Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It took decades and many psychologists to find Dr. Adams, but I am very grateful that I did. He is an amazing clinical psychologist, but there is nothing “clinical” about his practice. His office is warm and friendly. He has a very balanced approach. He is compassionate, wise, full of patience and grace, but is still solid and strong and will call me on the carpet when he needs to. When I started therapy I was hopeless. I saw no path to changing behaviors and perspectives that have been with me my whole life. Things felt like I could never change. Dr Adams has and continues to help me peel back the layers and effect real change in my life. I highly recommend him (and my wife would probably recommend him even more).

Dr. Adams is honest, perceptive, and compassionate. You can feel immediately that he has your best interest in mind. He is excellent at listening and analyzing complex information and interactions and giving exceptional advice. I sought out Dr. Adams for help with career challenges, and thanks to his ability to synthesize information and go straight to the heart of the matter, I am seeing improvements in all areas of life. Dr. Adams helps me see things from a different perspective, and I’m grateful for several life-changing lessons, and for uncovering other areas of improvement that have the potential to be extremely beneficial. His nursing staff is also exceptional and always helpful and kind

Difficult times at work, with family, with changing career and with finances. I found someone who knows a great deal about these areas, and why my life has led me to this point. My family can only be of so much help. My futile feelings come from a sense of helplessness and problematic decision making. Forever thankful.

I see him in office and feel fortunate to be on his patient panel. I have problems in my marriage, in mu career, with the family that raised me. My decision making has been weak at best. I have had a pretty good idea from where my problems came, but I was unable to put it together. He is kind, warm, patient, extremely well informed. He cuts through my self-deception. He focuses upon the depth of my problems and my distortions. I has been, and is, a wonderful experience.

A very busy doctor, and it took me several weeks to get an appointment. His nurse is great and so helpful. It was all I had hoped for and read about. I eagerly look forward to my return visits.

Overcome by the new challenges, I am a former patient who did very well but was unprepared for all that is going on today. Being isolated with an uncertain future, not really liking my career and feeling my primary relationship is just not working for me.

Very rough year. He was there for me in the office. I suspect that the feelings I was having are not unique, trapped in the house, working from a computer, feeling trapped and isolated. Psychotherapy was important to me in the past and certainly at this time.

I finished psychotherapy at the end of December. It has been a revealing journey, and my life has very much changed. Things at home are good, and I got a promotion at work. Also, I have less aches and complaints which I always knew was from tension and stress.

Was thrilled to get to see him before visiting family. I really dreaded the confrontations with parents that I always anticipate, and I always blame myself. Not this time. He helped me understand the role I play in the family and how this self-blaming serves no healthy purpose.

I have been drifting between doctors for years. Very easy to get disappointed and feel like they are clueless. This, however, has been great. I have progressed so far and look forward to each appointment that I can get.

I would highly recommend Dr.Adams. He has already made a huge difference in my day to day life and outlook on the future. He patiently works with me as I face the difficulties of my past and offers encouragement for the future. He is wise and personable. I look forward to my visits and leave feeling like a weight has been lifted off of me.
