My husband and I are very thankful that I was heard, listened to, and given help with chronic insomnia (sleep anxiety). Lack of sleep affects my life greatly, having MS and Fibro. Being understood was such a relief! Very grateful!

I had been a bit wary about choosing a psychiatrist online and having appointments that way. However, I had the best experience I've had with my doctor.
