Piper Beaton59 days agoI've had multiple psychiatrists through nexus and they all have been incredibly kind and informative. They always take the time to understand your situation and concerns before recommending anything and truly value your input. Its genuinely a collaborative experience, they never force anything on you and always give ample information about the medication you will be taking so you wont be surprised. I'd recommend this place to anyone, but especially those who are hesitant to go to a psychiatrist or have had bad experiences with them in the past.Posted on Google

Morgan Klauscher97 days agoI have been a patient with The Nexus Group for over 2.5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh from a different state so I was initially worried about how to find a new mental health provider in a city that's bigger than I was used to. I reached out for a new patient appointment and got scheduled within two weeks of my intake form submission. My provider is Samantha R. and she is fantastic! I have been seeing her since my new patient appointment and Samantha always asks how I'm doing first, hears my concerns, asks if I have any questions and answers them thoroughly. I don't (and never) have any problems with getting my meds/refills sent to my pharmacy. I HAVE to mention their customer service and billing departments because I've never had ANY issues, which is something you don't hear a lot! I hate getting on the phone and calling but their representatives are nice and very helpful. I have recommended The Nexus Group to my friends, family and even colleagues at work and will continue to do so.Posted on Google

Heather Smith449 days agoSo glad I found The Nexus Group! My insurance went hard generic on meds & my previous Psych NP was not a good fit for this situation. I found my current Psych PA and drove more than an hour to have my first appointment with her about 2 years ago. She has been amazing! She's compassionate, patient, understanding, super knowledgeable, easy to talk to & got me back on the meds that worked best with my brain! I now have the energy & mental spoons to dig myself out of the chaos that my life spiraled into when I didn't have access to the correct meds at a reasonable cost. Every staff member that I have interacted with along the way has been kind, professional and helpful.Posted on Google

The staff are friendly and the office is clean and welcoming. Thanks for helping me, Nexus Group!Posted on Google
Gabrielle Feldman1190 days agoDr. Thorkelson changed my life. I struggled with years of serious treatment resistant depression and over a year and a half ago I did TMS here. Not only have I not had another depressive episode, but I was able to get through significant physical illness in the past year without slipping back into a depressed state. It changed my life, and I can't thank this place enough for finally getting me back on track again Update: just wanted to pop back in and say that I'm about 2 years out from treatment and have still had complete remission of my symptoms. Because of Dr. Thorkelson's in depth workup that included blood panels, doctors I had worked with after him were actually able to use that information to help diagnose endometriosis. I don't think if I had done TMS before that I would've had the motivation to seek medical care for that. For the first time in my life, every medical problem I've dealt with doesn't have an impact on me anymore. I wouldn't have gotten to this place without his help and detailed work up. Get your blood panels done because you don't know how important those might be in the future and how relevant that information might be to other providers.Posted on Google

From start to finish this is one of the best experiences of my life. Compassion, kindness, understanding, supportive in every way are just a few days to describe the Nexus Group! Being diagnosed 2 days before turning 40 can be scaring and hard to handle. But everyone at the Nexus group made me feel so comfortable and removed the stress that a diagnosis can bring on. I am forever grateful to be finally heard and understood. Thank you so so much Nexus group for caring about the people you help. Youve helped me get onto the path of good health and im so grateful!!!Posted on Google

lisa michele marino1270 days agoWho ever heard of a holistic psychiatrist? Not me, that’s for sure! Dr. Thorkelson has a unique approach that includes looking for alternatives to traditional medicine to actually heal you versus just prescribing meds to mask symptoms. The alternatives for me have included introducing supplements specific to my needs, making dietary changes, meditation, acupuncture, and so on. With Dr. Thorkelson’s guidance and support I feel like I’m on the “right” path to wellness...mind and body. I cannot advocate enough for his approach to healing. I honestly didn’t know a psychiatrist could be so genuine, caring, competent, and interested in getting me healthy. Thanks Dr T! UPDATE: After a particularly challenging year or so, I started (and finished) TMS therapy. While I’m not 100%, I am significantly better and able to manage my life. I’ve also started ketamine therapy and it is the best experience for finding deep-seated issues. Thanks Dr. T for all your help and guidancePosted on Google

I R1338 days agoI have seen many doctors prior to Dr. Thorkelson, and he is the first one that has put in the effort to look past easy answers and is able to see the genuine picture of my well-being, as well as hold me accountable for taking care of myself. His colleague - Rebekah is also caring and knowledgeable. I feel more empowered in making decisions toward my mental health thanks to them.Posted on Google
Sean Hick1351 days agoRecommended by my therapist and been with Dr. Thorkelson for few years now. He is just great at what he does.

