Dr. Jennifer Wolkin, PHD

I had two scheduled appointments wit Dr. Wolkin, but she never arrived to either. Dr. Wolkin struggled to stick to her schedule and respect my time. Reaching out for mental health help is hard enough, but to feel like she prioritizes other patients over others is a horrible feeling. There were two client emergencies that impacted my scheduled appointment so I was canceled on AFTER the appointment started. I was waiting for her to call or respond asking where she was and 30 minutes later I was told there was another client emergency so she could not see me at our scheduled time, that I confirmed. The irony is patients have to stick to a 24-hr cancelation policy or they have to pay a fee. She apologized afterwards, but those are just words and this happened twice - for our intake session. I needed someone who was reliable and could keep a scheduled appointment (or let me know in advance when they had to cancel). She said she couldn't keep a consistent schedule which was a big red flag.

Hello, Dr. Jen here. It is super hard to be a psychologist and have ratings online. We take an oath to do NO harm. However, for some clients harm is seen through their own filters. For example, for some people, coming to insight can be scary, and often there is anger that’s displaced onto a therapist because it is safer. For some, they have attachment wounds that make relating challenging and if they feel abandoned by a therapist, it is painful. No matter what, you are entitled to all your feelings. They are valid. Ideally therapy is a safe and trusting space, but sometimes it’s hard for people to feel that until they have some more healing under their belt. I’m glad you’re here. Keep going. Also, HIPPA is important and I’d never violate it. However, these reviews are by people from Instagram I’ve never heard of in my life.

Not a good therapist. Do not recommend
