She has only ever treated me with compassion and understanding. Her professionalism is outstanding, as she is always present and attentive during sessions, personally responds quickly to messages, and goes above and beyond (considering input from my PCP, and working with me as well as my pharmacy) to ensure that my prescriptions are a good fit and available when I need them - despite nationwide shortages and circumstances out of her control. Meetings are virtual which is incredibly convenient and scheduling sessions is as easy as sending a text message to Inga (who is also incredibly professional with her quick and helpful replies). …. For what it’s worth, no one asked me to write this review or has offered any kind of incentive for doing so. I just feel incredibly lucky to have found a great provider and think Helen and Inga deserve to know how grateful l am for their exceptional service.”
