John Madonna Jr, EDD

I have seen Dr. M for 6 years. He helped change my life and is very trustworthy. I’d reccommend him to anyone that has experienced trauma in their lives.

He was a decent psychologist. He made some mistakes along the way which he admitted to. I saw him for five years but have since discontinued my treatment. In some ways I really didn't feel like we got to the root of the issue.

DR. MADONNA ADMITS I WAS ONE OF HIS "FAILURES". DO I GET MY MONEY BACK ? NO. IT WAS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL. NO INPUT WHAT SO EVER. I COULD STAY HOME TO TALK TO A WALL. REALLY 33 YEARS, TALK ABOUT DEPENDENCY ISSUES. IT PAID FOR ALL 5 OF HIS HOUSES. ALL SUCH A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

I was a patient of Dr Madonna for 33 years. Not once did he ever not respond professionally. Without exaggeration, he helped me to save my life and proceed to have a”life”. Did we have some disagreements over the years, absolutely! If you’re wondering why so long in treatment, the goals changed, the nature of the contact changed. In this era of quick fixes or pill solutions, therapists like Dr. Madonna are going the way of dinosaurs, fast becoming extinct. Unfortunately, this fact is a great loss to anyone who needs the assistance of a therapist who is willing to do the hard work of being emotionally present despite how painful and demanding that can be.

I was in therapy with him once a week for more than three years. He is trustworthy and first-rate. He deters patients from all kinds of chemical dependency, suspends diagnostic manual dependency himself, and works with the person in light of their psychosocial context

I have never felt so mentally violated by any health care professional I have ever dealt with. Not only was his fact finding mission way off with regards to his findings but it was clearly evident that he was working for the entity paying him. This doctor was given permission to call a therapist I have been working with on my personal growth for many years. Not only did he choose not to call him but the recommendations he set based on his findings created even more hardship.
