I attended the adolescent PHP program for about 3 weeks earlier this year. I was severely…read moremalnourished but this was the only place I was able to get into due to insurance. During my intake, they sent me straight to the ER. When I came back they said that they wouldn't do anything for me but I could stay under their care until I got into a residential facility, even though they wouldn't help me?. The medical rooms are very small and one of the nurses was super new and had no idea what they were doing at the time. The staff were soso. Very few were nice, the main bht that worked with the adolescent unit was very sweet and the main nurse was very hard working and amazing. The other staff were, I feel, in it for the money and didn't fully give the emotional side recognition. While they say they do DBT and CBT and other kinds of therapy, they include maybe one session a day. The kids sit on their phones or do alternate activities/ don't pay attention. Sometimes the group leaders would give in and try to get them engage by playing games that don't have correlation with therapy. They only have two therapists for the adolescents and you are randomly assigned a therapist which gives you little to no room to be comfortable. My therapist, had an awful style of therapy. When she would call me in weekly, we would sit in silence and she would ask me if I had anything on my mind, me being the quiet kid that I am, usually would say nothing. When I did talk, she would just smile at me or give a nod. It was so awkward and honestly difficult for me. I already had a hard time with therapy so it drove me further from it. Once I opened up about I was losing hair from malnutrition and how I was (obviously) upset and she laughed at me and told me I knew what I needed to do. While she was right, you can't just say that to someone who is very mentally ill. They also let me get away with eating so little there, though I was on a small meal plan, they wouldn't try and boost me when I didn't eat. During meals, staff would also call out kids who were staring off or avoiding their food from across the table and ask them to talk about it to the group, which for me and probably others was triggering. Also It was embarrassing. They could've came up to you individually which would've been more comfortable and helpful. As far as food goes, they would primarily serve us processed packaged foods with little to no nutritional variety. Their dinners were okay, but only when they had catering. They used the term "all foods fit", which sure it could be true but not serving a variety and only feeding disordered kids processed foods is not healthy. Calories were out for everyone to see, meal plans were known, it was just a setup for failure. Overall, I would say if you need to go to treatment for an eating disorder, I would recommend the Eating Recovery Center, they have both PHP and Residential for both adults and adolescents not far in Bellevue. They are better structured, the staff are amazing, and they care. If the Emily program was better thought through and they had better staff that liked to interact with the kids, they would be highly improved.

Having dedicated time to openly discuss and work on our relationship, under the guidance of a skilled specialist like Luis, has been invaluable. We've gained many insights and have addressed parts of our relationship that we might not have been able to tackle on our own. Luis' expertise and thoughtful approach have made a significant difference in our lives. The service provided has been excellent and we cannot recommend Lasting Love Connections enough. Thank you Luis.

I am so grateful for Luis. When I first reached out to him about my marriage, I was in a lot of…read morepain and honestly didn't know how to move forward or how to heal things with my wife. Luis really took the time to listen to both of us and helped put everything into perspective so we could understand the root causes of our problems, not just the surface fights. He kept reminding us to slow down, actually listen to each other, and not jump straight into fixing or defending. That simple shift made a huge difference. We spent around 10 sessions with Luis, and our marriage is now better than ever. My wife and I are genuinely falling in love with each other all over again. We feel closer, more connected, and safer together than we have in years. I am truly thankful for Luis and the work he does.

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!

Insists that she's the only therapist in Seattle who understands disability,…read morebut is definitely not qualified to deal with transitions into living with a visible disability. I have full paralysis of one arm following a serious accident. The injury is in the spinal cord so it's irreversible. When I saw Wendy it was about 10 months post-accident and four months after being out of bed following a series of surgeries. My primary focus at that time was adapting to the changes and getting my life back, but a wrench was thrown into those works and I went to Wendy for support and solutions. She accused me of faking or exaggerating my disability for attention; lying about being married (this was profoundly bizarre); and desperately needing DBT when really what I needed was professional intervention and a legal advocate. The two sessions I had with Wendy were surreal. She was inappropriately fixated on my hair and what I was wearing, and made uncomfortable comments about my appearance, my disability, and my experiences. She demanded full records from my regular therapist (who actually did help a great deal with transitioning into disability) in a non-HIPAA compliant format and expressed anger when my therapist wasn't willing to engage. Her communication with the other therapist was not appropriate or secure and at the time I was encouraged to file a complaint with the state. I regret not doing this. If you are a woman, in an unsafe marriage, or living with a disability: please avoid Wendy. Her personal pathologies are splayed all over her work and, as the other woman reviewing her has said, the result is damage to the patient.
