Highview Center

“We met Sandy Kaplan here to discuss our marriage issues, steming from my husband's undiagnosed mental condition (BPD). She helped us work through a lot of concerns that he had and a few of mine, since I didn't see the small concerns or issues as problems the same way he did. It took a few years along with my husband receiving his own therapy and getting the proper medication from his primary care doctor to find the right balance for him. However, she was there the whole time to help us understand each other's perspective and work through it. Couples counseling is a challenge because you have to be willing to be vulnerable and open to the idea that you are wrong, not for your own feelings, but for how someone else feels about something. No one can decide that for someone else. Sandy is no longer at Highview but while she was there, it was amazing to work with her.”

“My mother forced my sister and I to come here when we were kids to try to “mend our relationship” with her or something like that, but in actuality all she wanted was validation for her mistreatment towards us. Susan Berger was more than happy to provide that for her and did absolutely nothing to improve the situation between us and our mother. I remember being mocked by her and my mother with sarcastic comments while sitting in her office expressing my concerns with my mother’s behavior, and basically being told that everything my mother did was ok since she is my parent. The only thing that came out of our sessions was more damage to our relationship and trauma for me, and my mother feeling like she was on top of the world for paying someone else to tell me I was being dramatic. My sister has her own stories she could share about Susan Berger as well, and they’re not pleasant either. She does not address actual concerns and will always take the parents’ side since they’re the ones sliding her the money. Me and my sister are now both in low contact with our mother since she was never encouraged to see the wrongness of her actions, and she simply became too unhealthy to continue being around. I’m sure she still sees Susan just so she can be told that her children are evil and to feed her narcissistic ego. Thanks for nothing Susan Berger.”

“I’d like to take a minute to leave a review. It’s taken me years to find someone I connect with and who listens. I’ve struggled with severe anxiety for over 25 years and have never met someone as kind and real as Mellisa. Even the receptionists are humble and sweet. If you are like me and have nearly given up on mental help I urge you to give this place a chance. Only YOU can take the leap to get help. You won’t regret it. Mellisa, thank you for listening to me. Thank you for not judging me. Thank you for giving me hope. Most of all, thank you for making me feel welcome and safe in your office. ❤️ Laicee”

“Dr. Basil is one of the most amazing therapist. He is so caring and understanding. He has helped our family for years. I thank God he was always there for us.”
