Recent reviews
She was thorough with questioning. Though maybe ask some more personable questions to get to know me a little better rather than the list of questioning I’m sure she has to fill out. However I realize she has to do that and we only get 30 minutes. She did a very good job and was nice to talk to.

My psychiatrist never joined the session
She’s simply amazing… so helpful and understanding. An asset to Brightside.
This was a wonderful session
The session was fine and it was determined that I need to change the plan that I signed up for but this website does not make it easy. I'll await another email from you with instructions on how to make that happen so I can get started. Thank you.
Jennifer is great! Very nice and professional. Covered a lot of assessment questions and gave very clear expectations on next steps.
Jennifer was great, staying the course!
Very professional, kind and explain properly in details everything
Jennifer is so kind and calming, it is hard to ask for help and even harder to know you need it. She makes the experience of having to take medication to cope with depression and anxiety much easier. I truly appreciate her and I think she is wonderful at her job.
Answer all my question she suggested alot of options for me ...
Late to scheduled appointment with no communication
She is very helpful and a good listener.
She’s great! Thank you for always checking in.
I always enjoy meeting with Jennifer. She is so comforting and upbeat.
Mrs. Upcraft was great, I felt like she listened and is helping me with my concerns
Cant think of anything for her to do better.
She is wonderful and I'm very happy with the care I get from her.
So nice, and willing to answer all my questions or point me in the right direction. Thank you so much.
All good! I like her a lot.
Good but sometimes she doesn’t have sufficient notes regarding my case. She has gotten my script incorrect and recalled it incorrectly and that has made things challenging and slowed down progress
I logged in at 10:47, after my prev appt w a Brightside Therapist at 10. Ms. Up Taft was not on the meeting.
I’m really needing help with symptoms of my adhd my anxiety is slowly getting better but my adhd is to the point where I can’t even sit a finish a chapter of a book without feeling the urge to go elsewhere and play with something else
Jenn is great! Appreciate her kindness and knowledge managing my medications
She went above and beyond in answering my questions and helping with all my concerns. Very empathetic and great at what she does! Thanks for your help!
I love her to death she is amazing and actually cares and listens
She listened and help find a medication that I am comfortable tot ale since I don’t like to take medications. Makes me anxious. She was very engaging and caring. Easy to talk to.
