Best

Our primary physician referred me to Pnina. I was having anxiety and my marriage was falling apart. My wife and I decided to go in as a couple. It was the best thing we could have...

Worst

She is a good therapist - if she is not seeing \r all of your friends and family. Then she breaks\r confidences. Pros: kind, intuitive Cons: cant keep confidences

Just call the local schools and find out how many kids families were helped 7/27/2013

I was just looking up a spa when I came across a negative review about Pnina Gersten. I was shocked. Ms. Gersten is an outstanding psychotherapist and is highly recommended in our community. Two years ago, our family went through a crisis. We went to several therapist who basically were unable to help us. Our family doctor referred Pnina to us and she was able to help us make sense of the underlying issues. She has an icredible manner with kids and works miracles with marriages who are in desperate need of help. We have referred several of our friends to her and everyone has raved about her work. This woman is most wise, empathetic, and available around the clock in case of emergency or crisis. She is direct and very supportive all at the same time. I highly recommend her. Pros: Honest, straighforward, empathetic, kind and great with kids Cons: Due to her full practice, appointments must be made a few weeks in advance more

Editorial review from Citysearch 6/6/2013

Run far away, as fast as possible! Incredibly inappropriate, breaks confidentiality, shows favoritism in family/couple sessions. Knows no boundaries! more

Angry and hopeless no more 11/22/2009

My wife and I struggled for years with our marriage. We saw numerous therapists and nothing changed. When we spoke about divorce our family physician recommended we see Pnina in a final attempt to save our marriage. Thankfully we took his advice. After the first session we walked away knowing more about our family dynamics then we had ever known. She taught us to really listen and understand each other and to appreciate our differences rather than argue about them. She also helped us understand that men and women are different and how to accept and appreciate those differences. She was our last stop at working at saving our marriage and she did much more. She changed our life and family. Pros: intuitive, understands relationships and very bright more

incredible with relationship issues, parenting skills and child development 4/30/2008

Six months prior to our getting married we decided to seek premarital counseling. Our family physician recommended Pnina. Working with this extremely intuitive, gentle yet straight forward woman has been a gift. She has given us the tools to have a long lasting healthy and exceptional marriage. We just had our first child and decided to return for a tune up with Pnina. Her wisdom and knowledge about child development and the process of becoming parents has been enlightening beyond our expectations. This is an amazing therapist who has an amazing ability to read people and help them discover their needs, allowing to open the door for a wonderful and fully functional family system. We highly recommend her. Pros: three thumbs up Cons: she is fully booked so must be flexible if you want an appointment. She will accomodate if need be more

Simple, direct, and incredibly intuitive, will guide you to a happier life and relationship 8/27/2007

Pnina was our 6 attempt at couple counseling and the one that finally saved us. With a keen sensitivity and intuitiveness, this woman taught us how to empower ourselves and consequently each other. After many years of struggling in our marriage, Pnina helped us save our family. She is kind, honest and let you know in a direct and kind manner what changes need ed to take place. What is most impressive about this woman is her incredible intuitivitness and her ability to accurately read between the lines.\r Her directness is constructive and very gentle. She says it as it is but also supports you while she is saying it, reminding us that change can only happen when we acknowledge the truth about our shortcomings.\r \r Her tools have changed our life forever and our children's life. We would highly recommend her.\r Pros: A life changer and amazing with teens and is always available if you need her by phone. Cons: She is booked solid so need to be flexable or be ready to wait. She will sqeeze in emergencies. more

A life changing experience that gave us the tools to love ourselves, remember how we love each other and our marriage. 7/24/2007

With wisdom, kindness and understanding Pnina taught us how to work through the sometimes difficult periods in our marriage. She normalized issues and reminded us why we loved one another. We tried several marriage therapies. Pnina was able to help us understand what we do that hurts our marriage without taking sides. She empowered us and taught us how that translated into a wonderful relationship with one another and our children.\r \r She is intuitive, bright, honest and staight forward. Was amazing when needed for emergency intervention and extremely reliable and professional. I would urge anyone who really wants to change to contact her.\r You may have to wait for an appointment as she is fully booked but she is worth waiting for. Note, if you need to see her immediately and state it is an emergency she will go out of her way to accomodate the situation. Pros: Thumps up, extremely intuitive and wise and easy (free) parking. more

Wise, empathetic and most important, you will get results 7/1/2007

Pnina Gersten has been an amazing guiding light in my life. I have referred several people over the years to her and all have felt the same way. The fact that her practice is usually full is a testiment to her talent.\r I highly recommend her. Pros: thumps up Cons: only drawback is she is full so it is hard to get in unless you set appointment in advance more

Changed my life 6/30/2007

After searching for years for the answer, this is the first therapist who had the courage and empowered me to change. Pros: Everything more
