Hi Yelpers! As a veteran of the US Armed Forces, I encountered an event while on duty, that altered the course of my journey through life, that ended my career. I sustained a head trauma, that set me on a different path. This meant lots of treatment and ongoing recovery, and ongoing treatment as a lifestyle. I recently was referred to DFW Psychological for an evaluation by Dr. K. Jermany. When you have seen dozens of different clinicians, specialists, of all related fields over the course of more than 3 decades as have I, you go in with the sense of dread, but also skepticism. I always try to overcome that with the new doctor in order to give them a fair chance. Maybe they will help, or maybe not, but if not, I don't want my attitude to be the reason. From the moment I walked into DFW Psy, the lighting is warm, soothing, the office just seems to welcome you. The intake specialists aren't abrupt, but greet you with smiles, and extend the warmth the office lighting already wrap you in. First time meeting Dr. Jermany, she seems intuitive that you are there, because you need help. She is gentle, friendly, personable, and not "white lab coat" sterile like some in the profession can be. The warmth that you entered too, extended by the intake personnel, continues with Dr. J. It's hard enough to process some of what I deal with not understanding it, though I have been in so many different offices, tests, discussions. This was a rare moment of ah haa! I won't lie and say that for once I feel hopeful. I am not there yet, and don't know when that will happen. I do now feel a since of "that" hope can be possible, because I got some answers that have alluded me in past experiences with counselors and psychologists. Took some tests/evaluations the VA in 30+ years may not have had the resources or wherewithal to have me take. Not blaming them though, just thankful I now have someone outside that system to guide me through some of this. If you are reading this, I hope I haven't drug your mood down. But if any of this is familiar to you, and you need a bit of help? I hope you reach out to someone close to you. If you need professionals to help guide you to a better path, give DFW Psychological a ring. None of us should feel alone in our struggles. None of us should be ashamed to ask for help. Take care of yourselves, your loved ones, and don't forget to help others out here struggling day to day. Find a charity of your choosing, and if you have time, money, anything to be of service to others, do so. You help yourself when you help others. Peace. read more
