 Hilary Helkenn PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10

Clarissa Mendez, LCSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Clarissa is very professional and caring, she has been a tremendous factor in my cognitive recovery. She is intuitive and her knowledge and skills with concussions has me confident that my therapy with her has brought me back to my previous mindset and I'm no longer fearful, anxious, depressed or judgemental about my car accident and the injuries I suffered. She's truly an asset to have as a resource for not only cognitive issues but just positive social interactions. I Absolutely look forward to our sessions and would highly recommend her.

Abby is the most professional and strongest counselor I have ever worked with. Having a psychology background and working in social services, I am familiar or have worked with dozens of therapists. She is maintained a very professional approach and her model of counseling is a perfect blend between structure and empathy. I have recommended her services to several people and intended to continue doing so!
