Patient Experiences
I recently relocated here from the Mid west and needed to find a new provider. Alpha Health and Wellness was recommended to me by my therapist. My provider is very thorough and was the first provider to educate me on my condition and to change my medications based on my diagnosis. I am so grateful for her and appreciate the exceptional care I’ve received, thus far. Thank you for being the blessing I needed!
My husband has struggled with his depression, anxiety and addiction most of his life. Over the last 10 years he has had a hard time finding a Dr./Therapist/Anyone who he felt comfortable with when it comes to his overall health and mental health. Stephanie Dockins is a genuine, caring provider, who truly made him feel seen and heard. I am very thankful he found the right person finally who can help him.
I started seeing Stephanie in December, and I was extremely depressed and suicidal. Just five months later, my metal health has done a complete 180. I always look forward to our appointments and appreciate Stephanie’s thoroughness, kindness, and support. 10/10 would recommend!!
