Highly recommend! I felt very comfortable sharing things and I also felt very seen and understood. She really took the time to validate my feelings and make sure that the correct treatment was being given to me as it had not been prior with another provider. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I was finally on the right path to bettering myself.

Kathryn has been amazing!!! Working with her has been the best experience I’ve had since starting my mental health journey in 2021. She knows her stuff, is collaborative and listens to all my concerns! 10/10 recommend!!!
Kathryn has been wonderful! I am so glad that I switched to her. She listens to me, she understands my concerns and needs and I feel very safe knowing she has my best interests at heart.
I haven’t had anyone challenge my feelings and thoughts before and it has helped me open my mind about a lot of things. She is smooth when she makes suggestions which helps with transitions from one idea to a new one.
She’s amazing! Excellent listener, genuine kindness & energy. I felt very heard & seen. Extremely grateful to have come across her. Don’t hesitate booking her, you won’t regret it??

Kathryn is a very down to earth, kind human being who makes me feel listened to and understood. She also is excellent at communicating her knowledge on conditions, medications and their side effects as well as what they treat on- and off-label, and her experiences with other patients to give me a good perspective of how she is approaching my treatment. My favorite part of working with her though is how thorough she is no matter what, whether it’s as simple as accommodations or going the extra mile to ensure I can get a problem addressed. I’m extremely grateful to have her for a provider.
Kathryn Farishta, APRN, PMHNP-BC was there for me after dealing with an issue of medical abandonment and helped me stay on track with my medication. Went beyond the scope of meeting basic needs and was willing to work with my therapist to ensure the highest quality of care was observed. An empathetic listener with empowering bedside manner. Would recommend for any patient.
Dr. Farishta was initially excellent and offered me the option of medication, which I was looking for. However, after the initial meeting, she became consistently late to our appointments by 10-15 minutes. My appointment today, though, she was a complete no-show. No communication at all for an hour. I then get a call that she was called to the hospital and she let the time get away from her. I understand that things can come up, but I'm bummed that there was no communication from her at all and that I was left in her wait-room for 30 minutes before opting to leave and find someone else.

Absolutely amazing. My first session and she listened to everything I had to say. Was very nervous at first but after speaking with her for a few minutes she made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.

Very patient and understanding! Didn’t make me feel ashamed at all for what I’ve been experiencing, and helped me feel comfortable with talking openly about my situation. She made sure to help break things down to avoid confusion, and overall helped me feel at ease.

Kathryn Farishta is an amazing help. She actually listens to you, your needs, concerns, and makes recommendations based off of that but ultimately listens to your voice first. Behavioral healthcare has always been scary for me but she makes it super easy.

Kathryn is THE best mental health provider I have ever had. During my visit, I felt understood. I felt hope. More importantly, I felt heard. Kathryn did a phenomenal job of explaining my medication options and helping me understand what is going on with me. I finally have a name for how I have been feeling my entire life, and a plan that I can actually execute (for once). After one session it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt real RELIEF. The future looks and feels brighter, thanks to Kathryn!

Kathryn is amazing - she is so kind and willing to meet you where you are in your journey for mental health. She's also very experienced with managing medications and receptive to concerns that you may have about them. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

So kind, so thorough and determined to be clear on making sure I felt comfortable and able to address anything. Very knowledgeable and confident in her capabilities but also honest about things she is not well-versed in. Absolutely validated my struggles that I have been told were caused by a disorder we found out I do not have despite being diagnosed and medicated months ago. I have been miserable and she’s the first medical professional in my life to take me 100% seriously off the bat. It was a breath of fresh air to speak with someone down to earth and on my level. I’m so glad I found Kathryn.

Such a great experience. Often medication appointment TD involve long waits and this was quick. The provider was knowledgeable and educated my child on what the medication was for. I felt she took time with us and was so great to meet from the comfort of our home!
