Gold Mitzi, PHD

Life is tough at times and when I’m down, I’m a believer in positive healing with some form of psychological, spiritual or even physic guidance to help me make better decisions or to see a clearer picture in life.
I was very lucky to have met Dr. Gold who has introduce so many different approaches in dealing with life and it’s emotions. I met her over 8 years ago, and whenever times got tough, I often think about her teachings — from books she recommended (what you feel, you can heal — highly recommend it), the power of the Bach Flower Remedies, a variety of relaxing music, sound/​color therapy, John Gray books, etc. All of which have given me great insights in keeping center in my heart and focusing on the positives in life.
Since I moved to Brooklyn 5 years ago, I still stopped by to say hello when I’m visiting Honolulu. So I stopped in this past March and Dr. Gold showed me this electro-​therapy type of device which put me into an instant alpha state of mind. It was pretty amazing, I felt amazing and so relaxed. It’s pricey but I love how gentle the effect is so I’m considering it. And I think that is the foundation of her work — she is suggestive yet leaves everything open for interruption, that definitely plays an important role for me to accept new things, I have to know I chose it for myself.
There’s a real charm about visiting Kilohana Square. Your mood quickly changes as you walk up those steps — cute little plants hanging, the sound of the waterfall and wind chimes prepare you take a slower step in life. Then there’s soothing music, a serene yet grand décor, and the aromatherapy scents are instantly calming.
My favorite part of Dr. Gold’s office is the variety of teas to chose from! I discover something new every time. it’s always a pleasure. Thank you for your wisdom!

I have known Dr. Gold for over twenty years. I have referred several clients to her for relationship counseling over the years, and they have been extremely satisfied with the results. For one thing, she has a variety of approaches and tools and can really see each person as an individual with specific needs. She is compassionate and patient. She is always researching the latest therapeutic tools and blends many healing modalities in order to best serve each person. I heartily recommend Dr Gold to couples and individuals who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Gold for years, and we have been very pleased with every interaction we’ve had with her.
My husband and I were experiencing some challenges with our communication, and were referred to her by another couple whose marriage she had helped save. We saw amazing results after just a few sessions. We continued to see her every week for a year and found our marriage in the best shape it had ever been in. We gradually scaled back to once a month, then every other month. Now we see her 2 to 4 times per year. I would compare it maintaining a vehicle. It’s better to take in for a tune up every few thousand miles than to wait for it to break down.
I have seen many therapists over the years. Some of them were very helpful, others were not. All of them have come and gone from my life. None of them provided the service and value that I have gotten from Dr. Gold. I can’t imagine that she will ever NOT be a part of our life.
I have referred at least a handful of people to her, and all of them have been satisfied with her services. Which isn’t to say that every relationship can be saved. Sometimes the best help she can provide is guiding your through an amicable split. I suspect that many of the folks that left harsh reviews spent one or two sessions with Dr. Gold, didn’t hear what they wanted to hear, or didn’t have their problems instantly resolved, and blamed it on the doctor.
Our marriage gets better with each passing year. In that regard, I have never been happier. I am certain that a good part of this can be attributed to the skills we have learned from our sessions with Dr. Gold.

I’m sure there are more unsatisfied client of Dr. Gold’s, that just didn’t think to leave a Unilocal review. I wish I had looked her up on this site before I wasted A LOT of money. I would give her negative stars if I could, because I got nothing out of our sessions.
Just like the other person said-​she likes to play John Gray’s videos during sessions, which we could be doing on our own time. In my case, it was several times, not just once. I went along with it at first because-she’s the expert, right? WRONG.
I went to see her because I needed help with ONE specific problem in my life, yet no matter how many times I explained that to her, it never got through to her. Now I know she was just incompetent, like the other person said. I even asked her if she’s helped anyone else with this same exact problem to see if she’s even capable of all she says she is, and she flat out lied to my face (I can tell when someone is lying)
I have insurance but my co pay was $ 20 a session. I don’t even want to think about how much time and money I wasted. Hopefully this review will save someone else from having to go through the same thing.

Worst counseling I’ve ever experienced!!! Stay away!!! Very unprofessional behavior. She played a video tape for most of one session and then pulled out her dinner (soup) to eat right in the middle of another session! I couldn’t believe it! Didn’t even apologize for the rude interruption. Her license should be taken away!

I chose Dr. Gold because I thought her Ph.D. credentials would make her a better therapist, but that proved to be false logic. I and my spouse attended several sessions, and despite several hours with us in which we were honest and forthcoming, she complete failed to identify a very serious, significant psychological problem affecting our relationship. This problem was immediately identified when we went to another therapist (because now that I understand the problem, it’s clear how this should be easily recognizable to any half-​way competent therapist), and once we started getting the help we actually needed, our problems significantly improved. In light of what we know now, her recommendations were laughable at best and dangerous at worst. If you have «fluffy» problems and you are in a mood to waste your time and money, knock yourself out, but if you have serious relationship issues, Dr. Gold is not qualified to help you address those (although she thinks very highly of herself and will tell you confidently she can). In addition, she was extremely unprofessional during sessions, often interrupting our time to take lengthy phone calls, for example, right in front of me. While I’m crying. There is no excuse for her lack of professionalism, and her incompetence. Anytime I am asked by others to provide a recommendation for a couples therapist in town, I provide them with her name as someone to be sure to avoid going to.
