Barbara was amazing. I felt like she really listened and asked meaningful questions to get a full picture of my mental health and past traumas before deciding on a plan for my mental health management. I wasn’t rushed, and we went into detail about my struggles and which medication or therapies were right for me. She was also super friendly and kind. 100% recommend
Less than 1 year agoBO
Barbara was the best medical professional I've ever met possibly, she understood my problems and concerns and got my meds back to where they were before other awful prescribers cut or reduced my dosages to a point I was doing poorly, and I believe she saved me from more possible depression, she put me at ease, and I feel better already knowing I have a new fantastic, caring provider I’d recommend her to anyone that needed help, the world needs more compassionate providers like her!
Less than 1 year agoNP
She offers a unique balance between therapy and mindfulness coaching. You can tell they genuinely care about progress, not just appointments.
