Joanna helped me more than I could ever have imagined. I had a very tough couple of years with my…read moremental health and Joanna gave me the tools and insight to get through anything life throws at me. We worked on childhood experiences that lead to negative ways that I felt about myself, why I made the choices that I did and gave me the ability to forgive and love myself. I really didn't like myself at all and now I can truly say that I love myself. It's amazing. It does take time and some hard work but it's so worth it. I am so grateful for all that Joanna gave me. And although I've "graduated" from therapy, I know I'll meet with Joanna again! I'm strong now but I'm incredibly self aware and I know that if life takes a curve Joanna will be there to help me continue to live my happy life!

I've been seeing Joanna for a little over a year now. Although I had been dealing with depression…read moreand a bit of anxiety for a few years, I was hesitant to go to a therapist. I had a pretty negative experience with therapists in my teens and was not eager to try again. However, I felt at ease with Joanna almost immediately. She is warm, direct and very empathetic and non-judgmental. I feel safe to explore whatever is going on with me. She very skillfully guides me to deeper places within myself, and to my own inner strength and resources. It is now very rare for me to get depressed, and if I feel anxious I use one of the many tools I've gotten from Joanna, and it doesn't last long.

I was very excited to begin my journey with Hope Counseling, until I received poor service. The…read moretherapist I was seeing at the time was Monique. I had explained to her that I struggled with anxiety and panic attacks. She suggested I breathe and count to ease the attack. I explained to her that breathing didn't work for me while I was panicking and proceeded to ask her if she ever experienced a panic attack. Rudely and abrasively, she answered "no". I think she got offended by my question. The following day she ended services with me. I contacted her to ask her why and to follow up and never got a response back. I then called the owner, Dorian and left a message. There was no response from either of them. I think this place is very unprofessional and lacks integrity. When you're in the business servicing people with a mental health diagnosis or vulnerable individuals , you need to be empathetic, understanding, patient and kind. We are ultimately letting our guards down and being vulnerable with our "trusted" provider. I suggest the company implements some sort of sanctuary model to ensure that the patients feel protected and the providers to provide quality, authentic, and professional care. -Kayla P.

He called me for a brief chat and we scheduled a appointment within a week. He offered me the choice of in person, or on zoom, which was nice. The zoom appointments are so convenient, it's reassuring knowing he's only a phone call away. Our conversations have always been very engaging, as he's tried to get to know me and understand my situation. It has given me valuable insight and perspective, he's been a huge help.

He takes my concerns very seriously, and it's clear to me that he wants to provide the best possible care to his clients. Finding a psychiatrist can be intimidating, I've never felt that way with Adam, he's caring, personable, and professional.
