Bonnie Gould RN, MFT

I can’t say enough about this therapist. Bonnie was referred to me by a friend to help with parenting and couples issues and for stress coping and mood issues. She has been thoughtful and consistently gives actionable ideas to give me a starting point to work from. She also gave me a referral for a psychiatrist since she doesn’t manage prescriptions and as a therapist she is open, non-​judgmental and trustworthy. I recently referred a friend who is an adult on the autism spectrum to her because I trust her and know that she would refer them to someone else if it wasn’t a fit between them.
I am sure more people would review therapists if there weren’t still a bit of stigma in admitting that you need help from time to time. So let my review stand for those who want to remain anonymous and wouldn’t post here.

i would not recommend ms. gould to anyone. i called ms. gould regarding my child possibly having depression. i told ms. gould that depression runs in in the family, as well as bi-​polar. ms. gould told me on the phone ~ before the scheduled visit~ she would be able to assess this within 2 – 3 visits with my teenager~ and refer to a psychiatrist if needed. after 11 visits ~no referral, so i call ms. gould. she simply told me my child was having «communication» issues with me and my husband ~“normal teenager stuff.” ~ when i asked if we could join a session she informed me that my child did not want that. when i asked about a psych referral she told me she was still «evaluating» that. when i reminded her that she said after~ 2 – 3 appointments she would know whether to refer to a psychiatrist~(my chlld had seen ms. gould 11 times) she then said «ok, i can give you a referral to a psychiatrist.»
i found a psychiatrist after much research~ who quickly diagnosed my child ~ she is bi polar with anxiety. my child is on 3 medications. undiagnosed bi polar is very serious ~ these young adults can actually commit suicide if not treated. ms. gould did not help my child, if fact, grades in school were c’s and d’s ~ attitude around the house worse, not better ~ all due to ms. gould’s LACK of text book, common sense~ my teenager needed more than ms. gould could provide. due to ms. gould’s incompetence ~ my/​our child was GREATLY harmed by her «therapy»
i WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MS. GOULD’S TO ANYONE ~
as my child told me after her 11^th, and final visit to ms. gould ~ «i could have gotten more ‘therapy» talking to my friends (peers) ~ or a close friend who is 25 years old.
i am surprised to see/​read some of the many listed «interests» of ms. gould’s are~ mood disorders~ «bi polar, ” «anxiety,» and «depression.» from the above commentary i wrote~ you can draw your own conclusion
