    From my family's recent experience, only see this doctor if you want meds and nothing else. And, if you don't want out of pocket...

    Dr. Towery is an amazing psychiatrist! I will be forever grateful to his creative use of logic and…read moreeffective techniques to help me not only overcome my PTSD and anxiety but also to become a much better person. His sensitivity and evidence based therapy guided me towards success and also quite literally saved my life. After going to multiple psychiatrists, therapists, and even hospitals with no relief from my symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, Dr. Towery was practically my last shot. His spirit and sensitivity immediately led me to trust him. I have not regretted that decision since. His brilliance not only helped me work through my PTSD but also completely inspired me. The cognitive techniques he used were beyond helpful, helping me regain the sense of hopefulness that I had thought I lost forever. Through hard work and expert guidance I have officially graduated therapy! Dr. Towery truly helped me and I recommend him to all those who are seeking help.

I came to him struggling with both depression and ADHD, and his guidance, treatment approach, and practical advice have made a significant difference in my life. What I appreciate most is how thoughtful and collaborative he is. He always provides clear explanations and helpful strategies to tackle whatever you are going through. His advice is practical, compassionate, and tailored to what actually works for you. I'm very grateful to have found him and would highly recommend Dr. Towery to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and effective psychiatrist!!

    The therapists consistently failed to manage session time. Stacy Clark in particular often would go…read moreover the allotted period despite multiple reminders that I did not consent to pay for extra time and had other appointments. They would extend sessions under the pretext of "needing more time to reflect and appreciate the moment," which felt unprofessional and disrespectful of boundaries. The billing practices feel predatory, in addition to consistently billing more than what we've agreed upon to, Kevin attempted to have me pay for a series of non-refundable sessions. I've never encountered a therapist who pressured a client into paying thousands of dollars upfront when we don't even know if it's a good fit to work together yet. They are scam artists preying on emotionally vulnerable people, pure and simple. Additionally, this was the only therapy experience I've had where the therapist dominated the conversation, talking about 75% of the time or more. Sessions often felt more like listening to the therapist's reflections and stories than being guided through my own process. There was also pressure to give perfect ratings in surveys and to avoid providing honest feedback, I'm not sure if they are evaluated by their practice from these scores directly. This made it difficult to share genuine concerns or trust that feedback would be received constructively. Lastly, Stacy Clark and Kevin Cornelius did not have the skill or emotional presence to hold difficult emotions. They will simply take a long time to repeat back what you've told them rather than understand and dig deeper on the why and how the behaviors arose. Overall, I would not recommend this practice to anyone seeking a professional, client-centered, and time-respectful therapeutic experience.

    Wellmind is the absolute worst Mental Health Service Provider you can possibly find. They charge…read moreyou incorrectly, do not apply their own policies consistently, do not even have policies with correct verbiage to support what they try to enforce. On top of that, you will be chastised, insulted, and spoken to like a child by their nasty and condescending employee Laura Beann who has never had a professional conversation in her life and takes her work way too personally. Laura is a compassionless, cold hearted human void of any empathy and is the opposite of someone you want handling your sensitive HIPPA or Mental Health care. Wellmind was a complete waste of time and resources and I wish they had actual honest reviews so I could have avoided this joke of a company entirely.

    I highly recommend the services of Dr. Cathrine Reed of Peninsula Mental Health. Notably, she is…read morevery well organized and detailed oriented in her practice. Thus, her notes of office visits and her questions that begin each session are extremely thorough. In addition, she is also cautious and careful as she works with you to determine the best plan for treatment. At all times, Dr. Reed has the patient's needs and concerns in mind. Recognizing the impact of increased environmental stress and other factors, Dr. Reed effectively adjusted and refocused my prescriptions accordingly. Perhaps most notably, Dr. Reed is interested in the whole patient. As such, she takes time to listen and to hear what you feel is happening before she determines a course of action. Dr. Reed has a calm demeanor as well as personal warmth that makes her accessible. At the same time, she upholds the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. She is an excellent choice for someone in need of a psychiatrist. Justin E.
