I felt very comfortable with Liza as she is called for short. I was ready to open up due to her energy of concern.

I am someone who has been in and out of therapy over the last decade or so- recovering from various traumas and trying to cope with my own personal struggles, so I'm familiar with the process and have had different (positive and negative) experiences with a variety of different counselors. When I first came to Liza's practice, I was looking for help with just learning some healthier coping mechanisms and hoping to better prepare myself for triggering moments/ general day-to-day anxieties. I first met with Goldie for about two months, and she was very helpful in giving me some new tools and approaches to assist my goals. I was later told by Liza that I would be switched over to a different therapist, and have been seeing Ruthie weekly ever since. I don't think I have ever felt more comfortable with a mental health counselor than with Ruthie. She is extremely receptive, perceptive, and insightful, and her perspective has been extremely eye-opening for me. With her diagnosis and treatment plan, I feel tremendously hopeful in only further continuing to grow. They have been flexible, accommodating, and helpful within their practice by means of payment and setting up appointments as well.

Starting counseling was a difficult and frightening decision for me, but Liza’s help within our first meeting and those that have come after have made approaching my own mental health easier and less like a giant hurtle.
More than 1 year agoMegan H.Verified patient
As soon as I met my therapist Ruthie I knew I could trust her. At the end of my first session I went home feeling extremely hopeful that my healing was possible. I look forward to the rest of my journey with her.
March 15, 2019Kavita L.Verified patient
Ive been seeing Liza for over a year now and its made a tremendous impact in my life. She is very nice and super accomodating. I felt very comfortable from our first session.

I just finished my first session with Ruthie. I haven’t felt this hopeful about therapy in a long time. Excited for my next session!
February 22, 2019Eunhae K.Verified patient
Office space is clean and approachable. No wait time. Ruthie is very professional & kind. Happy I have this kind of support available. Will be going again.
January 14, 2019April B.Verified patient
It was my first time meeting with a therapist and I can say that I felt a big sense of relief and comfort from the moment I stepped into the room with Ruthie.

I've been a patient of Liza since August. Prior to going to her, I was very against seeking help. Liza was welcoming and made me feel like I was finally in a safe space. I've seen 2 other therapists in the past but I've never quite experienced someone as hands on like her. She keeps me on track, questions me at the right times (great probing questions that make me think!), and gives me ways on how I can improve. She's awesome and I highly recommend her.
More than 1 year agoCristina V.Verified patient
Nice office and welcoming atmosphere. I felt comfortable talking and the staff was really great. I felt like the therapist was very warm and smart and offered me some good insights. I would recommend to others.

She was great. I had some issues with my insurance and she helped me out and we were able to figure out a plan that works for me. She’s understanding and highly recommended from me!
October 19, 2018Rachel B.Verified patient
I was a bit nervous as it was my first time coming to therapy. The therapist was very patient and understanding. She seemed quite knowledgeable and concerned about my well being. She explained the process and what I can expect from therapy. She answered all my questions and I felt comfortable in the environment. There was also no wait time.

Great!
More than 1 year agoTracie M.Verified patient
Do not go here - this is a racket and they are very unprofessional. They never sent me a receipt until I asked, and then they spelled both my name and their own contact information incorrectly. This led to huge problems with my FSA card and I'm still dealing with the negative consequences of the one time I went here. Avoid this therapist.

I made the appointment last minute. I felt comfortable and had help with the paperwork. Definitely would recommend YLG to friends and family. Thank you.
September 13, 2018Initials hidden
Sometimes its awkward and stressful to fill out paperwork, especially when all i want to do is vent but Liza made the process so easy, answered all of my questions, and made sure to talk with me for a bit about what was going on with me. Im definitely looking forward to my next appointment at YLG
September 13, 2018Initials hidden
Thank you so much Liza for taking me last minute! YLG made it an effortless process and I will be eager to get in for my next appointment.

