Alan J. Lipman, PhD JD

Dr. Lipman is by far the best therapist I have ever had. I had 3 therapists before Dr. Lipman-​two individual therapists (one in freshman year of college, the other in my late very early 30s) and one couples therapist (three years into our marriage). All of them did the usual thing-​much silence, little help, little understanding.
Dr. Lipman is truly distinct-​he understands, he cares, and he acts to help. We came with several couples issues after 6 years of our marriage. He was a godsend. His experience and command of the field is immense.
I did not think that someone of his prominence and renown would be so down to Earth. But he quickly understood the issues fully and accurately (unlike some of therapists I had experienced in the past, he did not simply impose some cookie cutter, categorical idea onto out situations-​he really understood), and then worked to help us actually resolve those problems.
He is warm, intelligent-​I would say brilliant, as would my wife-​and brings extraordinary experience to the situation. We are so grateful that we found him. We talk about the work frequently-​how our life has changed as a result of it, and just how far we’ve come, and were just talking over breakfast this morning about how much he helped us. I’ve never « Unilocaled» before, and am not someone who usually review things, but Dr. Lipman moved me to write, where nothing else has. If you can get in, get him.
