a way for mental health practicioners to have the ability to help patients navigate their emotions and most definitely not shame them for how they show up in moments of vulnerability. For whatever reason, Dr. Reid projected his discomfort onto me. Maybe this works for some patients. I would strongly caution others seeking compassionate mental health support to look elsewhere. *** I was threatened after posting this that my appointment was recorded and would be shared if I did not take this post down.
