This is my psychologist, and is the best and most effective one Ive ever had. I like that she will talk about the neuroscience behind why you do things and think the way you do. Shes helped me a lot and Ive found that she gives me ideas for actions I can take to improve my condition, something Ive not found with other psychologists Ive had. I also like that she is also a performance enhancement coach (or something like that), which means shes kind of got a path shes leading you along to a destination and believes youre willing to do some work on your own to get better (she suggested I meditate during the week to change my brainwaves and have better control over my thoughts and emotional state and talked with me about the science behind it). I think the other psychologists Ive had just wanted to help me cope with a medical condition that cant be changed by anything but meds (and they seemed surprised if I actually did anything they suggested between appointments, so perhaps it was their clientele that gave them that expectation). With Dr. Alchin, Ive found that there are things I can do on my own that will help me get better in addition to seeing her for counseling, and I am very happy with her services. In our appointments, I feel like Im talking with a friend--an educated, intelligent friend who is interested in really helping me. I even report what Ive learned about the brain and behavior to my family members when I get home and they all think shes a genius for knowing so much helpful information that even applies to them. I cant express in words how grateful I am to have her as my doctor and how hopeful I feel about my future because of her assistance. Im feeling SO much better with her treatment, even though my meds situation with my other doctor isnt going well. She is very empowering and I honestly know I can do things to help myself and make things better. I wasnt going to bother with a psychologist, but decided to try her out anyway, and I think shes helping more than my psychiatrist, and thats pretty amazing for the conditions I happen to have (severe depression, OCD, anxiety), since (as I mentioned before) Im not having much success with the meds Im taking. Anyway, I recommend her unreservedly. Im much happier as a result of having her help.

I was hoping the combo of life coach and psychologist would offer a great experience but I was charged $165 for one appointment/initial visit. I had filled out all my insurance information before the session and was still charged. This was a very high amount for a short visit. Dr. Alchins phone rang during the appointment and we discussed some of her previous weight issues/neuroscience programming. I felt it was awkward and not focused on the reason I was there/relevant to my situation. Dr. Alchin is very nice/friendly but I didnt get anything out of the appointment but a big bill.

Someone who I can actually talk to. She decodes your thoughts and helps you become more self aware. A great person who cares!
