I have been seeing Dr. Schiffer for over a year and my overall happiness has improved dramatically. I dealt with childhood trauma and feel like his work has changed my life. His work is deep and takes commitment and vulnerability. The outcomes are absolutely worth the time and investment. Thank you doctor!

I saw Dr. Schiffer for several years for treatment of PTSD. He helped me more than any previous therapist. He was easy to talk to and very insightful. He helped me understand past traumas, and to notice how they affect me today. He told me that I mattered, despite what I thought about myself, and encouraged me when I couldn't. He also identified specific health problems caused by trauma, and made really helpful medication changes to treat that.

Dr. Schiffer is someone who has helped me more than there are words and has brought so much clarity to my life with regard to past trauma. I was first introduced by Dr. Schiffer to his theory of Dual Brain Psychology, which in MY own words is one hemisphere of the brain ultimately being less mature than the other (like a child, the other a mature adult) and therefore each hemisphere processing emotions differently.

Dr.Schiffer is a kind, generous and genuinely caring person. I saw him for over a year and not once did I ever feel anything but grateful for his insights and treatment. My only suggestion is to be sure to be active in AA/NA and or other supports for your recovery.

As a patient for 4 years I was surprised to see any negative reviews. Dr. Schiffer has been extremely helpful to me . He has been instrumental in the progress I have made . He understands trauma and has always been there for me without judgement. Perhaps some of the negative reviewers weren’t ready to put the time and effort needed to work in therapy.It is a difficult journey but Dr Schiffer continues to open myself up to understanding the 2 different minds I have and how to become a healthier person. Thank you Dr Schiffer!

Kept a relative sick for a year upping his dosage to addictive medication, he ended up in rehab and completely isolated after DR Schiffer was fine with him. This man is dangerous, do not see him!!!

I met this dr abut treatment for a relatives drug program. He is anidealogue, dogmatic, immersed in his personal theory to the exclusion of other important issues related to drugs. Simplistic, superficial and insensitive. Would never recommend. Total waste of time.

I have been a patient of Dr. Schiffers for about 2 years. He has saved my life and my family. He has worked with me and taught me than I could have ever imagined. I have seen other Doctors before him that went nowhere. He has been more than I could have ever imagined for a doctor!!

Dr. Schiffer has been helping a family member for over 2 1/2 years. He has been instrumental in listening and advising our family member on how to deal with their challenges and has really helped with ideas on how to navigate everyday life while coping with these challenges. He has also been very receptive to family discussions and has always been there when there was an immediate need. I highly recommend him to help you or your family member.
