Very well done. I was able to go back into my early childhood and explain a few things.
Kara is so kind and genuinely cares about me and the things that make me happy. Thank you!
Kara is the kindest, most attentive, and understanding provider I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism, and knowledge base is unmatched. Truly the best!
Ashley is amazing..... highly recommend!
Every visit helps. Kara helps me confirm my decisions. She has assured me she will help me in locating a new physician and therapist. My anxiety level is down. She understands my condition and why. My upcoming move will get me active again which I need. Suddenly I have lots of work to do. Kara, thank you for your caring and insight! Your good!
Ashley has been understanding and compassionate.
Dr Gaumond makes me feel heard, cared about and offers amazing knowledge. She's helped me get back to a healthy place that I haven't felt in a long time and I can't thank her enough.
Very kind. Appreciate her thoughtfulness.
Courtney listens & empathizes with the perfect balance of professionalism and care. We talked about a multitude of events & I felt comfortable opening up in a way I never have before. It was a safe non- judgemental space. Courtney is incredible.
Courtney is very caring and will listen to me yammer on and go off on tangents for an hour. Or if I'm not in a manic state, asks questions to get the conversation stared.
Ashley was very professional, receptive, and engaging. She made me feel heard and provided the proper medical support that I needed.
Kind, understanding, professional and efficient. Kara is awesome!
I’m so glad I met her. She understands where I’m at. She is real.
Awesome provider who always listens to me and respects my care goals
I’m very pleased with the therapy sessions as Kara has a good grasp of my worries, troubles and concerns. She understands that my haunting mental history is something I’m still struggling with. She is helping me look forward and has pointed out some options I have and some decisions I need to commit to in the near future. Medication has relieved my anxiety and allowed me to focus on one task at a time.
MS.Kara is the best!
McKenna is a wonderful practitioner. She is extremely personable & empathetic. In all the years I have sought mental health services, this is the first time I have felt entirely heard. I also love how evidence based her decision making is, she is exceptionally knowledgeable.

Personable, caring, understanding, validating. I wish she could be my weekly therapist too!
Ashley is thoughtful, attentive, and efficient! She listens to my concerns and provides actual solutions and input on treatment options, but also allows me the agency to make my own medical decisions, all while informing me of the pros and cons of the treatment path. She has been a lifesaver, and has helped me effectively manage my conditions without judgment, which has allowed me to fulfill personal and professional goals. 1000000/5 stars.
