What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy can lead to positive outcomes when there is a "good fit" with the therapist. A 15-minute consultation is complimentary, allowing you and the therapist to determine if you feel comfortable working together. Clients are viewed as experts on their own experiences, and active participation throughout the therapeutic process is vital for change. In our model, the therapist provides ongoing empathy and support while identifying and utilizing specific therapeutic methods to alleviate symptoms promptly. Therefore, clients are not passive recipients of treatment but active collaborators in the therapeutic journey. OFFERS IN-PERSON OR VIDEO VISITS1`

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin by working collaboratively with clients to identify the focus and scope of treatment and then utilize best practices to help guide clients toward achieving their therapeutic goals

Rona Helped me to find the courage to stand up and speak. I am pretty sure she saved my life. It was quite a journey!
Rona Okin is a wonderful therapist. She is compassionate and gently guides me through my therapeutic work.
Rona was very friendly. She is also concerned about my well-being and that is important to me.
Very pleasant and understanding. Her humor made me laugh on a day I really needed it.

Compassionate and kind, Rona is a great listener and today was no different
Rona was very attentive and a good listener. She is patient and reliable.
We booked a couples appointment with Rona who reached out to us and asked us to move the appointment up and we agreed on an earlier time. We showed up at her office at the time discussed and Rona was not present. We waited half an hour after texting her asking if she was still available. She didn’t answer until 30 minutes after our appointment time asking us to come back as she still had time to meet. This was extremely unprofessional especially for a first time patient experience. There was no apology or empathy in her messages after realizing she missed our schedule appointment and almost made it seem like it was our fault that we didn’t call her. This was a blessing in disguise as I cannot imagine having a therapist that doesn’t know what an apology looks like.

Great listener and gives great direction/advice
It was very informaive, and gave me insight into issues I never thought aabout before meeting Rona. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has anxiety!
Rona is terrific. She is not afraid to think outside the box to help people like me (who used to) suffer from severe, chronic depression, that needed innovative interventions to improve. I had gone from a miserable depressed person to a happy fulfilled woman who now helps others. Run, Don't walk too see Rona if you feel mentally unwell. She really cares.
Only the beginning

I had never seen a therapist before Rona showed me how incredible the expderience could be. My quality of life has improved dramatacly. Thank you so much Rona.
When I really needed help Rona was there for me. I can not forget how kind and understanding to my situation she was. If you are on the fencce and really need help take it from me, don't wait.!!
She is the BEST. Rona Okin is ny far the best therapist I have ever been to. She is honest and will not sugarcoat issues just to make you feel better or to make you think you are right as if you no wrong. Personally I really like then constructive criticism and have her be honest with me.
Rona Okin is so amazing. in our 3 sessions she has been personable, kind, and attentive. I love the way she listens and works around my needs. SHE IS AWESOME!!
Rona Okin really knows her stuff!! I would reccommend her her to anyone who needs counseling.... individual, martial, etc. She is very easy to talk to and does not beat around the bush. I have previously attended counseling with another therapist, and truly fell I have accomplished Rona in 6 months than 2 years with the other therapist.
We have had several in the past year about our 7 year old prior to seeing Rona Okin They all seemed perfectly confident about what they were saying, but Rona is the only one who made a difference!!
Rona Okin is a therapist that some people search through may to find. She not only listens, but offers up up honest advice and made me feel like my feels like my feelings are valid and warranted.
I went to see Rona Okin for issues I was having with anxiety and panic attacks. We met every week during the course of 2 years. We discussed my issues and sjhe provided me dwith many techniques such as relation exercises, charting my anxiety vitamin and protein therapyto try to reduce my panic attacks. Rona was so understanding and sincere, but she also made sure she held me accountable. She was made time for me last minute.
Rona is amazing. She listens attentively and helps me process my thoughts and to interpret them. She supports me in so many ways, and I usually leave the session feeling better than when I walked in.
Rona is incredible! She has brilliant insights and has taken great care of my mental health. She is lovely to speak to every session. It is rare too find a doctor who actually listens to me, and combines her knowledge and outstanding skills.
Rona is a great provider. She listens well and has a very calming nature. She goes out of her way to drill into problems, and yes that means sometimes being direct, but sometime we need it. She is also very accommodating on form of communication that is used for virtual visits.
Rona Okin is incredible. SHe has taken great care of my mental health. Not only is she brilliant but also lovely to speak with every session. It is rare to find a doctor that actually listens to me and combines her outstanding skills.
Unfortunately, I found Dr. Okin to be unprofessional. While I appreciated her advice and she set me on a good path of finding help, her remarks about my family were inappropriate and judgemental. In addition, after I paid her directly she then cashed a check from my insurance company and refused to reimburse me for the duplicate payment.

Rona Okin is the BEST! She is so personable and down to earth. She is genuinely interested in how you are feeling and what is going on in your life. (something many therapists seem to dismiss). She always gets back to me quickly - even during off hours, and is very organized. II consider myself very fortunate to have found her on ZocDoc!
This was one of the worst experiences with a doctor that I have ever had. She was 15 minutes late to the appointment, and asked to use FaceTime instead of the portal. She made insensitive, disparaging, and unprofessional comments during our time together. The following week, she erratically requested multiple payments via text and refused to communicate with my insurance and submit the paperwork with them. I am very disappointed and will be following up with ZocDoc to ensure that this does not happen to anyone else.
