Comprehensive quality care with an extremely knowledgable, intelligent, compassionate and down to earth staff! I am mental health therapist who is willing to travel the distance from the east bay to be seen by the staff at Helios. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Dore and was absolutely blown away by her brilliance. She thinks both in and out of the box when it comes to treatments and the knowledge base she possess is extraordinary! Her staff is all around amazing, highly trained and dedicated to their work.
