Dr. Hoorwitz is a very good psychologist, who is an active listener (one who properly does not interject their own emotions into the conversation, but reiterates our own thoughts back to us) that patiently guides us to help us uncover what we need to realize. He guides patients who are truly open to examining their own issues, while being non-judgmental, effectively using silences and give his undivided attention to you. I have not seen him in several years since the crisis I had, but truly wish him health, happiness and a long life.

Our family went to Dr. Hoorwitz because we need therapy. We were eager to do the work and be guided by him, but he seemed utterly indifferent to us. We had two appointments during which his manner towards us was dismissive and uninterested, and then he gave us a copy of his book and said, Everything I want to say to you is in there. Thats all I have to say. We didnt go to therapy to get a book! We went to get therapy. If it werent such a crying shame, Id laugh. As a result of his unprofessional treatment of us, other members of our family no longer want to try therapy even with other therapists.This Doctor has actively made our situation worse.Edited to add: I see the therapist has responded to this review saying I am deliberately trying to make him look bad. I wonder what he thinks my motive for that might be. I have nothing to gain from random vendettas against people Ive only met one time and have no plans to ever see again. I was definitely angry when I wrote this review, though, since we had been treated badly by this therapist and our family situation became much worse because of him. If he is uncomfortable with this anger, he might want to reconsider the way he interacts with patients.
