Most people would say that this year, 2020, has been a difficult year for them. For me, that would…read morebe a significant understatement. With all honesty, 2020 has been the worst year of my entire life, and I have been increasingly overwhelmed with the feeling that my emotions are continuously descending into a bottomless chasm of sadness and despair. Doctor Frixione is a godsend. She helped to lead me out of my darkest moments, and she shed light on a personal problem that I have been struggling with for several years. My battle started many years ago as I struggled to understand the most painful experience I was starting to have in my life. Admittedly, I am an introvert, and I am rather reluctant to share my personal problems even with my closest friends and family members. This behavior, combined with my hesitation about seeing a therapist, only prolonged my suffering. I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person, and because of this I erroneously believed that I could solve my own emotional problems. I had also never seen a therapist before in my life, so I saw no reason to start now. This was foolish on my part. After struggling for multiple years and seeing no end in sight, I finally sought help by confiding in a close friend and asking for his advice. I'll never forget what he told me. He said, "Would you allow your gardener to perform a surgery on you? Would you ask your dentist to work on your car? No! Everyone has an expertise, and even as talented as you are, people like you or I are not qualified to resolve something like this. You should seek help from a psychologist." My journey to find a trustworthy psychologist then began. Doctor Frixione was the number-one recommendation to me by my Primary Care Physician (PCP). I immediately scheduled an appointment with her and then began the process of explaining my struggles to her. She is truly amazing. She is easy to talk with and her expertise covers numerous areas, some of which challenge the vast majority of people throughout their lives. After only seeing her about five times, she already understood the root of my problem. Now, please understand this critical point: Doctor Frixione understood the root of my problem in about five hours, and this was a problem that I still did not understand after several years. And, I was still struggling with this problem too, so I obviously could not solve this on my own. Understanding the root of my problem was truly an epiphany for me. Doctor Frixione not only helped me understand the complexity of my problem at a fundamental level, she also referred me to several self-help books that could even shed more light on this from others that experienced this same problem. I was really amazed at how perceptive, sympathetic and helpful Doctor Frixione was for me, and quite frankly, I was also upset at myself for taking so very long to see her. I wasted so much time in my life by not seeking professional help earlier. Please don't be like me...if you need help from a psychologist, get it right away. And if you do need help and you live in the area, I highly recommend Doctor Frixione to assist you on your journey toward a healthier you. She has easily earned five stars for helping me to begin recovering from my emotional suffering, and for revealing a path forward for my life that is far more healthy and positive.

I love Dr. Frixione. She was recommended to me from another doctor in the area, Dr. Nasser. I have…read morebeen going to her for nearly 6 months to talk about my mental health and my eating disorder. She makes me feel heard and not judged which is extremely important to me in counseling. The girl at the front desk is always extremely nice and tries her best to personally remember my schedule/availability off the top of her head which I appreciate. My only problem is I hardly ever catch anyone when I call on the phone in instances when I need to reschedule and instead am just directed to leave a voicemail, but the great service makes it worth a few minutes of irritation.

Half the population has issues in their adult life, probably more in the stressful AV,and it is silly to suffer silently, or rely on friends with no skills, to limp along with spouses, kids, parents, coworkers, substance abuse, dysphoria. I've seen a few doctors at MFCC of AV and am very impressed. They are skilled, compassionate and affordable, even without insurance. Several take medicaid. They are not always accessible, and perhaps not a first choice for crisis interventions, but if you can work with them for 10 sessions or more on their schedule, your mental state and quality of life will surely improve. You will learn about yourself and take control. Don't think your problems are hopeless - get help. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
