Really helpful service here!!!! Great place to get an assessment for mood disorders! The psychologist I saw here (Dr. Erin Fallis) was really empathetic and understanding of me and I knew even before meeting her that she was going to be very helpful and that we would get along. I got good vibes from her from the start since when I inquired about her services, she responded to my email surprisingly quickly and even with empathy too, and was very informative and willing to help. I can tell she cares about her patients and wants to do everything she can to help and I certainly appreciated that! I
