- Charlie Allenson, Professional Speaker
Oscar has made such a difference in my life and has been an important part of my development. I was stuck in the same place, yet again, and wondering if I would ever figure it out, get it right. He was able to get to the root of the issues quickly and concisely. The way no one ever had before. He put me on the path to self-awareness and healing with a genuine concern for me! He is a wonderful teacher and I’m very grateful to have found him. – Suzanne Thompson, Yoga Trainer
I met Dr. Gillespie at a time of frustration, resentment and anger, and I couldn’t get pregnant and was driving my husband away. He helped me rediscover my true self and showed me a way into fulfillment, forgiveness and happiness. I thought he was great with me and I’m not easy. Words can never describe how grateful I am to him and his work., it was a blessing to have found him. And, I’m happily pregnant now, the natural way, and stopped running around to every doctor that promised a physical fix.

Oscar has single handedly changed my life and at least a dozen of my friends and colleagues lives for the better. He give’s each one of us the tools to reach our fullest potential. He has the ability to extract your truth into reality. Oscar will literally change your negative thought patterns into positive thought patterns. I like to think of Oscar as my alchemist.
- Natalie Kates, Style Curator
Thank you for programming me right! It felt amazing, just like when I’m all curled up in my bed, and better. And your voice is perfect. I’ve found my balance and my center again and was catapulted out of my funk and back to photography the way it hasn’t been in years. I’m very happy to have met you at the perfect time. That was one session! and I’ve been in therapy for years!
- Eva Mueller, Photographer
I am so, so happy to have met Dr. Gillespie ! My sessions with him are life altering. They are far from the traditional therapy that I had in the past. The combination of his positive advice, calming hypnotherapy and overall pleasant demeanor have such a powerful yet calming effect. He has a passion to guide people in the right path and does it so well. I commute 2 hours each way for an appointment and it is worth every second of the trip!
-Shari, Health Consultant, Long Island
Oscar helped me turn my life around. I was in the wrong job, wrong school classes, wrong relationships, wrong everything. My past in Argentina was traumatic to say the least, and I couldn’t ever quite get on track. Oscar showed me what was wrong and helped me redirect my personal and professional paths. He has the gift of overcoming cultural barriers and getting you clear quickly on what’s really going on and how to face it. Now I’m married with a beautiful daughter, working in finance and finishing up my Masters Degree in Business. None of these seemed possible before. – Veronica, new mother and Microfinance Consultant
Having studied psychology I thought I knew the formulas of therapy and how they worked…
But Dr. Gillespie is refreshingly different – nothing “formulaic” in his approach, just pure presence … no wonder as a client you feel more alive in a remarkably short time. Sessions with Oscar are thought provoking, stimulating and changing. He taps not only into the wisdom of his mentor Milton Erickson and other masters of his trade – he also weaves in lessons learned from chess, martial arts or even salsa dancing. As a tango dancer, that leads me to a certain shift of my thinking. Instead of wasting energy on depression I realize that therapy can be a joyful, creative dance of possibilites……..and so my life is growing that way.

I had been hearing great things about Oscar from a friend, and when I finally made the decision for myself to meet with him, I discovered that he has an incredibly insightful, intelligent, and empowering voice. He speaks from a positive and honest place, wants only to see me develop and progress, and has the talent of building strengths from the inside out. He has given me so many valuable tools that I use everyday in my personal and professional life. I look forward to every session with Oscar, because I always know I will learn something about life, how to be in tune with myself and how to apply that to my interaction with others. He is a genuinely caring and charismatic person who has the ability to calm me, to make me feel confident in myself, and has truly helped me grow into the person I am happy to be.
-Joyce Lee, Fashion Designer
Oscar was a great help to me in dealing with some complicated and painful issues. He has an amazing ability to get right to the crux of a problem and to break it down so that it can be understood and resolved. He creates an environment of trust, respect, warmth, loving support and good humor in which to learn and share. He was a godsend when I needed one! Thank you—Oscar.
Dick LaVine, Tango Dancer and Musician

When I first went to see Dr. G., I was at a place in my life where I knew I could no longer avoid certain truths. Despite my ability to keep it together on the outside, I just could not keep it together in the inside.
I thought I went in there for one thing and I learned that not everything was as black and white as I thought it was. There is no right and wrong, just what you do, what you don’t do, and how you chose to handle it.
I wanted to get rid of thoughts and feelings that I felt were holding me back. I needed what I felt was holding me back to just get lost and not come back. Dr. G taught me to release, not lose because what is lost can easily be found again. I’m learning to release my stress, my anxiety, and my excess weight without being punitive. I’m learning to let them go as they no longer serve me a purpose. Within a few weeks, I was exploring things differently, and Dr. G’s suggestions were no longer just suggestions but part of my core and thinking. I continue to work on myself, my relationships with others, and my career, but I can do so in a more meditative, reflective, and lighthearted manner. I only saw Dr.G. 6 times but I’m living very differently now. – Veronica, Child Psychologist
It is really amazing work . For me you are such a calming soul, a magician a cool dude. You do make me (see-feel) the power of the mind. The work is subtle but the changes I have begun to make are really good. For me the little taste that I have had, makes me want this way of thinking in my life.
- thank you, Hamid Johannes
Oscar has the power to put life into perspective, and point you to being the person you ought to be, and an amazing ability get you happy. I hated my job and everyone around me hated me, and my friends were fed up with my attitude. Now I”m doing what I’ve always wanted to, my own material, in my own gig, on my own terms. – Paul Colombo
Oscar is a true gem. I feel like I uncovered a hidden treasure in New York City when I learned of Oscar’s practice. After my first visit I knew I had come across more than a therapist; I had found someone with whom I could work through my questions but who would also encourage me to stretch my potentials in ways I had only kept in my thoughts. In many ways, Oscar brought to life the advice Rilke gave to the young poet, “have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves………And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now.” Oscar has taught me how to have patience with my questions, and has helped me discover answers within myself and to trust that the universe will help me answer those that remain unresolved. I found his suggestions for creating a circle of excellence incredibly valuable in my personal and professional life. I get stuck less often, and have found new strength in my voice and in my interactions with people. I have great appreciation and admiration for the way in which he was so quickly able to understand and work with me, and knew that an encouraging pro-active and positive approach to my life would have the greatest impact and influence. I’ve read a lot of books about life and its questions, but Oscar has been by far the most powerful resource and I can’t thank him enough for being the person he is and offering his gifts as an empathetic communicator to his clients.
