“I really enjoyed my appointment, it was a very easy process and she helped me so much through my appointment.”
Deauzunae W.March 25, 2026Video visit
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Merissa! I came into my appointment feeling extremely anxious, wired, and honestly not okay. From the very beginning, she created a calm and safe space for me. She was incredibly empathetic, patient, and attentive. I never once felt rushed or dismissed.
Merissa asked thoughtful, thorough questions that helped me better understand what was happening in my own body and mind. She listened deeply and validated my experience while also providing clear clinical insight. Her ability to balance warmth with expertise is truly exceptional!
The medication she prescribed has been very helpful, and I feel supported knowing I am under her care. It is rare to find a psychiatric provider who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate. Merissa is fantastic, and I am so grateful to have found her!”

I waited for one appointment and put down as a no show. Took about an hour or so of phone calls to get straightened out.

She listens with care and love you could expect from a mother and a wife who knows where I am coming from. I am man who came for help to show his family it’s okay. It is a journey and will and can get better with help.

I was honestly a bit reluctant to seek help at first, but my telehealth visit with Dr. McFadden completely put me at ease. She was incredibly thorough, compassionate, and took the time to truly listen. She explained my treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand and made me feel confident moving forward. I’m really grateful for how supported and informed I felt after our visit.
February 4, 2026savannah H.Verified patientVideo visit
She’s amazing, very understanding as well as being amazing at communicating and making sure you understand the treatment as well as what to potentially expect, both the good and potential negative things to watch out for.
January 7, 2026Joseph B.Verified patientVideo visit
She’s a very trustworthy person, I felt no judgement about my situation and I actually felt seen and heard for the first time.
November 13, 2025Brianna H.Verified patientVideo visit
They paid attention and made me feel cared for. A clear plan was laid out, and rather than having me take the next step on my own, they said someone would reach out to me to schedule a time with a therapist. That took a massive load off my shoulders. I’m used to feeling alone after these types of sessions, but this visit was different. Very professional.
November 5, 2025Johanna L.Verified patientVideo visit
Merissa has been absolutely wonderful in every way. I’ve had 3 appointments with Merissa and I can honestly say I actually look forward to speaking with her every time. She is understanding, knowledgeable, and makes me feel comfortable to ask questions. I’m very thankful to have found such an empathetic and caring provider.
October 26, 2025Rachel C.Verified patientVideo visit
Merissa is fantastic! She listened thoroughly and did not rush or interrupt which I really appreciated. Truly understood my medication concerns/questions and very clearly explained what to expect with them.
Would highly recommend!!

Good.
August 27, 2025Rachel T.Verified patientVideo visit
NP Merrisa was wonderful! She listened to my feelings on previous medications I had taken, answered my questions and was very communicative through a weird insurance/pharmacy issue (which was all the fault of the pharmacy not not her or the office). I’m very glad to be in her care
