I have both my psychiatrist and psychologist. I have had many of both. Different city’s and countries. But Mrs. Ortiz and Mrs. Betanco are amazing. My medication has been adjusted many times until she found the right ones and the right dose. My therapy has helped me tremendously. She has help me deal with my mental issues. I have finally learned that if you are not getting any better, or see changes after a little. You need to fire your Dr. until you get the right one. Thank God I did. Life changing. I’m still here, thanks to them. ;
