After 20+ years of dealing with mental illness, I had the worst, most deeply traumatic breakdown of my life, and had no access to medication or therapeutic resources. Although I was not her patient, in one emergency weekend Skype session, it is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Brame literally saved my life, both short- and long-term. She helped me move past immediate suicidal impulses inside an hour, and provided impetus for me to find other, local resources to manage the situation going forward. I am not completely recovered, nor do I ever expect to be, but I am alive and back to accomplishing things with my life, neither of which would be true without her involvement.
