Howard was instrumental in my "late in life" development. He offers profound insights and tools to work through the issues. I credit my years of Counseling with Howard to my personal and professional success.

Going to see Dr. Sattler was one of the best things I have ever done. He is highly intelligent, intuitive and he cares about people. I would and I have recommended Dr. Sattler. I am so fortunate that he helped me.

I never leave reviews, but my two visits with Howard were deeply upsetting. He clearly has been in practice for a long time, which led him to casual sexism (such as telling me that women don't usually have trouble with being overachievers at work and that I might someday find value in motherhood), as well as invalidation (such as telling me that my diagnosis was wrong). While he's probably a nice guy in life, he's not a good therapist.

They answered hardly any of my questions, leaving me confused and frustrated at the end of our session. They didn't follow through with almost everything they told me I would get when I first arrived. I feel like they slighted me. I appreciated that they were still concerned about my health even after I left the office. They followed up with me after my appointment and everything. It was not easy to reach them in an emergency. I had to call several times before I finally reached them.

Howard is not a practicioner of CBT. This is specifically what attracted me to him and he actually turned out to be a "let's her you talk" kind of therapist. I had to ask him for things to do. All in all it was a bad experience for me. He's not a good therapist
