So how fortuitous it was that I found her when I had recently reached my own personal rock bottom and was in extraordinary emotional pain. Having recently moved to Bend, far from family and friends, I don't know how I could've gotten through this without her. I found Shannon to be instantly warm, kind and non-judgemental. Her empathy and compassion are instantly apparent, but she also worked to give me attainable goals to keep me tracking for success and help pull me out of a deep dark hole. I just don't know what I would've done without her. And while I'm OVERJOYED to state that I have, after a year long challenge, come out of that place, I am sad I won't be seeing Shannon regularly. It is not without her help that I have made it to the other side of my battle. Thank you, Shannon! I highly, highly recommend her. Seen for: private counseling & couples counseling.

A friend recommended Joseph, and the two full days and money we spent were completely worth it. Joseph himself is an incredible listener, very knowledgeable, and open and caring. The best part is that he helped us reconnect with God when we felt too angry or confused to do so, which is what we needed. This is a hard road to walk, but we now walk with hope, thanking God for who he is, and knowing that he has our son. I highly recommend Joseph to help you process through grief and relational pain.

I refused because of how they treated me and her to begin with. If we had ohp billing we wouldn't have been denied after an intake and charged. Literally they clearly understand counseling is always recommended after a divorce- they couldn't just watch my kid play with toys a few sessions? They literally forced her to answer inappropriate questions that made her feel weird and scared. When they realized the only diagnosis could be depression from a divorce and how her step mother treats her they decided they wouldn't make the $$$ they wanted to off of us... I believe there are plenty of counseling offices where your child isn't a $$$$$ sign... glad we found a new counselor in Redmond by the airport! He agreed my childs diagnosis wouldn't bring a large treatment bill, and they played my insurance like a flute!

I have gotten to know Kimberly a bit over the past several months and have enjoyed meaningful and personal conversation with her. The items she and I dove into are personal insights into events in my life that have had a profound impact on my in the past as well as do shape who I am working on becoming in my future. I have found Kimberly to be a fantastic listener who really does care about what is being said as well as the impactful ness of the discussion and subject matter within. Having been to see a therapist in my past regarding processing loss of loved ones and how best to adjust and deal with these life changing instances, I find Kimberly to be exactly what someone would look for in a therapist. someone they can count on for a genuine ear and someone who may lead you and offer guidance on how to process and eventually heal is what I observed within this counselor. I will be making referrals to Kimberly in the future and who knows, I may be back for myself as well if my schedule opens up.

However, Emmy worked with me to help me feel comfortable and become familiar with the process right away. Emmy's calm, caring, and kind demeanor made the whole experience stress-free, and I looked forward to each week's sessions. I was able to work with her on issues that I didn't realize were occurring from my past that were affecting my current relationships with my family and work. In just 5 sessions, I was able to work through a variety of topics and make progress toward better peace and balance within my life. What I specifically liked was how hypnosis works with the subconscious mind and heals things without having to go through the emotions of traditional talk therapy. What can be achieved in years of talk therapy can be improved in a matter of 1-2 months with hypnosis. If you're on the fence about hypnosis, I highly recommend you contact Emmy for a free consultation. It will be well worth your time to explore this option of therapy!

At the expense of oversharing personal details, I will say this to parents considering sending their children here: unless he/she has a serious drug or alcohol problem, this is not the right place for them. They will experience many teens going through extreme detoxes and learn more about the drug world than any sane teen would ever want to need or want to know. Many therapists who are dealing with youth that suffer from extreme anxiety and/or depression recommend this type of program, but fail to educate parents on why the majority of kids that are sent to these are there for: drugs and alcohol. I would highly recommend a therapeutic boarding school or therapy-based program, but this detox based environment only makes things worse.

My husband and I both felt that their parent counseling and video education series was highly relevant and useful. I sent my son to Second Nature after trying various other programs that didn't work. A wilderness program was my last choice and I was extremely anxious of letting go and entrusting my 16 year old son's care to complete strangers. And, in the middle of one of the coldest winters 2013-2014 on record. He successfully graduated from the program, but required therapeutic boarding school for further work. (Which by the way is quite common.) To put it in my son's words, "I was there, because I fu@&ed up. It sucked, but it was necessary and through the process I met a lot of cool people and learned a lot about myself." (Note: he made this statement about 2nd Nature after completing one year of therapeutic boarding school.)
