When you call in, you get a receptionist who cannot forward any calls. This results in not getting answers immediately . Staff seems caring but there were many staff changes while my son was there, which resulted in many pages of treatment. The kids constantly complained about the quality of the food ..many meals wete inedible, so they are offered sandwiches as a substitute, which consistency of bread turkey and nothing else .nit the most tasty sandwich ..for the amount of money they charge for treatment, they could afford to hire a better chef .

My husband and I were looking for a Christian based counselor to help us get thru communication…read moreissues we we're having. Susie was a God send. We've done counseling before and enjoyed it, but Susie is another level of professional. I loved how structured each session was. Susie was always prepared to have us talk thru something, there was always a game plan! She would give us a practical tool to help us do so to where we were able to effectively say how we felt while the other person listened, and roles would switch. My husband and I have used these tools any time there's conflict. Susie modeled how to empathize with my spouse, which was helpful for me. I was able to vocalize what was upsetting me because she offered a safe space and asked me the important questions. We would keep going to Susie forever if we weren't moving out of California. Invest in your marriage, in yourself! Oh and I was even able to bring my 14 month old when I couldn't get someone to watch him. She had age appropriate toys for him to play with too - that was wonderful!!!

I've attended many seminars and trainings from well-known speakers and coaches over the years, but Tim's approach is different. It wasn't just coaching--it felt like real healing. He helped me look at my past failures, disappointments, and resentments from a completely new perspective. Instead of seeing them as burdens, he helped me realize they were actually part of what shaped me into the person I am today. For the first time, I felt genuine gratitude for experiences I had spent years wishing never happened. That shift alone was incredibly powerful. I left the session feeling lighter, more at peace, and more hopeful about the future. I'm genuinely excited for my next session and to continue this journey of growth and healing. Thank you, Tim, for helping me see that our greatest challenges can become our greatest gifts.

In fact, it was 3 years of therapy that, looking back, really on helped me in the first month to deal with the initial reason for seeking help. I which I would have known about Self Help back then and probably would've saved years of therapy that was going no where. From my very first session with Nancy, I felt there was real progress. I got insight to my learned behavior from past experiences and how that affected my reaction/connection to the world around me. Both my internal and external reactions continued to shape the present experiences that caused continued fear and guilt that was paralyzing. I wasn't myself. But with Nancy's guidance, I learned more about my internal processes and that understanding empowered me. Through each session and "homework assignments" I gained new confidence and regained control to bring about a positive behavior change that allows me to enjoy myself again. I also brought my adult son and my husband to these sessions and it has helped them as well. Also, although these sessions were not covered by my PPO insurance I was able to get reimbursed through my Healthcare spending account which is a huge plus. They are very punctual, professional, and responsive. Though sometimes they don't answer the phone right away, they usually respond within the hour when I leave a message. They are very clear about their no show policy at the first visit. They are respectful of your time and they expect respect for theirs as well. I've been to over a dozen sessions and never waited more than 5minutes for my appt. I've had to reschedule twice and never got charged a no show fee because I notified them at least 24hrs in advance. It is a professional practice for excellent self help therapy.

I never got a call back not even the day after. This place is extremely unprofessional & clearly does not care about their clients, just the money. A simple message saying they couldn't see me would've gone a long way. I was left alone and emotionally distressed. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
