Bashkoff Jacqueline PHD

Please... Look at the ""JUSTICE FOR CADENCIA"" page here on Facebook and spread the word to help save this innocent child from this corrupt Judge! \r \r Seriously, where is the sanity in Judge Jennifer Jensen placing a six year old in the care and custody of a drug addict that needs 24 hour supervision 7 days a week. To top it off, the supervisors are people that have been documented as enablers to his addictions by Judge Hall. Yet Judge Jensen ordered this innocent little girl into a situation like that yesterday morning and should be held accountable for neglect of a child as well as endangering the welfare of a child!!! more

I agree with Gordon F., Thomas B., Denise P., and Arthur S.! Dr. Bashkoff was extremely helpful to me! I highly recommend her to anyone who might be in need! Definitely two thumbs up! Thank you SO MUCH, Dr. B! =) more

I have been meeting with Dr.Bashkoff for several months and feel that she has been highly effective and instrumental in helping me to deal with the recent death of my son. As I read some of the negative comments, I question why people continued to meet with her if they had such, according to their comments, horrific experiences. I found Dr. Bashkoff to be highly professional and insightful as she has guided me through the grieving process. How many of the malcontents were court required or mandated to attend sessions by family members???? I highly recommend Dr. Bashkoff and encourage others to not believe EVERYTHING that is written. Some people have difficulty hearing the truth. If for whatever reason a theraputic relationship is not established, then you should seek another professional, but I can tell you she has my highest recommendation. more

I saw Dr. B for quite some time and left. If you are thinking about seeing this therapist, have a look at the ""bipolar"" nature of her reviews. That should tell you something. I am not surprised some people actually liked her manner and I suspect they did not see her for an extended period of time. It is quite possible that she did not show them any sharpness or rudeness or hostility as she did to others. To me, she did all of the things the other reviewers said in my sessions- ate (I am a recovering bulimic), did her lipstick, was not listening, etc. but there were times she was very different and so I kept going. She is definitely not a consistent person and I did NOT like the way she talked about other people or the offensive language she used (and I don't mean swearing). She was flippant and disrespectful in the way she talked about others. She did not exhibit tolerance or respect. I left because, after seeing another therapist, I came to understand that I was acting out my own history with my narcissistic mother through her behavior. I saw her have a very strange episode in one of my sessions that made it clear to me that she has her own mental health issues. I don't recommend her to anyone who is somewhat fragile- you could very well end up angry, quite confused, and running to another therapist to find out what just happened. Not an uncommon scenario with this therapist. more

Attentive, experienced, and professional are the best words to describe my experiences with Dr. Bashkoff. Throughout my therapy sessions, Dr. Bashkoff helped me identify my issues, work through them, and become a better person. She motivated me to takes the necessary steps in my life to make the changes needed and now I am a better person because of it. She gets right to the point, no nonsense. Each session helped me work through my issues in a straight forward manner, leaving me with a clear vision and understanding of what I was going through. I am forever thankful and glad to have met Dr. Bashkoff. more

I usually do not bother with writing reviews or give advice as to what provider anyone should use but I felt that need to write this one. I was referred to Dr. Bashkoff and I looked her up because I had no idea what I was looking for in a therapist, because I never needed one. I overlooked some of the reviews and decided to go and meet the dr as she was recommended by my own primary care physician. I am so glad I took the chance. She guided me though the worse time of my life. She helped me understand why these things in my life were happening and gave me understanding, guidance, and direction as to how to fix my problem and move on. I still see her today. Do yourself a favor, do not listen to everything you read. more

I was assigned Dr. Bashkoff in court. She did a comprehensive job and understood years of conflict brought on by my ex. I will be forever grateful. Thank you more

Dear ""Dr"" Bashkoff,\r You have ruined my friend's life with your biased, ignorant, un-therapeutic, cavalier and generally clueless ""treatment."" Did you buy your PhD online or go to some unaccredited school in the West Indies? You need a real degree and to get some sense of humanity. more

This incompetent fool was court assigned to my custody case in my divorce, and as in a lot of the reviews above, ate, drank tea, generally didn't pay attention to what was going on, who we were, just sort of ghost wrote her way jadedly through her job. \r \r It is unbelieveable that this person is allowed to practice, let alone be court assigned to handle such evaluations, and when i raised an objection to that and requested the next doctor on the list, it was denied, because my objection was based on the reviews that I saw here. I have been wrongfully seperated from my child for going on a year now, and when i called the number to file a report of complaint on the ""doctor"", I got the ""doctor"" herself, giving me a bunch of crap. \r \r If you are going through a divorce, and get this person assigned to you for your case IMMEDATELY request another evaluator, because this quack couldnt evaluate a dog show, let alone determine your child's future. more

