What should a new client know about working with you?
I love to work with young adults as well as mid career level adults , and all adults 22 to 63 experiencing symptoms I can help to alleviate to achieve wellness.
We look at the big picture , how things are working and collaborate for change as necessary . While I absolutely do short term therapy of interpersonal and cognitive techniques , usually it’s strongly recommended if insured or able, to have ones individual therapist , happy to communicate as needed .
What is your typical process for working with clients?
First we determine your main concern and overview …this can take a couple of sessions for completeness. There’s a look at immediate steps to take to feel better , along with thoroughness about meds prescribed .
Counseling , time permitting , usually evolves where needed to supplement primary therapy so that I can understand your unique experience and what matters most .
Please not I do generally require those seeking help for PTSD/ trauma to have primary therapist , with evidence based support for the combination treatment approach

The visit started off okay. The office was cluttered and comfortable seating wasn't provided. There was only an oversized loveseat. I had to sit sideways to face the doctor. Towards the end she kept repeating herself like 5 times even after I said I understood but still repeated herself. It didn't give me confidence in her profession and I just felt like I waisted my time and money. I would not refer her to anyone.

I hated my experience with this provider. She is rude, unprofessional, condescending and weirdly combative. Judgemental, sour, i could go on. She is also a horrible listener, or she was messing up and twisting my words repeatedly and on purpose. Either way, it was weird. Opening up to her was hard and unnatural, and having a normal conversation with her felt impossible.
I've seen many doctors and providers in my life, and I had never left a provider's office feeling that uncomfortable, uneasy, and frustrated. I even asked myself if I was crazy for feeling so strongly about it, until I took a glance at google reviews and saw the many people warning against booking an appointment with this Dr.
this appointment was a waste of time, money, and vulnerability

Prior to seeing Dr. Beisel my anxiety was effecting my daily life and it was quite physically draining at that point. I was hesitant to see a psychiatrist again because I was on too many medications at one point. Dr. Beisel heard my concerns and developed a treatment plan for me that has been working great for me. I’m back to myself but better. Highly recommended

It was pleasant. I brought up several concerns regarding my medication, and she got straight to the point. She also shows caution when advising new or different medications instead of giving me a sales pitch, as I've previously experienced with other medical professionals. Regarding my mental health, I'm grateful she has a gradual approach instead of medicating me to oblivion.

Dr. B has been excellent. She was able to see me right away when I reached out, and she is outstanding about reading my mood and letting me set the pace for our meetings. There is no one else I would trust my mental health to, and I look forward to continuing to work with her!
