Recovery Allies is the best value we've used in our family's recovery journey. The staff works hard to communicate, assist & find the best treatment for each family. The staff uses the Arise model to improve dialog within families so that when your loved one is no longer requiring as high level of care, the families can discuss issues in a healthy fashion. Rachel's goal is to get us to a place where we don't need her anymore! Rachel stuck by us, & our "person of concern", as we navigated addiction treatment. We aren't out of the woods yet, but with Rachel, Chelsea, Ernest, Patrick & Katrina, we have found hope.

Recovery allies was a game changer for our family. The support offered by Rachel and her team was…read morebeyond what we could have imagined. The intentional planning and care that went into the process of helping our family member was evident throughout the entire process. The revised method of 'intervention' that Rachel uses is so loving and so different from what that process has always meant for a struggling individual. I can't speak highly enough of this company, if you have a struggling family member I highly recommend recovery allies as a means of support and help.

Ambience. A Service. A…read more PRO- My 1st time dealing with Endoscopy team. Lots of underground paid parking. Or paid street parking if you can find a space. Beautiful clean modern building. Love the looks inside, but you can get confused knowing where to go. Friendly information desk in lobby and has security and metal detector at front door. My check in was swift and easy as I did most of my Pre checkin online in My Chart! Takes a little getting used to the site... Everyone I dealt with from checking in, the initial nurse, anesthesiologist, doctor and team of nurses. Good communication for pre procedure as well as post procedure for colonoscopy. Staff took care of me until I was wheeled down to the car in the lobby area. I'm a FaN of Swedish today!!! CON - Albeit...getting appointments can be weeks to months. And getting someone on the phone or in the right group is always confusing and LONG wait times.

(You have to go with a friend or, you need a doctor's permission. The door closes at 6 and no one can return to the facility when my neighbor returned at 9 pm) The cook needs to be fired. Immediately. The shear number of "casseroles" made it seem like she wasn't even trying, just throwing together what she had. (Example; dry cubes of evidently economy cut chicken with some generic industrial "sweet and sour" sauce) So, ya, send someone here you hate.

Anchor Light Therapy is amazing! They provide a wonderful and welcoming environment that really…read moreallows you to relax and focus on you. I've been coming to Laura for a few months now and am extremely pleased with the progress that I've made on my journey to healing some deep wounds. I found their website and contacted Laura and was impressed with their seamless intake process and the ability to set up and get automated appointment reminders. They have been extremely flexible and have made it easy to adjust my appointments (which I had to do regularly because of the volatility of my job). They even offered remote sessions which I took advantage of when I traveled away from the Seattle area to work from a new location during COVID lock-downs. Communications with Anchor Light Therapy have always been pleasant, quick, and easy (e-mail, text, or phone). They have a beautiful space with comfortable furniture and a plethora of beverages options that makes it feel more like visiting a friend. Laura has provided caring, empathetic, and judgement-free insights into my problems (like the personal stumbling blocks that I put in my own way and negative self-talk) and helps me come to possible solutions (re-framing my perspective, accepting what cannot be changed, and recognizing why some parts of my life aren't affected but others are). After a session with Laura I look back and realize that my feelings are valid (no one should tell you what to feel - they are your feelings) and that helps me move past triggers with a little more grace each time I encounter them. BONUS: Anchor Light Therapy filed all the necessary paperwork to help me get back some money from the insurance company. I didn't have to do anything other than provide her with my insurance card. I started receiving checks in the mail because of their consistent upkeep with the paperwork filings for each session. I expected that I'd have to pay everything out of pocket and was prepared for that. Anchor Light Therapy truly is a blessing. I would highly recommend visiting Anchor Light Therapy and Laura. Thank you!

She guided me to look at my life from a new and fresh perspective. She is a fantastic life coach and hypnotherapist! You leave her office feeling relaxed and inspired to pursue your dreams.

I'm excited for what my future has in store for me!

I'll never forget when he told one of us to "shut up" while in couples counseling in March of 2018…read more In my years of experience with multiple counselors who had all been helpful for individual one-on-one therapy, Eric is the worst therapist I've ever met. Touting himself as LGBTQ-friendly, and belonging to the community, he quickly built a bias towards one of us and started blaming the other one. Whether stemmed in the blatant discrimination of all sorts that exist in the Seattle area or other motives, we never returned.

The benefits of counseling has been going on and off as needed for the past few years and its been incredibly helpful working with him. It's very easy to ask him for open appointments via email when times get stressful he is always there. After reading the other review on here I realized the time I started searching for counseling that I wanted a quick fix but unfortunately a counselor can't "fix" you in one session. It was hard and awkward to open up with a complete stranger at first but soon I was able to share my issues and get feedback and let go of things that held me back.

After searching through the first page of my "in network" providers, I quickly got tired at the prospect of sifting through 50 more pages. So, I did what any reasonable person would do when it comes to finding a doc...I closed my eyes, threw a dart and picked a name. On a serious note, Dr. Friedmann was voted best doc in 2002, so I figured like wine, you can only get better with age. I went in, he did his thing, and I walked out. Overall, a pretty painless experience (aside from the blood draw). He's a nice, warm, fuzzy guy. Two thumbs up.

I recently saw Dr. Friedmann at the Polyclinic in Ballard. I had been having severe intermittent…read moreleg pain that I couldn't relieve with any amount of Aleve, ice, heat, rest, etc. It was the strangest thing and I was hesitant to see a doctor because I could barely even describe the discomfort I was having and wasn't sure what help I would be able to get. Lucky me, I ended up getting an appointment with Dr. Friedmann. He took so much time and care to try to understand the issue I was having despite my inability to articulate it. He made sure to understand my overall health, activity levels, recent travels and all of the other outside factors that might be causing my pain. I have recently felt so rushed by all of the doctors I've seen but Dr. Friedmann made me feel like I was his only patient. While we never got to the root cause of my pain, he made sure to rule out any possibly dangerous causes and provided me with a prescription and treatment plans to try. Then the most amazing thing happened...I got an unsolicited phone call from him 2 days after my appointment to see how I was doing!!! I'm feeling much better now thanks to Dr. Friedmann. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in search of a smart, thoughtful and genuinely caring doctor.
