Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
Very knowledgeable and using the apt tools to help . Also puts all the sharing into the right perspective.
The very thought of undergoing treatment for depression makes you uncomfortable and afraid.however Dr.Hvovi not only made me feel at home the moment I walked in but she was so careful and gentle in the entire process leading to the start of sessions that I developed confidence in my ability to overcome it. The tests I underwent *** **** **** ******* *** ******** results pertaining to what my issues were, then the sessions have with time not only made me calm and much jovial on a daily basis but has made me look at this issue with much open mind.i feel very free to share every intricate details with her and the sessions are absolutely worth it and makes you so positive and forward looking to the treatment. It is helping me grow a better life. She is very informed,educative,supportive and motivational all through, with that personal touch of affection which a person undergoing turmoil would need. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs to discuss and talk to someone about a disturbed state/mindframe or any issues related to clinical psychology!
