Dr. Akira is truly something else. Instead of pushing pills like other psychs he listened to me and prioritized my health and ambitions. He gave me life advice and sat with me when
times were hard instead of brushing me off as just another one of his patients. He truly
saved my life.

Dr Akira is one of the best of the best! He is extremely relatable and easy to talk to. He
provides excellent examples. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the "homework" tasks he's
assigned to help me in my journey toward positive mental health and overall health.

I was going through so much in my life and I was overwhelmed by my circumstances. Dr.
Akira helped me so so much. He helped me to be able to stand on my own two feet with
confidence and to realize my self worth. Because of Dr. Akira I look at life differently now.
