★★★★★★★★★★Fabian SpiquelSep 2022

Highly recommend! Dr. Bira is an awesome psychologist & natural speaker - I was part of a professional group where she was a guest speaker and involved in other activities. Her science-based style & tips on how to make changes to live better was extremely interesting and impactful for everyone. Witnessing the way dr. Bira talked to the group I really felt she was in her element, when she spoke I could see it came from a good place delivered with expertise and a lot of passion. She’s very relatable & fun, definitely breaks the mold on the classic psychologist. I highly recommend her for speaking, consulting, or 1:1 work.

My first initial call with Dr. Bira was legitimately so comforting. She took the time to talk to me and explained so much in just a short phone call. Her time and effort in that call was what i needed to hear and i knew that she was the Dr. for me. I’m 2 sessions in and I have seen such an improvement in myself through her coaching and wonderful techniques. She is amazing and look forward to continue to work with her. She is awesome! So grateful I found her! Will definitely recommend!

Dr. Bira has been the most qualified mental health professional I’ve ever worked with. After searching for a good therapist for years, I was ready to give up on counseling in general. I was referred to Dr. Bira and decided to try therapy one last time and I’m so glad I did. Not only are the sessions informative, but she also provided handouts for me to be able to practice the skills throughout the week, making the sessions very practical. She is friendly and inviting and makes sharing difficult things as easy as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Bira to anyone needing a mental health professional!

Dr. Lindsay Bira has been an amazing asset to my customer in San Anotonio. She developed a 12 week program specific to the needs of our population. She's an accomplished speaker, motivator and has changed a number of lives with her talks/ best practices. This is our second year partnering with Dr. Bira and we hope to always have her as our mental health speaker.

Dr. Bira is hands down, AWESOME! I started out a little while ago, as I am completely new to therapy as an adult. I am so proud to say that I am 4 sessions in, and have no regrets. Each session is so fulfilling, and I know that even after I complete my therapy plan (which is almost over), I will return as often as I can for a check in session. Dr. Bira has been such a blessing to my life. Dealing with generalized anxiety, health anxiety, and it’s many forms of tormenting sensations, I know first hand that it is not easy for anyone. To an extent, it almost seems debilitating and you find yourself at some of the weakest points you’ve ever experienced in life, constantly worried, and wondering if you’ll ever get well or back to normal. I started out thinking the worst, but Dr. Bira has truly made every bit of this journey worthwhile. She is so skilled and passionate about helping her clients. Our therapy sessions are non biased, hands on, informative and fun! Yes, I said FUN. We laugh often and spend time ironing out the kinks (issues) while doing so. She is very specific, and I truly feel she cares about me and my well being. I know she feels this way about all of her clients which makes her such an awesomely unique therapist. Since attending therapy, I have made SOO much progress. Doing things I haven’t done in such a long time, smiling more, loving myself and others more, and purely finding the joy I thought I had lost in life. The sensations are becoming just a mere part of my day, less noticeable as time goes on, and overall I am feeling more and more like a better version of myself pre-anxiety. The office is quiet, professionally modern, comfy, and chic. Her pet is adorable and more than comforting. Overall, I rate Dr. Bira 10+ STARS! She has helped me tremendously thus far. I know she can help you too. I am so grateful for this God sent. Go for it! It will be the best decision of your life.

I started seeing Dr. Lindsay Bira for PTSD Therapy after returning from Afghanistan in June 2018. I am still seeing her and have had nothing but positive experiences with her during my sessions. The place is downtown and easy to find. Plus I do early sessions which works great for me.

★★★★★★★★★★C MillerJul 2018

I had a friend who suggest Dr. Bira’s meditation group, which was okay, but I decided I want more specific therapy. The process to get started was straightforward and the first few sessions went well. I noticed that Dr. Bira had a bad habit of checking her cellphone throughout sessions. Normally I’d overlook it but one time I was just having a bad day and simply said I thought it was rude how she kept looking at her phone in the middle of a session. Rather than being remotely apologetic, she seemed offended at me pointing out the issue; she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of disdain. After this in my last few sessions I felt an attitude coming from her; she seemed to be disinterested and cold. I decided at that point to not return and found a therapist that worked much better for me by remaining professional and not distracted during our sessions.