He suggested supplements, diet before medication. After few months my symptoms improved significantly. Thank you for all you do.Posted on Google
Alison Molnar1359 days agoThe scheduling process was efficient and thorough but not arduous. The office staff is attentive and I have not had trouble getting through at any point.

Rachel N.1414 days agoWorking with Britanni M. has changed our daughter's life. As parents of a 10 year-old struggling with crippling anxiety, our concerns were numerous and the need for finding solid, ongoing care for our child was of upmost importance. For us, there was also an intense sense of urgency and this practice was able to accommodate our schedule incredibly fast. After meeting with Brittani, our daughter was diagnosed with OCD and the puzzle pieces immediately began to fall into place. That diagnosis and the following treatment has made such a difference for our little girl. We truly look forward to our appointments with Britanni because they are so incredibly helpful. Britanni's kindness, compassion and expertise are beyond words. The staff is also very gracious, attentive, and understanding. The online components and appointment reminders are phenomenal. We feel like we have found a gem in The Nexus Group. Thank you all so very much.Posted on Google

holly1429 days agoI reached out to establish care after moving to the area. I was contacted quickly by the office to schedule an appointment. My intake assessment was straight forward. The office was clean and modern. The follow up appointments have been virtual which was important to me. I have had several appointments with Jayne, and she has been very kind and understanding. She never makes me feel like she is too busy or hurrying through the appointments - even when I'm struggling with the virtual platform. She takes time to listen and explain treatment options, expectations, and follow up care. The office staff have always been kind and professional when I have been in the office, or if we speak on the phone.Posted on Google
Josh Weston1429 days agoI see Kalya. A life changing experience. Everyone is very friendly. The virtual software offers concise documentation. Most importantly my interactions are genuine, my voice is heard and the knowledge is top tier. I always feel like I'm getting the most up to date accurate care and feedback. They don't miss anything and even after 6th months worth of appointments we have an authentic conversation at each appointment. You can tell they do their reaserch and have through experience.Posted on Google

John McDermitt1542 days agoDay 1 of entering TMS treatment, I could barely take care myself. I was so incredibly anxious that I didn't have the energy to work, exercise physically, or really feel connected to anyone. I am entering my "tapering" period and I cannot believe how far I have come. TMS with a mix of a stimulant and CBT therapy has helped me incredibly. I am starting to dream again and have so many visions that I am now stressed about which one to pursue. Things aren't close to perfect. A lot of the work I have done myself. Because of this work and because of the kind and generous services of ALL of the staff at the Nexus group, I am exercising more (yoga), showing interest in a hobby I have never shown interest in (golf), am considering multiple places to volunteer, and applying for jobs where I can help people. Again, things still aren't perfect but this experience has allowed me to see a path through Major Depression with Anxiety. There is hope. Start by getting here and you are seriously going in the right direction. Thank you, Nexus!Posted on Google

Russ Colwell1709 days agoI've been under the continuous care of Dr. T for years at this point, and have nothing to say but good things, not just about him, but absolutely everyone in both the Squirrel Hill and Robinson offices. With mental health issues stemming from TBI, my body just doesn't respond to most medications in a positive manner. Dr. T goes above and beyond at keeping up with my care regimen, explaining why we're doing what we're doing, proposing options to get my thoughts, and executing to plan. To put things quite plainly, the folks at The Nexus Group care about their patients getting well, and I'm glad that I crossed paths with them, as they're an absolute beacon of hope.Posted on Google

