Dr Laura Davies is by far the most caring and knowledgeable psychiatrist I’ve worked with. She takes the time to understand what is going on and work through issues on a deeper level. She creates a safe space for being vulnerable and makes you feel very supported through difficult times. Could not recommend more highly!

Dr. Davies is an experienced and knowledgable Dr. It was easy to build a trusted relationship with her from the start. I like that she allows me to be part of the conversation in terms of my care. Dr. Davies also doesn't sugar coat anything, which really works for me. I'm never unsure about what path to take after speaking with her. She allows me to get to a place of clarity with the way she conducts our sessions. Highly recommend!

Dr Davies did a great job of listening to my concerns and addressing them. She was polite, kind, and compassionate, I felt very comfortable opening up to her about my past problems which is rare for me. Although the appointment was only 50 minutes, Dr Davies not only gave me a spot on diagnosis, but a positive direction of therapy as well.

High recommend Dr. Laura. She always makes me feel heard, and considers my opinions before suggesting me with multiple options she selects to best match my requirements. She also explains everything thoroughly and always treats me like another intelligent individual. When I had negative reactions to certain medications, she was quick to help me find alternatives without forcing me to continue taking them like other Drs have previously telling me I needed more time to adjust. She also follows up with me when I forget, and checks in on me to make sure I am properly adjusting. Highly recommend.
