He is an Intricate part of my life now, and I will never forget him. He Listened to me, guided me, and was there for me when I needed him the absolute most. I am thriving in my life right now because of him. I could not be more thankful For his professionalism, his friendship and his guidance. He is someone I always look forward to seeing.

"Dr Prussing is a gem -- truly. Serenity Mental Health has been lucky to have her services. The entire office is incredibly friendly, professional, personable, and quick, but Dr Prussing has exercised prudent and compassionate care the entire time I have worked with her to manage my medication and mental health. I feel heard and seen when I am in an appointment with Dr Prussing; I feel like I have another human being sitting across from me who truly just wants to help another human being if she can. And she has helped me and my family tremendously with her expertise and judgement."

"I recently decided to get on top of my mental health and my attention issues. I booked my initial appointment at the Chandler location but ended up moving over to the Desert Ridge location after some scheduling issues and it's closer to home. I cannot recommend Dr. Kara Prussing enough. I have only had the opportunity to have a few appointments with her but she has already helped me get on the right path for my medication management. She also really listened to the areas that I am struggling and gives great insight and options on tackling it. I have a ways to go but she has definitely helped a lot. The staff at the Desert Ridge location are also very friendly, quick and make the process as easy as possible."

"The whole team at Serenity (and Dr. Prussing specifically) have been so amazing since the beginning. As a first time patient at a mental health office, I was nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect. Everyone cares for the patients, they know them, and it is always a positive experience, even the way the techs and assistants speak to each other! Happy, confident, and ready to help each other. I’ve been privileged to see Dr. Prussing as she is personable and deeply helpful. You won’t go wrong."
"Everyone there was super welcoming and nice. I really felt like I had gone to the right place, and was sitting across from a highly educated very knowledgeable psychiatrist. I'd also like to compliment the staff, they were very helpful and kind. Cracking jokes, making you laugh. Those things are greatly appreciated. I've never found a place as nice as this.

"Dr. Prussing and the staff are so kind and respectful. I am grateful to be a patient here."
"Just began this journey to improve my mental health and this was a great place to get started. The environment as well as the staff felt both very welcoming and comforting for a, “First timer.” Dr. Hubert gave me the time and attention I needed to address my problems as well as the next steps to take towards improvement. Thank you again to not only Dr. Hubert, but to all of the staff at Serenity."
"Dr. Ruiloba is an utmost professional of the highest caliber. He listens to the patient, thoroughly, and prescribes accordingly. He is accommodating, and you will not find another psychiatrist with a better bedside manner. Rather than just prescribing the “medication du jour”, he will tailor your particular treatment plan to fit your needs. He is first and foremost interested in his patients well-being and success. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is such a personable and friendly man, and gets a big smile on his face seeing his patients thrive. Absolutely every bit five out of five stars!"
"Dr Ru (as I call him) is fantastic! He truly listens to you and your needs. I’m finally getting some sleep!"
"I appreciate Dr. Ruiloba for his listening skills and interpretation of my medical history. He is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.

They have treat me with compassion and empathy."

"Caring and concerned about patient wellbeing."
"Great guy, listens well."
"Very good experience with the Dr.'s and staff."
"He is very kind and helpful. The staff is great too. Thank you"
"Dr. Hubert is an extremely patient fellow. Though his priority is medical treatment, I have always felt comfortable with him and the rest of the staff, every six months or so. I almost don't want to say anything TOO nice (since I like keeping the good ones to myself, LOL), but I've been living here for 20+ years, since relocating from NYC, and this is the most competent practice I've encountered. Like, SRSLY WTAF, Phoenix. It feels more like a partnership with mutual goals than someplace I'd just go to spew. I have friends for that, but it's partly due to Dr. Hubert that I still talk to any of them. };)"
"Everyone is so kind and courteous. Very friendly..they really take the time for you and your needs ..very understanding ❣️"

"Professional, listens, understanding and helpful."
"I can’t say enough good about this place. Everyone here is so kind and helpful, from the receptionists to the back office assistants, to the people doing prior authorizations, and especially the physicians. I never had any issues with my prescriptions, my insurance was handled seemlessly, and the back office staff went above and beyond when I needed paperwork such as FMLA. It was always easy for me to contact their office for appointments, medical records etc… I just want to say great job and let them know how appreciated they are for helping people during difficult times in their lives. I am very thankful to have found them!"
"From the comfortable office setting, the courteous and kind receptionists, and intelligent and compassionate doctor, I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you. Also-my prescription was sent to the pharmacy and ready to pick up within 5 hours of my appointment, seems pretty reasonable to me."
"Dr. Lee knows his craft. He’s open to collaboration with patients and is creative in his solutions."

