What our clients are saying ...

"Child & Family Guidance Center has given me life again.  After years of suffering from Major Depression and trying many different medications, Dr. Sodhi has become more than just a psychiatrist.  I feel at home here.  - Sandy

"My son was struggling with grades, attention, and getting along with others.  We didn't know where else to turn and without insurance our options seemed limited.  Dr. Griffin gave us the time and attention necessary to understand our situation and prescribe the appropriate medications.  I have my son back.  - April
