I unfortunately won’t be seeing her again. She took a phone call during our session and it was unprofessional when I was waiting for her to end the call. While she was helpful in a few ways, overall I didn’t feel affirmed and felt my experiences were undermined at times. I chose her initially because she had really good reviews, but I left the session disappointed and feeling like it was a waste of my time

It was my first session, the Doctor didn't really seem to care about knowing me and my background. All she asked was whether I ever had suicidal thoughts/behavior. After I said no, she didn't seem to want to listen anymore. As if all she wants to avoid is someone endanger themselves but nothing beyond that... I would definitely not recommend her to anyone. But if you just need medication refill...

I felt that Dr. Katz actually listened to what to what I was trying to tell her, without being dismissive, and had a real interest in treating my issues.

The VSEE clinic would not load on my computer. I called the doctor's office and they tried to walk me through it. Unsuccessful so we used my phone instead. I know I could not retrace it again. The doc said the mic was bad so she had to call me. Not sure where y'all came it at all since it was psycare and LifeStance which allowed me access to my appointment.
