Testimonials

What Other Patients Are Saying

“Dr. Specht is an exceptional doctor who helped our daughter fight her way out of a very dark place. His extensive experience with patients, like our daughter, who present with multiple diagnoses was exactly what was needed and his comforting, often humorous demeanor set us all at ease. Dr. Specht’s approach focuses not just on the patient, but also on teaching the parents how to help their child/adolescent. He was available by email/phone late in the evening.”

“Dr. Specht is a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable therapist. His ability to understand adolescents and what best addresses their needs is remarkable. He goes out of his way for his patients and their families. He has a unique way of interacting with his patients that puts them at ease while at the same time effectively addressing their mental health issues. He has been a trusted advisor and coach for our family and made a significant positive impact on our son.”

“Dr. Specht changed my son’s life. My son had been misdiagnosed for years. A year ago we thought we were losing him and today he is heading to college, getting straight As, and has a focus and insight into his life well beyond his years, all thanks to Dr. Specht.”

“I can not recommend Dr. Specht enough! He helped my son so much with his generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. Up until we found Dr. Specht he had gone to several counselors that had not helped very much. Dr. Specht’s treatment plan helped my son tremendously. He has minimal symptoms now. He definitely was very instrumental in changing my son’s life. We will always be grateful to him for all he did.”

“I have spent my entire life going through doctors/therapists, who through my experience seem to be mostly biased and ignorant to any outside opinions. Dr. Specht is straightforward with you. No judgment. No BS. He is a man of great intelligence and highly respected in psychology. He also has many unique ways of using conditioning as a strategy to help people move past things that are unnatural to the person, yet are holding people back from everything life has to offer.”
