From the owner: My specialty is directing by use of well tailored questions to help you find your way. It is a…read moreblend of client centered, psychodynamic, and insight oriented therapies. It is important for me to help you determine your goals and reach them efficiently. We do this by taking what you bring each week and processing it in light of your history, experiences, perspective, and stated treatment goals. I aim to be the skilled confidant that accompanies you while gaining insight into your situation and who you are as an individual. Growing in self understanding helps make decisions that can be incorporated into your life and make your own. This "new normal" becomes a way of life as you grow to employ the new tools you will have gained in therapy. My ideal clients do not want psychological platitudes in the form of advice but want to be stretched and challenged.

Dr, Debbie Cherry is a very warm and compassionate woman. She is very easy to get along with. She…read morereally knows her stuff. You can expect complete honesty from her. She is worthy of your trust. You can be completely candid with her and not be concerned she will judge you. She is a Christian woman. However; it is your choice whether you want Christian principles to be a part of your therapy. She does not shove it down your throat. She can sometimes be late in starting your sessions. She's a very busy woman. If she keeps you waiting longer than 10 minutes too often just tell her about it. She'll get herself back on track. This goes for any issues you may have with Dr. Cherry. If you are not happy with something she has said and/or done it is always okay to tell her so. She will accept responsibility if she feels you are correct and will work with you to find middle ground if you disagree. When she is certain she is not wrong she will be firm in her stance but not arrogant. She isn't someone that can be manipulated but, in knowing that, you can be secure in her ability to help you. If you are looking for a doctor that can help you through a rough time with caring, warmth, understanding and who is also very knowledgeable, Dr. Cherry is the one to see.

Dr. Buckner is a great therapist! She has an extremely calming energy about her that really helped…read moreme. Her waiting room had either this wallpaper or painting that looked so similar to Gone with the Wind's Tara. It was truly beautiful and really helped me to be able to relax and not feel an undue stress or anxiety before my appointment began. Especially seeing as that was my favorite novel. Every time that I'd start to have a panic attack or my breathing would escalate Dr. Buckner always had a very soothing way of helping me stabilize it. She also helped me to reclaim my long time love of writing/journaling. I'd been wanting to start journaling again for a really long time but hadn't been able to after everything that I'd been through and been struggling with. You don't just feel as though it's therapist and patient the way that she listens and speaks to you, you feel as though it's just between friends. She genuinely gets to know you as not just a patient, but as a person and she jokes around with you about (always appropriate) things that she knows that you will appreciate the humor in and find funny. She also always sends you back into the world with these grains of wisdom that lead you onto a journey of self discovery and exploration to help give you the tools to be able to better yourself at the end of each and every day. She never judges you for the things that you disclose to her, which in this day and age is quite rare. I wish that she hadn't retired, she was amazing. =}

Half the girls would hide pills to snort later, and when it was reported, nothing was done to prevent it. Girls would punch walls, steal art supplies to snap in half and S/H in their rooms, and the staff didn't give two shits. They put us in a hard reset (which is when you have to stay in your room for 24 hours straight) for over 3 days, and pushed the kids to riot. A little girl who should have been in a different unit, got jumped for standing up for another girl. They didn't do shit about it. The food was sickening, and I starved for the whole week I was there because if I ate it, I would just throw it up. The guest area looked like they were trying to hide what all the other places were like. It was dirty, never got cleaned, and almost none of the showers, toilets, or sinks worked. Dogshit mental hospital, wouldn't wish this shit upon satan himself.
