Unfortunately, my experience with this practice was disappointing. I felt that the business owner…read morehandled interactions with me in a way that came across as personal and unprofessional. Instead of maintaining appropriate boundaries and focusing on client care, their responses felt influenced by unrelated or petty matters, which left me feeling uncomfortable and unsupported. I hope the practice reflects on these concerns and improves communication, professionalism, and overall client experience moving forward.

I have known Sean for 12 years now. He started out as my son's therapist and our family therapist…read morewhen my son had to be placed into a residential facility. He has Autism, Epilepsy and Schizophrenia. Once our son discharged from that facility we followed Sean when he opened his business. He continued to be our son's therapist for a few years. When it came time for me to need a therapist, Sean took me on as his client. I was so thankful as I knew I was about to enter one of the most painful and trying times of my entire life. With Sean knowing me and my family personally, I was already comfortable with him and also had gained that therapeutic relationship with him. Now we could build on that. I was correct about this season in my life being the roughest, most painful and trying times I have ever faced. Sean has been a constant and consistent person in my life. He is patient, caring, kind and his insight is out of this world. I have come a long way and I know I have a long way to go. Sean walking beside me through this really does help. It is also a huge comfort to me. I have seen 3 therapists in my life and by far, Sean is the best one. He really does "get" me and has helped me up till now so much and I know he will continue to do so. I definitely recommend him!

In raising two children with severe mental health challenges, we've worked with many good…read moretherapists. Sean is at the top of the list. When we first met Sean, our son's world was a cross between the movies "A Beautiful Mind" (about a schizophrenic who hallucinates terrifying things) and Sixth Sense (a boy who sees dead people and the horrific ways in which they died). After six months of therapy and some medication changes, our son is amazed at how peaceful he feels when there is nothing going on in his head besides his own thoughts. We highly recommend Sean Martiny at Avani Counseling!

I'm not bitter I just want others to be informed that something is going on behind the vail. She called me nefarious. (Evil). That is not healthy or professional. We never even got to EMDR - I very reason I came in to see her. She badmouthed other therapist and it just didn't sit well with me. I'm now with a great therapist and working on healing.

Lighthouse recovery is as good as it gets! Foremost, every member of the staff loves what they do…read moreand they really care about the people they treat. The founder and clinical director Nate Lanthrum has poured his heart and soul into Lighthouse. Essentially, Nate customizes a plan for you, based on your goals and needs. He combines the most successful components of various addiction recovery techniques (including the most current treatment modalities) and has made something original. He's deeply intelligent, humble and he brings a great sense of humor into the recovery process. One of the most intimidating parts of entering a recovery program is the admissions. Marty handles the intake process for new clients and makes the process as easy as humanly possible. Marty's basic philosophy is "we will do everything in our power to work with you and get you the help you need." Lighthouse doesn't turn people away who can't afford the program because they actually care about people. If you have insurance then Marty handles that aspect for you and gets you enrolled. Lighthouse offers medication assisted treatment. Their on staff physician is Dr Steve Holtsford. He is incredibly down to earth, intelligent, and caring. I have not had such a pleasant experience with a doctor in ages. He is really thorough yet expeditious. You never feel hurried during your time with him. He encourages you to be gentle with yourself when you need medication, and he is more than willing to assist you in your goals of tapering off medications. Lighthouse is a world class institution. If you need help, if someone you love needs help, give them a call. Asking Lighthouse for help might be the best thing you ever do for yourself or someone close to you.

My fiancé and I were required to take a pre-marital workshop held by Centennial Counseling Center…read moreby my church, Baker Memorial Methodist Church. It's a $135 class that runs from 8:30am-2pm on a Saturday, with the last two hours of the class devoted to finance. Needless to say, we weren't too excited about spending our day off in a church basement being told how to talk to each other. Surprisingly, Mark Ramirez, the counselor running the class, had some pretty good insight into our personalities after reviewing the Mejer/Jung typology test we were required to complete before attending. We'd be given 30 minute periods where each couple would go off on their own to discuss results from the test & our thoughts on them. I found the class to be helpful in that it gives couples the opportunity to realize the importance of effective communication. Along with the workshop fee is a complimentary follow up session also.

It is impossible to put into words the gratitude that I feel for Maria Rago and her team at Rago &…read moreAssociates. Maria, Lisa, Josie, and the rest of this team of extraordinary clinicians saved my life - I wouldn't be here today without them. When I started working with Rago & Associates, I was at the end of my rope. My eating disorder had plagued me for years, growing stronger and more powerful despite the work I'd put in with other therapists and dietitians. When I met Maria I was stripped of all hope, and I felt that no matter what I did I would never experience healing or recovery. Maria met me exactly where I was at with compassion, love, and genuine hope for my future. She cried with me, held my hand, and assured me that I was deserving of health and happiness - and that she would fight alongside me tooth and nail until we achieved that, no matter what. She created a treatment plan tailored to my needs and invited my loved ones into the recovery process by providing accessible tools, resources, and space to feel heard and supported with all that they were carrying. She guided my family and me through the ups and downs of recovery - utilizing her experience in everything from outpatient to residential settings - with a keen understanding of what I needed and how to get me to agree to it (no small feat). Maria invited other exceptional clinicians from her team to join in my recovery process, including other therapists, a psychiatrist, and a dietician. Each brought their own unique way of connecting with me and discovering who I was, who I wanted to be, and how we were going to get there together. Through it all, Maria remained firmly planted in my corner, my biggest advocate and supporter, her belief in me unwavering. I cannot overstate how much it meant to have this team of people who refused to give up on me. Every time I fell, I had an interconnected web of people ready to catch me and help me back onto my feet. When I felt like I had nothing left, they showed me how much more fight there was inside of me. Eating disorders flourish in the dark, but this team of people shines with a radiant light. I am forever grateful to them for guiding me down the path to true and full recovery.
