“Dr. Balci is helping me through some pivotal changes in my life. I am grateful to have found her-the guidance is everything I need to make (and stick to) changes in my life. ”

“After years of battling treatment-resistant depression, I had lost hope. I had tried everything—Mayo Clinic, U of M, Stanford’s TMS program, ketamine, psilocybin, neurofeedback, diet changes, cold plunges, and countless medications. Nothing worked. By the time I met Dr. Balci, I was exhausted and skeptical.
But she met me with kindness, compassion, and a quiet confidence I had lost in myself. From the start, she had a thoughtful, intentional plan—even when I couldn’t see it. She told me we’d go through this journey together, and she truly meant it.
With her guidance, I’ve finally found relief after seven years of crippling depression. This illness had taken so much, but as I heal, I’m reconnecting with parts of myself I thought were lost forever.
I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for Dr. Balci. She is brilliant, compassionate, and life-changing. If you’ve lost hope, you just haven’t met Dr. Balci yet.”
