Testimonials

Dr. Dragon is an extremely skilled psychologist and has a wealth of knowledge that is brought not only to her clinical work but also to her consultations. For work that feels stuck or that is complex, a consultation provides understanding on where to refocus things, bringing new energy to treatment. Her examination of dynamics is done in an incredibly personable and empathic manner and her capacity to deeply understand some of the current blocks produces measurable shifts to the work already being done. I highly recommend her services as a boost to therapy that feels stale or in need of rejuvenation.

R.L.

Dr. Dragon brings an expertise that fuses research, data, and a psychodynamic background that helps bring insight into client presentations. She is especially skilled at helping with some of the most exacting cases, those where characterological issues pose challenges in therapy. Her insights are always brought in a collegial way, with a supportive and empowering perspective.

Nechama Freedman,

I met Dr. Dragon about 6 months ago and immediately found her to be a unique resource of knowledge, insight, and clinical expertise. Her therapeutic specializations have been very helpful for me as a fellow clinician. Whenever Dr. Dragon and I collaborate on a case, I feel that the clients are in expert and caring hands. I highly recommend Dr. Dragon as a consultant, supervisor, and therapist.

I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Dragon for a few years now. She has helped me deal with trauma, loss, and most recently with my pregnancy and postpartum issues all while in the middle of a pandemic. Her knowledge and ability to deliver information in a way that is practical and relatable to day to day life has been invaluable. Dr. Dragon offers the perfect blend of empathy professionalism, and humor. She has been a teacher and coach to me and will forever be grateful for my time with her.

Anonymous Client

Dr. Dragon has a very deep and thorough understanding of the human thought process and the professional experience and expertise to identify the roots of the unhealthy thought patterns and provide the patient with systematic solutions to retrain those thought patterns to live through daily life in a much healthier way. She has an incredible way with words and clearly communicates the functions of thoughts and behaviors with such incredible depth and clarity. I have seen multiple therapists previous to Dr. Dragon and she has an unparalleled skill set. She is dynamic in the support of couples as well as individuals and relates to both men and women with such depth, professionalism, and care that husbands and wives alike respect her guidance and feel the true depth of her clinical understanding. I could not possibly recommend Dr. Dragon more highly. The world needs many more of her to heal and create healthier marriages, healthier parents, and healthier people. Dr. Dragon truly enlightens patients to live life in a better way then they ever knew possible.

The most critical component of recovering from narcissistic abuse is education. With education you will gain profound clarity on the malicious and poisonous tentacles of a narcissistic relationship. With education comes a new perspective which fuels the power to leave without regret. In the process, you will rekindle the pure heart of gold that has always been within you and forge stronger and more meaningful relationships with family and friends that matter most.
