"I have been going here for about 7 years now. I absolutely love the staff. They are so helpful and accommodating when i need to switch an appointment or to cancel. I have seen 3 different therapist here and the one I have right now is really the right fit for me. He has helped me tremendously for the past 2-3 years. I have also had two nurse practitioners here. They are both great. I really recommend this place. I am so glad I found it."

"Heart and Soul has been nothing but kind to me. From the first time I called and asked questions about being in therapy. I was on the waitlist for about a week or so and once I was off the waitlist they contacted me ASAP and paired me with my therapist Louise. It has now been a year and a couple of months since I’ve been in therapy/ with heart and soul and I’m very pleased and happy to have come across them. Never had an issue with anyone. If I needed to reschedule for any reason I’d text and I’d get a reply within a couple of minutes.
I’m truly thankful for my therapist - thank you =)"

"I cannot recommend Heart and Soul enough! They have changed my life and I would refer anyone that needs help to them. I see Helen as my NP and I’ve never felt more cared about and respected as a patient. I work in mental health and I have dealt with a lot of providers who don’t show enough compassion for their clients and who do the bare minimum. Helen is NOT one of those providers. She has helped both me and me fiancé get through some of the hardest parts of our lives, and I can’t express how much I appreciate her."

"Heart and Soul counseling has saved me. I am shocked at the bad reviews. I have been a patient for a long time and see both a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a social worker here. Helen is my psych NP and is truly amazing at what she does. She has worked tirelessly to help me find a medication regimen that works for me. I will admit that I am a difficult patient in that I don't respond to meds that well but she has never given up on me like other psychiatrists have elsewhere. Heart and Soul offered genetic testing to help me find which meds will work better with my body, no where else has even mentioned that was an option.
After bouncing around to different therapists for 10 years I have finally found one here that will listen and help me. I have referred H&S to my close family and friends and everyone agrees that they are the best. I have been to multiple therapists, psychiatrists, clinics and psychiatric hospital before I found heart and soul and I'm so lucky I did. From the front staff, administrator, psych NP, and social workers, everyone here is truly amazing and CARES about you. The office has such a relaxing atmosphere as well. I am so grateful for the help I receive here."

"There are no words for me to express how invaluable Heart and Soul has been for me. I’ve been coming here for therapy and medication management on and off since 2001, and through it all Tina has been there for me. Regardless of how much time has gone by in between my treatment, she has always remembered me and treated me with respect and a genuine care for my well being. I have been consistently coming for therapy and medication management for the past 4 years, and the adjustments they have made to accommodate their clients through the pandemic have made it so easy to continue my treatment. The front desk girls and Jesse the administrator always get back to me if I have to change my appointments. They are always kind and the communication is great. I personally love that I’m able to text them if I have a situation come up. If you’re looking to make your mental health a priority as I have, this is the place to be."

"Heart and Soul Counseling Center is a place of warmth, compassion, dedication and genuine care for each of their clients. They take the time to help and provide care above and beyond anything that could ever be expected . My child made a lot of progress due to the time the counselor and nurse practitioner took to meet needs. Heart and Soul is a name that truly describes their work ethic and how they treat their clients with love and care . I would recommend Heart and Soul to anyone if they are seeking quality care from true dedicated professionals that have compassion , empathy and therapeutic expertise and will meet the needs of your families."

"I have been seeing Gretchen for a few months now. Her and the entire office staff are phenomenal. They are polite, they send a confirmation text a few days prior to your appointment to remind you. They are very prompt on returning phone calls or giving a message to the individual you are seeing and they have a sister office in West Babylon that has an equally wonderful staff. Whatever issues you are going through I would absolutely recommend Gretchen and the team."

"Loveeeee Heart and Soul!!! I’m a Transgender woman and I've been going to Heart and Soul for four years now. Seeing a gender therapist is an important part of your journey while transitioning. When I first came to Heart and Soul, my Gender Dysphoria was through the roof, and I had never met a transgender individual, but always knew I was a woman waiting to blossom. From receiving my first hormone dosage, to obtaining life-saving surgeries, Heart And Soul has always been there, championing me to become the woman they knew I was, fighting on my behalf on many occasions. I could not have transitioned, or become as happy as I am, without their support, love and counseling. This is the place to take the first to last steps in your transition."

Heart and Soul Has some of the best counseling for your needs they have been around providing Therapy and counseling for the people of Long Island since 1994 that’s a legacy they hold and trust me you won’t be disappointed, the director is so sweet and has handled any issues I’ve had with grace and fairness, you will always be greeted by a smiling staff which forms a safe investment for your treatment I honestly can’t praise this place enough I love this place and all it’s done for me."

"I began seeing Tina at Heart & Soul in 2002. I was in very bad shape after an abusive marriage, suicidal depression, and coming out. Tina and the Heart & Soul staff saved my life. Thanks to them I got the help I needed to become independent, safe and free. I learned tools to work through my depression, and began a new life. I am still in touch with and have referred many people, including family members to Heart & Soul. Professional, educated, well trained, compassionate, and wonderful therapists. I have an amazing life today and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help I received from Tina Calabrese and Heart & Soul Community Counseling."

"The most wonderful office I've ever been to. My therapist Megan is the first therapist I actually felt comfortable with after two years and six other counselors. Megan is so reassuring, understanding, kind and knowledgeable. I always look forward to my appointments instead of dreading them, or feeling like it's an obligation. She's relatable, funny and knows how to keep a session going strong so I get the most out of every minute. Dr. Thao is my psychiatrist and is so informative on medications and throrough with every visit. I trust her and know that she can help me find the best medication management. She also ends each meeting on an inspirational note, and find her level of communication so much more personal than other psychiatrists I've seen. The receptionists are always a pleasure to chat with, extremely accommodating and ALWAYS get back to me immediately. I've never felt better about an office. It's a little bit of a drive for me, but it's well worth it. I'm lucky to be a patient at Heart and Soul."

"Heart and soul, thank you so much for the gifts for my nephew E, He appreciated every single one.
E was looking at a Christmas that was going to not only be empty from loosing his mother at three years old to a lightening accident, but also with his family not being able to provide any gifts for him.
He is truly grateful to all of the secret Santas that made his Christmas special and memorable! With that being said .... After opening the gifts , while laughing with contentment and joy.... he said "let's go Mets!"

"Incredible facility. Warm, welcoming and professional. The clinicians are amazing and supportive in a wide array of conditions. I am living with bipolar disorder and an autistic child with depression. The whole family is healing with the team from Heart & Soul. I would recommend this center to anyone needing any type of mental health counsel and caring, compassionate support."

"Wow, what an uplifting experience that I had. The therapist that we were assigned to for our family was incredible, kind, smart and she really wanted to work on the issues that we were having. I'm really looking forward to our journey. Heart and Soul was warm and very inviting. The decore has a very home-like feel and not stuffy like a doctors office. Yes I would recommend this counseling center for anybody that is in need of therapy."

"I've been coming to Heart & Soul on and off for about 10 years and I've had nothing but pleasant experiences with the therapists and the rest of the staff. The only thing I would say is to extend the parking area as the center has gotten very busy in the past few years.
I think what sets Heart and Soul out from other places is that you can get an appointment quickly and if you want, they will check out your insurance coverage. It's best also to look into yourself as mental health coverage is different then your medical coverage. I would highly recommend any of the therapists at Heart & Soul to anybody that needs somebody to talk to!!"

"Absolutely no issues. They have late hours and weekend hours, they work with you because they want to help you. Brittany is amazing! Very professional, sweet and does what she can to get you an appointment. Only downside is the parking. Ugh, only about six spaces but other than that no issues!"