"Dr. O’Hare has help me to be unbelief, to believe that there is some help out there for me. We are on the right direction and I don’t know how much I can say but I do appreciate everything he’s done for me. To add this stuff here is, amazing and always respectful and sympathetic to the patient’s needs. Thank you guys for all you do I know times are tough, but we couldn’t do our daily. Task in life without you."
"Jim O’Hara is very professional and a great listener. Office is very clean and relaxing! I’m excited to get better :)"
"Nothing but positive things to say about Serenity and provider James O’Hara! Everytime I go in, all the staff is so friendly and kind!

I never feel judged or unimportant for any issue I might need to address. They always want to make sure I am feeling my best self and if I'm not, working toward solutions to help me get there. Going to Serenity has been life changing and I can't say enough good things about Dr.Hubert and his staff."

"They were great, and really there to help you. Thanks for the help."
"Very lovely office! Calming and right when you enter the doors, they make you feel comfortable and listened to. Dr. Elias Ruiloba was the psychiatrist I saw and he was amazing; he listens intently, has no judgement, and makes you feel comfortable during the evaluation. Additionally, he is open to patient opinion and feedback, and as a woman I felt listened to and validated in my mental health issues. Will be sticking to Serenity for a long time!"
"I highly recommend Serenity Mental Health. They are they on top of list when it comes to mental health in many aspects and they continue to evolve as they are fully engaged with their patients and truly care about improving their health. They have the best staff especially Desert Ridge location where everyone friendly, remember and address you by your name, staff are full of life, full of hope, full of healing uplifting smiles and possibilities. Simply one of the best."

He did not rush through the assessment and explained everything in detail. I left the office with reassurance he would find the best course of action to treat/manage my issue."
"I have no complaints. Dr. O’Hara is fantastic and treats me with the utmost respect. You can tell he cares about his patients and wants to see them succeed. He discusses anything and everything about my care openly and honestly with me and doesn’t rush through the appointment. He also celebrates victories big and small. He is timely and professional.

"Found Serenity Mental Health Center in my panicked search for a new, regular psychiatrist. I have to say, I am 100% so glad I scheduled an appointment. From the very nice woman in Utah who scheduled me, the staff, and the doc, James O'Hara, it's all been great. They have it figured out. James was super professional, actively listened, and it felt like speaking with a human being. I find psychiatrists can be a little too professional, at times. Like speaking to a robot. I am confident I will be happy here for many years to come. They actually care!!"

