I started seeing Dr. Lensky a couple of months ago right before an emerging crisis. I had never seen a psychiatrist before so I was apprehensive. She was recommended by my therapist. I like her approach--she is direct and keeps me on track during sessions, but in a caring, not domineering way. I feel she is responsive and informative to my questions, knowledgeable, and not dismissive about my feelings regarding my care. I really appreciated her attention a few times in which she went beyond what I expected when I was having particular difficulty.

I found her to be judgemental and uninterested in actually knowing me. She judged me for being unable to hold down a job because of a disorder she had failed to diagnose and said something like "just get a job" I did not get a diagnosis when I should have, perhaps because she didn't really ask any questions. I didn't realize how bad she was until I got another psychiatrist. Arguably her negligence impacted my life incredibly negatively over a period of years. I'm giving her two stars because she was sometimes pleasant.

I honestly think she is not really looking to provide continued care to clients.
Appears that the scheme that she is running is to schedule the more profitable intake appointment and then at the end of such appointment to respectfully state that you are not a good fit.
I am going to contact my insurance companies fraud department to find out if this is a common occurrence.

Incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. I have had this lady literally roll her eyes at me for not giving her an answer that she liked. She is rude, she’ll interrupt you, and she has flat out criticized me for a poor lifestyle choice rather than responding with concern and understanding as you would expect a proper psychiatrist to. But you can’t teach compassion in med school I guess..
I highly recommend seeing ANYONE ELSE but this lady. She is a waste of time and money and you are just a number to her.

One of the worst psychiatrists ever. I assumed websites like Psychology Today would have quality people that are trying to help. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
She seems to have her own agenda. Every time I tried to talk about my problem, she kept interrupting and asking the same questions countless of times, and I felt that she wasn't even hearing what I had to say. She went back and forth on questions, which I assume is for analyzing my issue. She even asked, "why are you seeking help," which is great and all, but she would interrupt my answer with another question. Galina kept

Horrible doctor. She barely listens to you as she keeps asking the same questions numerous times. Most of the positive reviews comes from family or friends of the doctor. Funny how the one other negative comment has more reviews than her so-called “good” reviews.
Don’t be fooled by this quack. She just wants your money.

I had made an appointment and cancelled on the same day as I found someone else who could see me sooner. It seems that this doctor doesn't check messages or voicemails as I just got a confirmation for an appointment which was cancelled the same day it was booked. Highly unprofessional to not respect my wishes and push for me as a client when I already explained you are not a good fit for me and I'm already seeing someone else. After doing research online, I found someone who is much better equipped to help with my anxiety and health issues. On top of that- someone from the office was supposed to

Galina has helped me so much and really respects me as a client and understands my needs. She is super patient and tries to help you get to where you need to be. She has kept in contact with my therapist as well to ensure that I am getting the best health care I can get. Very good doctor and seems to actually care about my health. It's unfortunate that insurance can't be taken (but this is the same with almost every psychiatrist in the city)