I saw the good doctor (cough, cough) many years ago as a bulimic who was significantly depressed and had an history of suicidal ideation. My boyfriend arrived at the first appointment early and she spoke with him first. In less than five minutes, Baskoff insulted him for not “doing enough with his college degree,” and arguing with his reasons for wanting me to get better, and essentially invalidated and emasculated him. He so badly wanted me to get better that he didn't even tell me how disgusted he was by Baskoff's behavior for quite some time. During approximately 15-20 appointments, she wasn't often late, she fixed her makeup, didn't take notes, daydreamed, touched up her nails, drew pictures, doodled and ate. She ate in front of a bulimic-Repeatedly! This wasn't any type of immersion therapy or CBT—It was just horrible and ignorant behavior. I had been hospitalized on several occasions for low potassium, stomach problems, anemia, and seizures prior to and during my time with Bashkoff. My father, boyfriend and even I requested admission to Four Winds and she stated on several occasions that I wasn't that sick, that thin, that severe, etc., and hence, she wouldn't refer me. Then I had a heart attack because of my low potassium, went to Four Winds, got the help I needed and after 18 years of active bulimia, I am now a healthy, married psychiatric nurse and clinical psychotherapist. If you or someone you love is being treated by Bashkoff, find another doctor. It will be the best thing you ever do. more

The absolute worst experience I have ever had.....She never listened to a word I said and was on her damn phone the whole time. What a waste of money....She hates men and makes that very clear....Save your money....see a bartender instead more

If you want to waste your time with psychobabble and ""feel good"" advice, don't bother seeing Dr. Bashkoff. If you want practical advice and are ready to do some work and make some decisions to improve your life, this is who you want to see. Think your relationship isn't working? Be ready to fix it, or be ready to break up. There is no languishing is a pity-party with Dr. Bashkoff. She cuts right to the chase, and does not waste your time or your money. The best. more

She is a waste of time. She listens sometimes, but for the most part, it is obvious that she is thinking about other things. All I can say is that this woman says and does things that are not theraputic and inappropriate. Not good. It's like going to the hardware store for oranges- you're just not going to find it there. But you will see a ""fashion show"" if you go a couple of times. more

I saw Dr. Bashkoff and could not believe how she was not really listening to me. She minimized what I told her, looked off into the distance, was really concerned with her appearance even during a session, doodled and did her make-up! What therapist does that? She seemed smart, but lacked insight- she took things in a very superficial way. Honestly, she seems burnt out and has a hostile and angry streak and can be insensitively confrontational (and has been so off the mark about her conclusions). Its as if she would rather just have a nice chat than be your therapist. So, if you are looking to pay a pal for a 40 minute chat, go ahead. If you need a therapist, look elsewhere- you have been warned! more

Great psychologist. Listens. Goes the extra mile. Returns all phone calls. more

I originally went to see Dr. Bashkoff because it was mandatory. I now see her regularly because she is the kindest, most intelligent and sincere doctor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting with. I owe so much to her and credit so much of my mental health to her work. more

I was going through a rough time in my life and Dr. Bashkoff was instrumental in helping me sort things out. She was professional and made me feel comfortable. I looked forward to our sessions and recommend her to anyone who was in my previous situation. more

This woman sucks. I had to go with this woman for a year. She was mean and rude. She tried to convince me to visit my clinically insane abusive mother. I was 15 when I saw her and she listened to nothing I said nor did she take into consideration anything i wanted when talking to the judge in my parents divorce. I often had to tel her things over and over because she obviously wasn't smart enough to take notes the first few times I talked to her. She is oblivious to things that are very clear. She is two faced and will tell you what you want to hear when with her then go and do whatever she wants. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TAKE YOUR DOG TO THIS WOMAN LET ALONE YOURSELF OR YOUR LOVED ONES. She made my life hell and was everything you don't want in a therapist. Her Phd is a joke. more

I went to Jacqueline for just under a year. At fist she seemed pretty good. I didn't like that she doodled during my sessions. After a couple of months I noticed that I had to tell her things over and over. She offered little to no advice. The sessions were not connected at all and did not seem to have any progression. I felt like she was just going through the motions. She was also late often. So I stopped going to see her. Cons: didn't pay attention session to session more

many moons ago I was associated with Dr Bashkoff who was not only instrumental in making a transition with my son who my ex up and left with BUT she had to re-program him into know that im his real dad and step dad was not. Although one can only do so much and when the ex wife is not only unwilling but can continue the barrage of anti DAD brainwashing 24/7 its hard to deprogram a child with only one hour each week. As for the NOT PROFESSIONAL post? one also has to wonder HOW can someone visit the Dr. Twice and come up with only ONE description of discontent? did she do her nails TWICE or did she do her nails ONCE then open mail on the second visit? ALSO before anyone reads these POSTS keep in mind that they may be written by patients who are there for other social disorders and I have known many who say that their doctors are horrible who also think the waiter at the restaurant, neighbors, friends and relatives are as well. SO dont judge a review by a patient. Does this apply to ME TO being im posting? NO I was not a patient, my 5 year old son was who was lead to the dark side by my EX better (bitter) half. That's all I have to say about that. Pros: Very helpful Cons: the outcome more
