She listens! Even if it's not revenant to my visit
My stress level has always been "over the top" since childhood....after our visits, I feel calmer and more relaxed.

AMY JAMES IS ABSOLUTELTY OUTSTANDING! ??
She is the most caring, helpful, dedicated, patient, empathetic, kind-hearted, personable yet professional pyschiatrist that you will ever find.
Amy goes above and beyond to help you and she treats you like you are her ONLY patient.
I don't take the time to do a lot of reviews but I would take the time to leave Amy a
10 star review every single day if I could!
She's definitelt deserves MORE than a
5 star review!
After many traumatic events in my life, I tried several other mental health practices, primary care Doctors/NP's, and pyschiatrists for mental health medication management.
After SO many failed attempts, I was skeptical and honestly scared to see another pyschiatrist. Honestly, I had been under and over prescribed so many different medications to treat my ptsd, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and insomnia. For way too many years, I felt like a guinea pig.
I hated the thought of having to start over again, talk about my life/mental health, and truthfully I was fearful that I would just be wasting my time once again!
Now, thanks to Amy, I am finally on the right medications to manage my mental health.
TRUST ME, WITH AMY IT'S WORTH TRYING OR LIKE IN MY CASE, TRYING AGAIN!
A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE MOST AMAZING PYSCHIATRIST, "AMY JAMES, NP" AND TO MY FABULOUS THERAPIST "KATHERINE BRADISH" FOR ENCORAGING ME TO SEE AMY.
(Also, thank you LifeStance Health for bringing and keeping Amy on board.
I don't know what I would do without her.)
Respectfully, Nicole F.
