I felt better than I had in years!
Client Review
“I treated with Dr. Gruber from 2006 until she left that particular practice (I was and am truly sad about her leaving). I had been struggling with mental health issues for a very long time, and was not getting any relief. I was very skeptical about my first visit with her and actually rescheduled it for nonsense reasons a number of times. When I finally mustered up the nerve and went through with the appointment, I continued to be skeptical of my diagnosis and the recommended treatment. I had been to multiple mental health professionals and psychiatrists after my hospitalization and tried a number of medications and NOTHING helped. One visit with Dr. Gruber, one prescription, and a couple of months titrating up, and I felt better than I had in years. I will forever be indebted to her for giving me my life back!”

“I have been treating with Joann for about 15 years. She has gotten me through my anxiety issues and been there for me through life’s many ups and downs. She is truly a caring mental health care practitioner. Joann is very well educated and progressive in treatment plans. She’s the best. I highly recommend Dr. Joann Gruber.”
