VMA Psych is truly an amazing place, from the welcoming staff to the incredible hospitality. The atmosphere feels like heaven—calm, soothing music and private offices that make the waiting experience so comfortable. They even treat the kids with candy and chocolate, which makes them feel happy and at ease. Above all, Dr. Murphy is very sympathetic, kind, and compassionate. His support from day one through to the end has been unmatched. I truly recommend VMA Psych to anyone looking for a psychoeducational assessment.
