She's right there interacting with them, meeting them where they are, and helping them learn as they play. It's clear how much care and thought she puts into what she does. Our kids feel comfortable with her, and we appreciate the patience and warmth she brings to every session. We'd absolutely recommend Claire to any family looking for a caring, hands-on therapist for their child.

I met Dr. Levinson in 2010 when I was 22 years old. I was in full blown mania and psychosis. Dr…read more Levinson, the first psychiatrist ever, got me on the right meds and I haven't had a manic break since then. He also directed me to start Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and later diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder. Bipolar disorder is a delicate dance and Dr. Levinson works to understand the chemicals in my brain so that the dance continues to be smooth. The best thing he ever told me was, "you can be whatever you want, this won't stop you".

I was impressed by Dr. Roman from the moment I met her, when I noted the genuine interest she…read moreexpressed while delving into the purpose of my visit, ascertaining both my emotional / mental / psychological concerns while also evaluating symptoms through a clearly a wholistic, integrative assessment process. Her ability to diagnose from an impressive medical standpoint as well as intuit from years of experience is matched only be her pragmatic treatment approach. I found that she took not only professional but also personal interest in my well being and my progress, in particular. I'm so grateful to Dr. Roman, as I smile just thinking of her profound part in my therapeutic journey :), and I recommend her helpful and very supportive services highly. =)

I recently moved to the US and I take prescription medication. I don't have a prescription in the…read moreUS and I'm running out of pills, so I don't know what to do. I called Carmen Roman to schedule an appointment and tried to explain my situation, and she just said "I can't help you" and hung up the phone. She did not ask if there is anything at all she can do to help me and she did not care if I am in a dangerous situation. I guess that's how they taught her to behave in the university of Peru where she went to medical school.

We have been taking our daughter, now 14, to Dr. Amin since 2010. We have moved with Dr. Amin to…read moredifferent offices because we have found her to be successful at treating our daughters ADHD/ODD and Anxiety. Our daughter is very comfortable with her and very adverse to change. We have been to many other psychiatrists, both in CA and WA since our daughter was 5 years old. Dr. Amin is compassionate, caring, and thoughtful. She has tried hard to find the right mix of medication and in some cases, opted to decrease medications that she felt would be harmful in the long run. It's taken some trial and error but we have found a good mix of therapy & medication for where we are now and with her maturity level. There is no magic bullet and no magic doctor in our experience. It takes mix of therapies and doctors and we've found Dr. Amin to be effective. We also have learned to manage our doctors and speak up as an advocate for our daughter. Question everything. Dr. Amin is open and receptive from our point of view. She also recommended we visit the CHC in Palo Alto for testing. The CHC was a VERY expensive 8 weeks. Painful to drive to PA in rush hour 2x a week with a toddler in tow as well. In the end...same result. Back to Dr. Amin. Back to same meds. Her office staff has been an issue and I feel for the other patients as well. We have had some mediocre experiences with them as well, but I can't fault Dr. Amin for them per say. I think it's hard to find a good support staff in this area at ANY doctor's office. We try to plan ahead and schedule appointments out so to avoid calling in last minute. The office staff gets 2 stars. I hope they improve. I'm an optimist.

I believe I've been seeing Dr Amin for about 10 or 11 years now, since I was a young teenager…read more She's helped me tremendously through difficult times. I can't imagine seeing another psychiatrist. Dr Amin LISTENS and truly cares about her patients. I've never felt rushed during an appointment but on the contrary I feel like she wants to hear everything I have to say and any questions I might have. Dr Amin sets the standard for healthcare.

After years of experiencing debilitating ADHD symptoms I went to Dr. Malik for an adult ADHD…read moreevaluation. Unfortunately, he could not help me, despite having this as a specialty on his website. We had two brief sessions and at the second session he said that I could not have ADHD since I've had a conventionally successful career and don't exhibit many of the hyperactive symptoms seen in textbook cases. He was fairly dismissive after I pushed him on why he could be so definite in his assessment, which was frustrating. I got two second opinions after Dr. Malik and they confirmed I exhibit many inattentive ADHD symptoms and should get a more comprehensive evaluation. Although he is a friendly person and I'm sure he means well, I cannot recommend him for ADHD testing unless you fit the typical hyperactive profile of someone with ADHD.

I've been seeing Karin for almost 15 years, and am continually impressed with her knowledge of…read morecurrent psychiatric and medical research and her commitment to improve my health. She was the one who recommended I have a sleep test... now I know I have severe sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine every night to give my brain the oxygen it needs. She was also the one who suggested I get tested for MTHFR gene SNPs.... now I know I am homozygous for the C677T allele and take L-methyfolate every day to normalize my neurotransmitter levels and reduce fatigue (as well as reduce my risk for certain heart diseases). Karen has also helped me adjust or switch anxiety medications several times, and seems to know the pros and cons of each drug available. I highly recommend her.

As a healthcare provider of 18-years since these encounters, I can take my experience in treating psychiatric issues into account as a fellow professional. The performance of Dr. Capelle is above the average provider I've worked with-both as a patient and colleague, and I can easily recommend him as someone that is astute in all aspects of psychiatry and neurology.

Finding a great psychiatrist/psychotherapist can be very difficult. When you find one you click…read morewith, you kind of just "know". After a few sessions with Dr. Reed I knew she was a perfect fit for me. I've struggled with depression pretty much my entire adult life, so I know what it looks like and generally what works and does not work for me. Dr. Reed didn't try to reinvent the wheel or push any pre-defined notion of what she thought my treatment should be - she listened to me and what I wanted to improve upon in order to devise a plan that worked. She did challenge some assumptions and suggest many things I had not thought of (which was great!), but never in a way that felt like she didn't trust my own assessment of my feelings and my health. We landed on a plan that included medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (both of which I had positive outcomes with previously), as well as incorporating some new mindfulness practices that have been very helpful. Overall my experience with Dr. Reed has been fantastic, and while I wouldn't presume to know what everyone is looking for in a doctor, I highly recommend giving her a try.

I highly recommend the services of Dr. Cathrine Reed of Peninsula Mental Health. Notably, she is…read morevery well organized and detailed oriented in her practice. Thus, her notes of office visits and her questions that begin each session are extremely thorough. In addition, she is also cautious and careful as she works with you to determine the best plan for treatment. At all times, Dr. Reed has the patient's needs and concerns in mind. Recognizing the impact of increased environmental stress and other factors, Dr. Reed effectively adjusted and refocused my prescriptions accordingly. Perhaps most notably, Dr. Reed is interested in the whole patient. As such, she takes time to listen and to hear what you feel is happening before she determines a course of action. Dr. Reed has a calm demeanor as well as personal warmth that makes her accessible. At the same time, she upholds the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. She is an excellent choice for someone in need of a psychiatrist. Justin E.
