- I struggled with severe anxiety and panic attacks for years and saw several doctors without finding real answers. Dr Thomas Dannhauser was exceptional. He diagnosed me with PTSD and referred me for EMDR therapy, which has significantly improved my condition after six months. His expertise, warmth, and reassurance gave me hope and confidence that recovery is possible. I am truly grateful for his outstanding care and highly recommend him.
- Didn’t find any of the sessions beneficial. Almost seemed like lots of guess work went into treatment. Additionally, always leaving the door open for you to return to charge more money. Not a great experience.
- I cannot thank Dr Dannhauser enough for his kindness and I am forever grateful for his expertise in helping me to navigate through my particular challenges with compassion and patience. I highly recommend this delightful doctor
- Dr Dannhauser was very helpful with my diagnosis and explained why I feel the way I do. He suggested that I try EMDR therapy, which I was hesitant about at first but I am very happy I tried it as it has made an incredible change in my life.
- Working with Doctor Dannhauser has been life changing! I sought help for ADHD however he uncovered other diagnoses that were not something I had considered. His recommendation of EMDR has helped me address trauma I had buried and I see a real difference in my day-to-day behaviour
- Doctor Thomas Dannhauser is always engaged, attentive, empathetic and professional in our meetings. He addresses problems and issues with calm and supportive nature, and had a wealth of experience managing ADHD. He is especially knowledgeable about policies and procedures.
- Dr Dannhauser has had the most positive impact to my adult life, having helped discuss, understand and help me manage my symptoms, as well as support me on an ongoing basis, without being pushy and remaining completely open and positive to all of my queries along the way.
- Dr Dannhauser has changed my life in a highly positive way. He really cares about my holistic wellbeing and happiness. I can't recommend him enough.
- After seeing multiple mental health professionals, over a few years with varying degrees of success, Dr Dannhauser was the only one who I felt got to the core the issues quickly, both physical & mental, that were affecting my health & under his care I live a fulfilling life.
