I call him a UNICORN because it is impossible to find a doctor who actually truly cares. Within 20 minutes of our first session I knew he was the real deal. He is 100% there with you and invested in everything you say. He realized things about me in 10 minutes that I never recognized. Ever.

I was always very skeptical of therapy. My skepticism disappeared at our first meeting. The sessions resemble a friendship more than a one-sided doctor-patient relationship. As of today, I have been sober for one year. Dr. T has taught me how to be a better self, friend and, eventually, father. I may not begin every session with a smile, but I always leave with one.

In just one session he managed to read me like a book and entirely changed my perspective. In my ten years of therapy, it only took Dr. T one session to make a breakthrough.

Dr. Tamerin has taught me that there is great satisfaction in acknowledging less than ideal human conditions and working through them without shame or stigma. John leads by example, using his personal life's challenges as a guide. His heart is huge, his life is real, and John often shares tears with his patients.

I am a 10x happier person this year than I was last. My good days strongly outweigh the bad. My milestone was realizing I had not cried in many months where this time last year I would have a crying breakdown almost every day. These tools Dr. T taught me I will carry for the rest of my life.
