My daughter developed a severe case of anxiety when she was 7years old. The anxiety was triggered by her fathers deployment. Her behavior changed so dramatically and severely we had no idea what was happening to her. A school counselor thought it might be anxiety and referred us to Safe Harbor. We spent a year there and she not only didn't get better, she got worse. (I definitely do not recommend anyone go there, ever.) We called around and found Valko and Associates. Dr Valko changed her dosage a couple of times and eventually changing her medication altogether. He had her talking with a therapist , out of his office, who was giving my daughter coping skills to use at home. It was a difference of night and day. My daughter was able to function in school again and our family was getting back to a level of normalcy that we hadn't experienced in a couple of years. Over the course of several years, learning to understand the anxiety and its triggers, she was able to be completely removed from all medication and therapy. Our experience with Valko and Associates was life altering. They got my daughter back to her previous carefree self and literally saved our family from the seemingly helpless place we were in. (I can't stress enough how bad our situation was!!) I would 100% recommend their services to ANYONE in our position. Everyone there was helpful and concerned for our situation and desperate need for help. Dr Valko on a couple of accessions met with us, in urgent situations, over his lunch break and stayed late once to see us. I really can't say enough about our experience with his office. read more
