"From the very first session, Jordan's calming presence and compassionate demeanor made me feel at ease. She has an incredible ability to listen empathetically and understand my concerns deeply."
— BeFitHealthClubs review for Handel Behavioral Health"I had Audrey Hall while I was a patient at Amherst Psychiatric. Audrey, was completely abusive. When the medical protocol she had me on wasn't working, she told me that she spoke with Dr. O'Connor and they were going to "kick me out of the practice.""
— Birdeye review for Audrey Hall"Quite possibly the worst therapist in existence. I saw the guy for about 2 months, during the course of which I got the overwhelming sense that his primary objective was to keep you coming back as all of his advice seemed geared towards this end."
