Jack Tanenbaum, LCSW

I saw Jack years ago, during a traumatic childhood. He was calming, during a turbulent period of my life. I have not forgotten what he did for me. He was wonderful when I had nowhere else to turn.

Jack is a kind, skilled therapist who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to help his patients. I see him primarily for severe PTSD and Bipolar 2 Disorder. I have been severely depressed and if it weren’t for Jack and my psychiatrist, I’d be dead already. He continues to be here for me, sitting with me in the depression and the fear, and gently challenging my faulty, self-harming thoughts and cognitive distortions. He accepts me as I am, unconditionally yet encourages me to grow and get healthier.

Unfortunately, I found Jack to be a bit of a flake. After requesting a second appointment, his response was to ask for my billing information, but never offered me any appointment times.

I initially came to Jack for some body image issues and how they also related to my marriage. After a few session, only, I discovered epiphanies that I was not able to solve on my own for 8 years! I harbored these thoughts and feelings for that long. I am a much more confident person now, have a healthier marriage, and improved body image because of my work Jack.

We saw Jack for marriage counseling, he was not really helpful to us at all. You could tell he was trying to be patient, and let us figure out stuff. Unfortunately, if we could have figured out how to solve our problems- we would have. We went to Jack for help. By the end of our time with him, after several months, he was visibly agitated and finally asked us Why are you even married!? That was pretty much my final straw with him. We sought help elsewhere, and had much better results.

There's really no one like Jack. Forty years experience...Calmly walks you through everything. A consumate professional in every way. Gentle, compassionate, patient. Wise and healing nature. Wish I would have known about him hears ago! Seeing him for PTSD and grief counseling...He's just the best.

Jack doesn't try to fix a person's issues...he carefully and gently educates his patient on the steps he / she can take to lift themselves out of their challenges. He asks the most insightful and thought-provoking questions...questions that keep me thinking and working on my own issues long after each visit with Jack has ended. If you want someone to GIVE YOU answers, look elsewhere. Jack recognizes that progress requires hard work and thought; he serves as the patient's guide to wholeness.
