Anita was wonderful, compassionate and funny and I left my first appointment feeling heard and validated. She listened to me and talked through my options, and we came up with a good solution and have a plan for adjusting dosage if needed. Highly recommend her for any women seeking treatment for ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression.

Anita was very professional, understanding, and knowledgeable. Friendly and with a good sense of humor. Plan to continue to use her as my provider. Update: Anita nailed my treatment on the very first visit. I haven't felt this good for decades. Wow, what a difference a little tweak makes. Thanks Anita