From the greeting to the check in the procedure was as efficient as can be. 10 stars to the MD that met with me and the girls taking vitals! The only complaint is that I think there scale was off. I got on the scale and it read one at a time please. That’s a bad attempt at joke. Great job to the entire staff. Ty James L"
"Dr. Ruiloba is friendly and understanding."
"I wanted to leave a review for anyone who feels like they are considering this location and/or TMS treatment. I would say the hardest part of this treatment is the commitment to going, especially when we are already struggling everyday to create healthy habits. I want to encourage you to give the staff at this location an opportunity to be the best part of each day. I walked into this treatment scared, depressed, and holding on by a thin string. This treatment changed my life. This experience changed my life. I walked in a stranger, and walked out feeling like I found a new family. Pooh would welcome me daily by name, Bethany was my main cheerleader, Jen was my bonus cheerleader, and I even had Meka treating my senior dog like her own. Between these women who are clearly passionate about what they do, their amazing souls, care, love, understanding, patience, jokes, and love which was extended to my dog too … was so positive, fun and authentic that I had to leave a review. I recently lost a friend to suicide, it actually happened during my treatment, and this is why I want to encourage if you are still reading this ….. please look into it, talk to the staff, work out financials (they will help), talk to Dr. McClure at the office Biltmore for his professional opinion. I won’t promise anything because we are all different, but I can promise you will get the best care with this group of passionate leaders in a difficult field. It hasn’t been perfect, but I am so grateful that I was able to work with the staff at Serenity for the last couple of years. Your story is not over yet. If no one has told you today, I love you, and keep going. The best is yet to come. 💛"
"I am so glad I chose Dr Lee. He has helped me with so many stumbling blocks and issues. He has given me the support in helping solve difficult situations. He helped me though some very dark times. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel welcome. I recommend him highly."
"Amazing service each time. Dr. Sethi always listens to my concerns and hears me out and even had my kids with me the most recent visit and didn’t make me feel anxious or anything talking to her with them with me. Helped kept them occupied and happy. Very pleased with the whole kind staff. I’m always in and out and that’s so nice to know I can be seen quick and get back home but still be heard on concerns"
"Dr Hubert was a great listener and asked Great questions. He was ready to talk to. I look forward to meeting up with him again."
"Serenity mental health has exceeded my expectations. After moving to Arizona, I had no connections to a psychiatrist and trying to find one was extremely difficult. I had two absolutely horrible experiences at my last psychiatric offices out here, so I didn’t have high hopes for serenity. Instead, I was greeted with Dr. Sethi. Words can’t even describe how caring, compassionate, and truly invested in your well-being she is. She is seriously a godsend to me after never having a psychiatrist that would take me seriously or treat me more than a dollar sign. The entire office at the desert ridge location is full of cheerful, kind people. After hopping around mental health facilities and psychiatrists for the past 10 years, I’m finally settled at a great one that I plan on going to for as long as I need it. They have helped me start to turn my life around and I hope you choose to let them do the same for you."
"Amazingly helpful"
"Dr. Lee is by FAR the BEST dr. I’ve ever had. After many many attempts trying to find the right physician, I was about to just give up. The previous dr’s that I’d seen didn’t care enough to just listen and they ended up making my life severely worse, to the point I didn’t even want to leave my house anymore. I was in bad shape coming into serenity mental health, but I’m so happy I decided to go and stick with it. The staff are all wonderful and extremely caring, also understanding and being able to be very flexible with situations. You really can’t find that type of full office care anywhere anymore. I developed a fear for dr’s appointments with all I had been through, but I actually enjoy seeing dr. Lee and being able to talk with him and listen to what he has to say and what he thinks. I really appreciate the communication it makes me feel cared for, rather than just a 5min in and out visit. I feel like my life is actually cared about for once and that my provider has my best interest in mind 100%. It’s a good feeling and an even better feeling knowing that I’ll keep improving and feeling better on my road to recovery. Thank you dr. Lee and serenity mental health, for being there for me and giving me the type of care I’ve been looking for all along. You all are truly amazing!"
"Dr. Lee is kind, caring... Amazing! If you are looking for a doctor who follows Christ, I hope he will be as much a blessing to your family as he has been for mine.."
"I have been struggling for almost 3 years with PTSD…. Due to many traumatic life events This team is absolutely amazing And communicates very well The one thing that separates them from all the rest, is that they are truly committed to helping their patients to have their best life, and they will set up any payment plan for you, that you are comfortable with, which was something so incredibly relieving to me!!!"