Kris Pamela1779 days agoUpdate: very professional and apologetic for the connection errors and miscommunication. I suggested new patients strictly do their first appointment on a desktop computer, as cell phones may have connection errors like I had. Plus, I didn't know all first appointments 100% needed to be a video call. Dr. Thorkelson was able to squeeze me into his schedule and I didn't have to wait another month for another appointment. That is truly amazing to find a practice to go out of their way to make things right these days. Had to wait a month for a new patient appointment. Seemed simple to do a Telemed appointment. I went out to my car to have privacy for my appointment, since I would have zero privacy in my cubicle at work. I login 5 minutes early. After 3 failed attempts to connect, they tell me it's my phone and they are going to text me a link. Still could not connect via the link that was texted to me. Not even sure who I was speaking with, but she told me they were going to send an email link to me, but I the meantime I get another link via text message. I said I did not get an email, but another link via text message and was told it just was an autotext. Okay, no problem, it's now 20 mins past my appointment time, and waiting for the email. The woman tells me she will call me back. I'm wait and waiting for an email, never ever did get an email. The lady calls me back, annoyed with me and tells me it's too far past my appointment time my appointment needs to be rescheduled. Super super bummed because I really needed this appointment. She was sorta rude to me, told me I was to have all these technical issues taken care of BEFORE I log into my appointment (how am I supposed to know my phone wasn't going to work, I don't have issues with it for any other meeting?!?). The woman reschedules my appointment annnd yeah I have to wait another month.Posted on Google

With her support and expertise, we put together a treatment plan that has helped me get on a better path.

I am so happy that I finally made my mental health a priority and thankful that the Nexus Group has been such a great experience!Posted on Google
placelabjustice2005 days agoThe Nexus group has provided stellar care. Dr. Rucki is attentive, communicative, and conservative in her prescription of medication—never once did I feel I was taking more than I needed to, and the meds I did take were customized according to my needs. She has been a great ally in my mental health journey, and I would recommend the Nexus group to anyone who is looking for quality mental health care in the Pittsburgh area.Posted on Google

Karan Gupta2049 days agoNexus Group has a great staff and a knowledgeable team.. They were very caring and I was put to ease with detailed explanations and support at every step.

I highly recommend Dr. Thorkelson!!!Posted on Google
Demitra Kourtzidis2078 days agoI started out working with Dr. Thorkelson last year. I had never felt like psychiatrists listened to me until the Nexus Group (and I’ve seen a handful). He did a really thorough job with my intake and then handed me over to Rachel, who is also amazing. I can’t say enough good things about them. If you’ve had bad experiences before and are worried about choosing a new psychiatrist, I promise you will not go wrong with the Nexus Group.Posted on Google

Jackie Ledbetter2110 days agoWe all know that 2020 has been a friend to no one. As someone who has suffered anxiety and depression most of my adult life, everything was exacerbated x 100 this year. I decided to finally address the problem when my depression symptoms weren’t responding to any of the medications or dose increases I was taking. To be perfectly honest, every day was a fight not to end it all. When I started TMS therapy I was absolutely certain it would not work. I went though the steps and did was I was supposed to do but in the back of my mind I definitely did not think that it would help me, because nothing had. I had a few mild headaches the first week but other than that, I’ve had no lingering symptoms from treatment itself. Today I can say that I have not felt this well mentally in years. I started sleeping better after a couple of weeks. Somewhere around the end of the third week, I noticed I had an increased interest in doing activities as simple as going to a store or spending times with friends whereas before TMS, I just wanted to lay in bed and not talk to anyone. I am thrilled with the results I’ve gotten from TMS. It was absolutely been life changing for me and without it I don’t think I would have ever made it out of 2020.Posted on Google
Deborah O2178 days agoDr. Gregory Thorkelson has been the best psychiatrist that I have ever gone to. I have been to quite a few psychiatrists who want to put or keep you on medicine, and he is not like that. He thinks outside the box and really listens. Here is an awesome example. Whenever I get overwhelmed with anxiety, my brain just wants to check out. Most doctors just prescribed medication because that has been the standard. And while Dr. Thorkelson believes in medicine, he wants to get to the root of your problem and solve it. He recommended a product called the Revibe. It is a device that looks like my Fitbit. It sends random vibrations so that you don't stay in the distracted state. When I say that he thinks outside the box, this device is used for individuals who have ADHD and need to stay on task. However, since he wants to solve the problem of distraction, he suggested this device, and it has helped. Like I mentioned, he does believe in medication, so he did prescribe medicine to take whenever the overwhelm was too great and the Revibe wasn't as effective. But on those days that the Revibe is effective, I am putting 1 less pill in my body, and to me - that is priceless!!Posted on Google
Allison Ladavat2255 days agoI've been seeing Rachel at the Nexus Group since March and couldn't be more pleased with the care I've been receiving. She has been thorough, compassionate, and attentive throughout my ongoing treatment. I've never felt as confident with my psychiatric care before. My treatment feels very individualized and when I'm meeting with her, I feel like I'm her only patient.Posted on Google
Patricia Wallace2311 days agoVery professional and caring staff. They made the experience enjoyable. Loved the spa atmosphere and after-treatment massage chair too. The end result of the treatments was a positive outcome. I am definitely dealing much better with issues that would have caused anxiety in the past My level of depression improved a good bit. The treatments did not cause any discomfort. The only thing I noticed the first few weeks was a little fatigue afterwards and occasional headache. I saw more improvement after the TMS treatments than I ever had with medications.Posted on Google
Gabby D.2409 days agoDr. Thorkelson is a life saver! I was severely depressed to the point that I could barely function, but wanted to try a natural route to manage/relieve my depression, as I had experienced too many negative side effects of anti-depressants. Dr. Thorkelson ordered blood tests on me which revealed low levels of iron and zinc in my blood, which could affect certain chemicals in the brain. With the gradual build up of taking iron and zinc supplements, in addition to meditation and other techniques that he recommended, I can say that I'm almost back to feeling 100% like myself again!Posted on Google

