Tina, NYC (Psychiatric Provider)

Working with Janine has been nothing short of exceptional. She is truly one of a kind; professional, compassionate, and reliable. In every interaction, she brings a presence that makes both clients and colleagues feel supported and understood.
What makes her stand out is the way she goes above and beyond for her patients, ensuring they feel supported and genuinely cared for. Her dedication to their well-being is unmatched. She never disappoints; whether it’s her clinical insight, her collaborative approach, or her ability to handle challenging situations with grace and clarity. She brings heart and excellent into everything she does.
I’ve seen firsthand how her unique combination of expertise and warmth makes a meaningful impact on the clients she works with. She’s a rare gem in the field and any client would be fortunate to work with her.”
Chelsea, NYC

Janine has been the most spectacular therapist. She’s always provided a safe and open space for me to speak my thoughts.

I have made leaps and bounds in my progress in my work with her. I would recommend anyone to try therapy with her. She has helped me so much. I’m constantly astounded by how much better my life has gotten since I’ve started working with her.
Diana, NYC

Working with Natalie has been a very meaningful experience. She made me feel understood and helped me learn what self-validation truly means, that my emotions matter and what I feel is real. I came in with a lot of anxiety, ruminations, and compulsive thoughts and behaviors. At first, I sometimes worried about what I should prepare or say in a session, but I quickly realized that I didn’t need to. Natalie taught me the importance of being present in the here and now, and through that I’ve gained real skills to bring myself back, regulate, and find balance. It was always easy to be in the room with her, and I felt safe and supported as I worked through difficult emotions.
P & R, NYC

Janine was our couples therapist during a very rough period in our marriage. We had seen two couples therapists and didn’t feel like it helped. Our time with Janine brought us back from what felt like a point of no return. We are really grateful to have found her.
