Dr. Roger LaVine

Caring, patient and very knowledgeable. The best! I have so many good things to say about Dr. Lavine. He is kind, caring, patient, accommodating and very knowledgeable. However, if there is anything that separates him from other psychologists is that he is very smart and knowledgeable of both the neurological and psychological aspects of our mental health. I found him after trying at least 6 other psychologists over the years who were trying to help with my teen daughter’s anxiety disorder. I wasn’t sure about him because I thought maybe my daughter needed someone who was a woman, a Spanish speaker and on the younger side, someone who maybe would relate more to her, but I had tried everything, and nobody understood the gravity of her anxiety levels or was even able to gain her trust. However, we both were very impressed with him from the beginning and ended up very happy with the way he treated her. He was the only Psychologist who seemed to understand what she was going through and why she would somatize her emotions so much, as well as the importance of treating that aspect too to get better. She finally seemed to improve, and he also realized that part of the problem was the way I was managing her anxiety (and mine). He worked with me too, and that probably had the biggest impact on her. Our mother-daughter relationship has turned into a source of comfort and support for her, instead of a source of more anxiety. So, if you are looking for someone to help you with whatever your mental health is at, he has the experience and the empathy you need. Good luck!

I just had a first appointment with Dr.LaVine and I really like his method of healing.I feel like there is a hope for me to get better.