Ethan Shade2427 days agoDr. Gregory Thorkelson is a consistent, professional, and personable doctor. He has a very diverse and thorough knowledge of treatments and prescription drugs that can help his patients. He is reasonable and considerate with patient input / outside recommendation, and safe with how he handles the drugs and dosages he prescribes. I appreciated his ability to follow up on previous appointments and option to meet via tele-psychiatry which gave both of us a greater conscience factor and available times to meet.Posted on Google
Morgan McWilliams2465 days agoI've been a patient of Dr. Thorkelson's for 6 months and have noticed improvements in my anxiety since starting treatment with him. However, in the last month I have noticed a significant improvement with the supplements he prescribed. In the last month of taking these, my sleep has improved, my anxiety is not as predominant, and overall I feel like my motivation is back. Medications definitely have helped me but I truly feel these supplements on top of the meds are why I am feeling as good as I do. I highly recommend Dr. Thorkelson and taking supplements as an additional therapy!Posted on Google
Danyelle Roadman2481 days agoDr. Thorkelson is not only the best psychiatrist I’ve seen, but also the best doctor I’ve ever seen in my life. Before seeing Dr. Thorkelson, I spent years searching for remedies to my issues. I had tried everything from alternative therapies to searching for underlying medical issues. I was skeptical of medication, but the approaches I was trying were not working. When I started to see Dr. Thorkelson, he was able to recommend supplements as well as medications to help me achieve optimal well being. He actually listens to his patients and treats them as a whole person. I’m am so grateful to have found him. He helped me get my life back. I’ve already referred numerous people to his practice. I can hardly put into words how much he has helped me.Posted on Google
Marisa Floro2568 days agoI have only positive feedback to share about Dr. Thorkelson. I've referred others both professionally and personally to his practice.

I highly recommend Dr. Thorkelson to those hoping to engage in psychiatric services for mental health treatment.Posted on Google
Bronwyn Doyle2577 days agoWhat I really like about Dr. Thorkelson is that he is well-versed with the gut-brain axis approach to mental health and wellbeing. He has clinical training and background in both gastroenterology and in mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is right up my alley as a Vipassana meditator. He is very personable and easy to talk with. I'm a 55 year-old woman post menopausal with a history of depression, anxiety and gut issues. He has helped guide me with specific dietary changes that are really making a difference in my energy level, both physical and mental. No more foggy brain. He did not just throw pills at me but instead treated me as a whole person, ready, willing and able. He also knows my naturopath Dr. Sari Cohen at UPMC integrative medicine and clearly understands her approach to healing both my leaky gut as well as helping my depression. I would highly recommend Dr. Thorkelson.Posted on Google

