What our patients said about us in an anonymous Likert rating scale...

How pleased are you with the services you are receiving from Dr. Fortuchang & The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center? (Very Pleased, Pleased, Neutral, Displeased or Very Displeased)

  • "Very pleased.  Dr. Fortuchang was able to wean me off most of my stimulant medications.  She knows her stuff.  Also easy to talk to." 

  • "Very pleased.  Dr. Fortuchang worked together with our son's pediatrician and therapist.  She manages the whole person and the family."  
 
  • "Very pleased.  The level of compassion and relatability of Dr. Fortuchang make it easy to talk and express feelings.  Dr. Fortuchang is so approachable, she creates an environment where anything can be discussed honestly." 
 
  • "Very pleased.  She has really been a blessing in my life."  
 
  • "Very pleased.  Dr. Fortuchang's sessions are the perfect combination of Biblical truth and medical truth (which has been given to us by God!).  Dr. Fortuchang's sessions are grounded in the gospel truth.  Additionally,  she also does practices like CBT and prescribes medication if it is needed.  Sp many practices will do one or the other (either ignore God or say we can only be healed through prayer and there is no place for medication/other therapy techniques at all).  I am extremely thankful that Dr. Fortuchang does both, as both are necessary for healing!!!"  
 
  • "Very pleased.  Provided a new lens to view my life issues through."  
 
  • "Very pleased.  Dr. Fortuchang has my complete trust and confidence!  She, as a physician, addresses the physical, the soul and the spirit, the complete person and how each work together to make a whole.  Dr. Fortuchang encourages us to build up of spiritual defense through the word and confessing the word as she ministers medication and encourages therapy to heal the physical and the soul.  Three equals one in Christ!  Dr. Fortuchang is very professional, knowledgeable and caring in my treatment, I respect her as my physician and consider her a friend and sister in Jesus!  Outstanding!!"  
 
  • "Very pleased.  I feel very welcomed here and I feel like I can talk about everything without being judged."  
 
  • "Very pleased.  Dr. Fortuchang has been the most competent and understanding psychiatrist I've ever been treated by."  

Have you EVER left an appointment feeling discouraged by something you experienced at The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center? (Yes, No, Maybe)

  • "Maybe.  Sometimes I just didn't like what she had to say.  She was right though every time.  I didn't want to face my realities."

  • "Yes.  Since Dr. Fortuchang also does psychotherapy even if she is just managing your meds, sometimes you don't want to hear or face your reality.  My son would get annoyed when forced to face some things.  It was always constructive."
 
  • "No.  We've always left with a feeling of hope; left feeling lighter."
 
  • "No.  I leave the office feeling spiritually refilled and refreshed by The Holy Spirit."
 
  • "Maybe.  There have been a few times that I didn't fee like I was being listened to enough/the growth I had made was acknowledged.  However, that might have just been the fact that I was in denial of how much help I needed, and Dr. Fortuchang was giving me some tough love!  Regardless, those feelings are definitely not typical of my overall experience."
 
  • "No.  I have not left discouraged."
 
  • "No.  I always leave with a spirit of hope for a better future, confidence for complete healing, which ushers in joy and peace!  The Word of God covers "every room," the Word is alive and active doing it's work with in each heart as Dr. Fortuchang ministers to the physical being."

How does Dr. Fortuchang's unique style of practicing psychiatry at The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center compare to that of other psychiatrists (or therapists) you have seen? (Much More Effective, More Effective, Somewhat More Effective, About The Same, Somewhat Less Effective, Less Effective, Much Less Effective)

  • "Much more effective.  Good therapists are hard to find.  The only psychiatrists I could find previously did not talk to me they just wrote prescriptions.  They were not interested in the whole me."  

  • "Much more effective.  She is not just interested in medicating you.  She is interested in healing you."
 
  • "Much more effective.  She's just more approachable." 
 
  • "Much more effective.  Because o am a Christian being able to reference the Bible in my treatment is extremely helpful and important for me."
 
  • "More effective.  I have not seen any other therapists, but from what I have heard about other practices, Dr. Fortuchang's practice seems to be very effective in comparison." 
 
  • "More effective.  This is my first experience working with a Psychiatrist.  I appreciate Dr. Fortuchang's directness and focus on seeing TRUTH, not lies.  I appreciate her conservative approach in the use of medication."
 
  • "Much more effective.  Her super strong faith is inspiring & contagious, & taught me to speak God's truth & power over fear.  God used this as a large part of helping me overcome panic disorder. "
 
  • "Much more effective.  Medical Knowledge, wisdom, accompanied with godly compassion, knowledge & wisdom, transcends the everyday psychiatric treatment.  Using the Word as another layer of education to the heart of a person reaches the core need while medicine and therapy helps the physical/mental."
 
  • "More effective.  I have never been to another psychiatrist."
 
  • "Much more effective."
 
  • "More effective.  She was not judgmental as others have been.  Also using my faith in therapy was important for me and others had not been able to meet me on that level."

