I participated in two of these programs with the hope of personal growth and learning. I also paid…read more$1,950 for a third program. However, due to my pending Green Card status and financial difficulties, I informed the organizers several months in advance that I would not be able to attend the class. Unfortunately, my overall experience fell far short of my expectations. In my opinion, some of the teachings were useful. However, a significant portion of the content closely resembled the teachings of well-known figures such as Tony Robbins, Dr. Holakouee, the Twelve-Step Program of Narcotics Anonymous, and other similar sources. At the same time, the fees charged to participants are extremely high, especially considering that many attendees are already facing financial, emotional, or psychological challenges. From my perspective, a considerable amount of workshop time is dedicated to promoting and encouraging enrollment in future programs. In addition, due to the limited number of participants outside Iran, many students living in the United States are required to attend online sessions according to Iran or Armenia time zones, often staying awake throughout the night. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the learning experience. Regarding the Armenia program, my understanding was that international participants were expected to bear the costs of travel, accommodation, and related expenses because the program was organized in a way that combined participants from Iran to reach the required enrollment numbers. There was no practical option for holding the program independently in the United States. I was also told that participants should learn how to travel alone. However, I did not find this argument convincing, since many international participants have already traveled extensively around the world. The real issue was the financial burden and logistical challenges, not the ability to travel independently. As for my personal situation, I clearly explained from the beginning that I was still waiting for my Green Card, and this was also reflected in my contract. I informed them that my participation in the Armenia program depended on receiving my Green Card and being legally able to travel. At that time, I was assured that the issue would likely be resolved before the program took place. Relying on those assurances, I signed the contract. Unfortunately, my Green Card has still not been issued, and I was therefore unable to attend the program. Despite my difficult financial circumstances, I paid $1,950 for the program but was ultimately unable to use the service for which I had registered. I was also a member of the A WOW WhatsApp group, for which I had paid as part of the program experience. After raising questions regarding financial matters and disputing the charge through my credit card company, I and several other participants were removed from the group. Although I was not particularly satisfied with the level of activity or support provided in that group, removing members simply for raising financial concerns was disappointing. My impression is that at the end of these workshops, when participants are emotionally affected by the program, physically exhausted, and sometimes sleep-deprived, significant efforts are made to encourage them to enroll in additional courses. In my opinion, important financial decisions should be made only after individuals have had sufficient time to reflect and evaluate their options carefully. I also observed certain behaviors and interactions during the workshops that, in my view, did not align with what I would expect from a mental health professional. I believe that ethical responsibility extends beyond simply respecting other people's property. In my view, when people invest their hope, trust, time, and money based on promises or expectations that do not materialize, real harm can occur, even if that harm cannot always be measured financially. Under such circumstances, I believe there is an ethical responsibility to provide compensation or a fair solution for those who have suffered losses. This review reflects only my personal experience and opinion. Others may have had a different experience. However, I was not satisfied with the outcome of this program and felt that the value I received did not justify the amount I paid. In the end, I leave this matter to conscience, justice, and time. I hope that everyone accepts responsibility for the consequences of their actions and decisions.