Lisa Lamb2656 days agoLearning to live with the aftermath of trauma. Intense pain and trauma, a life-changing diagnosis of severe Crohn’s Disease, a true life-threatening event during surgery - 11 weeks after having my only child - left my previously carefree mental attitude and upbeat (normal?) personality in shards. I was very resistant to repeated recommendations to begin seeing Dr. Thorkelson in 2014 by my caring GI specialist. I eventually gave in and showed up to share my raw anger, fears, frustration, and frequent anxiety attacks with a stranger. I wasn’t nice, instead angry and scared. I was hopeless and vulnerable and fiercely skeptical that I would gain any tangible benefit by crying to a stranger. We all try to “fix” ourselves on our own. I felt that seeking mental help for a physical illness meant admitting I’d failed mentally as well as physically. I was wrong. Over many years, I have been treated like gold by Dr. Thorkelson. I know he has a multitude of patients, but from the beginning I have felt I must be his only one. He is an extremely intelligent, attentive, perceptive, caring man. These genuine qualities existing in his own personality serve to make him an absolute expert in his field. Trust that this man is safe. There is no degrading judgment for the very raw emontial expressions of pain, loss, and grief. For over five years, Dr. Thorkelson has consistently offered a deep sense of comfort during my most traumatic times. He has done so much for me. With Dr. Thorkelson, patients can expect to receive prompt communication, relevant diagnostic testing, excellent advice, perfect suggestions for helpful and life-changing reading materials directly resulting in positive personal growth. He truly makes the doctor-patient dynamic feel more like you’re building a relationship with a great new friend. Once again, this too is a reflection of Dr. Thorkelson’s character. I have referred several close friends to this physician, and I subsequently get to watch their improvements as well. I could easily go on for paragraphs. He will always be an integral part of my mental as well as physical health. Don’t let this one get away!!Posted on Google
Lee Yee2668 days agoI had a great experience with Dr. Thorkelson. He is a compassionate listener who takes a wholistic approach to mental disorders. I enjoyed our conversations and didn't feel intimidated or rushed out of the office at all. -Medication wise, he provided me with an organized dosing schedule but also encouraged me to experiment and find the optimal dose for myself. He explained every aspect of the drug, including the potential for abuse and how to best use it for long-term benefit instead of short-term relief. He respected my feedbacks and adjusted the regimen based on our discussions. The active participation and flexibility helped me set a responsible attitude towards these potentially harmful substances. For that, I'm immensely grateful. -Beyond medication, Dr. Thorkelson encouraged me to try out a number of activities including meditation, vitamin and other supplements, sleep tracking and regualr excercise. While some weren't effective for me, others worked quite well. These combined with medication were able to carry me through a deeply miserable time of my life. With the help of Dr. Thorkelson, I restored a healthy lifestyle and reclaimed my passions. Would recommend without a doubt.Posted on Google
Colton John2680 days agoAfter suffering from severe depression for years I finally decided to seek professional help. I told my PCP and we did a blood test which pretty much came up inconclusive and he put me on an antidepressant, which helped a little bit. Still feeling depressed I decided to find a specialist and I found Dr.Thorkelson.we sat down and talked and decided to do another blood test, this time more thorough then the one before. Dr.Thorkelson used his personal knowledge to advise me to take more Zinc because he thought my Zinc levels were low. Which my PCP either overlooked or didn’t have the knowledge to point this out to me. So long story short I took the zinc and it worked!!! My depression went away! I feel completely back to normal! I noticed right away. My friends and family noticed. I’m so grateful for everything Dr.Thorkelson has done for me and is continuing to do. I have my life back. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.Posted on Google
Grant Rowlands2680 days agoTo put it bluntly, Dr. Thorkelson saved my life. Without his care and treatment, I would not be living today nor be able to carry-on with my personal/professional life. I would recommend Dr. Thorkelson without hesitation to anyone looking for a psychiatrist.Posted on Google
Jennifer Crook2681 days agoDr. Thorkelson has been transformative for me...when I started seeing him years ago, my mental and physical health were poor, but with the integrative approach he took, I am now taking supplements and prescription medications that make me healthy, happy, and content. I couldn't recommend him enough. You won't find a better doctor to treat you as a whole human, not just a single system.Posted on Google

