Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I think that it's Dr Bob's ability to relate. He, like my husband, Ken, had been at Ground Zero on 9/11/2001. His empathy and life experience created connection for me.

Kind and helpful
Dr. Talbot actively listened to my concerns and presented options for how to overcome my obstacles. It was especially helpful when he could relate his experiences to mine, so I felt like he understood my problems.

Thanks, Dr. Bob!
Dr. Bob is a miracle worker. I had been plagued for the longest time by memories dating back to my teenage years. It was very painful. In only two sessions- one to discuss my situation and the other with hypnosis- Dr. Bob was able to clear it up. Using what he described as a timeline, he helped me revisit some of the painful memories and let them go. His technique was gentle, easy and supportive and I was very relaxed. In addition, he is an affable, pleasant and supportive individual. Thanks, Dr. Bob!

Fantastic Gentleman, Helped Me Through a Crisis
I cannot say enough about Dr. Talbot. I had been struggling with a traumatic situation, its impact, and my inability to adapt to a new work environment and routine. When I met with Dr. Talbot, he warmly offered his support and truly listened to my situation and concerns. I felt comfortable expressing myself and sharing my state of mind. He gave me great advice and was there when I needed someone. He connected me with resources and stayed with me to ensure I made those connections. Dr. Talbot was really there for me and I am eternally grateful for his guidance and counsel.

Highly recommended
I have been scared to seek therapy, but after I decided to get the help that I needed. Dr. Bob was truly there! I was going through a very bad breakup, having to juggle many things at once, work and school, finding myself at a very low point in life, feeling lost, and not knowing what to do. During our sessions, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Our sessions were virtual and through the phone. His ability to listen to his clients were excellent. My outcome was very positive and safe to say, I was healed by the end of our session! I’m back to feeling myself and was able to let go the unnecessary obstacles in my life, and move forward. Thank you Dr. Bob for always being there!

A Valuable and Therapeutic Experience
Dr. Bob is a highly skilled professional who sincerely helped me with the treatment of my PTSD and complicated grief. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and insightful and I truly and very highly recommend him. He is an empathetic listener and ensured that I always felt comfortable, heard, and understood. After treatment, I notice that I am sleeping better and able to concentrate more, as I am now more easily able to practice mindfulness. I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to choose him as my trauma therapist.

Doc Bob, is such an easy person to be around. You immediately feel comfortable speaking to him. I found myself at ease during our sessions which made me open up to him immediately.

I changed my direction according to his recommendations and emerged with the modern science-based version of salvation of my mental state. I heartily recommend Dr Talbot. He is able to help with your most difficult even impossible problems.

I had the privilege of conferring with Robert Talbot when I was a Financial Services employee at BNY Mellon. We spoke at length on several occasions. This was during a period while I was working on eating healthy and losing weight through partcipation in a wellness program the Bank sponsored. Dr. Talbot offered wisdom and insight during a challenging time in my career. He showed me how to focus on what had been going well in a career that lasted almost 30 years at the company, and to focus on the positive impact I had in the company and on many colleagues around me. The combination of managing my physical health and mental well being too actually made me stronger and able to deal with changes in my career I could not control. I have stayed in contact with Dr. Talbot over the years and have expressed how grateful I am that I got to derive benefit from his wisdom, experiences and advice. I would highly recommend his services, for anyone who needs the advice of a seasoned professional.

Dr.Talbot helped me get through a difficult period of my life. His thoughtful questions gently guided me to seek answers and gain self awareness needed to transition from a low point of my life to a much happier place. I have seen Dr.Talbot almost every week for approximately 6 months, in that period we have established a relationship built on trust and feeling of acceptance and safety. I would highly recommend seeing him when one is dealing with past trauma, depression or feeling of insecurity. I still keep a tennis ball he allowed me to keep after one of our sessions, and whenever I feel stressed I take it out of the desk drawer and remind myself that I can handle anything. Thank you Dr.Talbot for being there
