Sangeeta Ramchandani

I’ve been seeing Sangeeta for almost 2 years, during the latter half of college and into my early adult years. She is a great therapist who has helped me grow my self esteem and work on my codependency and boundaries. Many of these negative reviews mention finances- of course a therapist needs to make boundaries clear regarding finances and payment. It is her job. Yes, she can interject at times, but isn’t the point of therapy to have professional feedback?? She has given me wonderful tools. I have never seen her look at her watch during our session like some have stated. She has been very flexible with me throughout our time and I consider her very caring and empathetic, while also having professional boundaries. As someone who has had therapists that don’t uphold boundaries, I really appreciate this about her. I don’t think it is fair to leave a flippant negative review after one session, just because it wasn’t a good fit for a specific person. She is the best therapist I’ve had!!!

I think most bad reviews on this page are for a reason. Overall, Sangeeta insisted that I decide with her and kept pressing me to do that before she even gave me 1 slot. She kept asking me if I am seeing other therapists and insisted that I decide on one, it’s hard to know if a therapist works for you without seeing them at least a couple of times. She also mentioned that the insurance won’t approve multiple therapists, which is false(I called the insurance and they had no problems with that). I had to follow up multiple times to get us started, finally she sent me the forms and insisted she will give me a slot only after I fill the form, this seemed reasonable, I was late by a couple of days to submit the form as I was sick, she then told me she can’t accept me as she assumed I have decided to go ahead with other therapists. When one decided to see a therapist they are vulnerable, I don’t think this treatment helps them, please find another therapist.

3.5 Average I have to agree with all the comments here to some extent. Mix of some good and some bad.

I’ve been with Sangeeta for over a year and 8 months. My experience has been truly incredible and I will continue to go to her for the foreseeable future. Since my time with her, I have seen a major improvement in my self-esteem, confidence and overall happiness. She has patience with me and has a lot of compassion. The other reviews mention the financial aspect of Sangeeta. I don’t think those individuals made it past the first meeting. Of course, we need to discuss pay up front, but by no means does she appear to be a money hungry therapist. Just the fact she accepts insurance should be enough of an indicator of that. I believe her price to be very fair, especially for what I get out of our sessions. Overall, Sangeeta has been an incredibly positive influence in my life. She tells it as it is and that can be hard to hear sometimes, but it always comes from a place of compassion as she wants me to grow and be successful. Thank you for everything you do! -Ryan

I feel bad about a strong bad review, but for people who are already struggling from depression, they should not have to go through such an experience. Therapy is good. She made me feel bad about taking that session. I have to tell you that she is horrible at listening. I don't know how she is allowed to be a therapist. She shows NO empathy for someone's problems or tears. Like other patients pointed out, she cares about money and every minute of the clock ticking. I went to her when I was at my lowest point, thinking that she is Indian american so she will better understand my context. It was my first therapy session ever. After her session I have taken two other therapy sessions with others so now I have a reference point to compare and leave this review.

The negative reviews seem to be off of a handful of sessions. Like most visits to a healthcare professional, she asks for the co-pay first and has to go through insurance first during the intake session, but during sessions I've found her to be very helpful and effective.

I don't agree with the negative reviews and comments. They are rude and not well thought out. I've been going to Sangeeta for over two years and she is a good listener. She does stop the conversation to interject and give her thoughts but isn't that her job? Also on the insurance front, I've never had issues with her. Yes, I need to pay on a timely manner but that is a reasonable expectation. I recommend her as a therapist. End of the day, she needs to do her job. And she does it effectively.

She is not a good listener and cares more about the money. In the session she keeps worrying about the time and keeps looking at the watch.

I wanted to have a therapy session with her but when she called me for an initial 15 min interview, she sounded like she only cares about her getting paid. Most of the the time in that 15min conversation was is my insurance covering, how much is my copay, am I okay paying my copay, cancellation won't be covered by insurance, if insurance doesn't pay in 30 days I'd have to pay etc. I definitely didn't feel like she wants to help me out so I didn't schedule the appointment.
