From the owner: Much of my work has been with clients (women and men) who have experienced sexual abuse or some…read moreother form of sexual harm; though issues related to sexuality may or may not be the focus of treatment. I have worked with victims as well as perpetrators. I have also worked with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, issues of desire, issues of identity, and all kinds of personal and relational concerns. Whatever issues you are dealing with, my role is to pay attention to you and to invite you to do the same. You speak. I listen and learn your language--the language that is particular to you and your story. Therapy then becomes a safe place for you to speak up and be heard, for you to be known and challenged. I find that when a client and I simply focus together on paying attention, we consistently discover unexpected truth and beauty--particularly within the parts of themselves that were previously discounted. This sparks joy. You can rediscover friendship with the self you were made to be.

I have been a regular in Raina's yoga classes for many years. After doing yoga for over a decade…read more(and at numerous studios in both Michigan and Colorado), I can confidently say she is one of my absolute favorite teachers. I most appreciate how Raina thoughtfully explains and demonstrates poses in a way that helps me do them correctly while also honoring what my body needs most in the moment. With permission, she provides incredibly helpful adjustments, and I love how she shapes every flow to meet the mood and needs of her students in real time. I go to her for all the yogi needs: from mastering my very first headstand to restorative practices during life's high-stress moments. We can all use more Raina in our lives!

Once our license came through we worked with Deirdre who was very positive and supportive in helping us with our adoption. Three days later we were surprised with the placement of an infant that we fostered until he was 3 years old when we were able to adopt him. Manessa was very helpful in helping us to be successful with this adoption, as well. We appreciate all the staff that have helped us through the years, one way or another. We continue to foster, but we are so grateful to them for helping us meet our forever family.

They are…read morefriendly on the surface and many staff try very hard to be welcoming and warm but if you try to get actual information and help, they get defensive and hostile. For example, my mom waits for weeks or months at a time to get dental care, then she shows up and waits all day to be seen by the visiting dentist only to find out he or she didn't bring an xray machine or the necessary tools for the job, and she needs to be rescheduled. Its very frustrating. I know they try very hard and do offer some nice diversions for seniors (bingo, a good lunch), but they are not organized and don't take ownership of their many organizational bungles. Basically, my mom's just lucky if/ when she gets to see the nurse or dentist, it's hard to rely on anything.
