Dr. Carrigan is incredible. You can absolutely tell she cares about you. I feel so blessed to have her as my therapist. If you are going through a difficult time, or even if youre not and you just want someone wonderful who will listen AND give you useful advice and be frank when its needed. Who has the tools to actually help you improve your ability to live your life with joy. Look no further. I started off as a client/patient, and I most definitely think of her as a dear friend even though all our sessions have been remote and weve never met in person. You will not regret meeting with her!
Dr. Carrigan is one in a million! Shes amazing. Ive been going to her for 10 years and shes helped me through so many things. I can tell her anything without fear of being judged. Another reviewer said shes not just a therapist but also like a life coach and that is absolutely 100% true! I get so much out of every appointment and always leave with a completely different perspective/outlook to whatever it is Im facing. I actually look forward to going to each appointment; she genuinely cares about helping people and is fun to be around, yet always maintains professionalism. Dont know where Id be with out her!
She is very empathetic and will try her best to see your situation through your eyes to help or guide you towards a more fruitful life.
Dr. Carrigan has not just guided me through difficult times, but stood by my side every step of the way. With her guidance, motivation, wisdom, empathetic kindness, skills and professionalism Dr. Carrigan is a true life saver and angel. Thank you kindly for all the work you do with so much compassion and caring.
I am a new patient and because of Covid my appointment was over the phone. Dr. Carrigan is so warm and friendly that I immediately felt at ease and working with her is a pleasure. She immediately responded to my first email and everything was taken care of very quickly after that.
She makes you feel very comfortable to be able to relax and honestly say what is on ones mind. She has very extensive training and an excellent background.
I picked Shahin Carrigan because she is Iranian and my wife preferred to see a Farsi speaking MFT. She was not impartial or fair at all. My perception of her is that she is biased and egocentric; she was more concerned to prove her point and that she was right about her assessment of the situation (even if wrong) than to listen and try to solve the problem for which we were seeking her help. Our visits with her were not only a complete waste of time and money, but we are in a much worse situation than we were before going to her. I dont recommend her as an MFT.
I would best describe Dr. Carrigan as an angel / life coach put on earth to help people and guide them back on track. I actually came across Dr. Carrigan by referral from two different friends (separate instances) who absolutely adored her. Both were going through extremely rough times and like I mentioned she guided them back to happiness. It was without a doubt that I called her when I too was going through a rough patch. She did not disappoint. What is disappointing was this review I came across from down below, while I was looking up her address to send her thank you flowers. From my experience Dr. Carrigan truly listened and was completely neutral, professional, mature and most importantly nonjudgmental. It was my safe place and every time I left, I had a piece of happiness and peace back into my life. She has this wisdom and perspective thats really eye opening and thats what its about right, thinking about things in a different light because if you didnt see things with perspective and an open mind why would you be looking for outside help. Sounds like Moe is the biased one if you ask me.Anyways back to how great Dr. Carrigan is it was a year ago that our paths crossed and it was through this experience that I know that no matter how bad it can get, there are people like Dr. Carrigan that can help you dust yourself off and get help get you back up. That gives me so much hope not only for me, but for other people who find themselves at a dead end. I was actually very sad when it came time for me to say goodbye as I was in a great place and I knew it would be selfish of me to take up another appointment if I really didnt need the help anymore. Since then I have also referred her to my friends and family, who have in turn thanked me for connecting them.
