Dr. Alex Kaminsky is a true expert in his field. I started an 8-week program with him recently to address a history of head impacts from my time in boxing and contact sports. Having experienced craniosacral therapy before, I had high standards, and Dr. Kaminsky exceeded them all. ​The most impressive aspect of Dr. Kaminsky’s practice is his incredible grasp of neurology and how the body holds onto trauma history. He immediately instills confidence. During our intake, he took copious notes and really listened to my specific background. His bedside manner is terrific—he is empathetic, kind, and truly cares about his patients' recovery. ​After finishing the 8-week protocol, I have achieved a amazing general feeling of wellness and balance. It is rare to find a practitioner who combines such high-level technical knowledge with such genuine care. Highly recommended for anyone seeking real healing.

I learned about Craniosacral Therapy after reading books on nervous system regulation, pretty much a year after the onset of a psychosomatic disorder that western medicine calls “Visual Snow Syndrome”, and qualifies as “permanent”. In a year, I had seen many qualified expert doctors who had no clue what I was experiencing, and decided to give a try at alternative methods. After only two sessions with Dr Kaminsky, my symptoms were practically gone. Not only this, but I fell at peace with myself like I had not experienced in a long time, in the weeks following the onset of the therapy. I am now pretty much fully recovered and very happy. I still come back for sessions here and then, to “realign” my body with myself — for a lack of a better word. I say this because each session brings a sense of unity between my spirit and body. Yes, this therapy has not only helped with my psychosomatic symptoms, but also with much more profound reflections upon myself. To the curious reader of this review, I understand that this might sound a little bit spiritual, but I invite you to give it a try with an open mind. Thank you for your help and generosity, Dr Kaminsky.

I came to Dr. Kaminsky for Craniosacral Therapy and was truly amazed by the results. While the treatment is gentle, its impact on my nervous system and stress levels was incredibly effective. The biggest change is that I no longer have a a high-stress response to everyday situations; I feel calmer and more centered. Dr. Kaminsky is not just a practitioner; he is a true healer and an excellent communicator, which was crucial for my comfort and understanding of the process. Furthermore, the receptionist is superb, consistently offering a positive attitude, and the entire process of appointment scheduling and follow-ups is wonderfully easy. A five-star experience from start to finish!

The proof is in the pudding

I highly recommend working with Dr Kaminsky. I went to see him hoping to find some relief for months-long chronic neck pain with some neuropathy. After about 5-6 regular weekly sessions working with Dr K I feel completely relieved from my symptoms, am back into my routines, and have such a sense of relief. It is deeply transformative work. This was my first time having CST. I had recently had PT, medications, herbs, acupuncture, but CST for me, at this time, seemed to have the most positive effect. I hope it does for you too.

I’ve been going to Dr.Kaminsky for over a year and he has truly helped me. Before coming, I was having chronic migraines for 6 years and very low energy levels. But after seeing Dr. Kaminsky for craniosacral therapy, the frequency of my migraines dropped significantly while my energy levels and sleep improved. I definitely recommend him if you’re thinking about craniosacral therapy. He’s also very kind and genuinely cares about the people he treats.

Dr. Kaminsky is fantastic. I sleep better, my nervous system feels more regulated, and overall general improvement in physical and mental well-being. Highly recommend!

I saw Dr. Kaminsky for craniosacral therapy because I had been struggling with sleep. I literally couldn’t sleep longer than four hours for two weeks. After just one session, I was able to get my sleep back on track. The difference was incredible. Dr. Kaminsky has such a calm, healing presence, and his work feels truly magical. I’m so grateful I found him!

Craniosacral therapy was recommended to me by another holistic provider who was treating me for Lyme disease and mold illness. As a mental health provider myself, with the background in holistic approaches, I came to Dr. Alex very open-minded and hopeful. My experience with craniosacral therapy was unexpected and tremendously impactful, both physically and emotionally. Over the many years, I’ve had many different types of treatments and approaches, and I can honestly say, working with Dr. Alex has been absolutely amazing and I would recommend his services to anyone. Dr. Alex It’s very kind, patient and intuitive and always made me feel extremely safe. I will be coming back for more!

