I've had several therapists over the course of my life and Dr. Jareb is hands-down the best I've ever worked with. She truly listens and makes me feel like she gets where I'm coming from. She has helped me deal with my anxiety and depression, using not just CBT but a broad range of therapeutic skills. She makes me feel incredibly safe in our sessions and ends almost every one by asking me how I felt about the work that we did. She can occasionally be a little bit flaky, but no more so than any other human being. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

When you start out with her she is helpful but as time goes on she beats a dead horse to death. Says the same things over and over and gets stuck in her own techniques. Also does not give you a realistic time to end therapy and when I left there was no meeting to tie things up and bring everything to a close. I would not go back to her.

Dr. Jareb is one of the best therapists I have worked with in over 20 years of on-off treatment. She is extremely knowledgable and constantly learning/recommending learning opportunities for her patients to understand their issues and help with their own recovery. She is smart, but not intimidating. She is kind, but delivers necessary pushback/encouragement to keep therapy moving forward. She is available and accessible and I trust her. She has made my world better.

I've been seeing Dr. Jareb for over a year now. I was referred to her by Dr. Norman Rosenthal during one of the worst periods of my life. Compared to that time, I am world's away in a much happier place and continue to improve with each session. Dr. Jareb is both insightful and emphatic as we work of a wide variety of topics. I'm thankful to be her client and truly value her expertise.

Dr. Jareb helped me through the absolute toughest time in my life. She gave me a diagnosis, helped me find a great psychiatrist, and taught me coping strategies and techniques. She keeps up with the latest research and has given me great advice. She has been instrumental in helping me work out many issues and situations in my life. I've been seeing her for several years and will continue to see her as long as I need to. I'm truly grateful for her and for the things she has helped me overcome and cope with and how she has helped me learn skills that have empowered me to live a good life in spite of my challenges. By the way, the low rating you see for staff is due to the fact that she works alone and the rating scale doesn't take into account the fact that a doctor might not have a staff.

I find Dr. Jareb to be both empathetic and constructive. She asks you in the beginning what your goals are (she specializes in cognitive therapy), and if you have specific goals she holds you to them - in other words, she'll let you talk a little about what's on your mind but then lead you back to techniques and practices to help you deal with those situations in the future. I really appreciate that, as someone who has found past therapy to be wandering and aimless. I'm already making progress.

Just average in knowledge and empathy Somewhat helpful but too perfectionist to make a difference
