    Dr. Charette is fantastic and has helped me find language to communicate with my wife, family and friends, that I would have otherwise never been able to locate.

    I saw Dr Dersch during Covid via telehealth. She was awesome!! Today I had the pleasure of seeing her in person. Loved her then, love her now!!
    Verified patient
    I've suffered a variety of mental disorders, but mostly TRD (treatment resistant depression for about 30 years. Needless to say I've tried an endless list of treatments and different doctors and therapists. Without a doubt, Dr. Dersch, hands down has been the best one of my best weapons against my depression and she blows away any therapist/counselor that I've ever seen. I feel amazingly lucky to have found and become a patient of Dr. Dersch. She deserves the highest of praise.

    I've suffered from a number of mental issues for over 20 years, so I've seen the good, bad, and ugly with treatment providers. I can say without a doubt that Charette is the best therapist that I've ever worked with. She's not a provider that just sits there and listens without engaging the patient and then ushers you out the door. Our appointments are a wonderful mix of participation, feedback, and really digging into the garbage in my mind. I always leave her office feeling better than I did walking in. She's got a gift.

    She is an amazing counselor who I have referred many people to. She makes me feel comfortable opening up about the work I am doing for myself without judgment!
    Verified patient
    Dr. Dersch is amazing! I would highly recommend her counseling services. I tend to be the type of person who does not trust easily, and I keep my cards close so to speak. She makes me feel comfortable to discuss things that I know are helping me become a better version of myself. I truly feel heard and enlightened every time I see her!
    Charette was very personable and kind, making it very easy to open up. She was extremely intuitive and cut right to the heart of an issue without judgment or criticism, and allowed a safe space for vulnerability and honesty.
