Aura R. Deschamps, Psy.D., HSPP

"Dr. Deschamps is by far without a doubt, the top medical professional that I have ever worked with in my life. Words cannot express how grateful I am that she began services with me promptly in my greatest time of need back in 2021. I did not have to jump from provider to provider—I was fortunate enough to have landed on this true professional on the first go-around. I began seeing her frequently and then ultimately less frequently, as her treatments are extremely effective. After 3 years of seeing Dr. Deschamps, I can truly say that she is consistent in her work, and can with ease recommend her to anybody that is considering if the services she provides fit their situation. She is holistic, approachable, relatable. All I can really say is that I am so thankful. I have come so far in my personal and professional life and I would not be this mentally strong had it not been for her intervention. I was scared of therapy at first, this was immediately put to rest by her easy-going demeanor. I know that Dr. Deschamps is a mental health advocate that I have for life. She is truly on your side, and wants to see you overcome your life’s obstacles, and provides a phenomenal perspective and insight. Thank you Dr. Deschamps!!!"

"I began seeing Dr. Deschamps last fall due to some academic issues in a graduate program in which I’m enrolled. At our first meeting, she suspected—and through subsequent testing confirmed—a diagnosis of ADHD. I’m in my early 30s. I saw a psychologist in my mid-20s over the course of several months for many of the same issues. This other therapist never even suggested the possibility of ADHD, while Dr. Deschamps identified the possibility on my first visit. However, in addition to arriving at the correct diagnosis immediately, Dr. Deschamps also worked with me to develop straightforward, easily implemented, and impactful strategies to deal with this condition. I came away from every session with a clear sense of what I should be working on. As a result, I’ve made significant progress in learning to live and to deal effectively with my disorder. Once it became clear to both Dr. Deschamps and me that I had arrived at a place where I was more in control of this condition, she suggested transitioning to sessions on an “as-needed” basis. It is clear that Dr. Deschamps’s primary goal is her patients’ growth toward well-being. I never felt there was a wasted session. I never felt like my treatment was going to be an interminable series of direction-less discussions. Dr. Deschamps is a caring, encouraging, and no-nonsense psychologist. I am so glad to have received treatment from her. Her work has literally changed my life for the better."

"My husband and I highly recommend Dr. Deschamps's services to anyone in need. Dr. Deschamps did a psychological evaluation for both of us as step in our international adoption. She went above and beyond to send us our reports in a timely manner, as well as making updates when needed. She is very knowledgeable, sympathetic, and professional. She is highly-regarded by other leaders in the psychiatric community. We cannot give enough praise to Dr. Deschamps!"

"I went to see Dr. Deschamps for some problems with my teenager. She was very diligent in assessing the problem and equipping with life skills. She was very easy to talk to, and provided invaluable guidance and direction to both myself and my daughter during some very difficult times. She was firm as she needed to be and yet sensitive to our needs- wonderful qualities in a therapist. I highly recommend Dr. Deschamps."

"long story short I don't recommend this psychologist to anyone, never will. I went to Aura Deschamps to get a personality test along with an IQ test. simple stuff, school psychologist give these to students every few years. It turns out the test was going to cost over 1,000$. My insurance was going to pay for it all so it was fine.... until they didn't. We only got half way through the process, I had taken her tests, now she needed time to asses the results and get back to me, that was when my insurance decided it didn't want to shell out. Well I didn't except her to do anything for me until I payed her so I figure we would move on, I payed 25$ for each of the sessions I had with her(3 in total) so I payed her for her time. But then she started sending harassing texts claiming that because we got halfway through the process I owed her half the money, she wanted 600$ for what we had already done or in her words the "services" she had provided. Which included her sitting and filling bubbles on a multiple choice sheet as I went through the IQ test, showing me black/white pictures and asking me what I thought of the picture, asking a lot of personal questions, and sitting in a chair as I did a reaction time test on her computer on my own. That's basically a full list of the "services" she provided and she wanted 600$ for it. She eventually threatened to go to collections and I didn't feel like contesting in court so I payed her what she felt she was owed. But at the end of the day, I came to her for information, I payed 600$ plus 25$ for each session and got absolutely nothing for it. No information, no feed back, no test results, nothing! I completely regret seeking her out. As for her personality when she spoke her words were very formal but her tone and body language felt like I was being judged, while taking the test she seemed very impatient, wanting to just go through the motions and get it done. I never felt like she was interested in doing a good job for me."
