Erica was my doctor at Austin Medical after dr Vandel quit. She learned from the best, has great people skills and is also very caring. She has helped me in both of her fields of practice.
Erica has worked very well with my medication management & I am doing well in therapy with her. She is insightful, knowledgeable & a valuable resource for me in our ongoing therapeutic journey.
I highly recommend MHWA anyone in need of compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatric care. Dr. Kirmani and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Erica Burgett are not only empathetic, but also well-versed in the latest psychiatric treatments. Their exceptional ability to connect with clients has resulted in an impressive patient retention rate. They both offer psychotherapy, medication management, and psychiatric evaluations for new patient consultations. They specialize in General Adult Psychiatry (18 years old and older) and all major mood and anxiety disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, social and general anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, phobias, insomnia, OCD, grief/bereavement/loss, adjustment disorders, reproductive psychiatry, gender dysphoria, issues with sexuality, and substance abuse. Erica believes in a whole-person approach to health, focusing on being aware of our physical and mental well-being, as well as our emotions and relationships. While medications are important, Dr. Kirmani and his team are committed to using them carefully. They will take the time to explain why they recommend any specific treatments.
I was a patient of Erica’s at a previous practice and can personally attest to her compassion, knowledge and understanding with mental health, as she helped me through some of my darkest times. She’s a top tier health provider and I would recommend her to ANYONE. Her multifaceted approach to health, paired with her patience and kindness, make her an amazing asset if you’re looking to improve your life. Can’t say enough good things about her!
Fantastic, professional and truly cares about your well being. I couldn’t be more happy with the care he provides.
