We found out I had a few minor health issues that was contributing to my mental health. A few supplements later and some neuro feedback sessions and I feel great. My problems feel much more like normal people problems now. Mike is incredibly kind, funny and knowledgeable about many things. He gave me lots of advice about eating better foods, exercise and pain relief. He is a great encourager and was an awesome listener during our sessions. He was very supportive and helped me fight to find the solutions that worked best for me. I would recommend him to anyone!

I was afraid of therapy, I was afraid of being over medicated. I had a lot of fears, I had a lot of…read morepre-expectations. I was afraid that I would get someone that just wanted to push pills on me. Afraid of a big stooge for big pharma. What I found instead was a psychiatric nurse practitioner (I hope I got that right) That explains to me what he's prescribing and why, making sure that I understand it before moving forward. I always feel like I'm in control of my own treatment and I never feel pressured and I always feel welcome and comfortable. Mike has made me feel comfortable and alleviated all my fears, and I never even had to state them to him, he's just a chill guy on top of being good at the medicine aspect of mental health. The whole office he works out of his very professional and it comes highly recommended by me.

What sets him apart is his ability to balance naturopathic and allopathic approaches in a way that's truly tailored to you as an individual.

Working with him has been a genuinely positive experience, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dedicated practitioner who takes your whole health seriously.

After almost 40 minutes, she came out of her office. She asked for my paperwork and I told her that I hadn't filled any out yet because no one was there. She got me the paperwork and said I had to get it filled out before she could talk to me. Then she hovered over me, sighing and telling me to hurry up. Once we (finally) started my session, I told her one of the reasons I was there. She cut me off saying I should go to someone else with that. That's a fair statement but it was delivered in a completely wrong way. She let me continue with the session only to cut me off mid sentence and in tears so she could get her phone and start texting. When she came back she couldn't remember what I was talking about. I got charged around $200 for that experience. Needless to say, I will never go back and would never recommend this person to anyone looking for help.

Joan Williamson, MA LPC is an excellent counselor. I saw her off and on for about 3 years. I…read morestarted seeing her due to an eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, which I struggled with for 6 years of my life. She specializes in treating eating disorders and successfully helped me treat mine. She counsels on many other things such as grief/loss, relationships, anxiety, depression, and others. She has a very natural approach to treatment and I left with numerous words I reflect on in my every day life and other helpful coping techniques. I attribute a lot of my happiness today to the time I spend with Joan healing my body and mind on many levels. I highly recommend this lady for anyone going through a difficult time. She is part of Poyama Counseling services. A little bit more on my experience with the Poyama office: these people really work with you financially. They are happy regularly receiving payments even if it's $30 one month and $50 the next. I was never ever badgered about my bill (that for a while kept getting larger). I think they understand that by seeking help you may not be in the best place in your life to make a full and complete payment right away. I couldn't be more thankful for their understanding and kindness as I slowly chipped away at my bill even after my sessions were finished. If you are looking at seeing anyone in the Poyama network, know that the office practices good and kind business. They should be proud.

I'd ignored my needs for so long because I didn't wanted to address issues that seemed frivolous. I'm so glad I finally took time for me. Joan helped me more than she'll ever know. Her straight-forward, but kind manner was exactly what I needed. Her knowledge, experience and compassion gave me tools I'd never been given. Joan stayed connected with my dietician, Denise Cedar throughout the process & although it wasn't easy, getting here I no longer struggle with an eating disorder! Life is better than ever, career is on-track, family is good and I'll even be finished with an advanced degree soon. Thank you so much Joan! When I was ready...you were definitely a God-send!

When I first chose this location they were out of my network, but the fiscal staff told me they had submitted to be in my provider's network and expected to be in network within two weeks. I was fine with that. Fast forward to November and my counselor charged me for half of the services thus far, $160, and she told be it would be slightly more than that upon exit, ok no problem. Fast forward to this week and now I find out that the fiscal staff member that initiated my payment plan had been fired and they had had what sound like one or two other in that position between then and now. My exit payment is three times what I was expecting, over $600 and I am expected to pay that or stay in their program until I can pay it off. I explained that this is an unethical situation they are putting me in, it's their responsibility that they hired bad staff, and there is NO excuse why they couldn't have informed me of the staffing change, OR at least the difference in my exit amount TWO DAYS before graduating. As the exiting balance was between TWICE to THREE times their quoted amount from two months ago, I said I thought it would be fair for me to pay $300-$350. They requested I pay over $500, writing off $100 for the over $600 total. This place obviously still does NOT have their office/finances or internal staff communication in order and they will expect YOU to cover THEIR mistakes. The main guy had the nerve to say $100 was coming out of his pocket as he took over $300 extra out of mine due to HIS past staffing choices and current office miscommunications. I cannot recommend this facility.
