CR
This therapist was very unstructured and did not give us any tools to help us. He often rushed us out of the room, laughed when my partner interrupted me during sessions and during the last session looked like he was falling asleep. He was not empathetic or a good listener and did not recognize or address the crisis situation that brought us into therapy in the first place. After providing zero strategies to help us with conflict resolution, he then ended therapy via an email without a face to face conversation or without giving us other options. Very unprofessional and disappointed. More...

Jerry is one of the smartest professionals I know. He's very well read and thoughtfully responds to problems with answers that are not only ethically sound, but common sense-based. As a colleague, I have gone to him numerous times as a sounding board or for some advice and direction. Very glad I have him as a resource! More...

Dr. Opthof presented to parents in our school district. He provided them with useful information to support students at home. He discussed ways in which we can acknowledge individual needs and assist our children who tend to be anxious. More...

Dr. Opthof checks all the boxes, both clinically as well as personally in his approach and treatment. I do not hesitate to refer patients to him. More...

In the more than 15 years that I have known and worked with Dr. Gerald Opthof, he has impressed me as an outstanding clinician who works extremely well with teens and adults. With a calm demeanor that puts his clients at ease and expertise in treating addictions, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, Dr. Opthof can be counted on to help anyone struggling in one of the aforementioned areas. It is with great pleasure that I award him with a very well-deserved 5-star rating. More...
