(Sorry I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid) Hypnotherapy is only out of pocket-private fee.
Life is not an event but a dynamic process Stress is a prevalent factor of modern urban life. It touches everyone . It can cause anguish and depression making life seem an indomitable challenge instead of a process that offers enrichment and joy. If you are suffering from stress, acute anxiety or depression, psychotherapy is something for you to consider.
Whether you are seeking immediate relief from presenting symptoms or want life-enhancing change, I am qualified to respond to your needs. My comprehesive training and experience includes a wide range of emotional problems. My interest have led me to focus on these areas of specialization: personality development and nueroses, anxiety and depression, and life enhancement. For over twenty years I have assisted people from diverse backgrounds to overcome obstacles to their success. My particular approach is to recognize your uniqueness

April 1, 2024Peter A.Verified patient
I should have listened to the 1-star reviews and avoided this lady. I have been looking for a therapist to build a continuous relationship with, to go over the postpartum depression I experienced two years ago, and the avalanche of marital problems it brought between my husband and me. I started telling Dr. Terzaghi all this in our first (and only) session. I started crying right away because every time I think about the period after I gave birth I start crying. She just looked at me coldly and kept saying "well you're not talking much" or "you're not very communicative are you". I felt like she was bothered that I didn't just talk continuously so she could doodle and daydream, instead of doing her job: listen to my situation, ask followup questions and help me come up with a path forward. It was a terrible experience. I left that (online) meeting feeling worse than I came in. I left feeling like there was something wrong with me as a person. The opposite effect therapy should have.

All I can say is I hadn't seen the doctor for a while and I was so happy that I came back to her office where I had an amazing experience. The session was absolutely fantastic I can't believe I went so long without seeing Dr Terzaghi. We had immediate reconnection and I can't wait to go back for the next session to continue on my journey to feeling great.
May 10, 2023Daniel K.Verified patient
Do not be fooled by the reviews that say Dr. Terzaghi is kind or caring or helpful or warm. This woman is so unfriendly. Not because she is using tough love therapy. She is genuinely unkind. She was so condescending. She was definitely NOT paying attention during the entire session. She was not listening to the issues I wanted to discuss and made up her own reasoning. Example. She kept insisting something dramatic had occured to make me see her when the truth was I just finally had time. DO NOT USE HER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE KIND AND CARING. OR SOMEONE WHO LISTENS.

I have got to say my life has been extremely difficult during covid, losing one of my very best friends. Dr Terzaghi has helped me so much thru these times. Her compassion and her insite has helped me so much. I have had previous hypnosis therapy that has truly changed my life. I recommend Dr Mari she is the best.
Daniel K.Verified patient
the appointment was made a week earlier, yet she called the morning of my appointment at 8am to ask if i got the forms she sent for me to fill out. at the appointment she went right into talking about the reason i was there. if you like it when people get to point then she's for you.
she seemed like she knew about diagnosing depression so plus there. she is knowledgeable. but she is a therapist, not a psychiatrist, so i felt like at times there was no need for her to be as pushy as she was for answers. her purpose isn't to diagnose you or get survey answers like a psychiatrist. i was uncomfortable because we went right into why i was there, which was something i'm not used to talking about. she pushed me to answer questions that i didn't have clear answers to and made me feel bad i didn't have answers to them. i said something about my weight going up but still often skipping meals she kept saying that was impossible. she also said that i looked like i felt hopeless, which isn't something you should say to someone.. i don't think she is good with sensitive people. the pushiness and agitation when i couldn't answer questions made the whole thing feel rushed and more hurtful than it had to be.
she rushed to get to the reason for why i was depressed, why i cried, and "I don't know" wasn't an acceptable answer. you're supposed to talk through your problems in therapy, not have a specific answer for every question she asks you and feel bad about not having it.

