After about 15 years of going through a plethora of all kinds of therapists and not clicking with any one of them, I found myself in the cozy office of Kim Skelton. In the past, I've had a really difficult time opening up to therapists, but Kim made me feel so at ease from our very first session. She's so approachable and easy to talk to and never judgmental no matter what I confide in her. She has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met. She makes me feel supported and loved and I always feel better knowing she's rooting for me to get better. Kim is also very accessible. If I need to reach her

Dr. Ilona Csapo is absolutely brilliant. Words cannot express how truly thankful I am for her. Shes extremely compassionate and takes the time to listen. The world needs more ppl like her! Kim Skelton is equally as great. She is extremely attentive to her clients needs and also shows true compassion. Schedule with her if you can for sure!

I've gone through one counselor after another, until I started visiting Willow Wellness. Dr. C monitors my meds and Kim helps me keep my life together. I truly feel like my feelings matter and Kim has insights unlike cookie cutter responses from most counselors. I'm so glad I found this place. :-)

Dr. Csapo has always been an amazing doctor to me. She listens to my needs, and knows my condition well. She was able to diagnose me using her knowledge of adverse medication reactions, and the medication she has prescribed me has changed my life and helped me regain stability. She helps me combat side effects, and works with my needs to find the right balance and dosage for my medication. I am now capable of juggling a demanding job, a serious relationship, and a busy home life with much more ease. Of course, staying in weekly counseling is important for my mental health, but for medication

Love this place and the people that work there. Everybody is extremely nice and treats you with dignity and respect. Dr. Csapo is a genuinely good person, very down to Earth and knows how to treat her clientele as patients and as people. 5 stars for sure. I've been to one other place in Asheville and it was nowhere near the quality as Willow.

The care that each individual at Willow Wellness provides for clients is apparent- the office itself is soothing, tidy, and inviting. I am always greeted with lots of warmth and familiarity by the folks at the front desk, offered hot tea and encouraged to spend time with the friendly dogs, if they are having an office visit. My experience with Dr. Csapo has been nothing but positive- she is direct, kind, and funny, and offers tons of warm encouragement coupled with thorough explanations of what the heck is going on in my brain. I feel totally relieved to have found psychiatric services like these
