No one wants to have a therapist - it's just not something you do because you had a slow weekend…read moreand nothing else seemed like a good idea. By the time you land yourself on that infamous couch something has already gone wrong in your life. The good news is that if you're knee-deep in bad times and looking to get yourself out, there's no better place to turn than Roger Jagow. Without being overbearing or demanding, Mr. Jagow has helped me work past several problems I had with the world, and my life is much better off for it. Sure, it would be better to never had to have to set foot in that office, but since I have to, I'd much rather it be his than a more aggressive counselor. If you're looking for a good second opinion or a (mental) helping hand to get you through a rough spot, but you don't want to be judged as a person to pushed into a plan of action you're not comfortable with, Mr. Jagow might be the right therapist for you.

Have spent the past three years in counseling, in another state, at my own expense, with superb help and guidance to get off of one unnecessary psychotropic drug, and another (a benzodiazepin) , never should be prescribed for more than one to two week's usage, and is dangerous to life threatening to get off of without proper help, which Mayo psychiatrists do not believe in. No one should seek psychiatric help, in any form, from the Mayo Clinic.

I came to this clinic for a second opinion. I had been seeing my psychiatrist for over 10 years…read moreand felt that he was getting no where, and I wasn't getting any better. I decided to come to this clinic for a second opinion. I was very glad I did. I had a very complicated history and the staff took their time and reviewed my case, talked with me, and referred me to other professionals they felt might assist. In the end, they recommended a total change of direction. While I initially was a bit hesitant to go in a new direction, I took a leap of faith and followed their recommendations. Boy was I glad I did.....I have returned home, followed their suggestions, dropped my old psychiatrist, found a new psychiatrist and have been feeling better than I have in numerous years. Thanks Mayo!!!!
