“Great”

“Does a great job”

“Dr. Subbiah was so helpful to me during very bad post partum anxiety and depressive episodes. Once we worked through that she helped me dig deeper into my PTSD and help me learn coping strategies. She talked with me about my suspected medical diagnosis and encouraged me to speak with my primary doctor. Turns out we were right and now I'm getting the correct help and treatment I need. I think about her often and wish I could just update her on my life. She felt like a friend that I could trust with anything and I use her advice daily.”

“Dr. Subbiah is one of the smartest people I’ve ever interact it with. Her attention to details and knowledge makes her an amazing therapist. I’m so glad I got connect her. She made a positive impact in my life from the first session.”

“Dr. Subbiah has been very helpful in treating my PTSD and helping me deal with the symptoms of both OCD and Bipolar Depression. I don't know how I would have gotten through Covid without her. Not only is she compassionate and really listens without making me feel judged or rushed, she's also very experienced and knowledgeable in the various methods of treating complex mental health issues. Her level of expertise isn't going to be found in a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or someone with a master's in social work. She's a great psychologist and I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be her client.”

“Dr. Subbiah has helped me in so many ways handling my anxiety and depression. She's really helped me understand my past trauma and learn new skills how to manage and thrive. She's compassionate and personal and always remembers what you've told her. I've loved working with her over the last year.”

“She’s amazing”
