“Destiny was very honest and straightforward about my treatment and medication! She was also extremely helpful and understanding of my situation all while maintaining professionalism and being respectful and super kind! I never felt judged when it came to personal questions and she didn’t put off any type of vibe that made me feel uncomfortable sharing my experiences with her! She’s great!”

“I have been working with Destiny for almost 3 years now and I'm so glad I found her. My therapist recommended her to me after my PCP told me "I didn't look that depressed" after asking for help with my worsening depression while working in Healthcare during Covid. Destiny is always patient, respects my input when collaborating for my treatment plan, and is a provider that genuinely cares for the wellbeing of her patients. Destiny has truly made a positive impact in my life. Thank you, Destiny!”

Destiny is amazing - she genuinely wants the best for her patients and doesn't pressure you to do anything you aren't willing/wanting to do. She is always pleasant to speak with. I love that when talking to her it feels like chit-chatting with one of the girls <3
