Hello. I feel I need to respond to this fictional review that was recently posted by someone named Jane Smith. This person does not exist and whoever she (or he) may be probably could use the help of a good therapist:) Wishing everyone the best of health.

STAY AWAY. Howard is the absolute worst, most insensitive, downright detrimental therapist I have ever been to. When I would have an eloquent insight, hed write it down and say, Oooh Im stealing that, sorry I wont be able to pay you a royalty! When I expressed that I was struggling with suicide ideation, he LITERALLY LAUGHED AT ME. Not sure if he still has a dog, but he would regularly interrupt our session to reprimand the dog, which was a constant distraction. I cannot emphasize enough how much you should steer clear of this horrible man. He should not be entrusted with a fruit
