Karla is extremely willing to work with me and is very understanding of what I'm going through. Not just the mental aspect, but my physical health issues are always taken into account, as well. One affects the other and she's trying to help me find a good balance between the two. So grateful we 'found' each other.

I have had a very enriching experience with my therapist. My therapist is very helpful and thorough with my medicine management questions. She's very good at asking poignant follow up questions when I have any issues. Our meetings are very relaxed and I enjoy our rapport.

This was my second e-visit with Dr. Hopkins, and I found her to be friendly, personable and caring. She listened carefully to me and invited my input on my treatment while impressing me with her knowledge. I feel secure that she truly wants to help me feel better.