I liked the atmosphere. I liked how nicely decorated the room was. I liked how inviting Liza was. I disliked that I felt like a popsicle. It was really cold in the unit. However, that was minor. It felt great to get everything off my chest and have Liza analyze my feelings. I felt she definitely made an impact on us and whether we should give this relationship another try. For now, I probably can recommend others to come see Liza for a non judgmental chat.
August 16, 2018Erin M.Verified patient
In touch with her patients feelings. Able to target the problems and resolve them with you. Would recommend to others in need of therapy.
July 25, 2018Lucerne L.Verified patient
Great!
July 6, 2018Tamia B.Verified patient
Had a great experience in my first session. Although I don’t see Liza regularly she was able to place me with a great therapist within her practice after my consultation - love that she is hands on with client placement to ensure the needs are being met. It was my first session ever and she made me feel comfortable.
June 22, 2018Mallory W.Verified patient
I am very satisfied with my visit. Liza made me feel super comfortable especially since it was very difficult to share certain things for me but I felt absolutely no judgment. Not only was she super easy to talk to she provided constructive criticism and feedback that I needed to start improving my mental health. I will absolutely continue seeing her.
June 21, 2018Dana L.Verified patient
I went in for my first evaluation today with the practices owner and within 45 minutes she placed me with a phychatrist who can help me with my anxiety and depression. While this review is purely off first impressions I am happy with the service as of now. Looking forward to continuing my treatment with this office.
June 15, 2018Scott S.Verified patient
She is awesome!!
June 11, 2018Manuel G.Verified patient
I have been seeing Liza for about 18 months, during which time I have completely changed and am way closer to the person I want to be than when I walked into her office. I had seen 2 other therapists before her and could not get over the fact that they said nothing. It was like talking to a blank wall.
I was happy to find that Liza was the complete opposite. She gave helpful suggestions and taught me the easiest but most effective coping skills to deal with my debilitating anxiety.
In the past 18 months, we have taken breaks and I notice that about 6 weeks into me not seeing her, some of my old patterns return and I'll come in for a tune up.
She definitely is hard to get an appt with, but once she takes you on as a client you have her at your full disposal. She is amazing with responding to things outside of the session. There is no question in my mind that she truly cares about me and my well being.
May 7, 2018Amber M.Verified patient
She allows for a safe environment where you can be open and vulnerable with no judgement.
She really listens and cares for her patients. I know I am very lucky to have her as she has changed my life!
March 5, 2018Jennifer L.Verified patient
Yelizaveta made me feel comfortable and relaxed right away. I felt like I could tell her anything with out any judgement. Since my first session, she has been determined in figuring out what my issues are and in setting me up to be successful in dealing with them.
She has met with people I felt ready to bring into our sessions and have handled these interactions with intention and care.
I feel I am learning more about myself since seeing Liza and would recommend her to a friend.
February 1, 2018Aaron R.Verified patient
I have only had one session so far and I’m really excited for what I can accomplish. I already feel like she knows me and will be able to help me.
January 20, 2018Tiffany W.Verified patient
Liza takes your time to understand you. She sends you inspiration videos and is easy to reach out to when needed. Definitely recommend!

It was very easy to connect quickly with Liza. She creates an environment of trust that truly allows for open dialogue. I feel secure being able to talk about whatever I want without feeling judged. She is really easy to get in contact with throughout the week and that is something I appreciate. I am looking forward to continuing working with Liza and bettering my life for it.
January 22, 2018Allaire G.Verified patient
Yelizaveta was very helpful down to earth and very knowledgeable. Our session over 45 minutes and not once did I feel like she was rushing me. I'm very happy I found her and highly recommend her. I can't wait for our next session.
January 14, 2018Marwa A.Verified patient
I have been to a couple of therapists before who were very nice but after months of therapy there was no change. Liza was the exact opposite. I came to her at a time where I was contemplating terrible things and through just 6 months of therapy I was able to completely change my life around. She is worth every penny because I can say wholeheartedly she saved my life.
More than 1 year agoAG
I was a bit hesitant because she looked a bit young, but she has A LOT of experience. I was truly amazed at her clinical expertise and background. Her treatment orientation was anything but passive and gave me actual tools to improve everyday living. I have recommended Dr. Golub to 3 of my colleagues and they all have felt the same way.
More than 1 year agoKJ
I did not believe in therapy but came to see Liza as a last resort. IT took me about 3 months to say anything real to her. She was patient and encouraging the whole time. She sent podcasts and gave me new coping techniques every time we met. The first time I met her she said she is not just my therapist for the session but is open and available when ever I need. People say that but through my personal experience I have found it to be true. I can not recommend her more highly.

I NEVER leave reviews. To say I had a rough childhood is an understatement. My marriage was on the verge of being over. I was full of anger and hatred. I had seen 4 therapists in the past 5 years who kept asking me about my week. Liza was the first and only therapist who was able to help me deal with my trauma, abandonment and anger. She referred me to the right psychiatrist and for the first time in 40 years I do not want to kick people around me for simply existing. At a point I was seeing her 3 times a week and can say she saved my marriage, my job and probably my life is not an understatement. I have referred people to her who have had similar experiences. She is worth the time and money AND SHE TAKES INSURANCE!

She is direct and will challenge you. You will either love her or hate her. She did not let me get away with anything and helped me see my role in all the things that were "being done to me". She frustrated me quite a bit. I also am alive because of her unwavering belief in me and her ability to see what I am capable of even when I could not. When I started seeing her, I was not a very good person and I did not care (or so I thought). I now have my family back in my life and am in a relationship for the first time in 10 years. It was not easy but it was worth it. I also lost my job, and she charged me 25% of her normal fee for the entire time. You would be foolish to look anywhere else.

She was recommended by a friend of mine who is a fire fighter and a military vet. She looked 12 and I did not take her seriously. I was wrong. After finding out she has worked with the entire nyc fire department for about a dace, specializes in trauma, depression, bipolar and anxiety I sat down shut up and listened. She saved my marriage and got me on the right meds. Not on meds anymore and am not a miserable SOB either (ask my wife).

Had horrible anxiety and was on medication for 5 years. Am off of all medication and have started helping others deal with anxiety because of Liza.
More than 1 year agoAR
She looked young and inexperienced. Boy was I wrong! Her training and experience are impressive. She is sooooo smart. However, it is not in a "I am smarter or better than you kind of way". She talks to you on your level and you feel as though you find someone who can truly relate and understand. I never left regretting the fact that I came to therapy. She worked around my schedule and hectic work hours and would e-mail me helpful techniques on a daily basis. She gave me hope.

I had debilitating panic attacks and was at a point where I was calling out sick from work more days than I can afford. In a matter of about 4 months my panic attacks were gone and I am no longer in jeopardy of losing my job.
