Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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

Very knowledgeable, engaged, supportive. Spends plenty of time with you. Is up on latest treatments. She’s the new face of modern psychiatry; so different from the psychoanalyst types of the past. I highly recommend her.

She is encouraging and not judgmental , but she is not a pushover. She sincerely wants her patients to have a happier and healthy life.

Dr. Mckenna is the definition of a compassionate & caring Psychiatrist. I have been blessed to have my life impacted in such a positive regard over the past few years as a patient. Finding a good provider can be challenging to say the least, after your first appointment, you’ll know just how genuine this review is! (Highly Recommended)

she doesnt follow up or pay attention when calling in script refills. She doesnt follow through with treatment plans and leaves the patients on their own accord when they arent prepared for the world. she doesnt keep accurate notes at $500/ hr there is no room for accuracy and no allowance to be seen as needed to be fixed

Doctor McKenna has really been a lifesaver for me. She is caring, compassionate, and patient at each session and makes a point to explain things thoroughly. One thing that sets her apart from many others is the willingness to go above and beyond. She has always responded quickly to requests for appointments or any questions that I may have. I will so happy that I found her and I recommend her highly.

Dr. McKenna has treated my entire family for years including individual therapy and family therapy for my son, daughter, and myself. Dr. McKenna's combination of compassion, understanding, education, training, experience, dedication, and progressive thinking (outside the box) all combined with the ease of online treatment makes MD Support an excellent option with no comparison! Thank you Dr. McKenna and staff!

I was very impressed with Dr. McKenna. I was a little unsure at first of seeing a Psychiatrist online or any doctor for that matter. But, actually it worked out great. I would have been late had this not been online. I felt like she listened to me and was very engaged. I had no problem picking up my prescription and am looking forward to my follow up with her. Thank you Doc!

Dr MeKenna is one of the most positive people I know. Her practice is inviting and welcoming. She dedicates her time with me 100%. I feel heard and understood. I trust Dr McKenna and we work like a team to work things out for me.She is not overwhelming or judgemental. I respect her recommendations and she seems to know just how much i can do between sessions so I don't feel like a failure or decide not to see her again. I believe I can do again when I didn't in the past.

Dr. McKenna is an excellent psychiatrist that really cares about her patients as I could see it in her eyes when had my first appointment.....via webcam I know I know Not gonna lie at first I was skeptical if this new way of practicing medicine via webcam would feel unnatural so to speak. I thought it would be uncomfortable and impersonal, but it was just the opposite as I felt like I was right there in in the office with Dr. McKenna. She is young, ambitious and caring, very rare to find!

It is rare to find a doctor who is sincerely caring and willing to spend the time it takes to treat complex psychological disorders. If you are a parent looking for help for an adolescent, I highly recommend her. Not only will she quickly earn your child's trust, but she is very intelligent and responds to your questions and concerns in a thorough and timely manner.
