“You saved my life, I didn’t realize how easy it would be to get better”

“Wow who knew talking about sex issues to a shrink would be so easy”

“Ed actually listens and he was like ‘yeah, let’s try this completely different approach.’ First provider who didn’t make me feel like I was being difficult for asking questions.”

“Been seeing Calvin for a few months. What I like is that he doesn’t rush through appointments. We actually talk about what’s going on in my life, not just ‘how are the meds working?’

“Honestly wasn’t sure about virtual appointments but it’s actually way better for my schedule. Don’t have to take time off work or deal with waiting rooms.

Koda gets that I’m neurodivergent and doesn’t try to force me into some standard treatment box.”

“Had been through like 3 other providers who kept trying the same antidepressants. Ed looked at my sleep issues and suggested trying something totally different. Not saying I’m ‘cured’ or anything, but finally feel like someone’s thinking outside the box.”

“Finally found a provider who doesn’t make me explain basic gay stuff. I can just focus on my actual mental health instead of wondering if he’s judging me.”

“Nice not having to worry about religious judgment or having to defend my relationship.
