    My husband and I saw Corrine for two years while we lived in Portland. We stopped only because we…read moreleft the country! I have worked with several counselors in the past on my own, but working with Corrine was the best thing for us. She has an incredible amount of experience to draw on, and is very down to earth. My husband felt extremely comfortable with her as well which helped. She had the perfect balance of challenging us, supporting us, and encouraging us. We still use the tools and frameworks that she helped us learn. We also miss her dearly.

    Finally a counselor who is unafraid of psychologically damaging her clients, or scaring them away…read morefrom therapy for life! I appreciated the radical tactics of this counselor. She goes where others are too cowardly to go. Most would adhere to behaviors that *yawn* condone healing, or perhaps they simply follow the *snore* social work code of ethics. It is rare indeed to find a therapist willing to say "I don't have to treat clients with a single ounce of dignity or compassion!" Bongiovanni does not bother with such tedious conventions. If you want empathy, go find someone else. Expect to be blasted with unfair and unkind criticisms, and piles of misunderstandings. Don't expect to get a word in edgewise when she's ranting about what she mistakenly thought you said because what do YOU know. Definitely not a therapist for someone vulnerable, or in any kind of crisis. Not a good match for the therapy first timer. She is a wonderful challenge for folks who enjoy being treated like absolute shit when they're already struggling. Aw -don't be such a baby.

    Though I am not a client of Dr. Milliken's (I am a former employee), I do believe that I can…read morenevertheless speak to the high quality of work that she performs, and the utmost professionalism with which she carries it out. Dr. Milliken's passion is helping others help themselves, and she is incredibly effective at what she does. My work involved assisting with her program for at-risk youth in the justice system. Again and again former program participants would stop by to check in with Dr. Milliken, not because they were mandated to, but simply because they were proud of their growth and wanted to share it with the woman who gave them the skills to help them get there. Disengaged youth dropping by their psychologist's office on their free time? And of their own will? There is no better testament to the transformative power of Dr. Milliken's work.

    Morgan has been an extraordinary gift in my life. His steady, non-judgmental presence feels like a…read morefoundation I can truly rely on. He brings philosophical knowledge with many years of practical experience, creating a space that is both thoughtful and grounded. On a practical level, he has helped me separate my thoughts from my feelings and gain clarity about what I value most. The impact of our work together has been profound -- particularly in the way I communicate and show up in my relationships. His thought-provoking questions gently challenge my automatic assumptions, and his insights consistently feel both compassionate and deeply useful. Morgan also makes the practical side of therapy effortless. Scheduling, billing, and the online platform he uses have always been seamless and stress-free. As a therapist myself, I'm often asked for recommendations for friends and colleagues. I have referred some of my dearest friends to Morgan without hesitation, and I've seen firsthand how he has supported them through some of their most difficult moments, strengthened their relationships, and meaningfully changed their lives for the better. I never have to think twice about recommending him. I'm deeply grateful for our work together and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking meaningful, effective therapy.

What I find so unique and refreshing is that Morgan walks with me not from a distance but right beside me. I often feel that we are companions on a journey. Morgan listens with a compassionate heart, he response with wisdom and professional skill sets that guide me to a deeper understanding of myself and my dreams. He helps give clarity and affirms my gifts and creativity and guides me to align them with who I am and awakens me to what obstacles stand in the way. I felt at ease and comfortable with Morgan from the start. His calming spirit allows me to be vulnerable and free to share my fears, my uncertainties, my sexuality as a gay man, my joys and my dreams. I often think that Morgan believes in me more than I do which gives me strength and courage to move forward from past bullying, abuse and fears. The skill sets that he has taught; thought, emotion, sensation and behavior, to name a few , have taught me how to relate to myself and others in a healthier way. With my permission I appreciate how he incorporates guided meditations and mindfulness into our session when needed. Morgan guides me to empower my inner spirit to free my mind from societal and religious unhealthy conditioning. They say it's all in the journey and the steps along the way. Morgan has made my journey a little lighter. There are more steps on the path. I look forward to the adventure. I am grateful.

    RECOVERING ADDICTS BEWARE:…read more SaVida used to be a top notch place to receive help. However things have gone horribly wrong there and I feel the need to warn potential patients. They have lost 3 of my negative drug tests causeing my prescription to be stopped at the pharmacy. They would frequently forget to call my script in making me go sick. They have so many patients and so little staff frequently there is no one to answer the phone or help when the pharmacy doesnt have your prescription. They have a very high rate of turn over which means you will be repeating your entire recovery story more than once. They also because of 'policy" wont inform you when youre therapist is going to quit, you just come in and boom they are gone. They are a corporation. For profit, out of tennesee. They prioritize writing scripts over all else. The "counselors" will just push sri's and constantly circle your conversations back to meds, even if you say you dont want them. I have been attending for 2 years with no issues other than the above, there has been a change in leadership that unfortunately I could not see eye to eye on my goals and priorities once i retained full time employment, and decided to stop treatment. They did NOT help me taper THEY LET ME GO SICK. It has been an extremely traumatic experience that was very unfair, and I dont want to see this happen to anyone else who has fought so hard everyday. There are many other clinics that will work around your schedule and actually care about you as a patient.

    I've nearly 10 years of clean time and I highly recommend Savida to anyone struggling with…read moreaddiction. The people who work here are seriously the most kind and empathetic people you could ever hope for. They are extremely accommodating schedule wise and they always treat you like a human being (those in recovery get it) instead of just another "junkie". They have supported me in every way they could in my recovery and I couldn't be more grateful. If you need help look no further than here.
