• Review from the 2021 Therapist Survey

  June 2021

  During what time span have you seen this therapist? Starting in Nov 2020 Type of therapist: psychologist What kind of patients does this therapist see? Adults (individual therapy), Couples If the therapist treats any special kinds of issues or uses specific therapeutic techniques, please list/describe those here. psychodynamic psychotherapy -- this is a key difference from many practitioners because it's the opposite of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) In-person, Zoom, or telephone therapy? Zoom/Video therapy Briefly describe the reasons you decided to seek help: couples counseling that involved topics including anger management, drug and alcohol addiction, and managing certain known mental health matters differently Does the therapist take insurance, and if not, how has your experience been with filing claims? Frank does not take insurance. We handled all claims paperwork ourselves. Frank invoices us monthly. Review: Frank was able to navigate serious problems we were facing in our marriage that had festered while in treatment with FOUR other therapists of varying levels of expertise. Nobody else used psychodynamic psychotherapy with us before Frank. This is the idea that what we experience growing up shapes our personality to a significant degree. The approach is definitely not for everyone and brings up a lot of past trauma and makes you really sit with it. But it was a defining breakthrough in healing our marriage and understanding each other better.
