Catherine was absolutely phenomenal! She was so kind and gentle in her approach to my mental health concerns. She thoroughly listened to everything I had to say & had great solutions! Finding the right psychiatric care can sometimes be difficult, but this is the best experience I’ve ever had! I would highly recommend her!

I reached out to Catherine to get help for the challenges I was facing with my mental health. Talking with Catherine, she actively listened to me, took the time to understand the problems I was facing, and then offered the necessary solutions that would help me tackle them. I had a pleasure talking with her — she was respectful and communicated everything in a sound manner. I would recommend her!

Her office are so unprofessional. They will charge you fees without telling you! And she just repeats what you say and don’t have any feedback whatsoever!
Verified patientVideo visit
She is so great. She always answers my questions and makes me feel welcomed. She listens to me and takes me serious. Overall shes great and would reccomend her to all my friends.
This was a terrible experience. The provider was young and inexperienced. I have autoimmune disease so am on a number of medications and called for a 2nd opinion and potentially to move my psychiatric care to this provider. She listened, then her response made me feel awful and she noted she would have to talk to her senior provider to get more input on my case before she could treat me. She said I would hear back in a day. One month later - with numerous follow ups from me - she said she would not treat me because she perceived I was in a polypharmacy situation. If you want to feel worst about your mental health challenges, by all means, reach out to this provider but if you are looking for help, this is not the place.
My visit was amazing. It was the fastest and most effective visit Ive ever had. I had such an amazing expierence especiallg since I told her I have anad history with doctors.
