I've seen a few therapists/psychologists in my life, and one very good psychiatrist. Kathleen Schaaf is the best one I've seen. She was very professional, expressed sympathy and caring appropriately, and really understood the medications. I was able to get through the get-to-know-you and medical history pretty quickly as a result, while not skipping anything important. I know what she thinks is a good plan moving forward. I'm comfortable with her ability to change the plan as appropriate. I was impressed with her knowledge of DNA tests to assist with the selection of the new medication.

Kathleen Schaaf was very thorough and thoughtful in how she approached my issue and understood how to help me overcome my struggles. She has been a blessing to see the past few months.

I have had experiences with doctors in the past shaming or making the conversation uncomfortable, so I was nervous to meet with a doctor I found online. Kathleen Schaaf blew me away. She is an incredible listener, and she did a spectacular job of validating all of my thoughts and experiences. I am very thankful to have found such an attentive doctor!

There was some kind of miscommunication or issue with scheduling. I scheduled the appointment via zocdoc as a virtual session but I was called and told it would be in person. When I arrived at the office for the appointment, the provider was not there and the receptionist could not find a record of the call made to me from the office. We ironed it out and the provider came in about 15 minutes later, but whatever the glitch is should be taken care of. Other than that, she is awesome. I'm looking forward to cultivating a relationship.

As a new patient, I was nervous! All of that nervousness was lulled away within the first 5 mins. Since I like to leave honest and thorough reviews, I don’t have much to say just yet, but I am confident and feeling good about my choice with trusting this practice. Looking forward to my journey of healing and growth.

Kathleen was absolutely wonderful and I’m so thankful to have found her.

Great listener. Did not make me feel weird or add for what I was feeling but instead gave me helpful and informative insight. Easy to tall to. Very caring and understanding.

My first experience reaching out for mental health outside my own developed coping mechanisms. Very professional, but I felt comfortable. The appointment was direct with q&a, some time for details which was appreciated. I feel like I’m in good hands with her.

Very informative-thorough. Understanding of conditions and able to translate medical terms into laymen explanations. Gave me different options of treatment for my condition and decided on one that seems like it could be better for me than past prescription.
