β β β β β I worked with Harry for 4 years. Harry is a very kind and empathetic individual but he pushes you to make meaningful change. I found our weekly meeting challenging and often draining but they taught me a lot about who I am and what I'm good at. I was recommended by one of Harry's patients. I wasn't a very confident individual and that unfortunately this affected my public and private life. Treatment made me a more confident person and I was able to use what I learned to improve my career and my personal life and I'm happier because of it. I have recommended Harry to other people and I will do so again.

β β β β β I'm not sure where the positive reviews are coming from, and perhaps this was not the right fit for me. While I was encouraged in the first few sessions to solve the root cause of my problems, I felt the opposite as the sessions progressed. First, I felt like I listened more to "Dr" Potasznik's problems and stories than him to mine. Second, he talked about other patients, which makes me wonder if I was the subject to others. It was also uncomfortable because some stories were difficult to hear. Third, he made assertive assumptions about my mental state, family, and relationships within the first TWO sessions, without having all of the details or the big picture on hand yet. Fourth, I found him to be careless and unconcerned, especially when he read something wrong from his notes about me. Fifth, the amount of swearing I heard during my sessions was extremely unprofessional - I think he needs to realize that he is seeing patients, not his friends. Finally, he has a very one-sided way of thinking and downright dismissed a strategy I inquired about that was helpful for me. I'm glad that other people found him helpful, but I find it very hard to believe the positive reviews. Please think carefully when considering his services.

β β β β β I am grateful to Dr. Potasznik who has been in my life for over a dozen years. He was instrumental in providing a safe place for me to be heard and find my truth within. I am not afraid anymore. I do not carry the judgement of others' belief of me. I believe in myself and know that baggage of past experiences do not define me. They are experiences to learn from and live a healthy emotional life. Thank you Dr. Potasznik. You saved my life.

β β β β β I am a physician practicing in Toronto and have been a colleague of Dr. Potasznik since he opened his private practice 25 years ago. Over that length of time I have referred quite a number of patients to him for psychological problems of all kinds and have even sent friends of mine for assistance. The feedback I have received has been excellent overall with adjectives used such as kind, caring, empathic, knowledgeable and effective. I am pleased to have him as a resource and will continue referring patients to him in the future.

β β β β β Dr Potasznik is among the top most important people in my life now, along with my parents and closest friends. I came to him with a critical crisis in my marriage, when I've lost pretty much everything, and had a target on my back. I had tremendous fear of my ex-wife and was also confused about her at the same time. I chose him because of his vast years of experience and positive reviews on ratemds, where the reviews are a lot more in depth.
Words can't describe the transformation he helped me achieve to understand myself, my situation, people in my life etc but I can say that all I did was put in the effort to do what he suggests every time with an open mind and both myself and Harry are surprised at the speed of my progress as a result.
He once called me to make sure I did something super important that he sensed I was hesitating on. That moment changed my life because if I didn't listen to him at that time, I would be in deep **** right now. He's able to read me and beyond what I say to him. As someone who spent the last decade consciously understanding myself, I'm always impressed by his skills. Recently I had an issue that I thought would take me 4-6 months to resolve, after literally 1 session with him, I began to execute the plan we talked about and the next weekend the issue was fully resolved beyond what I ever imagined was possible.
I will be seeing Dr Potasznik as long as possible because he's just that good as all aspects, love, marriage, life, parenting, friendships, career. $ well-spent on investing on myself.

β β β β β Dr Harry Potasznik made coming out and ending my 18 year marriage easier than i had ever expected. His vast knowledge and customized approach to therapy made all the difference in me moving forward and living a genuine, happy and complete life that was missing for the greater part of my adult life. He was empathetic and listened and help me gain perspective to come up with life solutions on my own. Making the choice to meet with him will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

β β β β β I had been to meet several other psychologists before I was referred to Dr. Potasznik. With huge relief, I knew from day one he was the right fit for me. With his knowledge and experience he was able to hone in on my core issues. I felt listened to with respect and empathy in a time I needed it most. He guided me through a traumatic time, giving me clarity and a voice when I felt I had lost mine. It is appreciated that he a straight shooter and doesn't allow you to disrespect yourself in or out of the office, showing me how much I needed to hold myself to a higher standard. He offered books, videos, and several personal challenges to accomplish outside of the office to which I followed every one. I have since changed for the better because of all of it. Without him there as a person on my side, I have no doubt my emotional state would have not evolved as far or as quickly as it has. In times of particular despair, he made sure to reach out in excess of our usual sessions to check-in, by phone, email, and freeing his time for extra sessions. Dr. Potasznik truly cares about his patients. He went above and beyond to help me and for that I will forever be grateful.

β β β β β This review is well overdue. Dr Potasznik helped identify my relationship issues and provided me with ample comfort and clarity. I was able to finally leave a relationship that was emotionally and verbally abusive and was NOT healthy either either for me or the child to witness/experience. It was the right call and hind sight is 20/20 thanks to Dr Potasznik.
