Dr. D'Arienzo was very insightful in identifying the issues from which I suffer. He was incredibly helpful in providing me with the tools and coping techniques necessary for me to overcome the struggles I face. He's the best!
My son and I have seen Dr Sanchack once in a while. She is everything we had been hoping for in a psychologist. She is kind, polite, a good listener with a gentle demeanor and a lot of empathy. She even emails to check in and responds when you send her a message. A friend of mine had taken her son and he loved her too. We can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.
Took my premarital course with D'Arienzo and all the experience was great, valuable information and very easy to understand. Thank you.
