“I have been seeing Dr Mariam Kashani for almost three years now: She is top tier in every psychiatric category you can think of. And, even more importantly as a deep-feeling person, she has been the most influential, empowering, fun, caring, and motivating provider I have ever had. And for those reasons she has allowed me to feel good enough to fight for myself. It’s the person she is behind the advice and professional duties that makes you keep coming back. She will never stop helping you.”

Mariam is truly the best, and it is clear she really cares about her patients. She supports me through my hardships and celebrates my wins with me. I would not be in the place I am today without her unwavering dedication towards my treatment. I am consistently satisfied with our appointments, and my quality of life has significantly improved since getting her help. I cannot say enough positive things about her. If anyone needs a phenomenal mental health professional, Mariam is the way to go!

THE BEST! I've been seeing Mariam for awhile now and while I won't say that I'm a new person, I will say that I am well on my way to being the best version of myself....less anxious, less reactive, properly medicated, and better prepared to handle the curve balls of life. Mariam is brilliant! She really knows her stuff and is so easy to talk to. I look forward to our sessions because I know I am going to feel better after we speak and learn a something new that will improve my quality of life. I could not recommend her more highly.

Dr. Kashani has been great and very helpful. I appreciate her advice greatly and would recommend her to anyone.
I have had the occasional audio issue with your telehealth system, such as popping. I frequently have meetings on Zoom and Google Meet, where I do not have these issues. This does not affect my overall experience, but it is annoying.

Mariam is the best. I would trust her with anyone. Her expertise and compassion have made my journey far more navigable. She has a great balance of medical and behavioral health skills and is super responsive.

Mariam is simply fantastic. I have seen a number of psychiatric providers previously and Mariam is one-of-a-kind. She is genuine in her desire to understand and provide what is most needed, be it medication or supplements or other support. Honestly, I feel better just after talking to her!

Ms. Kashani and I are addressing some issues with my medications. Her thoughtful and intuitive questions, along with her knowledge of medication effectiveness, instill confidence in her ability to help me. I would highly recommend her.
