It doesn't say it here, but Dr. McFadden is also a registered nurse (RN). For this reason, she excels at helping people with chronic illnesses, pain issues, etc. I started seeing her years ago for depression related to chronic pain/illness. There's no such thing as medical "TMI" with Dr. McFadden: she listened to everything I had to say very matter of factly. She never seemed judgemental -- you know how some therapists seem to be looking down their noses at you? She's really not like that. She was always engaged in our conversations, and always led me in a great direction.
Really, I don't know how I would have survived everything without Dr. McFadden's compassion and wisdom. She is a lovely person inside and out, and her medical background gives her really wonderful insights into chronic pain, chronic illness, weight/eating disorders, and many other things.
As a counselor/therapist, I can't say enough good things about her: she really was a godsend for me in the times when my illness came out of remission. read more
