Dr. Ola is very understanding and compassionate doctor. My visits with her are never rushed. She takes time to listen to your problems and concerns. Dr. ola and my therapist make a great team.
It’s been quite the journey trying to find a psychiatrist that actually listens and understands the struggles I’m having, rather than assuming they know what’s best. I’ve only seen Dr. Tundo twice but he’s already collaborated with my therapist and guided me in a direction that may actually help what I’m experiencing. He’s very thorough in giving options and explaining medications. I would highly recommend him!
Chris and Phillicia are an amazing team. They have been a crucial part of helping me get started on my healing journey. I highly recommend A Village Wellness to assist you with your healing journey!! Lastly please support this business because they genuinely care!! A Village Wellness I appreciate you all so much!!
My Safe Hatbor counselor is amazing. I truly owe everything that is going well with me emotionally to him. He has been invaluable to my sanity, my family and even my coworkers. I have made many changes and difficult, thoughtful decisions with the help of Jonathan! I cannot say enough about this organization!
An organization full of caring, motivated people who genuinely want to make a difference in the lives of others. It's a Black led nonprofit dedicated to caring for people with mental illness and intellectual disabilities. The work isn't glamorous, but someone has to do it, and the org tries hard to take care of its staff as well as its clients. Definitely one to watch!
