Dr. McCormick is the most knowledgable psychiatrist I have ever dealt with and she is very open and kind.
Great listener who is willing to work with me to find the right solution for my challenges.

excellent
Appointment was standard med check for schdl 2 drug. Went quick and easy
Dr. McCormick is insightful and genuinely caring. She is a knowledgeable, out-of the box thinker with a holistic approach. I feel both heard and inspired every time that I see her. Highly recommend her!
Dr. McCormick has worked tirelessly to manage my weird side effects, while treating debilitating depression, and caring for me as a a whole person, always addressing the full picture.
I had a great experience and I felt very comfortable! Sarah was easy to talk to and felt like she listen and addressed all my concerns.
Sarah is so easy to talk and asks great reflection questions. I feel like she’s even more aware of my health than I am, which is a first with a psychiatrist. She is thorough and caring. I like her a lot.
Dr. McCormick has been an outstanding asset to my mental health.
Amazing, is an understatement. A very " non - clinical " , welcoming atmosphere upon arrival. Dr.McCormick conveys a very sincere, trusting aura that allows me to be open and honest about myself, and one does not have the feeling of being judged or " pre- diagnosed " . I can definitely, without reservation, recommend seeing Dr.McCormick for helping navigate this not so smooth road of life we travel.
Sarah is by far the best PA-C I have ever had. She is genuine by all accounts.
Needs met
Excellent experience, really thought carefully about the things I was talking about, presented truly useful options to begin working towards implementing solutions
Just from my first appointment -- Dr. McCormick is an incredible doctor! Very holisitic in nature and compassionate. Extremely smart and thorough. i look forward to working with Dr. McCormick more in upcoming sessions.
Sarah is attentive and knowledgeable. She is a great provider!
Sarah Dowd is very knowledgeable about all kinds of health topics. I've actually never had a doctor who I felt had such a wide range of up to date knowledge. She is also very personable, listens carefully, and makes sure I feel heard.
Shannon is truly amazing! She is wonderful to talk to, i can tell her something that i humiliated about and she instantly puts all fears at ease! Her way of making people comfortable is someone I've never experienced! Highly highly reccomend and am so thankful for her.
Sarah is such a thorough professional. She is very easy to talk to and provides me with several options. She is accessible outside of sessions for questions or concerns. I have the utmost trust being in her care.
.
Absolute treasure to find and attentive to an individual's needs with beneficial advice.
Today was my first ever experience with therapy. Even in my first session I felt heard. I'm eager to see how sessions continue to allow me to have tools and strategies to cope with life.
Dr. Sarah is always relaxed and ready to focus on our appointment. She is a good listener and provides feedback in a caring way. Our appointments are just right, not too long or too short.
It has been easy to make my appointment & access forms. I had no problems getting on zoom & my appointment started promptly at the scheduled time. I found my therapist easy to talk to about issues that I have been having. This is a good sign for the first visit.
Shannon is very attentive to my concerns and often asks me to share some experiences that seem to affect me.