"I really enjoyed my visit at this place, everyone was friendly and welcoming! Plus Dr Ruiloba was fantastic, he was sweet and patient with me made me feel comfortable and felt truly cared for. It’s always been hard for me to find a doctor like him and I’m so glad I did!"
"Dr. Sethi and her team are very welcoming and super helpful! I’m very happy I found them!"
"Dr. Prussing is always timely and very personable. I never feel rushed during my appointments."
"Good appointment availability. Nice office. Friendly helpful staff. Kind, non-judgmental doctor. Highly recommend."
"I found the doctor to be super helpful"
"Couldn’t be happier with Serenity! They are incredibly friendly and non judgmental. They actually made sure that they got in contact with me when I called and my practitioner seems to not only really listen but understands and empathizes with me. Anyone who’s needed therapeutic treatment before knows that should be a no brainer but impossible to find. I walk away feeling weight off my shoulders"
"I have never been treated with more kindness or compassion as I have been here. From all the staff and the Doctors. I am sincerely listened to and any concerns are validated and addressed."
"I’ve seen more MH care providers over the last couple of decades then I’d like to confess, however, it gives me perspective that compels me to shout out sincere, heartfelt, gratitude, to James O’Hara, NP, and Serenity Mental Health. They are world-class, top shelf, first rate, A++, super-great folks, who really know their stuff and provide care, like nobody’s business. Really care."
"The staff is the best.... They will do everything to help you along the way Professional and courteous....."
"I’ve only had positive experiences here! I feel beyond lucky that I came across this place because I couldn’t have even imagined how much my life could change over a few months!"
"Very caring staff...made my visits so comfortable."
"Dr. Ruiloba has been exceptional with my mental health care. I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and expertise. Thank you! :)"
"Exceptional service by all team members; Meka, Katelin, Amber and Taylor were very helpful, responsive and professional. I appreciate the quickness in faxing the information I needed in a time sensitive situation."
"Serenity has been a life changing experience for me. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety and it was preventing me from going out and enjoying life. People stopped asking me to do things. I knew I needed to change that. After meeting with the doctor I began my TMS treatments. It took awhile to understand the reasoning for it but I was willing to try for my own self. I have only 10 left and I have to say I will miss coming in for them. Never could I have imagined I would feel this good. I’m getting out and doing more. Big crowds don’t freak me out anymore and I’m able to enjoy myself. I did the ketamine also. After the first treatment, I seriously thought about not doing anymore. I stuck with it and so glad. I don’t have anxious thoughts constantly running in my head. Between both treatments, I am sleeping so much better and thru the night. I wake up refreshed with a lot more energy. The staff is amazing. They help you understand and become new friends. I will definitely miss that. My best advice to people wondering if it is for them, try it. Take that first step in feeling better. You may be surprised as I was that there is a whole world to explore and a life to live. I can’t thank Serenity enough for helping me get my own life and happiness back."
"Dr Lee is the best. Thank you so much. The Staff are great"
"My initial visit to Serenity Mental Health want great. My first physician was a bit arrogant and careless. I was in an extreme vulnerable state, I felt worst after I see that physician. I decided to give it another shot with Dr. Ruiloba, I’m so glad I did. He listen, he care, he suggest treatment, and I’m better because of Dr. Ruiloba. I would recommend him for anyone who seek to get and feel better. Not that I have seen that many psychiatrists, but if you find the best, why keep looking?"
"Dr. Hubert is excellent. Highly recommend."
"Above and beyond of what I expected. I can express how friendly everyone is, from the general customer service number and those in his office. Customer service is important to me. Dr Ruiloba , is absolutely fantastic. I felt at ease from the moment I walked into the lobby. Everything is absolutely beautiful and calming."
"Everyone at the Desert Ridge location could not have been more nice or more accommodating. I highly recommend the TMS and Ketamine therapy. Dr. Prussing and Nurse Brittany, all of the TMS therapists and receptionists, were SO kind and professional….a truly amazing experience."
"I believe all my history was evaluated to make a slight adjustment to my medication. Additionally, we are not done. Follow up on possible ADHD medication will follow. I appreciated his listening skills & interpretation of my medical history. Thank you"
"He truly cares and takes the time to get to know you. He’s helped me get back to feeling like myself again! I highly recommend Dr. Lee"
"Dr Ruiloba is understanding, caring and listens. I have been highly satisfied with the care I’ve received."
"Dr. Lee is incredible! Would not be where I am today without him."
"Love this office and Dr. R They are always very friendly and accommodating."
"Everyone here is very professional and friendly. Dr. Hubert has excellent bedside manner. He answered all of my questions clearly, and had great insight. I highly recommend Serenity, and am grateful I found this clinic."
"This office is so nice everyone is very helpful and Dr Sethi is AWSOME I lost my son 3 years ago and she has been very nice and helping me heal and go through the process. I am so glad I found them."