من در 2 دوره با امید به رشد شخصی و یادگیری شرکت کردم و مبلغ ۱۹۵۰ دلار پرداخت کردم برای دوره سوم ولی…read moreبدلیل شرایط نداشتن گرین کارت و مشکلات مالی از چند ماه قبل اعلام کردم که قادر به شرکت در کلاس نیستم. متأسفانه تجربه من با انتظاراتی که از این دوره داشتم فاصله زیادی داشت. به نظر من، بخشی از آموزش‌ها مفید بود، اما بخش قابل توجهی از مطالب، شباهت زیادی به آموزه‌های افراد شناخته‌شده‌ای مانند آنتونی رابینز، دکتر هلاکویی، برنامه دوازده قدم معتادان گمنام و سایر منابع مشابه داشت. در عین حال، هزینه‌ای که از شرکت‌کنندگان دریافت می‌شود بسیار سنگین است؛ به‌خصوص برای افرادی که اغلب در شرایط دشوار مالی، روحی یا عاطفی قرار دارند. از نگاه من، بخش قابل توجهی از زمان کارگاه صرف معرفی و تشویق افراد به ثبت‌نام در دوره‌های بعدی می‌شود. همچنین به دلیل تعداد محدود شرکت‌کنندگان خارج از ایران، برخی از دانشجویان مقیم آمریکا مجبور هستند کلاس‌های آنلاین را مطابق ساعت ایران یا ارمنستان، گاهی تا صبح بیدار بمانند که این موضوع کیفیت یادگیری را کاهش می‌دهد. در مورد دوره ارمنستان نیز برداشت من این بود که شرکت‌کنندگان خارج از ایران عملاً باید هزینه سفر، اقامت و سایر مخارج را متحمل شوند، زیرا دوره برای رسیدن به حد نصاب با شرکت‌کنندگان ایرانی برگزار می‌شود و گزینه مناسبی برای برگزاری مستقل در آمریکا وجود ندارد. در صورتی که اعلام می کنند شما باید یاد بگیرید تنها سفر کنید در حالی برای من این استدلال قانع‌کننده نبود، زیرا بسیاری از شرکت‌کنندگان خارج از ایران پیش از این نیز سفرهای بین‌المللی متعددی داشته‌اند و مسئله اصلی، هزینه‌ها و شرایط اجرایی دوره بود، نه توانایی سفر کردن به تنهایی. در مورد شخص خودم، از ابتدا توضیح داده بودم که هنوز در انتظار دریافت گرین کارت هستم و در قرارداد نیز این موضوع ذکر شده بود. همچنین اعلام کرده بودم که شرکت در دوره ارمنستان منوط به دریافت گرین کارت و امکان سفر من خواهد بود. در آن زمان به من اطمینان داده شد که تا زمان برگزاری دوره، این مشکل حل خواهد شد. من نیز با اعتماد به این صحبت‌ها قرارداد را امضا کردم. با این حال، گرین کارت من هنوز صادر نشده و امکان حضور در آن دوره برایم فراهم نشد. با وجود شرایط اقتصادی دشواری که داشتم، مبلغ ۱۹۵۰ دلار پرداخت کردم، اما نتوانستم از دوره‌ای که برای آن ثبت‌نام کرده بودم استفاده کنم . همچنین عضو گروه واتس‌اپ مربوط به A WOW بودم و هزینه آن را نیز پرداخت کرده بودم. پس از آنکه درباره مسائل مالی سؤال کردم و نسبت به پرداخت خود اعتراض (Dispute) ثبت کردم، من و چند نفر دیگر از گروه حذف شدیم. با وجود اینکه از فعالیت و حمایت موجود در آن گروه رضایت نداشتم، حذف اعضا به دلیل طرح پرسش‌های مالی برای من ناامیدکننده بود. احساس من این است که در پایان کارگاه‌ها، زمانی که شرکت‌کنندگان از نظر احساسی تحت تأثیر برنامه قرار گرفته‌اند، خسته هستند و گاهی با کمبود خواب مواجه‌اند، فضای قابل توجهی برای تشویق به ثبت‌نام در دوره‌های بعدی ایجاد می‌شود. از نظر من، در چنین شرایطی تصمیم‌گیری مالی مهم باید با فرصت کافی برای فکر کردن و بررسی انجام شود. همچنین برخی رفتارها و شیوه‌های برخوردی که در طول کارگاه مشاهده کردم، با انتظاری که از یک متخصص حوزه روان‌شناسی داشتم همخوانی نداشت. من معتقدم مسئولیت اخلاقی تنها به حفظ اموال دیگران محدود نمی‌شود. از نظر من، زمانی که امید، اعتماد، زمان یا سرمایه افراد در ازای وعده‌ها و انتظاراتی صرف شود که به نتیجه مورد انتظار نمی‌رسند، خسارتی واقعی به افراد وارد می‌شود؛ حتی اگر آن خسارت قابل اندازه‌گیری مالی نباشد و از نظر من، در چنین شرایطی مسئولیت اخلاقی جبران خسارت یا یافتن راه‌حلی منصفانه برای افرادی که متضرر شده‌اند، بر عهده برگزارکننده است. این نوشته صرفاً بیان تجربه شخصی و دیدگاه من است. ممکن است دیگران تجربه متفاوتی داشته باشند. با این حال، من از نتیجه‌ای که از این دوره و خدمات مرتبط با آن دریافت کردم رضایت نداشتم و احساس می‌کنم هزینه‌ای که پرداخت کردم با ارزشی که دریافت کردم متناسب نبود. در نهایت، این موضوع را به وجدان، عدالت الهی و گذر زمان می‌سپارم و امیدوارم هر فردی مسئولیت آثار اعمال و تصمیمات خود را بپذیرد.

It is a truly invaluable resource and it is provided at not cost (!amazing!), to anyone in the US who has a child struggling with substance abuse, self-harm, mental and emotional issues. It's the most generous thing I have ever encountered in the journey to find help for our son... and our family. The universe of therapy and treatment is so expensive and so hard to navigate, especially when you are in crisis. This group of parents, always lead compassionately by an Evolve therapist, has offered a safe, supportive space to connect with others who are navigating similar challenges. The facilitators are knowledgeable and caring, creating a comfortable environment for open and honest sharing. The group is a lifeline and has given me a sense of community and hope... it makes the dark journey we are on much more bearable, and makes me much better informed in the process. Thank you, Evolve!! Thank you for providing such a life-changing resource! I cannot recommend Evolve more highly.

She not only takes in and remembers what you share, but she is able to see the bigger picture of where you are and what you're experiencing. I found this to be very helpful because sometimes when your brain feels all over the place, having someone who can unravel the string to reflect where you're at can be so validating and helpful. Her style of therapy, along with EMDR, felt solution-based, which worked well for me. She'd ask if I wanted to talk or do EMDR, and regardless of which I chose, it felt like during each session we were able to focus on a specific challenge or wound and do healing work to understand where the pain was stemming from. I've had many therapists, and Michele is by far my favorite. I felt huge shifts and growth from my time working with her. It was noticeable in every aspect of my life. In other therapy sessions I've left feeling confused, like I didn't know what I'd accomplished. With Michele, I always knew what we were addressing during the session and it felt applicable to my life and healing. I highly recommend Michele, especially if you feel like you aren't getting anywhere with your current therapist, want to try EMDR (it's really incredible, but also tough), or are looking for a therapist who truly sees who you are.
