Carol Garfinkle Psy.D. - Canton, Massachusetts

Many years ago, I knew I needed to see a therapist for depression, anxiety and trauma but kept putting it off. I was nervous, scared and uncertain about therapy and discussing very personal issues with someone. I finally reached out to Dr. Garfinkle this past year. It was one of the smartest things I have ever done. She created an environment in her office where it was so comfortable and natural to discuss difficult issues. I was surprised how emotional I was at time. She listened attentively and is non-judgemental and I felt she really cared about helping me. She has a lot of experience and I really appreciated her guidance, insight, questions and advice which helped me to start to heal. I truly enjoy my interaction with Dr. Garfinkle and would highly recommend her if you need therapy.

Carol has been a source of strength for me since I first met with her 8 years ago. I had seen other therapists in the past but had not worked with anyone that seemed as genuinely interested in helping, guiding, and teaching me how to cope with the present and be able to move forward. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field and is able to help all different personalities, ages, and situations. Carol is honest without judgement. Her concern for individuals continues past the appointments and four walls. For eight years she has been the reason I have been able to ride this roller-coaster called my life!

I cannot imagine a more effective therapist than Dr Carol Garfinkle. She is warm and non-judgmental, as well as authentic, interactive, and really smart. She put many different specific tools in our toolbox which has helped completely transform our relationship as a couple and as parents. She has been a great guide asking questions to help us figure out what we want to do, as well as how to communicate more openly and safely with each other. She never took sides and we laughed together as much as we cried. We highly recommend her!

Dr Carol is joy to work with. She has away about her that puts children at ease. Offers them a safe environment so that patients may feel comfortable to open up. Dr Carol is also caring and accommodating. She always seems to make herself available when you feel you need advice. Dr Carol allows us to work around school schedules and work schedules. Working with her over the years has been a true blessing.

Carol is a gifted, brilliant therapist and a most exceptional person. She is caring, candid and compassionate, thoughtful and thought-provoking, sincere, supportive and sensitive. You'll get honest observations and comments, but you won't feel judged. You'll find your effort and your commitment will rise to match the energy she puts in to you. She will work to earn your trust and, when she does, she will work tirelessly to help you.

Carol is the rare person who makes everything and everyone around her better. I don't know what hard, difficult challenge may bring you in to her office; I do know that you will leave it a more effective, more complete, more ready person than when you arrived.

In 2014, after being married for 22 years, our marriage began to crumble. Neither of us were happy and we were not communicating with each other. We began seeing Dr Garfinkle every week, and we learned how to understand each other better and how to communicate our feelings peacefully. Now we are stronger and happier than ever! Dr Garfinkle is very warm, compassionate and smart1 We are so grateful for all her help. We HIGHLY recommend her.

Dr Garfinkel helped steer our troubled teen daughter in the right direction. In 2009 when our daughter was 16 she ran away from home and moved in with her alcoholic, 21 year old boyfriend. She was planning to quit school and move to Florida with him. We were devastated and did not know how to get her back. Dr. Garfinkle came to the rescue. Through several emergency group therapy sessions, we were able to understand each other better and communicate better with each other. She peacefully returned home within a week and began seeing Dr G regularly. She is now due to receive her Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering in May, 2016!
