Completed our intake appointment with Dr. Fearing today and we had an excellent experience. She took time to truly understand the struggles out son is working through, and outlined a plan to support him and us as parents. She was warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable.
Both Drs. Sylvia & Milt Gearing are clearly knowledgable, compassionate, evidence based & committed clinicians. We are excited to work with them & the Gearing Up Team.
My husband and I completed the intake call and I feel it went well. Our concerns were heard regarding our son and a plan was laid out to determine the best way to help him with is anxiety. Looking forward to working with the team.
GearingUP has been very thorough in their evaluation & counseling with our child. I wish we had known about them sooner.
Really great experience with the initial intake! Dr. Gearing was lovely to speak with and I like what I’ve learned so far about how they run their practice. The entire staff has been great to deal with. Highly recommend!
