Collegial Behavioral Health, PLLC

Collegial Behavior health is by far the best practice I’ve been too. As a medically retired veteran, the VA doesn’t fully provide the care I need and more. To start the office staff is absolutely wonderful and beyond professional. I’ve had to call a couple of times due to issues with my pharmacy and they helped resolve them. Sandra and Julie are impeccable providers. They truly put care into their work and don’t just prescribe something to fix the symptoms, they treat the root problems. Since I pay out of pocket the price isn’t bad at all and definitely well worth it. The office has a wonderful vibe to where you feel like a person and not just a name on the appointment list and a face in the crowd. Chances are that any negative reviews of this office the patients weren’t looking for actual help and more than likely had an agenda.

Sandra and her staff have been amazing to me!! Always willing to listen and find the best solutions for what I have going on!! The practice is truly a gemstone for behavioral health!

Dr. Sandra is seriously the best psychiatrist I have seen, and trust me I have seen many over the years. After struggling with anxiety and depression trying various other doctor's generic cookie cutter treatment plans, Dr. Sandra was the first to really listen to my symptoms and get to the bottom of things. Other Dr.'s I've seen would hear depression and immediately throw the most popular SSRI at me without further discussion or other options but Dr. Sandra was able to see it was not as simple as that and each patient is unique. She discussed multiple options for me to try, explained in detail exactly what the medications would be doing on a biological/chemical level in my case, took my opinion into account, and also reinforced that self care is also a major part of improving my mental health on top of the medications. I felt heard for the first time and well taken care of. Dr. Sandra is super nice and very supportive. I *highly* recommend seeing her if you are looking for a new doctor!

For 2 years, I went to Carolina Partners. Both of the doctors I saw at Carolina Partners left the company. Within that time, neither could find the right medications to help me. I must have tried 10 to 12 different medications. Then I made an appointment to see Sandra. From the first visit she was nice, polite, and did not rush me when telling her about all the medications I have tried and what I was feeling. She is by far the most knowledgeable when it comes to medicines. Each visit, I told her what I was feeling and she would go over multiple medicines that could help me. For each medicine, she would state how it functioned, the side effects, when it should kick in, and if it would interact with any other medication. Throughout the whole time, I felt she was on my side like a family member. She genuinely cares about the people she is helping. In my experience, it is hard to find someone who is knowledgeable, down to earth, and cares. And with Sandra Alexander, she carries all 3 of these traits.
