Clients reviews about Bridges of the Mind Psychological Services

From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the intention that went into designing such a warm, welcoming space. The interior was thoughtfully arranged to create a calming and inviting environment for families. Dr. Erika Frieze, Dr. Allison Womack, and the entire team are the kind of providers every family hopes for, knowledgeable and truly dedicated to supporting their clients’ journeys. Their professionalism shows in every interaction. Kelli Vang, their Practice Operations Manager, is an absolute joy to work with. She’s so friendly, responsive, and passionate about making sure things run smoothly for both staff and clients. I am so grateful to have a heart centered and high quality clinic as a resource. Bridges of the Mind sets the bar for what collaborative & client focused care should look like. Highly recommend! ~ Bianca S

I recently brought my child for an evaluation with Dr. Womack and she was amazing! She was so kind and patient to me and my child. She did not show any judgment toward us. At times I felt so embarrassed because my child was not in the mood, but Dr. Womack continued to stay patient and was very understanding. I highly recommend this place. ***Addition*** I wanted to add that I'm a little surprised by the other reviews because Bridges of the Mind was in constant communication with me (email and text) regarding my appointment. Yes, I was rescheduled one time, but life happens, and they worked with me as much as they could and I worked with them as well because it's unrealistic for a business to drop everything for you. This is a small business so they work differently from a large/corporation business. ~ Ey E

We came to Bridges of the Mind for an evaluation for my daughter. Kelli in the office was awesome answering all my questions via email and setting up an appointment for her to be evaluated. We were assigned to Dr. Hammad and we enjoyed working with her from our first parent meeting. I felt that she really listened to our concerns and most importantly, our daughter felt very comfortable with her. I appreciate that Dr. Hammad reached out to all the contacts we provided and included their feedback in her findings. When Dr. Hammad had more questions, she initiated a follow-up call with our daughter. After Dr. Hammad's report was complete, we received a copy via email and were immediately scheduled for a follow-up video call to discuss the results and available resources. Our experience with Bridges of the Mind was easy and professional. I highly recommend them! ~ Erin G

We came to Bridges of the Mind after being referred by our 9 year old daughter's therapist at Kaiser. Our daughter has a unique set of behaviors that don't present the same in all settings, therefore for several years, we had a difficult time finding a diagnosis and any type of treatment. Coming to Bridges of the Mind, the space was inviting, and the staff was welcoming. During our session we felt listened to and heard to have someone take such an in depth, deep dive into her patterns of behaviors. Being able to have a diagnosis also helped us in finally being able to access services to address her ongoing unique issues. ~ Irina B

As a colleague in the field, I have the utmost respect for Dr. Dr. Erika Frieze and the team at Bridges of the Mind Psychology. Dr. Frieze is highly regarded and sought after for her expertise in neurodevelopmental conditions. It’s easy to see why. She brings a depth of knowledge, clinical skill, and compassion to her work that is truly exceptional. She goes above and beyond in providing guidance and sharing her expertise with colleagues, which speaks volumes about her dedication to the profession and the community she serves. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Frieze and Bridges of the Mind to anyone seeking the highest quality of care. ~ Rada W

My son was referred to Bridges of the mind through Kaiser as they had a 6 month wait for an assessment for autism. My son was nervous just the thought of a 4 hour assessment but his mind was put at ease walking inside. The place was extremely clean and Kellie Vang greeted us and was welcoming. Dr. Womack did his assessment and she was very organized, compassionate, empathetic. At no point did I feel rushed and she answered all of my questions, she is really took her time to understand concerns. I definitely recommend this place for their services. ~ Michelle D

BOTM was great when it came to reaching out to me as well with setting up the appointment. They even kept their word and notified me of an earlier appointment that came up which I was highly grateful for. Dr. Isha Hammad was amazing. She was very professional, very respectful and very nice. She did an amazing job with my daughter as well as with myself, when it was my turn to answer questions. She answered all my questions and concerns and made us feel very comfortable. THANK YOU DR HAMMAD! I’m so happy I didn’t listen to the reviews! My personal experience with them was great! ~ Nary S

My 3 year old was referred here through Kaiser and we had our appointment with Dr. Merel Huff. Our experience with Dr. Huff was amazing. He was attentive, thorough and most of all patient. We have definitely felt rushed by other doctors so that left me a little apprehensive and nervous, but he was very inviting and made the 3 hour appointment as comfortable as possible even through behavioral outbursts. I can't say enough positive things. I'm thankful and very appreciate that we were recommended to Bridges of the Mind. ~ Ash

We were directed by a family law judge to have our 14 year old assessed for "anything organic" which could be affecting their behavior. Even with such vague direction, the staff at BOTM were able to make myself and my teen comfortable and open with our communication to all staff at every point in the assessment process. The rapport Dr. Hammad developed with my teen was pretty much instantaneous. I so appreciate the distinct ability of the staff to bring help and comfort to my family. ~ Aurora C

I brought my son for an evaluation for Autism and ADHD. They were incredibly comprehensive, provided a detailed report, and took my feedback about my observations at home seriously (my son tends to mask very well). Coming from the mental health feild, I felt the fees were appropriate for the amount of time spent performing the eval and completing the report. I am happy to refer people here for psychological evaluations. I know they will be well taken care of. ~ Audrey S

I'm so happy I found Dr. Womack. She's the only mental health professional who my son has ever trusted and was able to establish a rapport with. She was very thorough during the evaluation process, and very thorough with the report she wrote. She was always pleasant to work with. I recommend her unreservedly. ~ Joe K

Amazing practice. They are my go to referral in Sacramento for psychological evaluations. Plus they work with Kaiser insurance so that’s a huge plus! If you are looking for psychological testing for ADHD, autism, learning disability’s or other diagnoses, I highly recommend bridges of the mind in Sacramento! ~ Kelsey T

Dr. Frieze is very compassionate, knowledgeable and helpful with her vast experience. We needed some help with one of our kids as our family dynamic was out of whack. She brought some amazing solutions and we saw over a pretty short period of time very meaningful positive change in our child. Thank you so much! ~ Jeremy F

I got both of my Autistic boys diagnosed through Bridges, and I have to say that after our first experience I did not want to go through another company, and boy did I make a good decision. They just keep improving. My experience was feeling seen. Feeling like they took the time to really work with my boys and narrow down the areas were having issues with which made any help needed, VERY accessible per their clear instructions for assistance they send to medical. After having a diagnoses at age 5 with my first, we knew his brother at a much earlier age was experiencing some of the same symptoms. Merle worked with us with our second diagnoses, and he showed my baby that he was someone to be trusted from the beginning. I've never seen my little shy boy come out of his shell so quickly and love someone so much instantly. There are people who come into your life and you feel their warmth and the fact that they care SO MUCH. I'm convinced these people screen for the best, most empathetic people to work with them. If you are having a hard time with a possible diagnoses, I would HIGHLY recommend Bridges. This is not always an easy process, but I'm convinced they are driving to constantly improve this experience. ~ Ashley G

Bridges of the Mind is a wonderful business that excels at providing psychological testing for kids, teens, and adults. If you are looking for ADHD or autism evaluations, this is the place to go. It’s especially difficult to find testing like this for adults, and I am grateful this center exists to fill that need. ~ Beth
