Village Mind and Body take their time with their patients and make sure that they meet your needs. They treat you like family. I like the after hours that they keep so you dont have to lose work. I also like the fact that they dont drag out your treatments, they get you in, fix your problems and get you out. It was all around a pleasant experience!

When I first walked into Dr. Bradys office, I was severely depressed and experiencing very negative feelings. I was apprehensive about visiting a new doctor, but his knowledgeable, interested and understanding demeanor convinced me that I was most definitely in the presence of the doctor who would help me, and be there for me whenever I needed him. I am so grateful for the progress that I have achieved thanks to my therapy with Dr. Brady. I was quite nervous about my meeting with Dr. Tonya Houghton for a psychotherapy session for my major depression and bi-polar issues. I had tried hypnotherapy

I've been coming here for the last few weeks and I've had about 5-6 sessions. These guys are great with their diagnoses and treatments. I think they are fairly priced compared to other places. I saw that another user on here took the 200 question psych test for $1000. I took the same test and I believe that it diagnosed my conditions accurately. It is a third party test that compiles all your answers and yes, it is pricey but you can't really put a price on your mental health. I'm 43 and I wish I had done this in my 20s. My life and my family and friends would've been better for it. YOU CAN'T FIX

I can't say enough about the experience that my husband and I continue to have with the Tonya and Doc Brady. They have helped our relationship tremendously through both perspectives of Woman v/s Man thinking. We are newly married, husband deployed, and we have had a rough start. Through counseling and coaching we have become closer and overall improved our marriage.

I contacted Dr. Brady for help with a health crisis that was taking a toll on my mental health. With Dr. Brady and Tonya's help I was able to take my life back. I never tried this help before and found it to be extremely helpful. Dr Brady did a great job hearing my concerns and finding me a path forward. With Dr Brady and Tonya's guidance I was able to recover within months not years. Both are extremely helpful and good people.
