"A very comfortable consultation session. It was very helpful and hopefully positive sessions going forward."
Yesterday
"I’ve only had the consultation appointment so far, but Mariia was great ! She was not only empathetic and professional throughout, but also helped me identify what issues I was facing and recommended me to the specialist she thinks would be able to help most with my issues. The firm is also generous with their sliding scale system and I greatly appreciate tjat. Looking forward to more sessions with my recommended therapist !"

"I'm so appreciative! In thirty minutes- we got so much covered. Maria will be back in touch with references for clinics closer to where I live. It took me awhile to find IMHC, finally I'm getting answers. I couldn't have done it in Japanese, so it's such a great relief. Thank you at IMHC for being there as you are!"

"It's been a long time since I'm tryin' to get on touch with the professional pyschiatrist or mental health institution online, so grateful that I found your website and I was able to speak with Mariia, even though the session lasts for only about 30mins., Mariiah has so much patience to be able to listen and have a sharp understanding while I am telling my stories. Looking forward to my next session. Your website is such a big help for us suffering with a mental breakdown. Kudos 👍🤍 Thank you very much."
