"Synergos Counseling is a place that helps you to talk about personal things and gives you honest and helpful feedback. It's calm and comforting and the therapist is very easy to talk to."

"I love how organized Synergos is. It was extremely difficult finding a counselor that could meet in person and that specialized in the services I needed and after the stress of finding a provider. Filing the insurance and personal information on the portal was a breeze."

"Awesome and genuine. Every person I have come into contact is conscientious and humble."

​"Synergos has a calming atmosphere of empathy and professionalism. They are always flexible and I have yet to meet an unkind person working there."

"Synergos had been amazing, the staff is all very kind, and my provider is wonderful. I can tell she truly cares about me and my healing journey."

"Yes, not only is my provider incredible, the seamlessness of care regarding getting paperwork done, logging on to sessions, etc. has been so easy."

"Kind, welcoming, professional, uplifting"

"My experience so far has been wonderful. I feel comfortable in the waiting area as well as in the more intimate offices. With such small rooms, you’d think it would be stifling but the architecture is gorgeous and provides unique spaces and makes it feel less treatment -like. I always feel better after leaving the space. In fact, I just referred a friend! I don’t feel judged or “watched” when I’m there. All of the staff members I’ve met have been so kind. I even met a dog!"

"Synergos is responsive and dedicated to its clients."

"The entire process of becoming a patient has been painless when it was initially very overwhelming. I love the communication with Katy and the rest of the staff, and really feel valued as a patient. This is my first positive therapy experience in my life and I'm really grateful for that."

"My experience with Synergos has been awesome. Very prompt communication whenever necessary, easy to schedule appointments, and therapist that is professional and personable at the same time. My girlfriend commented on how much more progress I’m making with this therapist than any previous therapist I’ve had throughout many treatment facilities and previous outpatient therapists. I would definitely recommend Synergos and my indivisible therapist to anyone. " 

"Amazing. I do recommend synergos to everyone! I have accomplished a lot and I feel safe and comfortable here. "

"Synergos has been very helpful with treating my OCD. My therapist understands OCD and the best ways to treat it. Overall I feel very heard and I would recommend Synergos to anyone!"  

"My therapy sessions with Katy were helpful and insightful. They helped me address issue or problems I had with: multiple social skill suggestions, internal self review skills, and self care/love techniques."

"Very knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate therapist with excellent ideas. Always makes patient/family feel like the highest priority. Highly recommend!"

"Very positive!! I was scared to start therapy and did not really know what it would mean for me. After researching, I found Synergos and am so glad I went with it. It was the perfect place to start. " - 23 yr old with general anxiety  

"Synergos is easy to work with and has been very helpful on my mental health journey"

"I am a 32 year old with anxiety and depression, and have tried multiple different therapists and therapy styles in the past, having a range of experiences from negative to neutral to positive (with the positives being rare, unfortunately). My experience through Synergos has been nothing but positive, and I am so glad I gave therapy another try."

"Synergos was the first counseling place to get back to me when I started looking into going back into therapy. That was very encouraging since there were such long wait times through my doctors office." 

"Transitioning to college this year was difficult and resulted in an immense amount of anxiety (more than usual). Synergos was extremely timely in their response and helped set up a meeting with one of their therapists right away. It was reassuring knowing that there were people ready and willing to help in a time of need while being so far away from home. Even just having someone to talk to about my anxiety and act as a resource has been very beneficial." - 20 yr old with anxiety and depression

"Convenient scheduling, friendly and understanding staff, easy to onboard." 

"Synergos has been instrumental to my healing journey, and to helping me learn about myself after years of ignoring everything that felt wrong. I have never felt judged or overbearing, and every struggle I bring up in session is treated seriously and given the time it needs. Having things to think about and work on outside of sessions and making concrete, achievable goals for myself week to week has shown me how far I've come, and how capable I am, regardless of whether I've given myself that credit in the past." 

"Meeting regularly with a therapist in working through some of my old wounds and patterns has made such a difference in my life. I can see that my outlook in life is changing for the better since I began counseling with Synergos."

The scheduling process has been easy, and they are willing to work with our insurance carrier, which is tough to find. We are very happy with the services provided."

The help and counseling I have been guided through has given me strength and tools for my whole life. Synergos has helped me realize that my trauma does not define me, it's what I make of myself in the future. I recommend synergos to my close friends and family."
