In patients' words

"I cannot recommend Haley Engelman enough. She is wonderful to work with and made the process of virtual therapy way less intimidating."

— Birdeye review for Lifebulb Counseling & Therapy

"The support here isn’t support at all, and calling it that would be a joke. They recite a script for you on the status of your ticket and lie about it."

— LocalityBiz review for Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry

"Avoid this place if you value your mental health. They treat their patients like they are nothing but drug seeking criminals."

— Birdeye review for Inova Behavioral Health Services Outpatient

"Dr. Mehra is by the far the rudest, most unprofessional incompetent person I have even encountered in my entire life."

— Unilocal review for Dr. Rhea Mehra MD
