Dr. Gearing is awesome and the staff is super friendly. I look forward to working with them moving forward.
Dr. Gearing was very informative regarding my child’s treatment plan and how my involvement will help with the success of her treatment. She was very reassuring and I’m excited to see what the outcome will be.
I love Gearing Up. I’ve been a patient on and off for years and now my daughter is a patient. They’re understanding and with the exception of a few payment issues I wouldn’t trust my family to anyone else.
Maggie’s consistent instruction in the DBT skills has been a big part of our daughter’s therapy journey. We are happy she is part of our team.
I had a very wonderful experience. All of my questions were broken down and answered in a simple way to understand.
Tammera and Yazmin have both been amazing therapists for me. I’ve been with Tammera for a couple years and Yazmin has been an amazing addition to this clinic. Tammera is incredibly knowledgeable, listens without judgement, and I have learned so much in my sessions with her. I’ve only been with Yazmin for a few months, but she is kind, intelligent, and I leave my sessions with her feeling more at ease about life. I highly recommend both of them and this clinic!
