I'll try to keep things brief because I'm not sure how much my therapist would want me to share. I do want to specify the name of my therapist though because I can only speak on the service I've gotten from her. I cannot speak on the other therapists at this organization since I have not met them, or talked to them at all. But Jessica Carroll is the Michael Jordan (Or Serena Williams) of therapists. For those who don't know anything about sports, this means she's the best of the best. She's mastered her craft. And I can't imagine there being a higher tier of therapist than her. Her solution-based approach as she calls it, has worked wonders for me emotionally, mentally and has truly helped me improve my life in really great ways. And it still is. Her professionalism and level of care she takes with how she performs her job is also extremely impressive. I've had around 20 therapists in my life, and she makes all of them look like they only spent 2 weeks in therapy school. Long story short, if you need a therapist, and she has openings..they don't get any better than her.
I found Healthy Minds after looking for a new psychiatrist for months. I was on medication, unsupervised because my previous psychiatrist dropped me, for a year. I met with an amazing psychiatric nurse who asked me about my family's history with mental illness and what medication and treatment plans worked for them. She changed my medication when I thought that I just wasn't doing enough -- and it worked! I started to feel joy and peace again for the first time in years. My side effects to the medication were taken seriously and I was never pressured to up my dosage or try meds that I wasn't comfortable with. I finally had the mental capacity to start therapy, so I started seeing Chelsea at the Fredericksburg office. Chelsea is absolutely amazing and I feel deep gratitude and love for her. I know that she puts in extra time and research outside of our meeting times to find tools that work for me and she's incredibly clear and responsive about her schedule. Since both my therapist and psychiatrist are with Healthy Minds, they're able to share notes and collaborate on my care. I went to Healthy Minds at the worst possible time in my life. I was scared I was going to lose my job, I wished that I were dead, and I was so incredibly dysfunctional in every imaginable way. Their team has changed my life and I truly am scared of what would have happened if I didn't find them. The Healthy Minds team is amazing.
We had a lapse in health insurance coverage. The client was unreachable due to personal reasons and was unable to provide the new health insurance info so they just charged the credit card on file $500 for 4 appointments even though i had contacted the therapist directly to inform her of the situation. That should be $125/ appointment right? When i discovered this, I provided the new info but was told the cash rate for the 2 appointments was $185 each! They were not willing to negotiate the price at all. I had the same issue with my therapist with Resilience and they cut the price in half to $100 which was much more reasonable. This isn't the first time I've had to pay cash for health services and I've NEVER had an office not discount the price when they couldn't bill insurance. The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because they were one of th eonly offices in the area accepting new patients.
I first discovered HMT through a promotion they were holding in the early spring of 2020 - $30 for a 30 minute virtual coronavirus "vent session." I was self-aware enough to recognize I needed therapy (major anxiety even before the pandemic) but commitment-phobic enough to never actually follow through on finding a therapist to talk to. These vent sessions seemed like the perfect opportunity to "try before you buy." Stressing about the pandemic was pushing me over the edge and I felt constantly paralyzed with fear, indecision, and stress. Well, five months later I can say without a doubt that my therapy sessions with Jasmine have been some of the most positive, productive hours of my life. I'm not sure why it is so helpful to me to have another person say obvious things out loud (solutions that should have been easy enough to see right in front of my face) but it has made all the difference in how I now think about and/or approach situations. "Lightbulb" moments occurred frequently during sessions. Jasmine's warm, friendly presence made it possible to delve into uncomfortable topics and work things out in a non-confrontational and compassionate manner. Life is manageable now and that is worth everything to me. I'm no longer a client because I moved out of state (licensing doesn't cross state lines, unfortunately) but the final session was centered around a "mental health maintenance plan" and as a result I feel comfortably prepared for the future. I can't thank Jasmine enough for everything she's helped me through and I can't thank HMT enough for adapting to the crazy times and providing a virtual option for therapy sessions. I never would have made it out of my house to an in-person session, they've made it so easy. This is going to sound so cliché but for anyone on the fence - invest in your mental health, it's so worth it. I've recommended HMT to all my friends, everyone deserves to live their best life.
Stephanie Calvert is bias toward fathers. She does not keep good records, and her treatment is not proven. Did not have any plan for treatment and did not have a prognosis or diagnosis until ordered by the court. This woman should not be aloud to practice anything in the state of Virginia.
