Dr. Severe is there for the pt., trying to build and re-build one's confidence and calm one's nervous compulsions and fears. He offers humor when appropriate and is relatable to one's experiences. Dr. Severe is sensitive to one's foibles and tries to move the pt. to take the initiative to look within and find what I am needing to do with my life at this stage of my existence. He's helped me to overcome for the most part my depression and anxiety about my illness and there me life is headed.
