I've been working with Dr. Hamilton for a little over four years now, and I can say confidently that he has saved my life. I have never met a physician or therapist who cares so profoundly for each individual patient. Whether I am the first patient of the day or am squeezing in a late appointment on a Friday, I am always greeted with a calm, caring demeanor and an a mind that is so strongly rooted in the present moment. I'm particularly grateful that I am able to see him for medication checks in addition psychotherapy. Anytime I've needed a dosage change or a new medication, he's able to see the effects in real time and adjust the plan as needed. He is beyond brilliant. His prior background in philosophy comes in handy as he will turn to words of various philosophers to make sense of feelings that are hard to name. He has changed the trajectory of my life and given me a sense of power to live a beautiful life in spite of a challenging past. It has taken a lot of hard work, but I can confidently say he has helped me turn into a person that I am proud to be. I wish everybody could have a Dr. Hamilton in their lives.
