  Dr. Marie Akers has been a wonderful provider for our family. She took the time to listen carefully to our concerns and made both us and our child feel comfortable, respected, and understood. Her experience with children and adolescents was evident in the way she communicated and explained her recommendations. We never felt rushed, and we left the appointment with a clear plan and renewed hope. We are very grateful to have found SHIELD Psychiatry and would highly recommend Dr. Marie to other families seeking compassionate and knowledgeable mental health care.

  From the very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Marie Akers took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and develop a treatment plan that made sense for my child and our family. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and never made us feel rushed. We appreciated her thorough evaluation and how she involved us in every step of the process. It was reassuring to find a provider who truly understands children, adolescents, and young adults. The scheduling process was smooth, communication was excellent, and the telehealth appointments were convenient while still feeling personal and professional. If you’re looking for a child and adolescent psychiatric provider who combines clinical expertise with kindness and compassion, I highly recommend SHIELD Psychiatry. We are grateful for the care we have received.

  As a working professional and a mother of two, the convenience of concierge care has become invaluable. Having access to that level of convenience without compromising on quality is worth every penny. It gives me peace of mind knowing my family receives exceptional care on a schedule that works for us. Dr. Akers is the consummate professional—knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly responsive. I have complete confidence in her care and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for personalized, high-quality healthcare, she’s an easy 10/10 recommendation.