"What a great place, very welcoming and comfortable. Folks there are awesome and you can tell they really care about people."
"I want to update my review because my experience has change in the last couple of visits. Dr Belmonte is great, and help me so much!"
"Dr. Lee is caring and takes time to actively listen to me. Staff are awesome!!"
"A very thoughtful group."
"I love my provider. And the people always make me feel welcome in the office. Thank you"
"I've been receiving treatment since 2020 at Serenity. What I like about their customer services is the priority of importance on one's medical needs. From on scheduling appointments, after care plan, medications, other one on one treatment procedures, and most important their sense of urgency on one's documentation which is needed to employer's third party insurance claims. It made me have a peace of mind knowing all documents is submitted in a timely manner, not having to worry. I've heard horror stories with other mental institutions taking excessively time frames and filled out improper or lack of. At Serenity you won't get inconsistency, you will receive the highest of professionalism. Now I can only speak on behalf of my doctor, which is Dr Winona Belmonte MD. I really appreciate her for you know she's listening to what you have to say is important and she validates one's concerns or issues with her feedback. It's more of a relationship you build and it's a two way communication and not one way conversation. I give Serenity, the Staff, and my Dr Belmonte a thumbs up. And recommend their services to the public and anyone who needs help. Remember you're not alone, its a choice to get help or be alone. It's easier to receive help with other's then alone."
"Dr. Sethi is really great and understanding. I don't feel like it's mandatory to take medication and am able to state my opinions on how I would like to proceed on my treatment. She gives me the push I need to communicate and I appreciate her for that."
"This office was incredible from the second I first called. Every person that I dealt with was thorough, SO kind, and offered education every step of the way. The flexibility of the office as a whole is so great, being open as late as they are (7pm) and being open on Saturdays. The large amount of providers is helpful as well. Dr Prussing was amazing - so trustworthy, she explained anything she could, made sure I felt comfortable with the plan, and really made me feel like I was being heard."
"EVERYONE there Mika , Amber , Jenn and , Candice are all AMAZING!!! The Staff is Very professional and friendly , they help you feel comfortable."
"Ive been seeing Dr. Lee for over 2 years now, he is incredibly compassionate and understanding provider. I look forward to visits with him!"
"Just walking into the office I felt attended to, all my questions answered and then the additional supportive staff helped set expectations for my visit with the psychiatrist. Speaking with Dr. Dekyser was great, she was thorough and I felt like she genuinely showed interest. She didn't rush me into any medication (I'm new to medication) and walked me through the options. I felt so seen by her, it helped me to hear from a professional that I was showing initiative and am strong. Everything after that was a breeze!"
"Great place and people! Made me feel super comfortable the whole time!"
"I know it seems common to say when praising such a place, but the people really were genuinely nice. And they seemed to care -- usually, it's one or the other that either the staff or the doctors seem less interested, but here it felt like they all actually cared. It was pretty amazing for a first visit. Note that this was for the Desert Ridge location."
"Dr. Sethi is amazing! I've shared her information with others so she can help them too."
"I’ve been seeming Dr Lee and his staff for a few years, and every interaction has been professional, helpful, and understanding. I’ve found the help I was needing through this office. Thank you Dr Lee!"
"When I saw Dr. Sethi at Serenity Mental Health Centers, I knew that everything was going to be ok and that I would get the correct diagnosis and help that I need. She is patient, compassionate and listened to me. I am so greatful."
"I can not explain how grateful I am for Dr. Belmonte. She has made my life into something that I can finally control. Not only is my life better, she is my second home. Thank you every one for such an amazing experience ❤️"
"Dr. Tripp is the smartest psychiatrist you will ever meet. We now see Dr. Lee up at Desert Ridge on Saturdays, very convenient. We find everyone at Serenity responsive and considerate. Appointment reminders are always sent through multiple channels and they bill my insurance. Thank you Serenity."
"If you are searching for help, don't know where to start, and need a hand to reach down and pull you out, come here. Dr. Dekeyser and her team are amazing. The podium, inner hub, and assistants are kind, sweet, and fun. I love coming here and look forward to seeing them all. They all work and come from a place of understanding; they’re empathetic, show genuine concern. I lost two pillars holding me up unexpectedly My Grandma decided to end life and Uncle was murdered within a year. These were the people I looked to for everything and was so lost.I found Dr. Dekeyser, her name stuck out for some reason to me and I’ll tell you I love Dr. Dekeyser and will fight anyone opposing, haha! She’s impressive! Please remember you also have to work on yourself. I drive an hour to come here; I live in Gilbert/Mesa area and have lots of other resources-she is the best."
