She has wonderful perspective and insight. she is a soft place to fall when you need it most. She is an expert in many areas and very skilled in what she does and yet she is one of the most down to earth and comfortable people to talk to. I was impressed with her professionalism and yet felt valued as a client. She makes you feel as if you are her number one priority when you are talking to her and as if she truly understands you. She shared a few key things that resonates with me still and gave me my AHA moments to move on. She always responds and returns calls or emails promptly and THAT was huge for me! Ten stars!!! If I could!

I truly believe I wouldn't be the Mom I am today without the help of Ashley and her wonderful care.

After being there 6 days I was told I have to do 30 in detox then I move to mental health house and do 30 there. He knew very well I had only 30 days. The house on their website that's all beautiful on the beach, only holds 6 clients. And the detox house is nasty old rundown apartments with old couches, no table to eat at, nothing on the walls. Just like a frat house. Everyone just sits in their rooms watches tv and eats junk food. Brian from admissions showed up when I became angry that he lied to me about my time there, and he started trying to convince me that doing the program their way was what was right for me. I left and it really screwed me up to have been lied to and shoved into the wrong program just so they could make money They are taking advantage of people with mental illness and people with substance abuse issues by signing them up for programs that do not meet their needs.

I have felt completely supported and have seen significant growth as a result of my sessions. The office is small and operations are streamlined. You work through your provider to schedule appointments. I would rather have great care and not have to pay for the admin costs of a larger operation.

Although the counselor seemed promising in terms of helping me, the method and inconsistency with…read morescheduling at the office drove me away from pursuing this company after only two sessions. The first visit was an intake and went well. The second session was cancelled last minute by the therapist; she texted that she was sick that day. I rescheduled for an open time two days ahead, but on the day of the appointment, 5 minutes before the appointment time, while I was in my car on the way to the office, she texted to ask me to push the appointment back a half hour. I sat in my car waiting for a half hour. That night, at the appointment, I scheduled my next appointment to avoid any last minute changes. When my appointment came two weeks later, she texted me that day to ask if I wanted an appointment that night....that was off putting because I had already scheduled my appointment two weeks prior. I was told that if I did not hear back from her that day to assume my appointment was still at its scheduled time... In my opinion, this is unprofessional, and I was left feeling as though my time was not valuable. I am not sure if this was my particular therapist or the office's poor scheduling system; however, I received no apology for this. I respectfully declined using their services due to these issues, and to date, I still have not received any text message in the form the of acknowledge of my declination of services nor an apology. I would not recommend this company based on the aforementioned issues.

The way they care about lasting change is second to none. People are all so kind and you can tell just by walking in on the first day. The best decision I made in my life was coming here. They have activities every day outside of the center, and if none of those entice you, it's a couple blocks from the beach and there's always people who want to go hang out there or you can suggest an activity. They also have extensive opportunities for different kinds of treatment that I would never have had access to without it such as brain mapping, a nutritionist, neurofeedback, etc. I found the staff to be super receptive to any ideas we came up with to improve the program, even taking in weekly suggestions. They have always been there for a listening ear or a solution depending on what you need. They fix anything they can quickly and efficiently. I credit my complete turn around to this facility. Looking at myself from even 5 months ago to now is night and day. They helped me see myself in a whole new light. I am forever grateful to everyone who helped me along my journey at MHC. It's not just your individual therapist, it's all of them. It's the facilitators who become like friends and the clients who turn into life-long friendships. If you're considering MHC, just give them a call. It was a call that changed the trajectory of my life, and maybe yours or a loved one too.

My case manager (Michael) was excellent and I always felt comfortable bringing any concerns to him. My therapist (Morgan) was caring and compassionate.
