“This was my first time meeting with a therapist. I kept putting it on the back burner because I was nervous about the whole process. I was able to make the appointment online and have a video visit. Emily was easy to talk to and very understanding. I felt like I could really open to to her without judgement. The whole process was much easier than I expected. I am so happy with the entire experience.”

“This was my first therapy appointment ever I was really anxious and nervous for it, but she was so sweet and kind and made me feel comfortable as if I was talking to one of my friends. She was a great listener and had a very clear communication. I’m excited to meet with her in the future!”

I never had the appointment
March 2, 2026Nicole C.Verified patientVideo visit
I made an appointment with Megan Ortega. Doctor Ortega gave this appointment to her employee. I looked up the employee information, and she is just not a fit for me, so I had to reschedule because I did not know how to get on to the camera, but I will cancel this appointment and find someone else. However, Wren is VERY nice. Just not for me.

Meghan was great to talk to. She listened to my current experiences and where I was at. She thoughtfully talk to me through her approach, and how we could best work together. Looking forward to future sessions.!

Megan is great. Very attentive as a listener and I really felt she values each and every one of her clients time. I appreciated how she took time to understand me and my styles of therapy that work well for me versus what does not. I was provided with validation for how I'm feeling and also informative coping tools I can start implementing right away. I left my first intro appointment with Megan feeling better than I did when it started and hopeful towards my journey of healing.
