Dr Singer displays understanding and wisdom. He does not push an idea or concept but allows you too to cede at a pace which is good for the patient. I appreciate that.

He listens, he's clear in his responses, he assures you that your thoughts are valid when you worry that they might be wrong, and he has brought things up that I've never realized even though I've been to multiple therapists over many years.

Very nice man, but like I said the two doctors have to go together between counseling and med dispensing. Dr singer has openings but Rachel does not have openings they go hand in hand.

Al took a great deal of time sorting out what needed to change before I was able to experience life as it should be lived. Al was able to move my constant anger at the past to an understanding of how things became so out of control, including my part in the mess. So Al's helping me understand why these events, which are long past, continue to be an obstruction to my daily life.

Alan is the type of therapist that makes therapy WORK! You can tell that he truly cares and you can tell he genuinely enjoys helping people. I think he would do this job for free. 10/10

Disclosures

Alan F. Singer, LCSW, PhD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
