What a great group! From the second you walk in you already feel calmer. Every person goes out of their way to ask you questions and make you feel heard, appreciated, and respected. Your opinions matter, what you're going through matters, and your understanding of what's happening with your body and mental health matters. They don't just tell you what you need to work on, but go out of their way to give you the tools to fight for yourself and your mental health. Highly recommend!

I had a dear family member get therapy here. I must say, I am so elated because my family member had had so many issues for years--and had been to a few hospitals in the area. Finally, they found this clinic and did emdr therapy and some other counseling and they are so much better now and we get get enjoy our family member again! Thank you all!!!!!

I had a consultation scheduled, and I ended up needing to reschedule it. It was with Billie Walters. I contacted her about rescheduling and the cost of the appointment. She replied, and I responded back with a clarifying question and preferred consultation date. Billie never answered my question nor did she ever confirm the date of my consultation, and it's been 13 days.

Dr. Cain has helped both my son and I in ways I never imagined. If you have given up hope on traditional treatments I recommend seeing the best healer I have found, Dr.Cain. Weve combined her expertise with Joshua Naves behavioral health services for my 6 year old with great success. My family is healthier and happier with the help of these amazing practitioners.
