    I’ve been seeing Anita Paudel, and she’s absolutely wonderful! She makes me feel comfortable, really takes her time asking thoughtful questions, and I leave every appointment feeling heard. The whole office is just top-notch—beautiful, clean, and the staff is so kind. They greet you warmly, keep everything organized, and it’s super easy to communicate with them. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them enough.

    I went to BHI last year for TMS treatment for major depressive disorder, comorbid with PTSD, which I was diagnosed with in 2019 in connection with complex trauma that began around 2015.From the outset, Dr. Etasem and his staff provided a welcoming, compassionate, and professional environment that exceeded my expectations. My TMS coordinator, Mehjabeen, made sure each session was comfortable and always took the time to answer my questions.I highly recommend Bright Horizons Psychiatry to anyone seeking TMS therapy. The treatment they provide is highly effective and truly life-changing.

    This has been a long overdue review, but better late than never. Truly Bright Horizons, its staff, Shelly, Dr. Etesam have been a life changer. I was in one of the lowest points of my life. I truly didn't think I would ever live a life with more better days than bad, or feel I could get through the bad days a bit better. I was convinced I wasn't even going to make it to my 40th Birthday. I was scared getting back on meds due to previous bad side effects, but they truly have gotten me on the right ones, and continue to help modify things as needed. They are so good about listening and doing all they can to make me feel at ease.Beyond the medications, the real life changes has be the Esketamine treatments. I never knew such a thing would be so life changing, but even after the first treatment I felt like I was able to look at my world in a better light, was able to process traumatic memories with much more ease, and also find enlightenment with what I wanted my life to be. I was very nervous about the treatment at first, but everyone at the office made me, and continue, to make me feel so welcome, safe, and comfortable. It honestly feels like I am going to a mental health spa. I get to relax for 2 hours, listen to my music, curl up under a blanket, and allow myself to feel better.I really don't know where I would be now if I had not made the choice to go to Bright Horizons. They really saved my life, and my life, and relationship, are so much better because of them.
