    "Dr." Munhutu is reckless in her prescribing practice and not qualified to care for pediatric…read morepatients. She took my family to the most vulnerable place we could go, and then she dropped us. She provided no follow up, no transfer of care. Nothing. She should have her board certification revoked. Our 6 year old child experienced an acute mental health crisis. We had one parent session, and then Fortunate also had 15 minutes of virtual introduction to our child for which she asked me to leave the room. She prescribed medication without taking a medical history for my child or a complete family history from us. She did not provide any explanation of risks or potential side effects. Our child began experiencing significant side effects. The school called us with behavioral concerns. The medication, it turns out, is contraindicated for individuals with a certain family history; use of the medication in those individuals can precipitate development of more serious and potentially irreversible mental health conditions. Our family history in that respect is complicated, but Fortunate had not taken an actual (full) history, which is a glaring omission that became much more concerning in light of my child's growing side effects There was no way to communicate with Fortunate. None. I was provided with a phone number and email address to message her assistant. I sent an email and a text asking how to get in touch. No response. I sent a text the next day. No response. The assistant then called me to explain that there would be no communication with Fortunate unless I scheduled an appointment. I explained that my daughter was experiencing significant side effects and we needed to know whether they were concerning or not. The assistant insisted that I must make an appointment and that Fortunate would not reply to any queries in between appointments. She stated, and I quote, "Dr. Munhutu is very busy between 9-5 caring for patients and cannot answer questions". Please note that a quick check of her schedule availability makes clear that the majority of Fortunate's days are very wide open I asked if I could send a message through an email or a patient portal. The assistant said no. I pushed back, and the assistant asked me to send the assistant an email. Several minutes later, before I could send the email, the assistant called me and requested I join a zoom with Fortunate 48 hrs after putting my child on a psychotropic drug, Fortunate Munhutu opened a bizarre zoom call by stating to me that things were "not working out" due to my lack of "trust" in her capability. I repeatedly indicated that I needed some way to communicate side effects and that I expected a care provider to provide some means of contacting them. Fortunate asked me how it works with a PCP, and I stated the following: "I would call my PCP and leave a message to let them know that a medication I just started taking is making my heart race. The PCP or a nurse would call me back or send a message to tell me either that the side effects is expected or to lower my dose". Fortunate just kept shaking her head sadly and saying no, that's not how medical care works. I explained that I also work in medicine, that is how it works, and then she became irritable. She claimed I called her in the middle of a session, which was beyond ridiculous. I had no number to call, no way of contacting anyone other than texting her completely unresponsive assistant. There was nowhere else to go, the call ended, and my husband and I spent the remainder of the day in desperate consultation with our pediatrician and other medical providers to try to figure out whether to keep my child on this medication or not. What kind of medical provider would put a patient -- a pediatric patient, nonetheless -- in this situation? This is reckless. I was not asking for responses. I was not asking to get Fortunate on the phone or zoom. I was asking for an appropriate, responsible way to communicate side effects to the care provider we literally just met Note that "Dr." Munhutu received her advanced NP degree from an online school for which credentials are not accepted in no fewer than 12 states. Her claimed publication, "To Promote Safe Use of Benzodiazepines in Psychiatric Outpatient Settings" *does not exist* in any academic database. She is not a medical doctor, and she is absolutely not qualified to manage medication in emotionally vulnerable patients.

    I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

    Truly the best. One of a kind. I am so glad to have found Healing Point Therapeutic. I highly…read morerecommend the hypnoaccupuncture and also the intuitive readings. Top notch. Marisa is wonderful in all ways. The office and treatment rooms are also healing.
