Sadly, I’ll be echoing most of the reviews here. I regret to say that my experience with therapist Ildiko Tabori was exceedingly disappointing. Frankly, I question whether she has the basic skill set in kindness required to be a server in a restaurant, let alone serve as a professional therapist.

My first impression was marred by her utter lack of professionalism. She would commence our sessions by eating, which was not only distracting but also blatantly disrespectful. Therapy is supposed to be a sacred space for healing, and her behavior detracted from that ideal.

Her overall attitude was both combative and arrogant, which made our sessions feel more like confrontations than opportunities for growth. A therapist should ideally be a neutral party who facilitates meaningful dialogue, but with Ms. Tabori, I felt like I was walking into an emotional battleground.

One particularly troubling aspect of her practice was her habit of using her own life as the "baseline for normal." For me, this was disconcerting and wholly inappropriate. A therapist should not impose their own life circumstances as a metric for their clients' well-being.

The culmination of these ongoing issues reached a boiling point in our final session. I found myself compelled to raise my voice and I ended up disconnecting the Zoom call abruptly. This was an unprecedented action for me in any therapeutic relationship I’ve ever been a part of. This was the last straw in what felt like a string of unprofessional and detrimental behaviors.

My interactions with her felt more akin to a dysfunctional relationship than a therapeutic alliance, and for this reason, I cannot recommend her services for anyone seeking mental health support. It is my experience that Ildiko does more damage, than repair.

I recently started working with Dr. Tabori. I have made more progress with her than I have with any other therapist. She was there when I had a really big trauma in my life and was patiently guided me through it. I am happy I found her

I've known Dr. Tabori for many years and find her to be kind and attentive. She's always been a good listener and provides solid advice.

I have made more progress in 6months of therapy with Dr. Tabori than I have with any other therapist. She pushes me when I need to be pushed and gently supports me when I need it, too. She has empowered me to dig deep in myself and learn to speak up, ask for what I need. She is strong (she is a cancer-survivor) and dedicated. Since I started seeing her, I let go of a bad relationship and my career in entertainment has flourished. I feel like I wasted a lot of time with other therapists who were nice, but not effective. If you really want to work through your cr*p, this is the shrink to work with you.

I have been seeing Dr. Tabori for many years now. I can confidently say she is the best for me, and maybe for you too. Dr. Tabori challenges you, and based on the reviews before me, these individuals appear to be angered by her ability to help you face reality. I have struggled with being open and honest in therapy all my life. There are only 2 therapists that actually worked for me: one in college that had to abruptly move out of state, and Dr. Tabori. The two had one thing in common: no nonsense and a passion for helping you understand yourself. Yes, there are therapists that hold your hand, tell you what you want to hear, and hope that in due time you will become happier. If that’s what you’re looking for, maybe she’s not for you… or maybe you need that and have to stop lying to yourself and get uncomfortable. As much as I thought I wanted those gentle therapists, I found I could not improve or understand myself. Some of my past therapists I adore to this day, but their kindness actually made it harder for me to share because I felt being open would make them judge or feel different about me.

This isn’t to say she isn’t kind or gentle. She is, when she knows it’s needed. If something traumatic happened to you, she will be gentle, thoughtful, and caring. She will also empower you and never ever has she shamed me for my poor decisions or trauma. She’s the real deal, and will not shy away from the truth to ultimately help improve your quality of life.

stay far far away. all the negative reviews are true. she does more harm than good and should not call herself a therapist. she insulted and yelled at me in my first session, digging the knife further into some of my biggest insecurities. this woman is beyond unethical I am shocked she still has her license

Ildiko: the most rude , and condescending person I’ve interacted with on the phone with, and I work in entertainment. Didn’t even get past the consultation.

You will leave more traumatized than you came in - this woman is a menace to society. I had such a bizarre experience with her. She spent the first 15 minutes of the session reading over my referral from the neurologist and the second 30 minutes arguing with me about why the neurologist referred me (Obviously not my area of expertise nor my decision).
I came to her looking for healing and left with more issues than i walked in with.

I had a bad feeling from the get go. I stuck to her because I really needed support. I rarely felt good after each session. She talks about herself and her life tremendously. She’s very cold and confrontational. I just told her I’m done and I am so happy I did especially when I just read her awful reviews. I have wasted money and time with this cruel woman.
