Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have worked with Alan on and off for a decade. He is tirelessly compassionate and caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.

Alan is a very well educated very experienced psychologist. I saw him for three years around 2000 when I was having serious relationship and family problems. He listened and was extremely empathetic. He gave me good advice which gradually pulled me out of my depression. Fast forward to 2020. I was fortunate enough to reestablish contact with Alan, although he is not accepting new patients. He is helping me deal with the aging process, and has helped relieve the anxieties of aging, dealing with adult children, and the stresses of a running a business versus retirement for which I am not prepared nor want. He has been very patient and supportive.

Saw Alan many years ago. Changed my perception on how to respond to "life". Very compassionate, good listener, and very perceptive. I often think how lucky I was to have him as a therapist.
