Patient Testimonials
I came to Susan when I needed some help finding my way back from depression. She listened and asked me what my goals were. She did not just throw medications at me. I was on some meds and they did have the desired affect so she she swapped things around until I found what I needed. With her care I m happy to say I am no longer on medications. That was my goal. I m very grateful to her.
Barbara Kelly
I consider myself quite fortunate to be under the care of Ms. Wilkinson. She is highly professional, deeply knowledgeable, and most kind.
Ms. Anne Houlihan
I started seeing Susan back in January of 2018, she has been nothing but phenomenal. She has been not only a great listener, but an advocate to try new concepts and ways to cope with stress and anger. She’s great to talk too, knows what medication will work best for you and is very keen on what therapist to see based upon your needs. She’s helped me think and act more positively in my life. I highly recommend people to see Susan who are struggling with depression, anger and or anxiety issues.
Mr. Mitchell Miller