Krysty Kunkel2716 days agoDr. Thorkelson has been, by far, the most helpful doctor I have ever encountered. I have spent countless hours and dollars trying to uncover the cause of life-long ailments, with no progress or relief. I was close to resigning myself to the dismissive explanations posed by previous doctors who claimed it was just “anxiety” or who have doubted and patronized me. I appreciate Dr. Thorkelson’s attention to mind and body connections as well as his steadfast belief that “normal” should not be a standardized range—he understands that what is healthy for one patient may not be for another. I will be forever grateful for his treatment, support, and for restoring my confidence in medical professionals.Posted on Google
Molly2795 days agoI went in feeling quite nervous, but Dr. Thorkelson put me at ease. I had no idea that adults could also suffer from previously undiagnosed ADD. He was extremely thorough and took a multi-faceted approach. In the past few months I can honestly say that, under his care, my life has changed. I have never felt better, nor happier. I only regret that I didn't seek help sooner.Posted on Google
Amy Jobes Abraham2797 days agoI talked to Dr. Thorkelson, he listened. He changed my diet (no milk AT ALL) and looked at things other doctors didn't see as important. The no dairy change has been great.... I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I never wanted to be that annoying person who ordered special or was too picky. I haven't felt this good in YEARS. I'm losing weight and have more energy. So worth it!Posted on Google
Hollie Mizzi2809 days agoDr. Thorkelson has a different approach than other psychiatrists and one that is much appreciated. Rather than simply throwing pills at a problem, he takes the time to get to know you as a patient and treats the whole person. He uses relevant science to inform his decisions and is happy to take the time to share his reasoning with you. Highly recommend!Posted on Google
ren zav2820 days agoDr. Thorkelson without a doubt the most thorough, detailed, intelligent, caring physician I have ever encountered. He is the best listener I have ever met, and truly digests every detail of information I give him. I was extremely hesitant to go to a psychiatrist because I thought they would push antidepressants and anti anxiety meds, and my experience with him has been the complete opposite. He listened to my concerns about medications, side effects, etc. and made a plan that I was more than happy with trying a more natural, conservative route first. I don't think most psychiatrists would have done this. He makes sure to look at the entire body (blood work, ekg, etc) so that he does not miss anything going on- he was the first Dr. to find something concerning in my blood work which was the cause of most of my symptoms. He is so genuinely caring and truly wants to know how I am doing. This is someone you tell your deepest feelings to, and not once has he made me feel crazy or uncomfortable. Its the opposite- he is so accepting and approachable and makes any issues you're having seem okay and "normal." To anyone on the fence, DO IT, make the appointment with him. I was the most skeptical person on the planet and I can say that meeting him was honestly the best decision I have ever made for my mental and physical health. He turned me - a person who hated the word & stigma of a psychiatrist and all that it entailed, to a huge advocate. I cannot say enough positive things. Also, he is always on time, office staff is extremely friendly, and organized, and everyone is super responsive. Thank you so much Dr. Thorkelson & Nexus group for truly changing my life!Posted on Google
Joshua Popson2822 days agoI’m so thankful and appreciative for Dr. Thorkelson. I would highly recommend his practice to all my family and friends. I discovered his practice by a google search after failed attempts by my primary care physician to remedy my depression and anxiety. He has helped me get my life back. Through the bloodwork he ordered, I found out the reasons why I was feeling the way I was. Having very low vitamin D and B12 levels contributed to my mood, my feelings of fatigue, and ultimately depression and anxiety. He checked everything and was very thorough, not to miss anything that might correlate. Looking back, I wish I would’ve went to see him first instead of wasting so much of my time and money getting no results with my PCP. His medication philosophy is only when needed and start off at the lowest doses. I would also recommend him for fellow members of the LGBT community. I felt safe coming out to him. He’s a great psychiatrist, can’t say enough good things about him. His practice is very modern and comfortable and he listens to his patients. Thanks again, Doc!Posted on Google

