Ohanesian Deborah L PhD

Dr. Ohanesian has really helped me. I recommend her!

Very nice lady. Attentive and very helpful.. She’s on time and you don’t have to wait for very long. I wish she had a couch and more comforting office. The office is small and generic, there’s a candle in a glass that she taps on when she’s thinking. (she probably doesn’t even notice that). And one time she wore a crucifx around her neck. Well, that kind of annoyed me a little bit, what if I was a budhist? Or an Isla read more «m? How do I trust someone with my inner most thoughts and dreams who’s proudly a catholic? I am concerned that her advice might be affected by her own beliefs as well, but so far, she’s not shown any signs of biased advice.
she was not able to relate to me because she has never experienced what I have gone through, herself! I don’t know about anyone else, but if I’m getting advice from a person that my company is paying for, I want them to be able to empathize.
For example, she told me that when I walk my dogs, really look at the flowers and grass and start noticing little things, and it will make me feel better. She says this a lot, when I’ve already told her repeatedly that I’m hearing voices in my head! WTF? smelling the roses — equals — crazy being cured! There are other instances of examples, but to be short, let’s just go with that.
Ask her first if she’s been in the same situation as you, if not, then she can’t relate. If anyone needs a psychologist, I definitely recommend her. Just don’t forget to ask first.
so, here’s the break down: This is for my own experience only.
+1 star for professionalism
+1 star for listening skills
+1 star for realizing that she is not helping me at all.
–1 star for not hearing or understanding what I’m going through.
–1 star for the lack of ability to empathize.
