See what our patients are saying about Chantal Flanagan

In a very short period of time, I was able to get much needed help in sleeping through the night with the right medication, as well as control a 30-year cycle of panic attacks. I highly recommend my therapist Chantal Flanagan to anyone who is looking for immediate relief and comforting support for the long haul. She also does telehealth appointments which is great since I don’t drive anymore.

Chantal Flanagan is an excellent resource for me in regards to mental health and sleep difficulties. At times that can be frustrating to the point of distraction. Having someone to turn to who understands that frustration is a massive relief. I am forever grateful for her presence in my life.

Chantal was alert, inciteful, and engaging. Very pleased! Best experience yet in virtual world. The app was difficult to navigate on Android. And, I received four separate opportunities to confirm. But worth it. Thanks! (Oh, and ... PAT is an acronym for point after touchdown.)

My Dr makes the time for me to check-in with all of my concerns! She also makes it easy if I need to get of hold of her. Usually the same day! I look forward to speaking with her because I know she has my best interest. When it comes to my wellbeing!
