Aspire has been providing intensive outpatient services for my teenage daughter for the past month…read moreor so throughout the covid outbreak. My daughter has been involved in counseling for much of her young life, and for the last several years, utilizing the more intense and focused services the Central Coast has to offer-with little success. Somewhat exasperated with the process and cynical to the list of promises I perceived as a sales pitch, I found myself far more direct then I usually am, with pointed questions and detailed concerns. I was impressed with the professional attitude maintained throughout my questioning and surprisingly impressed with the answers. They have kept every promise they made to us during that initial interview. The staff are invested in each of the clients, and groups are kept small to ensure everyone gets individual time. The activities are varied, age appropriate, and something a teenager would actually be interested in. Administration has gone above and beyond to work with insurance to ensure my daughter leaves when she is ready not just when the money runs out.

After more than a decade with someone, it can be difficult to get to the heart of the matter, since there seem to be so many layers of meaning and frustration built up over the years. Susan has a no-nonsense, but nuanced and understanding, style of communication that carries the weight of her many years of experience. While I'm still processing my divorce, I know that a large part of successfully transitioning through a difficult period of your life is in your ability to, not just reach out for help, but to persist in finding the right kind of communicator to "click" with. For me, Susan was/is that person.
