July 23, 2021
I always feel consistently met where I am at in a way that feels cautious, deliberate, professional, responsible and safe-keeping from a health perspective consistently with Dr. Gregory Helton. He does whatever he can to benefit in common sense ways and also does a lot of good with very simple and direct methodologies for what to say and when to say it or say nothing to what can erupt in a thirty check-in when it's been three months, that I find outstanding from an objective mental health worker evaluation perspective, and extremely helpful personally.
July 22, 2021
Everyone is so compassionate and takes time to talk to me when I call; when I m going through a hard time that makes a massive difference. I have actually already made recommendations and I know of at least one person who now goes to MindPath. Dr. Helton has really been so kind to me. Your receptionists are so kind and act like I m the only one they are helping when I m sure they have other calls on hold.

He pays attention to questions
July 17, 2021
Dr. Helton sincerely cares about my personal well-being. I ve had to have the receptionist give him a request to contact me for help and he goes out of his way to do so. He s one of a kind. I would highly recommend MINDPATH to anyone who is needing to see a therapist. Everyone there really cares about their patients.

November 13, 2020
I trust Dr Helton, I believe he is smart, well educated in Psychiatric Care and Medicine. I believe if I had seen him during the worst of times, my worst of times would not have lasted as long, my suffering and feelings of despair would have been to lesser degrees. I would have learned "cognitive" skills.
October 28, 2020
I have dealt with mental illness for 25 yrs & have had several psychiatrists. None seemed to truly care about understand issues and med management like he does. He really listens. He shares his rational. Adding another med is rarely needed cause he listens to where I am coming from & encourages my input. Absolute best & simplest of all is that he is prompt at responding when am not doing well during sessions. Thank you for letting me express how highly & blessed I am he is my psychiatrist!!
