I have been seeing Dr. Herman for more than two years now, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. He has been consistently insightful, understanding, caring, responsive, and fair. I especially like that he has introduced me to various techniques and ways of looking at things, yet hasn’t been stuck on anything in particular. For example, Dr. Herman had me practicing guided meditation (Bill Clinton spoke highly about this recently, by coincidence) but when I let it slide; we simply moved on to the next thing. When I have been stuck on something or other, he has been able to offer some insightful keys that helped me get unstuck. I do appreciate now in hindsight how therapy with Dr. Herman has helped me, whereas I was skeptical at the outset. I believe that therapy can help in ways that you can’t access by yourself or via friends & family. Dr. Herman is an excellent therapist, and I can point to a few key instances (that I won’t share here) in my therapy with him that have been eye-​opening and unquestionably beneficial to my health and happiness.
I also wanted to mention that I have heard only positive remarks from others when his name came up. I count myself in these ranks such that if his name comes up I will chime in with my highest recommendation, too.

Horrible, horrible, horrible! It’s hard to even put into words the extremely poor and unprofessional counseling session I experienced with Mr. Herman. He was rude, listened poorly, repeatedly let out sighs of frustration while rubbing his eyes (as though he was tortured by the session and his job in general), and presented extremely biased and illogical «advice» (without getting into personal details of the session). I went in feeling horrible and left feeling horrible AND angry. His actual demeanor and attitude in NO way matches what he presents himself to be on his website. I highly discourage anyone from scheduling a session with him. You will be better off seeing a doctor who is more skilled and passionate in his/​her practice– someone who has a genuine care for people and their wellbeing.
