I have been in and out of therapy and on medication for 21 years. Jerusha is the first provider I have felt truly heard. Her overall approach is amazing, not just based on medication but self-care, vitamins, exercise, etc. She is also the first medication provider that has booked me for 30m follow-ups and actually spent 30m with me. She remembers what is happening in my life and we are able to take that into account when reviewing the plan forward. 10/10 have and will continue to recommend her.