Virginia H2830 days agoI began to see Dr. Thorkelson because I liked his out-of-the-box thinking that he demonstrated when treating my children. I have a long history of depression and anxiety that stem from childhood trauma. After a couple of sessions, he recommended trying EMDR therapy. When he described it, the inner skeptic in me was already sure this would be a waste of time. However, I realized that I was at the point where my past trauma was affecting my health and overall well-being. I had been in counseling for years, but I never felt like it helped me stop dissociating or going into fight-or-flight mode when experiencing a trigger. While researching, I read about the incredible healing many people said they had experienced from EMDR. Dr. Thorkelson likened it to this scenario - Our trauma is like a TV blaring loudly in a room. We can't avoid it. When you do EMDR, it makes the trauma retreat and it becomes like a TV that is on quietly across the room. After doing research, I decided that it couldn't hurt to try. The first session blew me away. Dr. Thorkelson was respectful of my space. If he is treating a woman, he makes sure that his office assistant is in the office to ensure safety. With this therapy, he never even needs to touch you or get that close. Before we started, we talked about the trauma we would cover that day and what my safe place would be. We began by me closing my eyes and bringing back the memory of the trauma. When I went back to the trauma, he had me notice what I was feeling and experiencing. Then he told me to imagine myself in a safe place. He waved his right hand back and forth rhythmically in front of my eyes while I did this and followed the motion of his hand. After that, he had me note what I felt in my body, and we would focus on that feeling while he continued to wave his hand. We continued this until the negative sensations (pain, tingling, tension or cold in a part of my body). During later sessions, this process sometimes took additional steps as I would feel waves of emotion come out or additional memories would surface. We ended a session when I no longer felt unpleasant symptoms in my body. I was surprised at how much I already felt relief after most sessions. The only exception were a couple of sessions when I was still feeling intense feelings, but we were at a point that we could stop. He would encourage me to stay in the office until I felt stable enough to drive and offered to have my call him if it did not deescalate. During the two weeks in between appointments, my body and mind processed the memories. While my brain sorted these memories into the correct places, I would sometimes go through waves of emotion and feelings of elation. These would sometimes get intense, and I called Dr. Thorkelson a couple of times asking if what I was feeling was normal. He was always quick with his responses and extremely helpful. By the end of the two weeks, I was usually ready to work through another trauma in our next session. During each session, Dr. Thorkelson was extremely encouraging. There were times where I wanted to quit because revisiting the memories was so painful, but he listened and then had me remember why I was doing this and the positive effects on my body if I stuck with this. I am so grateful I did not quit. I am finally at a point where I can say that I am not triggered by my past trauma. Just recently, I was able to be near the person who traumatized me the most without dissociating or shutting down. In fact, when thinking about any of my traumatic memories, I feel almost nothing. I see the memory but do not have strong feelings attached to it anymore. I can clearly look back at my past and see patterns and understand why I do things the way I do. Before this, my past was a blur. Now I am beginning to identify the causes for certain behavior patterns I have and begin to make progress with those. I am experiencing healing and growing as a person for the first time in my life! I now have the chance to discover who I am as a survivor and not as a victim. Thank you, Dr. Thorkelson!Posted on Google
Michelle Psaros2834 days agoWe have been bringing our son to see Dr. Thorkelson for over 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the care he provides. He is simply amazing at what he does!

He looks at the totality of the patient’s situation and refuses to go directly to prescription medications. We highly recommend Dr. Thorkelson if you want the BEST care!Posted on Google
G V2839 days agoI've been working with Dr. Thorkelson for 3-4 years now. I have known him to be a very caring and knowledgeable provider, who is passionate about the work he does. I appreciate how he incorporates his personality and sense of humor into his sessions, while still maintaining boundaries. I think he does a good job of balancing traditional psychiatric approaches to treating mental health with more holistic approaches (diet, mindfulness, exercise, etc). As a gay male, I have had no issues with feeling accepted by this provider, which in and of itself has been therapeutic for me.Posted on Google

John Darby2850 days agoI have an often misdiagnosed condition, that traditional treatments did not seem to respond to. My treatment is often complicated by other preexisting medical conditions as well. I feel the care I receive here is not just atypical and comprehensive, but really treats me as a whole person.

