Mitch is the absolute very best! Over 18 months ago, my husband and I decided we wanted to strengthen our relationship, so we decided to start working with a couples counselor. We were so lucky to connect with Mitch. From the very beginning, Mitch made us feel extremely comfortable. Mitch has an exceedingly pleasant demeanor, he is a highly skilled therapist and he creates a warm, inviting, comfortable environment for navigating through various areas of concerns in a couple's relationship. He's an empathetic listener. He provides constructive feedback and creates a safe space to authentically discuss and work through areas of concern. Thanks to Mitch we've made small changes in our relationship that have brought about significant change, growth and closeness. After spending so much time and energy on our children and careers, it's exciting to devote a small portion of time to enhancing our relationship- a marriage of nearly 30 years. Additionally, Mitch offers the convenience of remote online sessions if in-person sessions are not feasible. And Mitch works with insurance companies, though even if he didn't, we'd see the value in meeting with him. We highly recommend Mitch!

Mr. Margolis is an extraordinary human and I would recommend him to anyone! I will start by saying that seeing a therapist was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made in my life. I have always battled depression and anxiety, but never could get the courage to see someone about it. Mr. Margolis was the first therapist I had ever went to...and am I lucky for it. He adapts to your style and energy. He never pushes too hard, but always ensures there is a take away. Time flew every session, and I always found myself saying, "how was that already an hour?!" I continue to take the action steps that we agree on and feel better each day. Thank you Mr. Margolis for being so good at what you do, but also such a stellar person. I highly recommend him to anyone!

I have been a patient of Mitchell’s for some time and I wouldn’t prefer any other Therapist. I trust him completely as a therapist and have never been made to feel anything less than comfortable, supported, and well advised. His counseling has truly been my preservation at times.

Our teenage son requested counseling to help him navigate through his adolescent years and all the challenges that brings. Mitch’s approach of helping him within the context of the whole family has benefitted us all. He has enabled us to communicate in a more productive way, helped each of us to confront individual issues that were affecting our relationships with one another, and allowed each of us to feel heard. Mitch has a gentle way of challenging our son in a non-judgmental way that encourages self-reflection and opens up a healthy dialog. He is reassuring, patient and offers helpful insights and guidance. While most of our sessions include us, he occasionally spends part of the time working one-on-one with our son when appropriate. Our son is very comfortable opening up to Mitch, which is key.

It is also helpful that he accepts our insurance and is flexible enough with appointments to work within our unique schedule challenges. On the rare occasions we have had scheduling conflicts arise, Mitch has been understanding and worked with us to resolve it without issue. We are very happy to have found someone so helpful that we all like and trust!

Mitch is an excellent therapist. I was looking for help with a lot of issues that arose after the death of one of my parents. I was able to open up and begin to deal with some serious issues, with guidance and help from Mitch. He is very attentive, professional, empathetic, and patient focused. He gives good insights, and encourages you to find concrete steps and actions that you can take to make the changes you want to make in your life. I have been able to confront and deal with some issues I have kept hidden for years.
I have found his payment and cancellation policies to be standard in relation to other health professionals, and they are fair and explained upfront.

I was supposed to have an appointment earlier today with Mitch however due to my dentist chipping my tooth I had to cancel last minute. Instead of rescheduling he wrote me off and asked me to ask for another referral to a different therapist. This would have been the first appointment with him, as well as the first time I would have rescheduled with him. I would not recommend this type of therapist to anyone. I can only assume he is not genuine, nor very empathetic both crucial in any therapist.

My fiance and I loved Mitch! We are in our 20s and looking to get married and I feel like most therapists would not take us seriously, but Mitch did. Within three sessions we already had awesome advice and powerful book suggestions. Hands down the best!

Mitch did couples counseling for my husband and I. He came recommended from my personal therapist to whom he acts as a mentor. My husband and I had 10-14 sessions with Mitch over a few months. He challenged us to communicate more effectively and gave us practical tools to help. The conversations with him also opened natural conversations for us at home that helped us understand each other better. My husband and I can both get very set in our individual opinions and Mitch helped us to see where we were misguided but in a helpful, non-judgmental way.

Mitch provided therapy services to my adolescent teenage son twice during his high school years when he was addressing some challenging situations in his life. Mitch's approach is more of a coach than a therapist, which certainly put my adolescent son more at ease with receiving guidance from him. Mitch's guidance helped my son process through his challenges and provided him with some tools to use when encountering similar situations. Mitch has a wonderfully calm demeanor which put my son at complete ease. I highly recommend Mitch and his coaching services to any families seeking services for their adolescent children.

Mitch Margolis listens to every word that is uttered and hones in on difficult issues. He is caring and also keeps a professional distance. He seems to connect with adolescents and adults. I feel a great sense of confidence in Mitch.
