“I personally learned a lot from this project and certainly feel that it was a game changer for me and my office. It was very organized, very educational, and very well done. Many thanks for all your time and effort and best regards.”
“This program is very helpful at a time when mental health visits are increasing for primary care providers and access to therapists is becoming more limited. I learned a lot from the program and feel more comfortable with assessment and treatment as a result.”