Dr. Terzaghi changed my life. I had issues with depression for most of my life and had tried therapy once before (with another therapist), but never actually felt comfortable with it. I decided to give it one more try and thanks to her, it was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. I was obviously nervous trying a new therapist, but she was extremely kind and warm that it relaxed me almost immediately and made me feel like I was opening up to a family member or a close friend. She was also willing to work with me while I sorted out some insurance issues, so it was comforting to know that money was not a concern of hers. She took the time to get to know me and always seemed to ask the right questions to help discover the the causes of the feelings and behaviors that had been taking such a huge toll on my life. She taught me to new ways to manage negative emotions and helped me gain a level of self-awareness, which lead to me becoming more positive, confident, and driven. I can safely say that I’ve grown more in the past year working Dr. Terzaghi than I have in the previous decade and I can’t thank her enough for that.
Thomas R.Verified patient
At our 4th appointment Dr Terzaghi seemed angry that I couldn’t elaborate further on some topics. Even though I told her that it was because I didn’t know how to/couldn’t think of anything else to say and asked for coaching. She then accused me of not wanting to be there, and told me we don’t have to continue if I didn’t want to without me ever saying anything regarding that. In the same conversation she told me I look sad all the time (that’s my face) for no reason at all? Came out very aggressive, and unprofessional. It seemed like she was annoyed that she had to prod for some information, making me think she’s lazy and just wants patients who will sit there and blab endlessly about their problems so she doesn’t have to do anything. She also never provided a path for treatment whatsoever. Terrible experience.

This lady was the worst! Even before she opened the door, she asked if I had the paperwork. As soon as we met, her greeting was to check the paperwork for my credit card information - she doesn't want HSA card on file since she can't charge you for cancellation. After that was settled, she finally let me sit and asked, "why are you here?" I started to talk, giving her a brief history then onto my current situation. Throughout the whole conversation, she kept focusing on the wrong details and asked irrelevant questions. She seemed very distracted and kept saying, "what?" to a point where it became uncomfortable and frustrating. When we were near the end of the session, she cut me off in middle of a sentence and asked to schedule a second session. I have seen a few therapist/ psychologist in the past, but this lady was the worst!

Don't let the absurdly harsh reviews deter you. As with any therapist it takes time to establish a relationship -- and there will always be paperwork and logistics to handle at any first visit doctor's appointment.
Dr. Terzaghi is wonderful and I am, no question, a stronger person because of our sessions. She shows great objectivity and listens well. She asks the tough questions and makes you think about and evaluate views, actions and thoughts that you truly probably never considered. She's good. She knows what she is doing.
When faced with an immediate crisis, she is flexible, quick to respond and will find a way to see you.

This was my first time ever to any kind of therapist and it was seriously the WORST experience of my life. I left feeling worse than I did walking in. I found Dr. Terzaghi very cold and very unfriendly. Upon introduction, there were no smiles, no friendly small talk, no usual graces when you first meet someone. She barely let me shake her hand. Her hello was, “Did you complete your paperwork and you need to complete the credit card information right now.” Even with that, I almost turned around when I saw what I was walking into. She started off asking why I was there. I stated my spiel and she kind of looked at me awkwardly and was like why? I immediately second guessed myself of why I was there and was this a mistake. I think I’m suffering from postpartum depression just having a baby five months ago and on top of that, I have gone through ups and downs in the past 4 years of my life (like moving to NYC, getting married, dad passed away, miscarriages, births, etc) and my internal medicine doctor ran all the blood tests with all autoimmune diseases coming back negative. My internalist suggested to go speak to a therapist because sometimes when we hold in so much, our bodies react and can cause it pain. I was willing to give it a try and thought I should try right away before our move to Arizona in a couple weeks to see if I do in fact feel any better. She was like, “What’s the point if you’re moving?” I’m like, “Look, I’m trying to make the right steps to feel better.” And I could feel her eyes roll in the back of her head even though she held her stone cold stare directly at me. I went on to talk about how overwhelm I feel as a mother to a two-year old and a baby, how overstressed I am at work, and then I started crying when I brought up the passing of my father from cancer, which by the way, the thought of handing me a tissue did not cross her mind even though they were clearly in sight on the coffee table. Two things she picked out of my long monologue – I was sad and I wanted a divorce. First off, I only said I was sad about my dad. And two, I said I don’t want to continue feeling like how I feel because I don’t want my marriage to suffer and end in divorce. I want to turn my anxiety and exhaustion around. I never said I was unhappy with my husband. The most annoying thing overall was she kept asking, “What?” after I stated a thought. If it was once or twice, no big deal, but it was over twenty times and it got old real fast. Like did she not hear me or was she just dissatisfied or bored with what I was discussing? Apparently our session was over when she was interrupted by the intercom. She then asked me how I thought it went and when I said, “I don’t know. I didn’t really get much out of it because there was no interaction. It felt like you were only interested in getting paid because you wanted my credit card info in the beginning and then you asked me about my insurance co-pay/deductible at the end.” Not a thank you for sharing so much with me or even offer any insight or advice. She really shut off once I said I was moving probably because she knew I wasn’t going to be another cash cow. Her response, and I kid you not, “I don’t think that’s fair.” You know what’s not fair? Seeking help and then feeling even more inadequate and fearful about seeking help ever again.

