I have had a great experience with Introspective Collective. They are able to get clients in quickly and their coordination of care is excellent. As a provider of a specialty clinic, I appreciate the quick, thoughtful and collaborative communication that I have experienced. Their approach is non-judgmental, flexible and creative. Highly recommend!
Justine is an amazing clinician. Knows her stuff. Would feel comfortable sending anyone I know to talk with her and whatever they needed help with.
