DO NOT VISIT THIS "DOCTOR" I was only 12 years old when I went to visit her, I was suffering from delusions and mental unstable. I am 17 now and I realize that what she did was completely wrong. She refused to put me on actual mediation, instead, I took 24 different "supplements" a day, most of wich made me incredibly sick, and I couldn't even swallow them they were so vile. I tried to tell her this, but she didn't listen, nobody did. She put me on a gluten free/ dairy free diet, claiming that milk was the cause of my delusions, and that processed foods were to blame for my mental state. She also cut me off from all access to the outside world, shutting off my wifi, claiming that it caused me insomnia, her and my parents worked together to take me away from my freinds and the never let my leave the house. I was sick, depressed, alone, and they refused to listen to me. If you don't want to take medication for your illness, then that is fine, but this doctor doesn't believe in mental illness, she only believes in the evil processes goods of the world. There comes a point in time when you have to realize that mental ilness needs to be treated with medicine. If you have a cold, or cancer, you don't just start eating "healthy" and hope it goes away. You eat healthy and take medication and go through treatments. Dr. Sadler caused me lasting damage, I developed a terrible self harm addiction, and, surprisingly, the delusions didn't stop, I just hid them for years believing that something was wrong with me and that I was unhelpable. Years later I attempted suicide and was sent to a rehab center for 16 months where I was medicated and helped. I am 2 years clean from self harm and delusion free, and this woman had nothing to do with it. Do not send your child to this doctor.

Honestly, the least helpful person you'll ever meet.
I guess you'll have to find God cause she sure as well won't help you.
She once had a more conventional practice in Chapel Hill messing up people and has now hitched her wagon to the "wholistic" crowd.
Beware!!! Elderly snake-oil saleswoman. I need therapy to get over this therapist.

All I have to say is that after 9 years of horrible struggle with bipolar 1 with psychosis, is that I have my life back since seeing Dr. Sadler. I am married with four kids and I became a shell of myself prior to seeing Dr. Sadler. I am responsible for my own healing...but Dr. Sadler is an excellent guide. I was finally treated as a human with a story instead of an illness with no hope. I follow the diet she told me to go on and have been off all traditional psych meds for 9 months now. Now, it was hard in the beginning...super scary...but Dr. Sadler and my friends and family gave the support I needed. Oh, and God. He played a big part too (and still does!) I have my life back...and I'm just grateful. I'm glad there are psychiatrists out there like Dr. Sadler who are willing to take risks.

Compassionate and gifted guide to wholeness:
I knew something was wrong with me, but I didn't know what. I knew it was not multiple personality disorder, but it was clearly something dissociative. Before Dr. Sadler, I had visited 2 LPC's, 2 PhD's, and 1 MD Psych, with no definitive improvement. After 15 years of self-destructing several marriages, I had a mini-breakdown and my family doctor referred me to Dr. Sadler. On my first appointment, I gained the confidence that she could help me make sense of it all and help me find true mental health. In addition to regular appointments, I followed her recommendations for assistive therapies, and spent a lot of time doing deep, introspective work.
Dr. Sadler displayed an incredible and intuitive gift of helping me discover my path to wellness. If you are ready to do the work, you couldn't have a better guide.

I was referred to Dr. S via a company (TrueHope.com) I used to wean myself off psych drugs 8 years ago. I had stopped taking the supplements and had an episode recently. Dr. S uses these supplements and others to help balance the body. I love not being on psych drugs and Dr. S has many insights and will also help patients wean themselves off psych drugs or use different psych drugs in combo with supplements. She spent 2.5 hours with me my first visit. I felt she cared as opposed to other Doc I saw who would not see how well I had done not on medications. Dr. S is invested in a patient's overall HEALTH.

If you want to go the route of none pharma medication but STILL resolve psychosis/depression/mood disorders, this is the psychiatrist to see. It's not an easy path to wellness without psychotropic meds and it can take a while, but we are 3 months along, my son is no longer hearing voices or ready to jump, he is far more stable and actually HAPPY, yes, we have periods of HAPPY now. It is expensive for the supplements ($120-180 a month) but my goal is to get him well, not band aid his disorder until I can release him to adulthood at 18!

Dr. Sadler is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and courageous physicians I have ever met. She goes out of her way to accommodate patients and goes out of her way to protect their rights and health.

I would highly warn against this doctor. She really just doesn't believe in mental illness. I was warned not to go to her b/c a friend had a terrible experience but I had to try her myself since I desperately wanted to be less medicated. She tried to take me COMPLETELY off meds such that I was taking supplements 5 times a day and spending hundreds of dollars on natural methods. Tended to blame me (as she did my friend) on things not working. Claimed that Wi-Fi was causing weeks of insomnia (didn't recognize it as a symptom of a mental illness). Had me do a 6 week detox for adrenal fatigue that only made me weaker and more depleted. Sent me for expensive round of cranio-sacral work to help me relax. (She felt if I relaxed, things would work themselves out.) I so wanted to believe her that I put myself in a dangerous situation, trying to get healthy without the medications I now realize I needed. I went to see a more mainstream doctor a year after seeing her and am SO MUCH BETTER.
