Dr. Prescod is absolutely amazing at what he does. I hoped to gain someone that could help me navigate my issues with the psychological methods and practices learned through their years of education and practice. I also desired a counselor s that understood the cultural significance of my issues. He is a consummate professional, checks in at least once weekly and replies to my messages immediately! He reminds me often that he is here to help me navigate. When he responds to my issues, he not only assures me that he is there, but he also provides practices, skills for me to work through my issues. Dr. Prescod is the BEST there is!

You can tell Dr. Prescod really cares. He checked in with me between sessions when he knew I might be triggered by current events. He is open-minded and eager to learn about AND from you. He challenged me without pushing too far. Dr. Prescod helped me understand how traumatic experiences of all kinds can affect a person, how certain events might more intensely affect me because of who and I am what I’ve been through, and taught me coping mechanisms to deal with those effects.
