Biana Bochkur

Dr. B is one of the most professional people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She has helped me through a lot of issues, while being honest and trusting with me. I wouldn’t invest my time in any other therapist.

I have been a client of Dr. Biana’s for over 5 years, during this time she has helped me through some of my darkest times. She has always found time to fit me in last minute as well as been very understanding when I have had to cancel last minute, since my profession doesn’t allow me to have a set weekly schedule. She is honest, straight forward and has definitely shown me a different perspective on situations where I might not have been in the right and shown me how to confront and deal with some difficult situations. The one thing I will say is, she is not a BS therapist, who will coddle you through an issue or tell you fluff just make you feel better. Since I have been with Dr. Biana, I have grown more with her than with any of my previous therapists and helped me find the tools I need to navigate through my depression.

First things first, I have never ever written a bad review about a business in the past. Not because, I have never ever encountered bad service before, but because I’ve never wanted to be THAT guy. You know, that annoying guy who complains about his food or sends it back. Whenever I encounter bad service I 98% let it go (giving them the benefit of the doubt… thinking «Oh well, maybe they are having a bad day. I’m sure this isn’t who they really are.»). So the fact that I’m writing this review should not only speak volumes in general, but it should hopefully help validate my review.
Now on to the actual review…
Dr. Biana Bochkur was the only bad therapist I’ve ever met. She was extremely cold… almost robotic, which is the last thing you want to have in a therapist. Moreover, being the guy that I am (as described in the first paragraph, I give people multiple chances) I waited to properly assess her practice until after a few sessions with her… in spite of picking up on these same issues during our first session. I’ve seen therapist since childhood and not one has ever rubbed me the wrong way like she has. Furthermore, Biana never seemed to be engaged in the conversations you were having with her… which was later proven because she would say something completely different from session to session (as if not remembering what she advised to you prior). Also whenever I asked her to call my primary care physician during my session with her she went about it in a way as if I was inconveniencing her… IN GENERAL, that was her overall energy as a person… «cold/you’re inconveniencing me/you’re boring me.»
Most importantly, during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had in years, she agreed that I needed to come into the office only to cancel that same day on me.
In short, I’m writing this review because it is important that when dealing with a patient’s health and wellbeing, a therapist should not act as and have the qualities that Biana Bochku has.
