"I learned how to trust. I learned I do not have to struggle alone....I learned effective treatment changes everything from my brain circuitry to how I think, feel and experience my everyday life....Dr. Choy created a place where I can work on my issues, and grieve complicated losses. I would like to say I got my life back or learned how to live again. In truth, I’m learning how to step into my own life for the first time. "
-M.S.

"I have been to multiple therapists and psychiatrists over the past 10 years, but it wasn’t until I started seeing Dr.Choy...that my life began to drastically turn around...I look forward to each session with Dr.Choy, for it can be rare to find a place of such emotional safety and healing in what would be my otherwise turbulent life."

"Dr. Choy explained the changes my brain was going through as I built new, stronger cognition and decision-making pathways. It made sense. And continues to work. Every day is not perfect, but every day is surely better."
-P.E.
"His guidance has been life changing, and I will be forever grateful...He has taught me the importance of identifying emotions as they come...and how the simple act of identifying that emotion roots you back into the present and takes you out of a downward spiral...I feel happier, more confident, and more successful."
-S.M.

"I have struggled my whole life trying to combat mental illness...after months and years of raw excruciating work in therapy, I was feeling better...I am able to make a mental shift to accept and love myself and my ordinary life. That is the essence of my ongoing recovery."
-C.A.
"After seeing a number of therapists over the years it wasn’t my intention to undergo therapy again, nor did I believe I would benefit much if I did. I was wrong...I cannot express the importance of spending the time and energy to find the best therapist to help you along your path. With Dr. Choy I know I have found that individual.”
-P.V.
"His diagnosis changed my life...the clouds lifted and it felt as though I could see clearly for the first time in my life. It wasn't easy, I worked very hard and Dr. Choy helped me through the transition to a life with less confusion and heartache to a life with more Love and Acceptance."
-M.C.
"When I met Dr. Choy, I knew that I’d found the right doctor for me. As a science guy myself, I have an obsession with asking what, why and how. Dr. Choy explained the neurophysiological bases of the difficulties that I’d been experiencing in great detail."
