Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgeable and Kind
I highly recommend Dr. Lamarca to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective psychotherapist. She has been instrumental in helping me navigate burnout, depression, and anxiety. Her approach is both kind and direct, making it easy to feel supported while also receiving practical skills that are simple to implement in daily life. Dr. Lamarca’s empathy and professionalism create a safe space for growth and healing. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would encourage anyone in need of support to reach out to her.

The dr recommended a medication, then would not prescribe it, or have her partner prescribe it. The office is impossible to reach.

I stopped seeing Dr. Lamarca mainly because her business practices were problematic. Communication about billing was poor, and it was impossible to reach her or her staff in a timely manner. Written requests for important documents have gone unanswered for months. Her website offers a patient portal with some self-service features but patients are routinely locked out if they don't see her for 30 days or more - even when the reason was a change in her own availability.
