Top Counselors in Ferndale, United States

Been seeing Amanda since october 10\23 and she's been hands down the best therapist I have ever had. Helped me through a lot of tough experiences. 100% recommend

I can only speak in regards to the nurse practitioners and not the therapy (already had a therapist outside of their office)

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a medical professional. I went there for medication management. The NP did not even listen to what I was saying about my current medication being ineffective and just told me to take a higher dose. Of course, the medication increase did nothing. After attempting to contact them, was told they don't really do messages and I'd need an appointment. During my second appointment, I asked to be put on a type of medication (not a controlled substance) I have used in the past and have always had success with. Instead, was put on another medication I'd never heard of. I was promised it would start helping alleviate things the first night. A week later, absolutely zero effect. When I yet again reached out, I was told to schedule an appointment for the next day. At this point, I said forget it and found a new psychiatrist because I was tired of talking to a brick wall. I truly believe the NP was far more interested in being the smartest person in the room rather than listening to their patient.

It feels obvious what this is place is about as a couple other reviews have hinted at it. The medication management feels more like a cash grab at this place than helping patients with very serious issues.

I would not recommend this place to anybody for assistance with their medication and would give zero stars if I could.

Micaela Familant was extremely helpful. They answered timely and answered all my questions involving the visit and insurance.

I had an amazing experience with Amy during my first session. She was incredibly nice, understanding, and supportive. I instantly felt comfortable opening up to her. Amy provided valuable insights and guidance that helped me gain a better understanding of myself. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist. Thank you, Amy!

I can't recommend Start My Wellness enough. I have been a patient since 2022 and Madison has helped me so much! I have seen a few other professionals in the past, but she has truly helped me feel more grounded in my everyday life by giving me tools and practices to try out. We've worked a lot on finding new healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress, giving myself more grace and finding more self acceptance. Start My Wellness has been key in my burn out healing journey.

I was very anxious to seek out mental health care after struggling for years with PMDD and having it take over my life. I tried talk therapy, journaling, yoga, diet changes, supplements, vitamins, massage, cardio, marijuana, CBD but NOTHING was helping the severe anxiety, depression, rage, anger and overall darkness that accompanied PMDD. I could not maintain relationships and was pushing everyone away, watching my life turn upside down. That paired with ADHD and being thrown into grief put me into a spiral and the most difficult chapter of my life. I finally decided to pursue psychiatric help / medication but was extremely reluctant and nervous. I’m working with Amanda Tanner and she has been extremely thorough, patient, kind, professional, empathetic and supportive. She filled me for medication that best suited my needs, and while it took me a month to fill it because I was anxious and had a stigma to meds and kept thinking of more questions (which she continued to patiently answer and encourage me to keep asking!) I finally started it and… WOW. I can’t believe this relief has been at my fingertips this whole time. I’m feeling more like myself than I have in YEARS and feel very empowered. I know I’m also in great, advocating hands for continued care! Thank you, Start My Wellness for your support in this new chapter. And anyone on the fence about getting help, relief is out there if you let yourself be open to it! - Ally

The therapist was ok, my teenager wasn't happy about going and when I mentioned the legal disapline I might choose to use she reported to cps. Didn't work out for us as we got charged for virtual visits when my insurance covers them 100%.

I’ve been seeing Jacob at Start My Wellness as my therapist for a few years now and I can’t say enough good things. I’ve also recently been seeing Amanda as my psychiatrist and she is amazing as well! Their office is always kind and easy to reach. Overall, I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for mental health services!

I trusted “TBH” for almost three years and the unprofessional / negligent moments continued to stack up. Unfortunately I don’t recommend their services and I hope no one else will find out the hard way.

I decided to seek out an official diagnosis for ADHD, although I was late in life to seek this diagnosis out. I was nervous because I know many professionals seem to diagnosis women with depression or anxiety first and women tend to feel brushed off and not taken seriously. Dr. Bloom was a true professional in listening to me and giving me a thorough assessment. He also, had my spouse take an assessment of me. When I received my results, once again was a professional and looked at the facts presented to him with the assessments, not the old school thinking that females can not have ADHD if they aren't hyperactive and talkative. He was concerned with some other findings and encouraged me to seek out support for workplace anxiety and executive function. I have recommended a few people to see Dr. Bloom and I will continue to recommend people to see him. He is also, the most cost effective in the area for ADHD testing.

Requires a credit card on file before you even step foot in the door/can make a appointment. Claim to be mental health providers but do not understand what people with mental health issues are dealing with.

Update - No one discussed any alternative options in filling out paper/providing info. According to Sabine and Taline, since it was not completed 24 hours before appointment they decided to give my appointment away as I was waiting to be let in virtual room. I didn’t receive notice (no email or call) that my appointment was being canceled and I have been waiting weeks to get this appointment.

I scheduled an appointment somewhere else and they had no problem filling paperwork out at intake. I’ve never had a doctor/health provider cancel an appointment on me as I’m in the waiting room for not doing paperwork beforehand.

No return calls from the therapist. I get a call from the receptionist that tells me only the therapist can answer my questions, but she never calls. This is a time sensitive matter, and shows little to no care that she is in violation of my rights as a parent.

Thank you for helping me through the difficulty of the passing of my partner and helping me renew myself to face the future. I appreciate all of the resources you pointed me to that have also encouraged my healing process.

Caring staff good choice

Horrible experience with one of the therapists. She was unreliable. Poor communication.
