This place has definitely been one of the better experiences I've had with counseling services…read more I've known I needed to get back into therapy for a while, but I was intimidated at the thought because I had some bad experiences in the past. I was referred to the center by a friend and I can't tell you what a relief it's been been. The staff are all really courteous and amazingly qualified. Booking appointments is easy. My therapist is super easy to talk to, and so knowledgeable. Therapy is so important to my mental health and this place is honestly a game changer. Couldn't recommend it enough.

I spent 48 days at River Oaks and I am forever grateful for the doctors and staff! They have…read morechanged my life in a way that I never thought possible. I feel like ME again.. I feel ALIVE again!! My therapist, Marlene, Dr. Camile Santarpio and psychiatrist Laylani went above and beyond! They gave me the life that I always dreamed of!! The therapists leading the groups by Olivia, Rob, Karah, Andrea, Bethany, and Shannon were so powerful and safe spaces.. and that helped me work through so much of my trauma. They also renewed my faith in doctors, one that had been killed by so many doctors in my past 22 years of chronic illness and chronic pain. The support staff, Laurel, Zella, Terry, Danielle, Taneisha, Haleigh, Tarjei and Thomas, always went above and beyond their call of duty to do whatever they could to help.. and I'm so grateful for them! Originally I was only going to stay for detox and I kept prolonging my stay because I could see and feel the difference it was making within me. I will forever speak their praises!! Currently 69 days sober and a lifetime to go!! p.s. so grateful for the housekeepers, Rosie and Milagros for being like my aunties throughout my stay. Also the cafeteria staff, Kiara and Karla for being amazing and taking care of dietary restrictions due to my ileostomy. They're amazing!! The campus is also in a beautiful location where you can enjoy the beautiful outdoors! I miss it everyday!

Went to river oaks twice about 4 years ago. Such a beautiful place to get better & the staff was…read moreincredible. There was only 2 people out of the entire staff I didn't care for.

I really liked Dr. Fickey. I liked her staff. But, I will be looking for a new practice Monday…read moremorning. After multiple unreturned calls, unanswered messages, and a very frustrated weekend dealing with some rather complicated medication side effects, I commented on a Facebook Advertisement posted by the Embracing Life office. They post dozens of these ads each month. My post wasn't unreasonable, or nasty. I just expressed my frustration and experience. This provider didn't attempt to communicate with me. I handled Facebook Advertising with a former company. Businesses can hide comments, and communicate via private message on sensitive matters and content. Instead, in very immature form, they blocked me on Facebook. The office is pristine. Their manner is kind. Their staff, very friendly. But that measure of disrespect on Social Media leads me to look elsewhere. They left me no vehicle by which to communicate with them. There is no option in their patient portal for a patient to send the provider a message, even though they have a message center which allows them to message me. Spend less time on advertising, and more time listening to your patients. I will be cancelling my Wednesday appointment Monday morning, unless I can find a way to do so in the portal today.

Then there is Natalie!! I can't begin to express how warm and caring this woman is! I have struggled with accepting and treating my diagnosis for many many years and she makes me feel so safe and supported on this new journey in my life. She is open and receptive to my feelings and listens to each concern or milestone and celebrates them all with me! Dr. Fickey, even though I haven't seen her as much as Dr. Natalie, is absolutely the sweetest person. You can see the standard of care just by walking in and interacting with just one staff member. I am so excited to finally be heard and feel hopeful for my mental health future for sure thanks to Embracing Life!!!

I would recommend Cory for anyone needing an experienced counselor that wants to help you work thru the pain and see the light of recovery. Cory is an amazing, passionate, caring and results driven individual.
