She's just fantastic!

When I first contacted Trevor, I was in the middle of a volatile divorce. A friend of mine urged me to call her saying that I just hadn't met the right therapist yet. I reached out during one of my lowest points. Trying to navigate through all of my emotions, I was feeling alone, scared and terrified. My initial contact with her was amazing! She was responsive immediately, calling right away and allowed me the time to explain where I was at and what prompted me to call her. She totally got it! I felt at ease from the moment that we spoke and that I was in the right place. My sessions over these years have been life altering. She has been there every step of the way. She is attentive, compassionate and kind. She genuinely cares. I'm grateful for this amazing soul therapist!

Life is sometimes not easy. Being a parent to children/young adult in need can be extremely…read morestressful. I am a parent of a beautiful child with needs. Her mental health has been tested by life. As a parent I only want the best for her in life as all parents do. Newport Academy is a G*d sent. I live in an area where kids mental health is on the down of the priority list. Another parent recommended I look into Newport Academy and I did. Newport Academy cares for our kids, their daily structure in educating, teaching them responsibility is top notch. They give our children/ young adult the tools to love and respect themselves. Their intensive therapy is superior to other behavior treatment facility I have researched. Newport Academy includes the parent in every step of the child treatment. Parent support is beyond exceptional. Once your child/ young adult goes to Newport Academy, you will be part of a supportive family forever. Newport Academy will be there for parents during and after treatment. If you are a parent in need of support and feel all hope is gone, Newport Academy will give you the hope and faith back. I am thankful to the people and program they offer. The continue support, caring they have shown. I, as a parent recommended Newport Academy without hesitation. Glad I found them, for I have hope once again thanks to Newport Academy.

Dr. Straun is a passionate and ethical psychiatrist who truly cares about the well being of his…read morepatients versus his bottom line. Dr. Straun was always accommodating for my needs, and truly helped me get my life back on track. He provided support for my recovery and also helped immensely with a legal issue by providing supporting documentation, which was one of the most pivotal supports ive ever had and ultimately allowed me to continue with my treatment and improve my life. THe entire team was very supportive and went out of their way on occasion to get me the help and support I needed. Most times dealing with larger clinics or facilities can be a pain, they are not as efficient or concerned as they should be, and this can be detrimental to a persons recovery. Dr. Straun's clinic was anything but that, and provided a deep sense of community where everyone was equally involved in group therapy sessions. I felt that Mr. Straun and his team not only developed a professional and clinical relationship with me, but also a personal one. This is what makes a good psychiatrist stand out, their relationship with their patients and how involved they truly are in their recovery or treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Straun to anyone seeking treatment for addiction or mental health, and that Dr. Straun will not just help you by prescribing medication ( like some doctors), but by also focusing on the underlying factors such as mental health or past trauma with a specific treatment plan. If you want to feel part of a larger community and support group, Dr. Straun and his team are the perfect choice to help you begin your treatment and find a way to recovery with people that truly care about your well-being.

He really worked with me when my insurance hadn't kicked in yet because his chef concern was me and my condition and not money. Currently, I live in NYC and even though Dr. Straun is not in this area, he still cared enough to follow up with me. He's the real deal.
