“Had my first meeting with Catherine and it was great! I broke up with my previous provider after four months of not really connecting and was nervous to start over. But she listened and made me feel comfortable right away. Felt instantly at ease talking with her. Highly recommend! ”

I had my first appointment with Catherine Oplinger and it was the best appointment I have ever had. She read all of the information that I provided before our appointment and was extremely prepared and knew exactly what I was looking for. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was heard and validated and like she is genuinely there for ME and my health. I could not recommend her more!

Cathy was excellent! She is a great communicator and patient listener. This was my 1st use of this service and Cathy. Next, time will tell if my meds will work like they should and bring me back to normal living again.
Thank You,
Mark

She was incredibly approachable and knowledgeable. I have had difficult interactions with medical professionals in the past that makes me apprehensive. I felt very heard and feel confident that I will be able to get to a good place with my medicine with her.

I was nervous finding a new psychiatric practitioner but was pleasantly surprised at the compassion and care Catherine provided. I’m excited to have found a practitioner who has the right balance of listening and knowledge of medications. I never felt rushed or dismissed at any point and she answered any questions I had. Highly recommend!

After years and years of shuffling through different therapists, psychiatrists, and different forms of therapy this is the first time I felt listen to, respected, and cared about. I was made to feel like a person instead of a problem. Doctor Oplinger is the breath of fresh air I needed in my mental heath journey! I have never felt this prepared and assured with my mental health journey.
