How Do Psychiatrists Treat Mental Health Conditions?

Since day one Marie has been so nice and understanding of all my issues with anger. She has helped me so much to take a step back and analyze issues and approach them in a very calm manner and retrain my brain to deal with anxiety issues that lead to anger. She has helped a ton in putting forth effort to better my marriage and other relationships with family. I couldn’t thank her enough for all her help in the last couple of months and in the future! Love her!! Definitely recommend her!

I was fortunate enough to work with David Fletcher-Janzen. Dave is such a good listener and so kind and compassionate. I have known Dave for many years and have the utmost respect and admiration, not just for his professional expertise, but also for the kind, empathetic and caring human being that is Dave. Dave works hard to help his clients and is passionate about his professional calling. He is highly skilled and has many years experience in his field. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else.
