“Very kind and understanding, but also upfront and practical. I appreciated how Harriet was prompt in giving me a timeframe with specific tasks (diagnostics, timeline, etc.) as well as accommodating me for wanting to meet weekly instead of biweekly. Fantastic!”

“I had an excellent experience with Ms. Harriet. Scheduling was straightforward, and the appointment was well organized. The psychiatrist was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to carefully assess my concerns. Medication options were explained clearly, and I felt involved in the treatment decisions. I felt respected, heard, and supported throughout the visit, and I would highly recommend this provider for psychiatric care and medication management. What I also like is that she provides a variety of options for therapy such as telehealth, office and home visits. Very convenience for me. Thank you so much. ”

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Using proven diagnosed strategies such as talk therapy, one to one consultation and group work, I have a 15 minute consultation with the patient to find out what their needs are. After which I determine if I am able to meet their needs. The next spte in the process is to schedule the patient for a follow up detailed meeting either in person (DC) residents or virtually for those out of state. It is my hope that at the end of the first meeting I will have met the needs of the clients and determined what we need to do to assist the client,