"I have been to upwards of 100 psychiatric doctors, hospitals, therapists and practices over 15 years and I can tell you unequivocally that Serenity Mental Health is unsurpassed in every way. Their treatment of depression is cutting edge with Ketamine Infusions and TMS. I see Dr. Stegner at the Desert Ridge location and find our sessions bring out the best in me every time. They prescribe medications but do not see it as the end-all-be all treatment for Mental Health, because mental health is not that simple. I have been working primarily with Emma as my TMS tech and talking to her each morning changed my life in the best possible way. She is kind, brilliant and compassionate – she challenged my ways of thinking and her energy lifted me up. Some days were hard and painful when my depression hit hard but I am so happy I stayed the course and kept showing up each morning. Today was my last session of 36 TMS appointments and reflecting back to 6-weeks ago, I have changed. I have hope and can create more distance between me and my thoughts and emotions, they no longer run me. I feel I have a chance to overcome this dis-ease which has weighed me down much of my life. I also realize this is not the end of my journey and through therapy, 12-step meetings, yoga, meditation, prayer, community and the help of the entire Serenity Team, recovery is possible. Overall, this place is so supportive and positive, they truly want to see people recover and discover mental wellness. I felt like a human being and not just another patient and I am so grateful for this business that is truly changing lives."
"Caring staff and physicians. No riding through appts"
"Serenity has truly given my life back to me. There's a level of determination, consistency, and hope that one needs to bring back that person they once were. Serenity has helped tremendously with that. I can't be more grateful for their hard work and perseverance to get me back on my feet. Dr. DeKeyser has been excellent on checking with me regarding medication management and recommending options available to me. She is amazing! I'm nearing the end of my treatment for TMS and I'm honestly going to miss it. The staff, the doctors, everyone! They're all like family to me. I would highly recommend Serenity to everyone that is ready to get their life back. You will be in great hands. Thanks so much Serenity!"
"I am very impressed with Dr. Viera and the office staff so far."
"Serenity has been been very helpful for my ptsd and depression"
"This wellness center is amazing! All staff are awesome and super helpful. My intake was easy and straight forward. I began treatment right away and am feeling better already. Carey Gerst was my tech and she was as awesome all around. She was patient, knowledgeable and easy to work with! I would recommend SMHC to anyone looking to get better and seeking help.!!"
"Great place with professional staff. Thanks."
"A big thank you..🤗 for this clinic at Dessert Ridge. workers good, bad ones are gone. Turn over in receptionist 🤔. They accommodated my schedule 100%. In treatment for manic depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Transcranial magnetic therapy (TMS) what a difference it has made in my life, I have 4 more treatments to go, out of 36. I recommend it 100%. Was skeptical, did my research. I have been on antidepressants and anxiety meds for over 25 years in and out of treatment facilities, 3 suicide attempts, all kinds of medications trials and errors, diets, acupuncture, natural treatments, yes some worked, but all temporary. Had 2 headaches at the beginning of my therapy, took tylenol as suggested by therapist. kept a journal from being to end , wow what a difference. I know everyone will have different outcome. All I can say is Thank You.."
"I came to Serenity Mental Health feeling awful. After a few failed medical trials, I had legitimately given up on seeking help. Dr. Stegner recommended TMS treatment, and I'll admit I went in fully expecting it to fail. After my first week of TMS, I felt different. After two weeks, I felt happy. And each day after that, I was trying to convince my friends and family to give TMS a try. It really, really works. The staff is unbelievable. Chelsea from the Phoenix office was the most outstanding medical professional I've ever met. I learned so much from her throughout my treatment. From healthy eating, to exercising, to every day things that could help improve my life. She genuinely cares about her patients, and I don't think I would have had such an incredible experience without her. If I had a single complaint, it would be that obnoxious water fountain at reception. It's just so crazy loud. First few visits, my anxiety was through the roof just from how loud it was. You can barely hear the receptionist, and it makes it very difficult to feel comfortable. Please, just turn it off, yeah?"
"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dekeyser She made me feel very comfortable and that she truly cared about my well being. She even helped answer a question of mine on her day off (wasn't expecting a return call till the next day) and the front office girl, I think her name was Robyn was very helpful and sweet!"
"The staff is great, I would recommend serenity to anyone looking for a good mental health center."
"We drive from Yuma to get psychiatric doctor and to find Saturday appointments too, Best fit!"
"First I truly want to shout out Ms. Chelsea Hoggan, she is a TMS technician and has not only employed the way that I view therapy. She has also impacted my life in the most positive manner. Secondly Ms. Jordyn Lavallee and Dr. Deborah Stegner have also made this experience with serenity that much better. I am so thankful and blessed to be a patient of such an incredible organization that has so many wonderful people working for them."
