Karen Terese Kewak, NCC

Terese has been a guiding light for me during my protracted (5 years) benzo withdrawal issues including: clinical depression, acute insomnia, and the resulting loss of the most significant long term personal relationship of my life (28 years). While under her care I was also being treated by a psychiatrist (and psychopharmacologist). But without Terese’s expert guidance and support I doubt I would have ever found my way out of that dismal benzo WD swamp. She was always available, day or night, always generous with her time, and spot-on with her insights and advise. She is a warm and gifted therapist. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been a patient of Mrs.Kewak for several years now. She always has a bright smile, is professional and manages to help me through situations that seem overwhelming. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a therapist.

No empathy. Either hammered at me that I needed to tell her what to do for me (if I could diagnose myself, I wouldn't need a therapist) or when I tried to explain me circumstances, she didn't let me get to the second point I was trying to explain in giving a picture of my life before she demanded I make changes to the first one. Doesn't listen. Displays no empathy. Frankly, not nice.

My husband & I saw her a few times for marriage counseling. I felt like she was not really hearing our issues as a couple. At one point she told me "we are here for your husband, not you" We never returned!

Fell like I wasted a lot of time and money. She was never available for future appointments.

Terese was the 4th therapist that I visited and the only one to make any real progess to help overcome my panic disorder and PTSD. She is very knowledgeable about her field and helps me understand things very clearly. She is always willing to reschedule if needed and let's me know of cancellations if I feel the need to be seen sooner than my appointment. I have direct contact with her at a moments notice if I'm having an episode and I can't thank her enough fo helping me get my life back!
