Racine Anxiety

"I don’t usually write reviews but I think gratitude is definitely warranted as far as Dr. Racine is involved. I started working with Dr. Racine about 10years now with most of the work being in the first two years when my anxiety was at its highest point. We worked together through everything and there was never a time that I felt that I couldn’t reach out and ask her for help. It became much easier to deal with my anxiety. After that we meet occasionally just to refresh thought processes we have worked on or a rough patch if I have one. It was such a game changer for me and has given me the freedom to live my best life. If you are looking for someone to help you out of the loop of worry and fear of day to day life I highly recommend reaching out and giving her a call."

"I've been a patient of Dr. Racine's for over four years, and the therapeutic relationship we've built has made a tremendous difference in my life. She has many gifts, and I'm quite lucky to get to benefit from them! In terms of scheduling and communication, Dr. Racine has always been very responsive, flexible, dependable and punctual. During sessions, she allows space for me to lead the conversation if I have things to get off my chest, while still guiding me and keeping me solution-focused. Even when I go into an appointment feeling I have nothing to say, I always leave with the feeling that the session was greatly productive! When I first started seeing Dr. Racine, she took the time to foster an environment of trust, support and compassion; free from harshness or judgment. Her ability to constantly maintain this environment, while still holding me accountable and encouraging my personal autonomy, is really special. When I talk, Dr. Racine LISTENS. I've had therapists in the past who did most of the talking, barely allowing me to finish a thought before jumping in with opinions, personal stories, and advice. Dr. Racine does not do this! She lets me speak as long as I need to and asks thoughtful follow-up questions; she wants to know more so that she can truly understand and help me. In fact, she does this so well that I often find the answers I need through my own responses to her questions. Through my experience with Dr. Racine, I've learned a plethora of coping skills and strategies to improve my well-being. Application of these strategies is positively reinforced, and successes celebrated. I've gained more confidence in my abilities and more self-acceptance, as well as acceptance of others, because of the work Dr. Racine has done with me. I am forever grateful for the immense positive impact her care has had on my mental health."

"Dr. Racine has been treating my oldest daughter for several years now and the experience has been great. Though we initially sought treatment for anxiety and OCD issues, Dr. Racine has helped her through a variety of other issues including challenges with school, friends and even the loss of her mother. Throughout all of my daughter's challenges, Dr. Racine has been very kind and understanding. My daughter views her as a friend, not as a provider. Dr. Racine's treatment is outcome focused and my daughter trusts her methods and looks forward to her sessions. Dr. Racine is also very good at communicating with me both in letting me know what they are working on and in listening to my concerns. She does not lecture and she is very empathetic in all of my dealings with her. I find her to be very pragmatic and I think, as a parent, she is a delight to work with. I love how she brings me in at the end of every session as this has not been my experience with some other providers. This really makes me feel like my daughter's care is collaborative and that Dr. Racine also understands the challenges the parents can face as well. I highly recommend Dr. Racine to anyone seeking treatment for anxiety."

"I've been seeing Dr. Racine for over a year now. As the first therapist I have ever worked with, I've got to say she's set the bar very high. Throughout our interactions, she has been professional, kind, and thoughtful. Our sessions definitely feel like a safe space for me to talk and work through all things, big or small. The advice that I've gotten from her has helped me continuously improve myself and how I handle daily challenges. I can absolutely see the impact she's had on me, and couldn't recommend her more. Thank you so much for your work, Dr. Racine!"

"Dr. Racine has helped my family navigate a very difficult time in our lives. She has always been available for questions, consulted with other providers and has given us the steadfast support and expertise we need to move forward. I am SO grateful for her guidance. The positive impact she's had on my family has improved the quality of our lives greatly!"
