Very happy I found this place for my daughter. She struggled with an eating disorder the past three years... She worked with several other professionals with mixed results and never was able to connect with a therapist until now. She’s made great progress and I am so grateful for the team at PVD Psych. They are professional, caring, and responsive. The office is very comfortable and welcoming.... has easy parking too.
My daughter is doing great and I am so happy. TEN stars if I could

I feel very comfortable with my therapist and therapy seems to be making a difference after only a few meetings. I am starting to feel less depressed and anxious and have discovered new ways to manage my mood. The office is beautiful and is close to my school.

This is a horrible practice that clearly only caters to those who have the privilege of regular internet access. I was refused services due to issues with my email and I didn't get the impression that they're actually interested in helping anybody aside from overly privileged eastside housewives and college students from the surrounding neighborhood. I'd give zero stars if I could.

PVD Psychological Associates provides a clean, professional and comfortable environment. My therapist puts me always puts me at ease when talking about my personal issues because they consistently make me feel like my feelings are validated. At first, the idea of seeking professional help was unnerving, but coming here has taught me that therapy is actually a tool and not a crutch. It is something that everyone can benefit from, I know I definitely have. For anyone feeling like they are misunderstood or going through a difficult time in their life, I highly recommend coming here. No matter the

Dr. Issa really helped me work through my problems and taught me how to cope with my anxiety using skills I already had. The office is beautiful and I couldn’t recommend PVD Psychological Associates more!
