See what our patients are saying about Penelope Libeu

Dr. Penelope Libeau has been an invaluable part of my ADHD care. She has a rare combination of warmth, compassion, and professionalism that immediately puts me at ease. I always feel listened to, respected, and genuinely cared for. I own and operate a successful small business, and managing ADHD is an important part of being able to do that well. Dr. Libeau has been thoughtful and attentive in managing my medication, and her calm, caring approach has made a meaningful difference in my life. She has also been there for me through periods of occasional depression, and I have always felt supported and understood. What I appreciate most is that she never makes me feel like just another patient. She takes the time to listen, she remembers who I am, and I always leave our appointments feeling reassured. I’m incredibly grateful to have Dr. Libeau on my healthcare team. I don’t take for granted how fortunate I am to have found a psychiatrist who is not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

My doctor, Penelope, was amazing. She helped me get set up and was very knowledgeable about my issues. She made some great suggestions, and in the beginning of the meeting told me how the meeting would go. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.
