It is SO unnecessary and not good for anyone, especially me. I recognize this horrible flaw and want to fix it. I have PTSD from a violent childhood so I can be very reactive. Mostly, I'm a kind person, but when certain buttons get pushed I get very aggressive. This man is actually helping me! I've been to therapists in the past and still carry that horrible legacy. I have NOT ONCE had this problem since I've been seeing him! He is kind, and effective. I also am seeing him with my daughter for effective conflict resolution. He was AMAZING! We both are going to see him together a few more times so we establish better communication with each other, we were both incredibly impressed by how sweetly he handled each of us. This man is a godsend.

I came across Linny when I was a sophomore in college, and she is the absolute best. I started…read moregoing to her because of my anxiety, but she did more than just help me with that. I went to her for the rest of college, and she has helped me through all of it. You can just tell that she truly cares about her clients and makes it known that she is always there to talk no matter what. She knows exactly what to say to any situation and gives the best advice.

I came across Lindsay while looking for assistance while going through a career transition. After…read moreinterviewing several other qualified candidates, what stood out to me most about Lindsay was her authenticity. She is such an active listener and has a natural ability to make you feel heard. Her approach allows you to process your own words in a powerfully reflective way and, coupled with her guidance and insight, allows you to see problems you didn't realize existed and help you overcome them. We worked together on a regular basis through my career transition, from the plan-development phase and continuously through the transition process, and Lindsay's support and coaching was paramount to the success of this process! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for career transitions, coaching, therapy, and thought collaboration!

Initial impression of the office was it looks like it was just opened up. It's in a building that…read morelooks like a really old motel or apartment complex that was just renovated. The office looked disheveled and Betty, the front desk lady, as nice as she was, appeared disorganized or overworked as she was the only employee. After saying that, Dr. Robbins was very soft spoken and kind. And more importantly, our mother LOVED her. Dr. Robbins made some key observations and smart recommendations and referrals. This was just our first appointment, but we are very positive and hopeful.

In May 2024, I was placed on a 72-hour hold at The Guidance Center's PAC unit. During that brief…read morestay, my civil rights were violated. I was physically restrained while calmly sitting on the floor, holding my service dog. I was not aggressive or disruptive--I was asking that my dog be kept safe. My rights as a service animal handler were ignored. Despite clear signs of tachycardia and chest pain radiating into my jaw, I was denied medical care inside a licensed facility. These experiences, along with others I won't detail here, led me to file multiple legal complaints. I'm not seeking money--I'm seeking change. As a peer and person with serious mental illness, I tried to work with TGC on solutions--trauma-informed care, improved training, and meaningful inclusion of peer voices. I was shut out. For now, I've chosen to pause additional complaints, hoping for change instead of escalation. What I'm asking for is simple: Evidence-based suicide assessment training Trauma-informed care across all services De-escalation training for inpatient staff Peer and family inclusion in policy and planning Those of us receiving services deserve to be heard. We live the reality. Our voices matter. This isn't about blame--it's about doing better. I'm not hiding. I'll keep telling my story until change comes.

I just went to see Brooke Edwards, who gave me the BEST massage I have ever had in my life (which…read moreis lots)! She takes an ample amount of time with you assessing your needs before the massage even begins. She finds spots that no one else has ever found. Actually, her work can be very focused- she helped my husband with chronic pain that he has been dealing with for years. Plus, you spend at least 60 full minutes on the table, sometimes more! Her therapies are extremely nurturing and full of compassion- she really, really cares. Brooke not only gives an amazing massage, she also provides energywork if needed or requested. In addition, she has a psychology background, and utilizes it throughout her sessions, if you are up for it. I feel extremely grateful to be able to see her, and feel her work is an absolute gift of love. I will never go see another therapist as long as Brooke is available!

The dosing nurse takes it upon herself to be the boss of you, they take advantage of your vulnerable state by telling lies about SAMHSA and federal guidelines to make you think you have no choice but to abide by their rules. The HNP that does the prescribing will make you feel uncomfortable, especially if you are a woman. He made me feel weird by asking about my "bowel movements" in spite of that information having no bearing or relevance. You might think well a doctor asking about your BMs shouldn't come off as creepy and yeah, you're right, it shouldn't. Sean Mullen's reputation as an HNP is "Creep". Go anywhere else but here. You DO have a choice and there are places that will actually HELP you. One of the best choices I ever made was firing these blowhards.
