Very highly recommended!

I had already tried 6 different therapists in the past and we never managed to achieve any positive outcomes. After years of desperate searching, someone mentioned Parkside Psychological Services to me and I decided to give it a try. I have worked with two different psychologists so far related to the evolving nature of my psychological needs. The practice offers various styles and approaches to match all individual needs. The therapists there practice driven by compassion for their patients. Currently I have been working with Dr. Jeffery Vergo exploring personal self-concept and perceptions of interpersonal relations. Dr. Vergo guides, supports, validates, and challenges and I always feel the positive effects his sessions have in my life. I highly recommend this practice.

After working with 2 different psychologists I just didn't feel comfortable enough to open up to, I was referred to Jayne. In our first session, she made me feel safe and comfortable enough to be honest and open about everything I had bottled up inside.

I would not have made it through my adolescent and early adult years without her to help me.
