The fact that it is in a boxing gym was at first daunting, but I quickly enjoyed the hustle and bustle. Ashley is an outstanding Physical therapist who very quickly helped me get rid of great referred pain in my shoulder and neck and arm. I have become stronger and the pain has greatly lessened. I have surgery scheduled for next week, so I hope to come back for out-patient PT in a few weeks. I'm a very satisfied patient.

I've called for two days and emailed them but never heard back. I would not recommend going here if you are bothered by noise or crowds, because this place is in a boxing gym.

I have been hoping to write a review on Freedom Within Therapy and Wellness Center for a long time…read morebut something inside has held me back. I've not made it a secret to friends and even on my YouTube channel that I have been undergoing therapy - as of now for around a year and a half for PTSD. I was very grateful that Freedom Within took me in when its schedules were full. In the past, I had been one to talk down therapies, though I've always had good relationships with the mental health professionals I often worked with when I was a military chaplain. That is, I thought it was good for others, but I was ok. However, over time I wasn't and it came my time to get the support I needed when my own resilience was falling apart. I did have some ideas of what to expect because I have worked in psych wards in the past, but there were some surprises along the way too. Having said that, Freedom Within offers a wide variety of support in the areas of trauma, anxiety, PTSD, grief support (including groups), among other counseling areas. For me personally, my therapist has been outstanding. The care and counseling support for this difficult time in my life has helped build be back up in many ways in things that used to come natural to me. It's good that I have been taught constructive ways to manage my condition to help better navigate a healthier path for me. It's progressing - but the exceptional work of my therapist has been right for me when I needed it most. Though I have been with the same therapist over the last year, I have still met most of the others having been a patient for a significant period of time. They are all highly professional, courteous, caring, make you feel welcome, and, on a basic level, just make you feel good. I don't know if Freedom Within is a best kept secret, but a recent renovation and expansion of the office area has brought added space and new offices, as well as new therapists on board. They are also certified by Tricare to receive military members, active and retired. I have greatly benefitted from this, and still do under VA care. Well, what I thought would be a difficult review to write wasn't too hard after all. I do hope readers will benefit from this write-up and mostly reach out for support from great organizations like this when they need specialized care of the nature that Freedom Within offers. I'm so glad I did. Recommend: HIGHEST

If you are thinking about reaching out to Aly at New Wave consider this your sign to DO IT…read moreIMMEDIATELY! It will be the best decision you make for yourself and your new family. From the earliest days of postpartum, Aly met me with kindness, calm, and such deep knowledge that I instantly felt supported and safe. She gently taught me the intricacies of breastfeeding and lactation, helped me understand my newborn in ways that felt empowering instead of overwhelming, and somehow always knew what I needed before I even had to ask. She cared for my baby overnight on several occasions so I could actually rest, but we spent a lot of our time together during the day when she cooked meals, helped keep my space together, and made those foggy early weeks feel manageable and human. But what makes Aly so special is that she never just cared for my son--she cared for me. She encouraged me to take showers, watched the baby while I squeezed in a workout once the time felt right for my body, and slowly helped guide me back to feeling like myself again. Her support was lighthearted and warm, yet deeply grounding. She brought peace into our home during such a tender, vulnerable season, and I will forever be grateful for the way she showed up for our family. Aly is a gift, and anyone lucky enough to have her as their doula is truly in the best hands.

I am a true believer of postpartum doula care after working with Aly and her team! As a first time…read moreparent, I was really nervous about raising a baby and the toll postpartum takes on a new mom. The care I received from Aly's team made a HUGE difference in my experience. We worked with Aly, Naomi, Ledale, and Tori - who provided night support for 6 weeks. I couldn't recommend them enough. Everyone was focused on both newborn education and the mental/physical wellbeing of parents. It was so nice to have someone to talk to about my baby - what her personality is like, care goals to work on, and just providing humor to the whole experience. Naomi, our primary doula, went above and beyond at this and I was sad to see her go after our 6 weeks was up. I wish everyone could have this type of support postpartum because it made the newborn trenches so much better.
