Great to meet you!

I help my patients achieve complete physical, mental, and social well-being.

I combine empathy, compassion, and professionalism to develop a treatment that will work for your needs.

My goal is to remove the scary and old beliefs about psychiatric medication and treatments. I also aim to make my patients feel comfortable and empower them to take charge of their mental health. I take pride in treating my patients the way I would like to be treated.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Reesey does comprehensive psychiatric evaluations covering all aspects of history.

Reesey explains the diagnoses, what it is and why; medications, why we choose this, and its indications, and teaches coping skills.

Reesey challenges her patients to know about their diagnoses, medications, and treatment plans.

Reesey respects patients by showing empathy, and compassion, and being a good listener.

Tools also used:

Prescribe Medication & medication management

Motivation Interview

Minimal psychotherapy

What you can expect from our first session

After our initial visit, you will feel like you have been listened to, you know the meaning of your diagnosis, the reasons for any medications or treatment if there is a need for it, and the excitement of knowing that I don’t have to feel this way, there is help and I do have a say in my mental treatment.
