While I'm not personally a patient of Dr. Ola, I'm the parent of a young adult who is. For years,…read morewe struggled to find a doctor our child truly felt comfortable with -- someone who listened, understood, and helped guide them in the right direction. Now that they're older and managing their own care, we aren't always part of the day-to-day conversations, so we rely on what they choose to share with us. About a month ago, after doing their own research, our child scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ola and has now seen him twice. From everything we've heard, the experience has been incredibly positive. Dr. Ola has been described as patient, thoughtful, and genuinely engaged -- someone who takes the time to understand and support without judgment. As a parent, it's hard to put into words how much relief and hope that brings. To other parents who might feel stuck or discouraged: don't give up. Keep looking. Encourage your child to advocate for themselves. Do your own research. Finding the right provider can make all the difference. We've seen real improvement not just in their well-being, but in the connection we share as a family.

I question whether Dr. Ola's prescribing practices are influenced by pharmaceutical incentives. For…read morecontext, I hold an MA in Health Communication from Johns Hopkins--I'm not new to the healthcare space. At our first visit, I was diagnosed with depression. I expressed hesitancy about medication and a willingness to try non-pharmaceutical approaches first, since this was a new experience for me. He strongly advised against that and prescribed 10mg of escitalopram "as soon as possible." I had never taken any prescription meds before and didn't know what starting doses were typical. I began with half a pill (5mg) and felt mild side effects, so I tried the full 10mg the next day--and immediately had reactions: worsened depression, confusion, nausea. Within 24 hours, I woke up with loss of vision, extreme confusion, I felt like my blood was boiling, and nausea. I ended up in the ER, where I was told to stop the medication. I didn't blame Dr. Ola for these side effects. When his office opened that morning, I explained what happened, and he advised to stop the medication. Done. For the next week, my confusion persisted, along with EXTREME shortness of breath (I am a dancer), dizziness, and rapid heartrate. After 2 days of this, I called Dr. Ola and explained what I was feeling. He brushed it off as anxiety-- stating it was, "extremely unlikely this would happen" and said what I was feeling was just anxiety. This was ridiculous. My depression was new, but I've been dealing with anxiety attacks since I was in 2nd grade. This was not that. I later went to Northwestern Immediate Care, where the doctor said 10mg is far from a standard starting dose, especially for someone new to SSRIs. Since then, I've consulted multiple professionals who confirmed that Dr. Ola's dosage choice was inappropriate. It took months to recover and return to dancing and I still have dizzy spells I have not had before I took the medication. I am not upset about the reaction--it truly could have happened to anyone. I am upset because Dr. Ola gave me an inappropriate prescription, and was dismissive of my side effects.

Turning Point Counseling has some of the most compassionate, educated, and caring clinicians I have…read moreever had the pleasure to work with. Each therapist at Turning Point has a strong skill set, most have been working in the mental health field for over 10+ years, and everyone has as a variety of their own unique specialties. A few of those specialties include trauma informed services, Family Systems Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, CBT, EMDR, Art Therapy, and Bibliotherapy (and that's just to name a few). I would highly advocate and recommend any therapist at this practice, for those (children, teens, college students, emerging adults, adults, and couples) seeking compassionate and wholistic counseling services. The bonus? They also seem to accept almost all major insurance plans, so getting the support you need and deserve isn't held back due to financial barriers. Truly, an absolutely amazing group of therapists.

Beware of your optimism, even when you give her all of your information e.g. health insurance card #'s, employer info., date of birth, etc. Etc.

And if you ask for a recommendation on another facility she has none.

I admit I was a bit apprehensive and was not sure what to expect but all of my angst disappeared after my first session with Cori! She was great and listened to me and never made me feel embarrassed, uneasy or nervous. I loved that she was able to articulate my feelings and help me see things clearly though out my sessions. The "homework" or "food for thought" exercises were also incredibly helpful in showing me measurable progress, which steered me in a positive direction. I enjoyed going to my sessions and never felt they were painful thus, I was always eager to go back. Cori takes a very client centered approach and assists you in determining your needs and aspirations. I highly recommend Cori and the aspect of counseling to anyone that is experiencing a rough patch - "She is a ray of sunshine during your storm. "
