If the condition can best be treated with talk therapy, generally we will refer you to a psychotherapist for this purpose.

In many cases, patients benefit from both medication and psychotherapy. Working with you to find the best medications and best dosages for you (when indicated) are the distinct skill of the the psychiatrist.

I've had such bad experiences in the past with doctors changing my meds constantly or over medicating me. We take a slower approach and figure out what is actually working.

The can be hard to get a hold of over the phone but if I leave a message or send a message through the portal I hear back same day usually. Bottom line is that I wholeheartedly recommend this practice, my wife and her family go here as well.

I am thoroughly pleased with the results from Dr. Nigam and wholeheartedly recommend him. Recently,…read moreI began seeing Diana Jarman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I equally recommend her. The office staff is consistently helpful and pleasant to interact with. The only drawback is that it's often difficult to speak with someone directly when I call, leading to leaving a message or using the portal. Despite this, I usually receive a callback by the end of the day. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Nigam, Diana Jarman, and Southern Illinois Associates LLC.

Seriously confused by these other reviews. Finding Dr. Gundersen was one of the best things I've…read moredone for myself. Dr. Gundersen is right there beside you every step of your path-- whatever path you're on. He's one of those doctors that actually listens to you, and what's more-- he hears you; he's always asking how you are, how you feel, what you want to do. And he supports you, advises you, moves WITH you. Here, you are cared for. And you know it. This is not an office where you're an anonymous number on a long roster of clientele. It feels like every single person on the team is working for YOU, making sure you feel comfortable, making sure you are okay. So from the above and beyond customer service reps, to the call center (who address me personally), to the layout of the actual building and energy/ambience of the offices, and most importantly, to Dr. Gundersen himself--this place dedicates an exceptional amount of attention to the PATIENT'S comfort and satisfaction. You feel taken care of to a level that you can't find at every office or with every doctor. With Dr. Gundersen, you just know that you're not alone. You've found someone who is just as concerned with your mental health as you are. And that is seriously rare. The first time I walked out of this office, I knew I had someone on MY team who made sure I was confident in every step of my own mental health treatment and journey. You are in good hands here; and they make sure that you feel that.

Unfortunately, this his office would rather lose a customer than waive or lower the fees for being late the first time. its not a matter of if you will get charged, its a matter of when. Advice: - for the sake of your mental health, do not go here. - if you do go here, plan to arrive about 1.5 hrs early to each appointment to avoid the 250 dollar fee.

Disclaimer: She might be a fabulous doctor who helps lots of people in important ways; I'm writing…read morethis only from my own very frustrating experience, which included not actually getting to see her. I totally get that everyone's schedule gets thrown off at one time or another, and often it happens because we are helping others. But if I've been sitting in your waiting room for more than 40 minutes (granted, after being told at the outset that you were running 20 minutes late), and the first staff member to pop up within that time asks me for money without acknowledging or explaining the wait, I'm going to feel like a sucker and a low priority. So I left without seeing her, after her staff member, without apology, instructed me to call them to reschedule. Fat chance.
