He was divisive and deceptive. He also stated incorrect quotes and when corrected he lashed out. Very unprofessional.

Dr. Gaylinn has helped me overcome many stressful issues in my life. Without him I would be very different place.

I would recommend him, I feel comfortable when I was talking to him.

Dan is a great therapist. He listens and provides insight while also letting me come to my own conclusions rather than simply telling me what to do. I look forward to our sessions each week and highly recommend him to my friends and family.
April 12, 2024Celina R.Verified patient
Dan is fantastic, very calm and empathetic, active listener, and attentive. He keeps track of our conversations over time and within the appointment, helps keep things grounded, directed, and productive. I have experienced many therapists, he is the best therapist I’ve had in over a decade.

Excellent
May 2, 2023Alexandra C.Verified patient
I was unsure prior to apt of what to expect regarding my set appointment but was quite pleased to find that he’s very knowledgeable and is capable of educating you on behavioral management regarding patterns and behaviors I have. He is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a therapist and i rarely find what I’m looking for in other therapists I’ve seen. They just don’t have the drive and knowledge some folks but this one has it.
February 15, 2023Cozette W.Verified patient
Daniel is fantastic, great sessions and very attentive. Provider had recall from details of previous sessions and how they applied. Daniel speaks from a place of empathy and is very calm and reassuring. They ask tangible questions and gives great feedback and ideas to consider. I plan to continue to see Daniel as my provider. Thank you for great sessions!
September 28, 2022Tim S.Verified patient
Spouted his gender essentialist opinions during one of our first meetings, saying "men are more wired for analytical thinking, and women are wired for emotional intelligence" when I discussed some frustrations with my job. Clearly not up to date with current clinical psychology research, and seems personally invested in maintaining the historical myth of female mental inadequacy.

The best of the best. Have seen 5 others and Dan is the best. Have recommended Dan to many people. My work with Dan has easily resulted in the single largest quality of life improvement of my adult life.

Dr. Gaylinn has an excellent conversational tone that makes discussing complex issues efficient and revealing. I find our discussions to be fruitful and and have gained new insights into my own self.
Zach P.Verified patient
He looked a bit bored half the time when he was listening, and the therapy session wasn't remotely helpful at all. He also indicated that he is not in the network of my insurance (when my insurance is listed in his profile and I verified this info before booking an appointment), so I had to pay out of pocket the full session when I should be paying the standard copay amount. It didn't seem like he really tried to resolve the billing/claim issue.

Dan has a bedside manner that is kind and helps me to embrace trusting the process - I am grateful for his wit, warmth and wonderful presence in holding the space!

I’m just starting therapy and Dr. Gaylinn really made me comfortable. He listens and gives me the space and tools needed to help me process everything and all the noise that is going on around me.

I look forward to seeing Dan every week. He's an excellent listener, provides insightful annecdotes and tools to better yourself, and digs deeper when necessary. Highly recommended.
Curt H.Verified patient
Dr. Gaylinn has been instrumental in helping my husband and I communicate more clearly and get through rough times together. Because of the skills I learned in his office, I truly feel more confident in my ability to handle and work through times of emotional stress. I feel blessed to have him in our lives.
October 22, 2016Andrea M.Verified patient
Dan is great. I always feel comfortable sharing my thoughts (challenging to find in a therapist). Understandable, non judgemental, but also is always pushing me to grow. Highly recommended
October 7, 2016Michael C.Verified patient
It was good, sometimes the talk in hyptotheticals/high level motives is difficult to connect to the current day to day. Appears receptive and genuine to my experience. Still too early for a proper rating.
MCVerified patient
I’m very appreciative of the time I spend with Dan. He’s thoughtful and challenges me to think. He’s able to sympathize with issues that I have difficulties dealing with, even if they feel foreign to him. Dan has been of great help in teaching me to speak up and to advocate for my needs and wants.
NGVerified patient
Dan is a great therapist. And I've had experience with several others before him. He's got a great bedside manner. He provides a supportive environment - a safe place - to share anything, and does a fantastic job of working through issues. Highly recommend!
NMVerified patient
Dan is very inciteful. He helps me narrow in on that one thing that is at the core of my dilemma. He is compassionate and understanding and never judges you. He always listens with a capacity to hear what you are saying with your words and your body, as in language, helping me relax and calm my self down and really get to the center of my feelings.