About three months ago I felt jaw pain for the first time in my life. Naturally I went to my PCP who sent me to see a dental TMJ specialist. The dentist was not able to explain why I was experiencing pain and now also clicking in my right jaw. After numerous X-Rays of my teeth and jaw he recommended to put a splint or some kind of device in my mouth which did not make sense because he couldn't find anything wrong with my teeth or jaw. After a frustrating visit to another dentist and the same recommendation, I decided to look elsewhere and found Dr. Kaminsky's website. The description about TMJ treatment resonated with me, what I read made sense and I decided to give Dr. Kaminsky a try. After the first treatment my clicking stopped completely and my pain was 50% gone. After the second session a week later, by which time my pain had already diminished to 20%, it was gone completely. I decided to come in for the third time, by which time I was pain free, but just in case. And today, about three weeks after my last session, I have no pain and the best part is that my neck feels better too. Thank you very much Dr. Kaminsky.

I’ve been seeing Alex for craniosacral therapy over the past few months, and it has been a profoundly transformative experience. Alex is not only highly professional and attentive, but he also brings a deep sense of presence to each session. Before we begin, he takes the time to carefully listen and document any recent physical or emotional shifts. During the sessions, he skillfully guides me to tune into my body and allow space for release, rather than resisting it. His approach has helped me process and release a great deal of stored tension and emotion, and has supported a deeper understanding of my own healing process. I truly appreciate his grounded, intuitive way of working and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking somatic or emotional integration through craniosacral work.

Dr. Kaminsky helped me in multiple ways with different techniques (craniosacral, chiropractic, tuning forks, emotional release) to reduce my symptoms of anxiety, tinnitus, stored tension, and lingering bells palsey facial weakness from years ago. After about 5 months of sessions, I am feeling rebalanced...wish I had gone to him sooner.

My 14-year old son had a craniosacral therapy session with Dr. Kaminsky after getting a concussion. It was immensely helpful to his healing and he immediately felt much better after the session! Dr. Kaminsky is very caring and patient and our family members will definitely see him again in the future as needed.

First time doing Craniosacral therapy and I was very skeptical going in, but Alex is amazing and really has a gift to heal! Cured my stiff neck in just 2 visits... after I tried everything else for weeks (acupuncture, massage, chiro). Am now going back regularly for insomnia / anxiety and it's helping!

I see Alex 3 or so times a month, and I've experienced the following qualitative improvements: lowered anxiety, decreased depression, and increased positivity. Have also received noteworthy benefits in several isolated sessions. We used SER to reduce inflammation in a part of my brain that sustained a TBI and had been sensitive for years, to a point where I no longer feel the sensitivity, in a single session. In other sessions, I've arrived on the verge of dissociation and he has successfully returned my sense of self, body, etc. All in all, Alex is an excellent practitioner versed in a wide array of techniques that I would highly recommend.

I am new to craniosacral therapy but so far have found it to be a good way to treat a persistently swollen ankle after a hiking injury. It’s very relaxing and has helped with the energy flow in my body, not just in my ankle. Dr. Kaminsky has used a variety of techniques and is both friendly and experienced.

I came in with years of headaches and back pain since I’ve had a few concussions and been in a car accident. I have done some Craniosacrial before and it helped so when I found this office I was pleased! After a couple treatments I felt better but 9 treatments in I rarely have the symptoms I came in with. Would highly recommend trying this if you haven’t!

I had been suffering from debilitating migraines for years, trying various treatments without much relief. After just a few sessions with Dr. Kaminsky my migraines have significantly decreased in frequency and intensity. During the sessions I felt real reactions which are hard to explain but it was ultimately relaxing. I felt very comfortable and I trusted him completely. If you're struggling with migraines or other chronic pain issues, don't hesitate to book a session! It’s worth the price

I felt so sick with pain in my head and neck coming into NYC this morning . Googled Craniosacral near me , drKaminsky came up , 5 minutes later i was there in his office, and the treatment opened up some flow upward and something realigned, and I felt better, ready for the rest of the day. Also I feel more balanced.

I came to see Dr Kaminsky about vertigo that I started to experience a few months ago. I tried massage therapy and acupuncture thinking it might be just tension in the shoulders and neck. Those didn't work. I did some research and found Dr Kaminsky and craniosacral therapy. After our first session, my symptoms were alleviated. I've had several sessions and each time those symptoms are getting less and less. There were even times where I might have had muscle soreness or back pain, and they always felt better after. Dr Kaminsky is attentive and really has the gift of healing.

Dr. Kaminsky was very welcoming and helpful from first conversation. Our little one was having reflux and colic issues and after one session we saw a difference! He also was so sweet and gentle with him (being 2 months old) and our son loved his visit. We only needed two sessions before we saw improvement with his reflux which in turned helped his colic. Thank you again!
