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.

Not what he seems
Does not really analyze or help. He listens but does not come to the root of the problem. He pushes his book by assigning activities in it but then does not review the work you have done. Did not help my marriage at all In fact, we felt we wasted our time and significant money.

I saw Dr O'Grady for a number a years. He's a good therapist and I would recommend him. He let's the patient guide the discussion, and provides valuable insights. Unfortunately, he's decided to stop accepting all insurance.

Dr. O'Grady has a very non-traditional approach (that I would know of). He allows you to just talk to him and guides you through the process with prudent questions and feedback. It is a very relaxing, comfortable environment that yields fantastic results. I have suggested him to family, friends and co-workers for not only specific issues, but just as an open ear. He is the top of his craft.

Dr. O'Grady and his office assistant went out of their way to make me, a nervous first-time client, feel welcome and comfortable. His casual, gentle guiding approach doesn't feel like therapy which is an indication of his true professionalism. At the end of my final session with Dr. O'Grady, I felt that I understood myself much better and had a clear path going forward. His final words to me were that I was always welcome to come back for the same or any new issues that I might encounter.

Very poor. I saw him for more than a year, total waist of time and money. Not interested in helping. Has nothing to offer. Was openly board when I was crying my eyes out about my husband / dying marriage. Lots of promises to keep me coming back, but never delivered.

Dr. O'Grady immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable the very first session. He's surprisingly insightful and truly listens, a rare commodity in many doctors these days. I look forward to my future sessions and I'm confident the doctor/patient relationship will continue to flourish culminating in a succussful outcome in my quest to find "ME" once again.

People have asked me what has helped me so much. I refer them to Dr. O'Grady. I've been seeing him for 20 years now. I got out of depression and I wouldn't have done this without him. He listens to me and didn't interrupt until I quit talking. And then he'll give me a little comment that makes sense to me.

Dr. O'Grady has helped me learn more about myself and how I give and receive communication. He has given me some strategies to better communicate with my husband and resolve and prevent conflicts. He is very easy to talk to and offers objective but compassionate insights as to how to improve the relationships in your life.

Dr. O'Grady can help change your life. He offers an effective, self-centered approach to fulfilling your personal goals, no matter the cost to your relationships with friends and family members, including children. He has developed a great system and sells a lot of books about communication. If you want to get yourself on a personal path to success, he can help you. If you're looking for marriage counseling, I would look elsewhere. Many appts started late/ended early. He seems a bit manipulative

My husband and I started seeing Dr OGrady in 2004 after a difficult relocation. Our visits have spaced out over the years however we continue to see and call him when we need a tune up. His counsel in the beginning was life and marriage saving. He gave us an honest, compassionate view of our situation and helped us define our personal and couple goals in a way no one else ever had. Dr OGrady has a gift and a vision for understanding emotions and relationships. His work has real healing results.

Dr. O'Grady is a thoughtful listener. He has a unigue ability to identify weaknesses and strengths in you to help you communicate better with your spouse, children, family and others. He is straight forward, but supportive in aiding one to get back on their path for a better life with those important to them. I wish I would have contacted him earlier.

I have been a patient of Dr. O’Grady’s for over a year, and he is awesome. I am the type of person who is not inclined to seek professional help, but I was urged to do so by family members. I felt incredibly comfortable even during my first visit with Dr. O’Grady (it helped that I had spoken to him on the phone for a brief consultation earlier that week). He is very easy to talk to (this is not my strength), very compassionate, and very wise.

Dr. O'Grady is a very thoughtful, insightful, and professional psychologist, and is especially helpful for marriage counseling. He does not cut appointments short, tries to be flexible with scheduling, and is really invested in helping the client grow (even if that growth is something difficult). I am grateful I found this office. Highly recommended!
