vayda mental health collaborative

Drea is the best therapist I’ve ever had, she’s helped me immensely on my healing journey. I was in a very bad place when we first started having sessions, and now I’m literally writing this right before I get on the plane for a work/holiday in New Zealand. She’s an amazing listener that will help you find out the points and positions that are hindering and holding you back, and then help you become a better version of yourself. Give a session with her a shot, I can honestly guarantee that you won’t regret it.

Me and my wife saw a very new therapist and made it seem like insurance would take care of some or all of the first visit. Over 3 months later with no communication we got a bill for $230. This is totally unacceptable. All we did was chat about basic introductions. Seems like they forgot to bill or something on there got screwed up. Do not recommend using them.

I had therapy here, with a therapist named Drea. She was amazing. Helped me through a ton of trauma I’ve been through and was unlike any other therapist I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend.

I’ve known Dr. Novak as a professional and also personally, and I cannot say enough about the compassion she brings to all of her clients. Not only will she validate what you are going through, but help you through what may seem like an impossible path at this time in your life. She will treat you with utmost knowledge and kindness, right from your first step in the door. You WILL feel seen, heard, and supported throughout your whole journey with her as your mental health provider!

I have been a patient at Vayda for close to a year and I would recommend that you look elsewhere for compassionate care.I told my therapist that in person sessions are preferred, as telemedicine doesnt feel as comprehensive for me personally. Vayda canceled ALL in person appointments for a month, while giving patients literally 25 hours notice.Even though I am averse to telemedicine, I decided to give it a try and attended a video session. The audio quality was beyond abysmal, with feedback and an incredibly noisy sound floor. It sounded like being on the phone with customer service at a call center.My therapist told me the owners of Vayda chose to do this to try and expedite a construction project at the office. When I contacted one of the owners (Dr. Alise Novak) regarding the incredibly short notice to transition to video calling and poor audio quality for telemedicine, she told me that it was beyond Vaydas control and their hands were tied. When I asked her why her story was different than what my therapist, she completely sidestepped the question and suggested that I seek treatment elsewhere.My therapist emailed me and said in person sessions could continue on a specific date and when I responded saying I would be there, the therapist emailed me back saying after consulting with their supervisor (Dr. Alise Novak) they would not be offering in person session for me and that I should seek treatment elsewhere.At the very least you can not, in my opinion, trust the providers at Vayda to provide consistent or compassionate care.The photo is of some of the inspirational messages in the lobby at Vayda.

Wonderful compassionate care! Dr. Novak is a great listener and has always been supportive and thorough. Highly recommend!

Dr. Novak is not only a skilled psychologist but also a wonderful and caring person. I refer to her often and respect her work and expertise. She is a true asset to our community.

Very welcoming and nice environment, therapists are awesome here

I have met Dr. Isham and Dr. Novak on several occasions. Both are kind and empathetic women who truly wish to help those they interact with. With their experience and compassion, I have no doubt your experience with them will be as positive as mine!

Dr. Novak is a kind and gentle soul that is truly concerned about your overall health. Her support, especially concerning fertility, is given in a compassionate way.

I am so grateful to have found this incredible clinic. They have been extremely supportive in providing care, direction, and support for my son who has special needs.

Very dedicated, knowledgeable staff, that listen and show great compassion for their patients. Highly Recommend!

Grateful Vayda exists, exactly what I needed! Highly recommend
