Waska Robert PHD

Dr. Waska was incredibly misattuned during session and seemed to lack the most basic requirements of any therapist worth their salt: empathy and compassion. He was outwardly judgmental and offered «interpretations» that were so steeped in his own projections, it seems clear that the greatest service this field has offered him is a tidy excuse to avoid doing his own work. Lastly, his approach is extremely outdated and relies on a dangerous patriarchal orientation that somehow ignores all psychological scholarship and progress in the last 20 years. Misapplied and recklessly implemented psychoanalytic approaches like his continue to be the greatest detriment to real healing and good therapeutic practice. Shame on you, Dr. Waska.

This man is unbelievably mean. I don’t understand how someone like him becomes a therapist. I left my first session in tears.

Absolute quack. Won’t take insurance unless he deems you have a disorder like anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. during your first one hour session. He takes photos of your hand written address, social and birthday. I have been being treated for anxiety, depression, etc. and clinically diagnosed over the past 15 years, and he is going to diagnose me (he’s not an MD) during a one hour session to see if your insurance will pay for your visit. quack, quack, quack. Stay away at all costs!!!

Robert Waska has to be the most arrogant, worst, Psychologist in the city, stay clear of him at all costs.
I was referred to him by my insurance company. He was extreemly inflexible when it came to booking an appointment. When he finally insisted on a date, he asked for a credit card number, which I provided. He then told me it would be $ 125 for the appt. I explained that I was referred to him by my insurance company. He became very annoyed and said, «oh, you’re going to use insurance? Well then, I will have to evaluate you and it will go on your record as a mental condition.» I couldn’t believe that he said that, this is obviously for couples counseling and has nothing to do with a mental condition. After a few more minutes of him making me feel like crap, I said «Thank you for your time but this is not going to work out.» He was livid, «What? Why isn’t it going to work out?» I said that I no longer felt comfortable talking with him, and THEN HE HUNG UP ON ME! Wow, the lack of professionalism is insane! Clearly he isn’t used to being fired and is used to bullying people to get his way.
DO NOT HIRE THIS IMBECILE, you will regret it!
