So happy we found him and can't recommend him enough! Zach Kissell has also been wonderful for individual counseling, and the ladies who help up front have always been kind and efficient! I haven't personally used the other therapists, but would imagine they are all wonderful and all seem to have specialties that could be very helpful for people looking for help in specific areas. Highly recommend!

This was the most horrible experience I have ever had. I came here in a complete time of crisis. I…read morewas unsafe and explained my situation. The counselor was uncaring and only took my basic information instead of helping me through the crisis and at the very least giving me some resources of places that would be willing to help me. I spent $100, as I considered it to be an ER type visit. The counselor quickly ended our session, pushing me into the lobby when I was still sobbing uncontrollably. It was humiliating to be pushed into the small lobby with that level of emotion in front of 2 men and a child, with a woman who came in as well. Even the receptionist did not offer my to use their bathroom to wash up or Kleenex. All they wanted was to be paid and me out of there. This is absolutely the last place I would send anyone to. If you want help, resources, connection don't waste your time and/or money. This place does not even worthy of 1 star. 2/8/2020 You were correct about one thing, I did not get charged $100...I got charged for $200 and it shows on the bottom that I used a debit or credit card. Nice way to outright lie about your counseling group. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. People in need of proper counseling beware.

She's been instrumental in helping me to grow and move past many traumas and core beliefs that I had repressed for years that were eating away at me. Her CBT methodology is very sound and she has a great deal of patience. She provided me with many resources that gave me the education I needed to continue growing on my own. She was very good at knowing when to dig in and help me face my problems, even when difficult, and when to take time to strengthen our bond/trust. Overall, I am very happy with her services and I'm extremely grateful to focus forward for employing her and enabling her to do her work.

I was trying to get through college when my mental health became extremely bad, and my family and I realized I needed help. With all of the skills I learned in therapy, and getting on the right medication I am now back in school and doing well as well as working at a daycare. My insurance did not cover this place, so I had to get it approved and written off, but they did and I am so grateful because it was close to home and such a fantastic place. They also allow phones every day from 6-9 after the initial period which is a big plus to stay connected to the outside world if you have kids or just don't want or need to be completely cut off. If you are struggling with mental health it is okay to reach out and take some time off in order to be your best self again. This place allows you to do it in a safe environment. It is very scary but worth it!

I have never felt…read morejudged or uncomfortable here and I ended up at this office after having a prior psychiatrist resign. Due to a condition of mine, I was turned away from many offices without even being given a chance because the psychiatrists didn't "feel comfortable" treating me, the diagnosis was new and the reaction from so many professionals was disheartening and I was really afraid that I would not be able to find someone who would see me, despite nothing having changed about me except for what was on paper. I am very grateful for those closed doors, since it lead me here. I have been supported through everything while at this office; including insurance being pains in everyones' butts and nosy pharmacists too! I cannot say enough good things about how they treat their patients here, and I have been working with Dr. Fareed for close to 2 years now- I can say with confidence that he cares about his practice and that he actually listens. He doesn't rush through appointments and he is always kind. He can be firm in his judgment, as he should be; this means he is confident in his approach. I personally have found so much success and a new improved quality of life after trusting the process. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is in need of a compassionate, supportive environment- especially if they have hit a dead end with their treatments, whether it be treatment resistance or something else.

100% BEST DR EVER HANDS DOWN!!!…read more I have been a patient of Dr. Vastanti's for almost a year now. I had to relocate to another state for business reasons and I'm going to have to get another doctor which breaks my heart. She has become more than just my doctor. She has become more than just a counselor that I can trust, more than just a therapist who really listens. She has become a true, close and valued friend who is genuinely interested in my well-being and in me achieving my best daily healthy self. I have never once been left hanging when I would ask a question. I have never been ignored or disregarded as just another patient. Several times I have needed her help in situations that were very important and in every single situation not only was I responded too quickly and professionally, but was also responded to in a respectful and caring manner as well. On top of that, the advice and information that she so generously gives is always extremely relevant and helpful. Because of her help, kindness, wisdom, experience and genuine care I have seen a complete turnaround in my life. There's no doubt in my mind or heart that God Himself had a hand in bringing Dr. Noushin Vastani into my life to get me the help that I needed. Help that I tried to get from several other professionals, but was not able to find. I highly recommend her and can tell you with full assurance that she will care for everyone who comes into her office with the exact same heart, kind-hearted manner, and genuine interest in your life! Not resting until you find all the answers needed is just the kind of person she is to the core! She truly desires to see each of her patients become the best healthy versions of themselves that they can possibly become! I speak this from experience! Thank you Dr. V with all of my heart for everything! You're definitely #1 in my eyes and I wish you only the best and every possible success and joy life has to offer. Thank you for helping me get my life back!
