Dr. Stephen J. Oreski and Associates have been an extraordinary source of support and healing during one of the most challenging times in my life. After experiencing a devastating breakup and job loss, I was overwhelmed by deep depression and in urgent need of professional help. When I initially called for an appointment, the receptionist exhibited exceptional kindness and determination, assuring me she would find a spot for me despite their full schedule. True to her word, she called back within hours and matched me with a therapist who has been nothing short of life-changing.
For the past seven months, I have been working with this therapist and can confidently say that I am now in a much better place, thanks to their unwavering support and expertise. The practice's well-trained staff provides outstanding service, offering everything from free phone consultations to in-person therapy sessions. Even on days when I could not attend in person, they accommodated me with virtual sessions, ensuring that I never felt alone in my journey.
The dedication and compassion shown by Dr. Stephen J. Oreski and his team have truly transformed my life. Their holistic approach to mental health care, flexibility, and commitment to patient well-being have allowed me to make significant strides in my recovery. I can never thank them enough for their positive impact on my life. I eagerly look forward to continuing my growth journey with them and viewing life through a brighter, more hopeful lens. This practice has provided me with the tools to overcome my struggles and a renewed sense of optimism and resilience.

My son and I have been seeing Courtney Angeles for over a year now and she has been amazing. I have since moved out of state during the pandemic but she continues to be there for me until I can settle in and find someone new to see in person. Thank you you have truly helped us through some tough situations and emotions.
