“This is my first in person appointment with a psychiatrist because I always had anxiety about going in, and it was great. You feel right at ease and she makes sure you’re comfortable. She is very attentive, thorough, and a great listener. She made me feel validated about my mental symptoms and immediately moved forward with a different approach for my treatment. I feel very confident about my mental health journey with Dr. cotter !”

Ms. Cotter was attentive and asked excellent questions as part of our meeting. As this was an introductory meeting, I can say I will be planning to see her again in the future - that should be recommendation enough! A++++
