Testimonials
"I was afraid to see a psychiatrist. I guess I worried somebody would find out that I needed medication. Sarah made me feel safe and I was able to open up to her more than any doctor I ever had. I was able to gain trust and I learned that taking medication doesn't hold you back from any goal you want to achieve. She helped me to learn trust." - name withheld
