The Importance of Feeling Heard in Psychiatric Care

Many adults seek psychiatric care after feeling dismissed or rushed in prior experiences. Feeling heard is not an extra in mental health care. It is foundational.

Dr. Mark Chofla works with patients who value honesty and thoughtful feedback as part of psychiatric care. Careful listening helps clinicians understand not only symptoms, but context, history, and lived experience.

When people feel genuinely listened to, they are more likely to stay engaged in care over time.

One patient described their experience at Empathy Therapy this way:

“He was kind, professional, and really listened. Even online, I felt supported and understood.” – Patient on Healthgrades

Telepsychiatry does not have to feel distant or transactional. With time, focus, and respect, meaningful connection can still take place.