Please share a brief testimonial about your experience at The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center:

  • "We found Dr. Fortuchang after SEARCHING for someone to take over medications from our pediatrician.  This was our pediatrician's recommendation.  Dr. Fortuchang was very professional and managed treatment from a medical, psychological and spiritual level.  Since she does not accept insurance, she was able to eventually wean our son onto minimal medications and transition him back to his pediatrician.  She also recommended other Christian Therapists." Patient for more than 4 years.

  • "Because I am a Christian being able to reference the Bible in my treatment is extremely helpful and important for me.  Fear does not have a grip on my life like it did in the past and I am thankful for the help of Dr. Fortuchang in helping me realize I am a child of God and I am worthy of his love and mercy." Patient for 1-3 years.
 
  • "As I worked with Dr. Fortuchang in partnership with my counselor I was empowered with new perspectives to view my life and the changes I needed help with." Patient for 1-3 years.
 
  • "I am so so so grateful to find a psychiatrist like Dr. Fort-- medically excellent, loving, & overflowing with faith in God's power to heal & restore.  Her super strong faith is inspiring & contagious, & taught me to speak God's truth & power over fear.  God used this as a large part of helping me overcome panic disorder.  After experiencing a life-altering disability, from no where came crushing symptoms of panic.  The only was I could temporarily calm them was to isolate & watch TV...& soon I was trapped at home by fear of a full blown panic attack.  I thought my life was over...until God led me to Dr. Fort.  Now that I am doing so much better & back to feeling normal (which I never thought possible), meditating on God's truths & using them to fight negative lies in any situation, is still an essential part of living more abundantly & victoriously than I ever did in the past!  All praise to God!!! & thank you Dr. Fort!!" Patient for over 5 years.
  '
  • "September, 2019 was a full year of treatment with Dr. Fortuchang.  After the first visit, I knew that I found my Dr.!  Dr. Fortuchang's spirit and my spirit identified!  The medical care that I have received along with follow up is personal to meet need and my comfort.  The Anxiety and depression is 90% better!  I have more peace and contentment following Dr. Fortuchang's plan of action through medicine, prayer, time in the Word and trusting God and His Word.  Trusting God!!  Though I may fall, I get back up!  I now have joy & peace!  Thank you Dr. Fortuchang!  I prayed for a Christian psychiatrist for years!  Dr. Fortuchang is an answered prayer!" Patient for over 1-3 years.
 
  • "I have seen Dr. Fortuchang personally and my daughter has also been her patient.  Speaking from a parent's perspective, I am grateful for Dr. Fortuchang and the care she has shown my daughter.  When my daughter first started seeing her, I was scared and felt like I was losing her.  After counseling and medication, I feel like I have my sweet, vibrant, ambitious daughter back.  Thank You!" Patient for more than 3 years.
​
  • "I came to The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center more than 5 years ago and was surprised and delighted to find that there was a psychiatrist who loves The Lord even existed.  I have worked with Dr. Fortuchang to finally pin down my diagnosis of Bipolar type II and find the best effective treatment after years of working with other doctors and medicines that would work temporarily and then fail over time.  However, treatment with Dr. Fortuchang goes beyond medicine, but also teaching and equipping me with Biblical and spiritual tools  to combat the highs and lows by standing in my identity as a daughter of the Most High King.  Recognizing that I am not my diagnosis, but I am loved by Jesus and he wants me to live a full like free from guilt, shame and pain has truly been revolutionary for me." Patient for more than 5 years.

  • "I just had another groundbreaking session with Dr. Fort. God keeps using her to speak to me and reveal how the devil is trying to keep me deceived and in bondage to fear and anxiety. The truth is, God has brought me so far since I first found Dr. Fort, that I never have to fear being in bondage to panic disorder and agoraphobia again. I cannot thank God enough for someone like Dr. Fort, who knows the best medical treatments and how to couple of them with Christian counseling and the power of God. My battle with anxiety and panic disorder has required courage and lots of quiet time – but God has been faithful!! and grown my trust and dependence on Him tremendously through this, giving me victory after victory through the guidance of Dr. Fort.  I wish I could tape record what Dr. Fort says in my sessions – for it’s often like a mini sermon of empowering truth – tailored just for where I’m at. For anyone dealing with similar issues, I’m constantly recommending Dr. Fort, to whom I’ll be forever grateful."   Patient for more than 5 years.

The Prayer of Salvation
The Bible says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8  That's the gift of salvation—the greatest gift of all!
How do we receive this gift? Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." When we surrender our lives to Him, the result is peace, freedom from condemnation, joy, hope, and connection with God for eternity!

If you've never accepted the love and forgiveness that Jesus has to offer, there's no better time than now. I'm not talking about becoming religious and trying to be good enough; I'm talking about having a relationship with the Creator of the universe through His Son, Jesus Christ. It's so simple. 
Just pray this prayer from your heart: 
​"
Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and I need a savior. I believe You are the Son of God, that You died, paying the price for my sins, and rose again. I ask You to come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior."
