Review №1

I have been seeing Dr. Smerling for two years, for couples therapy with my husband, and from time to time individually. She has consistently demonstrated a caring, empathetic, and personal approach in her interactions with us. She has helped us to relate to each other better as a couple, to overcome some challenging issues we faced, and has helped us to better support our children when they needed it and to do a better job parenting together as a team. She is adept at making both sides of a couple feel heard and understood (this is very hard to find with a therapist), and at opening a pathway for long lasting progress over time. She is a lovely person who can just as easily shine in the media as transmit genuine concern and warmth to each of her clients in person. She was recommended by a friend, and Im thankful to have found her. Her support has helped me to refresh my energy, take care of myself, and take the steps I needed to feel more empowered as an individual, and to live in a way that feels true to myself while balancing the needs of a NYC family. Dont hesitate to reach out to her for a broad range of therapy needs- Dr. Smerling is a gem.

I lost my sense of self when I decided to marry. I was a career woman, and I gave up everything for my husband---so when he cheated. I was really unsure of what to do with my life and sense of self. Dr. Kathryn helped me get my confidence back. She made me see that I am still worthy and are powerful in my own right

Dr. Smerling has been my doctor for 20 years. I first started seeing her when I was being bullied at school, and she helped me develop my sense of self. Now, I like to think that Dr. Smerling is proud of a man I have become. In more ways than ne, she has been a steady pressence in my life.

Dr. Smerling is the worst doctor of any kind I have ever seen. She is biased, competitive with women, wavers with her opinions, lies, and seems to care more about her PR than treating her patients. She is not to be trusted with any serious issue. She literally told me to just go out and find another husband. Stay away.

I went trough a very messy divorce a few years ago, and it left me in shambles, both financially and emotionally. I was at an all-time low., I was started eating more than was healthy for me, and a friend told me Id ley myself go. I went to Dr. Kathryn Smerling after I heard her advice on news segment. She helped me find my way back to the old me and gave me the tools to discover facets of myself I didnt know.

Uneducated and without understanding of the scientific method. This psychologist is more concerned with her image as a celebrity than actually citing relevant sources of information. She has likened video game addiction to that of heroin. As a biophysics professional I would love to have a conversation with this professional about the physiological effects of fortnite. I personally can not find any peer reviewed information on how video games form biochemical dependencies in the same way that opiates do. She has cited Prince Harry as a source of information. This is a blatant misuse of source credibility. She is using someone who sounds important to confirm her talking points while ignoring peer reviewed studies. If she remembers her education at all she would know that this is a textbook example of conformation bias. Honestly someone so caught up in their own financial prerogative that they blatantly ignore the basic principles on which their field is based (psychology) deserves to have their certification revoked. I would liken this to a climate scientist who works for Exon Mobile and claims climate change is fake. So if this is what you would like in a psychologist by all means contact Dr. Smerling. I would suggest finding someone who is more concerned using credible sources of information and making accurate an diagnosis.

Review №12

I came in just the other week because Id been having a problem with my child playing too much Fortnite. back in my day, we went outside when we wanted to have fun. we would go to the park and enjoy nature. and when we needed money, we got a job. I try to tell my son that just because everyone else is doing it, doesnt mean its okay. but he just wont listen, hes constantly up until sometimes even 1 AM playing and streaming, and I cant take it anymore. Luckily Ms. Schmerling recommended to me a wonderful strategy where I take some heroin and shove it right into his arms while hes busy playing. Good luck playing Fortnite while youre two needles in!

She is true Though Fortnite Affects your brain like Heroin and you can become addicted to it but you would need to be playing it 5 hours a day to become addicted.
