Well educated and great listening skills. I was nervous about online counseling however Mr. Finkbiner quickly calmed my concerns and has been a tremendous help in learning coping and decision making skills. I highly recommend and appreciate him.

Jeffrey has been immensely helpful in helping me feel better overall. I had come to him at a time when I was dealing with great loss on multiple levels. I have a tendency to spiral and focus on areas outside of my control and he has helped me see that, and the spots where I'm getting stuck and the patterns that surround them so I am now able to see that and redirect that energy. I would highly recommend him.

Therapy has helped me through an incredibly painful time. I continue because it is helping me become my best self, reminds me I matter, and teaches me coping skills to get through life. It keeps me accountable as well. I am so grateful I started. It’s not always easy but it’s worth it.

Wow. How lucky I am to have Jeff Finkbiner as my therapist. He is a great listener, allowed me always to come to my own conclusions. He speaks directly and truthfully and can re-direct the therapy conversation until true progress is emerging in the session. Jeff is straight-forward and the kind of person who is interested in seeing your progress. His mind never seems idle, and is very kind as well. I believe he wants you to practice what you learn.
Personal example...
After a lot of frustrating starts, I finally came to appreciate in therapy how it was me - most often pointing fingers at others (such as my wife, my boss, etc.) rather than changing my own behavior and looking at my own thoughts. I learned how to begin telling the truth to myself and others. I began learning that there were aspects of my personality and my unclear boundaries that made life problematic for me, especially in my marriage. I had been in therapy many times before with other therapists and I never had those insights delivered to me. I learned from Jeff that seeking validation from others is a slippery slope when it comes to building my self-worth. I highly recommend this fine therapist and gentleman.

Jeff is fab. He listens so well validates how you feel. At the same time - he’s never afraid to question your beliefs. He also gives a different perspective on things and it’s super refreshing

It’s been several months since I last connected with Jeff. I cannot express how valuable my discussions with him were. His techniques for being mindful, reframing anxious situations and understanding how to interpret anxious feelings have positively impacted me in many ways. I am able to pinpoint my anxious feelings and better understand the triggers for them. Most importantly, by acknowledging the feelings I have them less and am able to carry out daily activities like driving, transit with much more ease than I could before I met with Jeff last fall. I’m grateful for the tools he added to my toolbox and highly recommend him.

Jeffrey doesn't tell you what you want to hear but what you need to really think about. He has actually made me realize subtly some of the things that have happened in my past that affect who I am and where I am today ... he is working with me and I don't feel alone in my emotions as much and hiding them. He has made me think about what I am doing as I am doing it, which has helped a lot.

Jeffrey is a professional. He's on time and timely. Beyond that, he approaches sessions with a more personal approach, though not through compromise of his professionalism. He's friendly, kind, thoughtful, and listens to my issues. He's intuitive. He validates my thoughts and feelings while focusing on the positive elements of my issues. Jeffrey helps me better understand what I do and, more importantly, why I might be doing it.
