I’ve been with Andrey and his team for a year now and don’t want to leave! From the very first session, he helped me open up and start putting my life back together. Every session feels like talking to a friend—it’s always enjoyable in his relaxed atmosphere.
Did WISC-V testing and it was a great experience for my elementary-aged child. We worked with Dr. Ziemer and Ms. Shannon. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. It was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Came on a Monday and was able to find street parking and their building easily. I highly recommend!! My child enjoyed it.
Wonderful experience! In my intake with Dr Mao, she listened patiently and carefully to my mental and physical health history. She asked questions and showed genuine interest in me and my challenges. After that, she identified some treatment options that could suit my financial and mental health needs. It was a truly first-rate experience and would surely recommend!

When I first came to the program, I was very depressed and anxious, along with other things. Overtime, I got to learn a lot of skills to help me cope with stress and triggers, and felt connected to the group therapist and group peers! When I finished the program, I felt like myself again, more confident and a little more at ease.
