I got in touch with Eric at Rising Calm to help me work through ADHD tendencies that I have. Our sessions have been so holistic and have helped me go far beyond what I first came in for. I have the skills and confidence to take on so much more and be a better version of myself at work, in my marriage, and in my church. Eric is good at listening to your experience and needs and responding with good, actionable suggestions where they are needed. I'd highly recommend him for anyone living with ADHD.
I have been a patient of Dr. Marchese for about 9 years now. I honestly don’t know where I would be on my journey of mental wellbeing without him. I had struggled through about 38 years of my life without proper diagnoses until meeting Dr. Marchese. I am so glad he was able to recognize things that other doctors had overlooked previously. I also like that he doesn’t just jump on the bandwagon of whatever new medications are out that haven’t had (in my opinion) adequate time for determining harmful or adverse side effects. He tends to lean more towards the tried and true. Which I prefer bc I personally like to see what long term effects these medications have on patients. Not just how they are after a couple years of taking them. I’m very thankful that I was able to find Dr. Marchese when I did and finally get properly diagnosed. While I still have my challenges & always will, at least I have a much firmer grip on my mental stability than before thanks to him.
