I heard a lot of good things from my brother in-law about Dr. Voves and the Meadows Health and Wellness clinic and the things she does with her patients in being proactive, empathetic and responsive to your needs. I want to get myself in a better place of health, it is not terrible, but why wait until things are bad. I felt she listened to me well and we are talking a few other items also that will improve my overall health. We could talk and discuss things vs most Dr's just tell you what they want to tell you and off to the next patient. I really feel I found a Dr that will work with me, have an open mind and help me reach that next level of controlling my health and being proactive about it. Her office team Paige and Colleen are fantastic and complement the office very well with great attitudes, not rushing you and make you also feel warm and invited. I am just starting my journey with them, and my gut tells me that this is the right path! If you are looking for something nonmainstream then this is a great place to start and check out.

Not only did she remove my physical pain but my spirit felt lighter almost immediately! !

I had tried a lot of things to ease my troubles but I couldn't but nothing seemed to really work. So I called and made an appointment. From day one I was very comfortable with Anna. She is quite easy to talk to and connect with. Without getting into too much details (every person is different) I felt things start to shift for me, even in those first few sessions. Anna is a talented therapist that listened, asked poignant questions, and really helped me to step back and find the answers to my issues with me. She helped me stand up and fight back! I am forever grateful to her and her practice. She is awesome. I worked with Anna for about 3 years....and now that our sessions are done I feel like I have a huge array of tools to deal with anything that challenges me from here on out. THANK YOU ANNA!

P.S., I see that there are some critical reviews on here, and my guess is that it might reflect that Dr. Snyder works with some very complicated people....

After 4 months of sincere reflection, I have decided to make this review to warn others because I…read moredon't want any other innocent person, seeking support + healing in therapy, to instead end up harmed by Dr. Snyder in a similar way to what I experienced working with her. I worked with Rose for over 3 years + did meaningful healing work. She had taken her annual month off during the summer. At our second session after her long break, I was catching her up on several life updates. She decided one of the situations I shared was cause to report me to CPS. She asked me not a single clarifying question about this incident, but instead used time in that same session to talk about her family chaos + a deeply traumatic situation with her friend. The disclosure she made of her friend was about them being stabbed with scissors by their child and nearly dying. She told me nothing about what was done, support sought, or if the friend was even ok. I felt deeply sorry for her friend, but she shared this inappropriate (and frightening for me) story knowing I had a very significant trauma history that was closely aligned to this story. Even more problematic, Rose shared this while failing to ask me any questions about what I shared, that she wildly misunderstood. She then proceeded to institutionalize harm against my family with misinformation. A deeply unethical course of action according to every other mandated reporter + therapist I have now run this by. So in the therapy session after her extended work break she shares this traumatizing story with me that deeply frightens me + reopens some scary parallel trauma while in the background, she quickly moves forward + files an unwarranted CYA report to CPS against me within 24 hours of that session. She claims she submitted an extra addendum to CPS about what a good parent I was + all the efforts I was making to care + support my child. But who reports suspicion of harm while also knowing a child was not in any kind of danger? Had she asked me a single follow up question it would have absolutely clarified what she grossly misunderstood. In the past 4 months I have gone on a quest to find another mandated reporter who would have proceeded similarly, + I have yet to find one. Most folks I have talked to about this fallout were shocked + concerned about her deeply unethical choice of action + what she chose to disclose in that session. Most noted that she should have, + could have, clarified on that call to make certain her report was being made in good conscious + with clear understanding. Or she could have asked for a follow up session with me. She did none of those things. Therapists were in disbelief that she proceeded in the way that she did causing such unnecessary + irrevocable harm. This experience for me was one of betrayal, relational trauma + violation the likes of which I have never experienced by a trusted other. By lodging that report, I had to tell my child the very next day that someone might show up at school to interview them without me present (this is the standard CPS practice for school age children). Rose knew my child's profile well + how traumatic such an interview would be for her. She also knew my child was deeply loved, cared for, + supported in my home. + yet she chose to proceed anyway + risk traumatizing us (which she successfully did). The outcome of said meeting could have resulted in my child being taken from school, without me knowing where she was, + temporarily placed in foster care for 48 hours with a family she did not know, if CPS had any questions about her well-being or if they saw any bruise or anything that made them suspicious about her safety. The risk for serious + lifelong harm was set in motion by Rose's unbelievably misguided choice. This is standard CPS process + an ethical therapist should know the process, risks, + level of endangerment that is related to their actions. Rose ENDANGERED my family. My child has been having ongoing nightmares about the interview + being taken from our family. This is a direct result of Rose's unethical actions. CPS dropped the case after 2 weeks without even interviewing us. The whole purpose of that agency is to protect kids in danger + in reading the report they could clearly see that my child is not in any kind of danger. Rose knew that well which makes her choice all the more baffling. The report should never have been made. I was left traumatized, in shock, confused, hurting, with a kid panicking. Rose wouldn't respond to my emails, concerns or questions, + then within days sent me a boiler plate termination of service completely abandoning her care. It is antithetical to the core purpose of relational therapy. It is a deep harm I will probably be working to heal for the rest of my life. Protect your well-being, steer clear of Rose, + find another practitioner.

They are happy regularly receiving payments even if it's $30 one month and $50 the next. I was never ever badgered about my bill (that for a while kept getting larger). I think they understand that by seeking help you may not be in the best place in your life to make a full and complete payment right away. I couldn't be more thankful for their understanding and kindness as I slowly chipped away at my bill even after my sessions were finished. If you are looking at seeing anyone in the Poyama network, know that the office practices good and kind business. They should be proud.
