All around amazing. Dr. Anna Shier is so kind and attentive to her patients and really puts effort into helping improve lives as much as she can. And Dr. Brianna Aldrich is amazing aswell. Very thorough and thoughtful. Very thankful I found Shier Private Practice, I genuinely can not imagine a better psychiatrist office, this is by far the best.
100 % recommend this place for everyone! This clinic was clean and beautiful! The staff was welcoming and very nice to me and my daughter. Dr. Nathan is amazing! He took the time to listen to all my questions without making me feel like an idiot, and gave me options to consider and helped me decide what the best treatment plan would be for my daughter. Love this place and I am so excited to finally have some answers that we have been searching for for so long!
Healing Foundations Center changed my life. Before starting this program, I was in a really dark place and I felt completely hopeless. Upon entering the program, I was greeted by the entire team, and they showed compassion and empathy in a way that nobody had shown before and I knew I was in the right place. As I was in the program, I was impressed the whole time by how talented and intelligent the therapists were, they all knew their craft so well and I felt honored to be treated by them. They cover a lot of topics that you won’t find from other therapists, and you will learn a lot. Now that I have graduated from the program, I am in a far better place than I was before, and I am starting to enjoy life again. If you want to heal and are willing to put in the work, Healing Foundations is the place to go. Thank you guys for everything.
Alyssa is very compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and delightful. Her help to me and impact on my life over these many years of therapy have been invaluable. My quality of life has been exponentially increased through our therapy partnership. Being a therapist and dealing with people who are often at their worst and most desperate is a hard job. Alyssa does it unfailing with care and humor but also with boundaries that keep both patient and therapist safe.
We had an excellent experience with Dr Weston and the team at Scottsdale PBS. They were very prompt and communicative with the scheduling and very efficient with the testing and evaluations. We also found the follow up with info and advice very thorough and helpful. I would highly recommend!
I love how Doc Pe Benito explained everything about my son’s condition. She is very detailed, well versed on her craft and make sure that we receive the information right. The lady receptionist was very accommodating. I love the clin
