Jonathan Leigh Sulkin, PHD

Dr. Sulkin uses social/group therapy. On paper this looks good, but in reality his approach isn't very effective. He seems more concerned with talking about himself and insulting "norms" than actually helping anybody. If he does help someone it appears to be a byproduct of his primary objective: feeding his own ego. He offers very progressive advice that often would not be considered socially acceptable. He has a very unhealthy approach to group therapy and tries to maintain an uncomfortable amount of control. I know multiple people who see or have seen Dr. Sulkin and none of them have found any significant help or growth. After several months of seeing Dr. Sulkin I decided to seek a new therapist. He became quite insulted and lashed out in a childish way. The type of behavior I'd expect from a child. Not and adult and a professional therapist.

I have been seeing Dr. Sulkin for several years and also participate in Group Therapy with Saratoga Center for Social Therapy. Dr. Sulkin has been extremely helpful in helping me finally get a grip on past trauma and abuse and recognize how it effects my interactions with all people in my life today (including negative self-talk). He has been a great life coach and has been supportive in my desire to connect more fully with the world around me. His approach is non-traditional, and he isn't afraid to call you out on behaviors that are non conducive to building full and meaningful relationships with the people around you. This might some offputting for those "social norms" that like a more traditional approach, but Dr. Jonathan's approach worked very well with me!

I am not surprised about the range of reviews for Jonathan Sulkin. He is not warm and fuzzy, but what I needed was someone to challenge me in a direct way. Jonathan shares stories about himself, which helped me feel more accepting of whom I am. If you are serious about change, give him a try.

A horrible experience. This man is rude, disrespectful and an ego maniac. I would never let my family or friends go near him.
