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.

Best choice I ever made.
I had been struggling with debilitating anxiety and depression when I stumbled upon Dr. Goodman's website. I already had been through several failed attempts with other therapists so I was nervous to reach out to Dr. Goodman. Let me tell you......I am so thankful that I did. She has been such a pivotal part in my healing journey. Struggling with mental health had depleted all my confidence and trust in myself. But the work I did with Dr. Goodman had restored all of that. From the beginning I could tell she was different. She really takes time to get to know you and takes a sincere interest in your treatment. Other therapists would generically tell me the same things and I never felt like they were genuine about my recovery. Dr. Goodman really listened to my fears, desires, needs, etc and catered my treatment specifically to what I needed for myself. She is one of the most kind and compassionate human beings I know and I owe a lot of my will to get better to her. I am forever Grateful

Best therapist
Gabrielle has been so helpful with my mental health. She is flexible with my schedule and offers multiple times to fit my needs. My mental health struggled with the pandemic and I turned to disordered eating patterns.Gabrielle helped with prioritizing my needs, setting boundaries, and managing my stressors. She uses so many strategies and tools to help me move forward. She continues to be a the forefront of new strategies and expresses a true understanding around addictive behavior patterns. She is approachable and understanding. I am so glad I found her and benefit from her care.

Psycho
We had scheduled for first time therapy and had to cancel due to an ER visit, an event outside of our control. We rescheduled for the weekend, drove 50+ miles to get to the appointment, and she wasn't there. She initially profusely apologized for not being there and offered to send gas money. We rescheduled, then when I told her to send 50 dollars for the gas as she had offered earlier, she freaked out on me and started making accusations, canceled last minute on us, and claimed 50 dollars is excessive when she was the one who initially offered to pay for it. I would be VERY cautious about working with a THERAPIST who changes their tone and attitude so quickly. I can't diagnose mental illness myself but I'll just say that an unstable attitude, quickly changing tone, and conflict incitement are not good signs to show for a therapist. She stressed us the F out twice. Proceed with extreme caution.

When I lost my husband to Brain Tumor Cancer, my entire life changed. As I maneuvered my new path without my soulmate, it was apparent I was not ready for the difficulty of the trail. Eventually, it took a toll on me Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually. Like many people, I began an intensive search for an authentic, no BS therapist, that could help me find the tools and resources to incorporate into my life. Dr. Gabriele has been a gift from God for me. She is honest, compassionate, and present during our time together. She has allowed me to bring my Empowerment forward and find my inner strength again. If I had to do it over again, I should have started with Dr. Gabriele in the beginning of my Grief journey. My unsolicited advice, call her, and remember it is a partnership. She cannot help if you do not show up! Do it even if you are scared. You owe this gift of love to yourself
