Gersten Pnina Mfcc

I was just looking up a spa when I came across a negative review about Pnina Gersten. I was shocked. Ms. Gersten is an outstanding psychotherapist and is highly recommended in our community. Two years ago, our family went through a crisis. We went to several therapist who basically were unable to help us. Our family doctor referred Pnina to us and she was able to help us make sense of the underlying issues. She has an icredible manner with kids and works miracles with marriages who are in desperate need of help. We have referred several of our friends to her and everyone has raved about her work. This woman is most wise, empathetic, and available around the clock in case of emergency or crisis. She is direct and very supportive all at the same time. I highly recommend her. Pros: Honest, straighforward, empathetic, kind and great with kids Cons: Due to her full practice, appointments must be made a few weeks in advance more

My wife and I struggled for years with our marriage. We saw numerous therapists and nothing changed. When we spoke about divorce our family physician recommended we see Pnina in a final attempt to save our marriage. Thankfully we took his advice. After the first session we walked away knowing more about our family dynamics then we had ever known. She taught us to really listen and understand each other and to appreciate our differences rather than argue about them. She also helped us understand that men and women are different and how to accept and appreciate those differences. She was our last stop at working at saving our marriage and she did much more. She changed our life and family. Pros: intuitive, understands relationships and very bright more