When I arrived at Dr. Terzaghi's waiting room, the first thing she asked me was "Did you bring in the insurance form I emailed you?". I did not, as she emailed it to me the morning of our appointment, so I missed her email. So due to this she said in a very rude manner that we're gonna have to reschedule the appointment. I argued that it would only take a few minutes to fill out the form and our appointment time frame was about an hour (I live 30 minutes away and took a day off to make this appointment). After I convinced her to proceed with the appointment, I regretted it all, as it was awful. Her office is a head-to-toe hot pink room with a sad leather couch and without any sunlight. The entire atmosphere/energy in that room was suffocating, but it wasn't the worst part. Dr. Terzaghi really had a degrading demeanor throughout our session. She definitely made me cry, but not for the right reasons. I couldn't open up to her, because she made me feel ashamed of the reasons why I came to her in the first place. I urge you, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME here. That's NOT how a mental health provider should make you feel. You shouldn't be leaving the session feeling worse than you did before you came in.

All I can say is that she was so empowering she listened carefully to me speak I felt like she really understood me and what I was trying to work on in my life. I would so recommend Dr. Terzaghi
It takes a special person to make you feel so good about yourself, enabling me to be completely open and to see where my life issues are really coming from. I have tried hypnosis with her and found that to be an ever more powerful way to reach into my inner self. So if you are looking for a caring compassionate person don't hesitate to call Dr. Terzaghi and make an appointment to see her you won't be disappointment, Remember that in life you must take action to get results.

Okay, I thought this Dr. would be great for me because I read her bio and specialties. However, I was there on time and she took some time because she said she was on the phone with the insurance company. I have already called the insurance company myself and had all her paper work ready! She made me waste my time giving her information she already had. She charged me the co pay fee which was fine but even then from the beginning she was rude and was about the paper work and money. She made me feel like what I was saying was dumb, mentioning that it's the past and then she then asked me why am I there.... I was telling her the story of why I was there which totally makes sense, but then she made funny faces making me feel uncomfortable and I couldn't be really open to her because she honestly made me feel like what I was saying was dumb. I would not recommend people to come here, specially not the first time. I am pretty good at defending myself from people that want to make me feel bad that when she asked me do you want to make an appointment again, I said I don't know. I didn't want to be disrespectful and say something else. She then said you seem doubtful and of course! she said give me a call or what not but I won't! Again, I left disappointment and wasted my time and money for nothing. She just needed to be nice and understanding but she wasn't.

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Mari Terzaghi she has helped me reshape my life. I had so many past issues form my divorce. finding out after 15 years that one of my kids wan't even mine. I couldn't deal with this issue, I felt like my life was taken from me cheated on in the worst way. After several Physiological appointments which were going really well, I felt I needed more, so we started hypnosis therapy. After my very first session I started to look at the situation totally different, hypnosis really works for me, I have been able to forgive my X and move on. I know that a raised my child and even though I am not the biological parent I am the Dad, Dr. Terzaghi thru the multiple hypnosis treatments has given me a new outlook, not just to be the proud father that I am. She has also helped me with my self esteem, I now walk around with a fresh feeling of who I am. So yes I would recommend Dr. Terzaghi to anyone looking to improve their life. Weather it be a childhood issues or just wanting to feel better, she will help you.