I recommend this practice and his unique approach.Posted on Google

Robyn Kirkman2901 days agoPsychiatric treatment that successfully goes beyond the list of medications. I've always been incredibly skeptical of the vitamin/supplement craze, and trusted actual medications. After a battery of blood tests, careful analysis, and detailed explanations of neurotransmitter effects, I followed Dr Thorkelson's instructions on things like specific zinc supplements that don't impact my copper levels. Arcane stuff, suggested not by homeopathy but by 16 vials of analyzed blood. And, wow, it works. I'm still on my medications, but it turns out that if you mess with body chemistry scientifically (instead of eating ground up dandelions) you can get serious results from that too, and Dr Thorkelson is an expert at both.Posted on Google
Leah2907 days agoDr. Thorkelson is the best kind of psychiatrist there is, one that not only focuses on mental health but your overall health. He really looks at the big picture and doesn’t just push different medications at you. He truely listens and does his best to figure out the best treatment plan for you. Whether it’s OTC medications or supplements, prescriptions or different lifestyle changes, Dr. Thorkelson always considers the best combination that will help you individually in the best way possible. I began seeing Dr. Thorkelson at a very low point in my life when I was struggling with school and battling anxiety/depression, ADHD and narcolepsy. When I was down on myself I could always trust that Dr. Thorkelson was not going to make me feel worse but that he would help me look at my decisions and help me find ways to change for the better. Now I have graduated with my masters degree and am happier than I have been in a long time and that is in part to the help and care that Dr. Thorkelson has given me.Posted on Google

Nina2936 days agoI can't say enough good things about Dr. Thorkelson. When I began seeing him 6 months ago I knew I was a tough case. Dr. Thorkelson has really listened to my concerns and helped me to find a treatment plan that works. When I'm not feeling well he's very willing to troubleshoot and investigate what may have changed; I really appreciate the fact that he focuses on supplements rather than solely on medication. Sometimes it's difficult to find a doctor who is willing to listen and explain to you some reasons behind your mental health as well as why he's suggesting the treatment that he is. If you're looking for a great Psychiatrist I can't recommend Dr. Thorkelson enough!Posted on Google
Sarah Weller2937 days agoI've only been working with Dr. Thorkelson for about 4 months but he's legit changed my life! He's helped me get my mind and energy back - making me finally feel 'normal' again. As a new patient, he truly approached me as a clean slate. During our first visit, he took the time to walk through my background to really understand how and why I was there. He was open to everything I shared with him - asking thoughtful questions that probed other insights - and suggesting connections between situations that previous DRs had never considered. His fresh perspective led to something that I had no idea was happening and instead of walking out with a new prescription, he gave me options that allowed me to take control of my own health and wellbeing.Posted on Google
Michael H2946 days agoDr. Thorkelson is awesome! He is what a mental health professional and doctor should be. He doesn't put you on any unnecessary medications, gets to know you as a client before changing medications and actually listens to all concerns.

Best doctor I've seen in 10 years.Posted on Google

With tears of joy I can say that have spent over ten years trying to find someone who could help our daughter and finally I can say that we have found him in Dr. Thorkelson. He is a physician who makes time for his patients, LISTENS to the parents, and looks at a whole family, whole body, whole mind, whole soul approach to understand and truly manage the unique needs of his patients. He has also helped me to develop compassion for myself and my own needs for self-care, nutrition, and exercise to optimize my energy levels and be the mother that my family needs me to be.Posted on Google

Zara Collier3055 days agoI have been seeing Dr. Thorkelson for a little over 6 months, and he has changed my life. After 20 years of dealing with pain and depression, he was the first doctor to really help me - not just "deal" with it, but make progress towards getting better. He took the time to get to know me, every detail of my medical history, my fear of needles, etc. He didn't just diagnose me with depression after one meeting and start me on some antidepressant, he helped me figure out I actually have something else that antidepressants don't help. He was respectful of my hesitation and waited until he felt he had a comprehensive list of blood tests based on my history so I only had to go in once to most likely see results. He approached my issues with science, and helped me find OTC remedies to hold me over (while we were still figuring out what direction we should go medication wise) instead of just shoving a pill at me like some of my previous doctors had done. He doesn't focus on labels - just my goals of having a better mood and less pain and my reactions to different medications and diets and stress. Overall, I'm still not feeling my best - but I am feeling better, having more good days than bad, and for the first time in my life I have hope I won't be in pain for the rest of my life.Load more
