Report
Was a client for 2-3 years. Would not recommend to anyone besides very basic issues that can be helped with meds. The doctor did not comprehend trauma or early childhood complex issues even a little bit, They know a very old and outdated style of pathologizing/medicalizing mental health and they fundamentally never understood my issues or how to help me. They were dedicated to their work, but extremely expensive and yet not able to provide basic value in any meaningful capacity besides for providing many different kinds of very unhelpful medications and gathering data as if I was a calculator.
