Dr. Irene Fruchtbaum, PHD

This woman is not good at relationship support. She cold called me on a Friday night to invite me into therapy with my mother who I have not spoken to in a long time. This triggered me intensely, as she had not bothered to learn anything about me or my family or the issues she was was bringing up. She said all the wrong things because she brought up people in my family without knowing them or our dynamics. Outrageous and irresponsible. She contributed to damaging my family more and ruined my summer. She noticed that I was so triggered, said she would send referrals to help, and never spoke or wrote me again.

Dr. Fruchtbaum has holistic approach to therapy. She not only uses traditional methods but also recommends herbal alternatives for treatment. In the past years, she has recommended books, diets, supplements, meditation etc. She tries to convince if there is need to take medicine in contrast to other therapists who require that you are on medicine before they see you. Highly recommended.

I was searching to find a good therapist who is knowledgeable and experienced in working with cognitive behavior modification specifically in treating patients with strong anxiety and panic attacks that put my driving ability on hold, and all the distress and unsettled feelings and emotions that comes with it . Glad I found Dr. Irene! She has helped me to navigate through the whole process, educating me step by step, teaching me on how to built strength in facing the anxiety ,identifying the objective reality from subjective fear and ultimately helped me to start working on as we called it during sessions" the work on rewiring my brain" so it will process the information differently, in such a way that you will gain positive outcome , will be more functional human being and put your life back on track.

Dr Fruchtbaum helped me so much this year. I understand myself and I am finding some peace of mind now!

If you are looking for a therapist who has a great deal of knowledge combined with a sincere desire to help you, Dr. Fruchtbaum is who you are looking for. She listens to what you say and remembers everything! I have never felt so comfortable and cared about by a therapist. She takes her work very seriously and works hard to help you. Thank you, Dr. Fruchtbaum.

I was considering divorce and decided to see Dr. Fruchtbaum to figure out how not to make the same mistakes again in a future relationship. I wanted to know how I was contributing to this failing marriage. Its important to have a good psychologist to get good guidance. My wife and I had gone to another psychologist and that experience was bad because the counseling was bad. Dr. Fruchtbaum is excellent because she is; 1) incredibly intelligent, 2) an expert in psychology, 3) remembers the details that are important to you, 4) has an easy manner that encourages discussion, 5) is kind and caring. I’ve recommended her to my friends and family. I'm still married.

I was a patient of Dr. Fruchtbaum and recommend her to my friends and family along with any other person seeking exceptional treatment for psychological issues, including pressing or persistent problems like those she treated me for. She was able to determine the issues leading to my anxiety and depression, leaving me with tools to mediate these troubles without wasting my time or hers. She is kind, considerate and able to gain my trust as a partner in treatment. Please see her. Charles R.

Love Dr. Fruchtbaum. Had seen several psychologists before her but none had anywhere near her drive and dedication to help me with my issues. 5/5
