Blue Heron is on a beautiful and serene piece of property, it’s a great option for anyone who is struggling with mental health or substance use. The staff genuinely care about each and every client. I’ve personally seen the CEO, Christina, sit down with clients to talk them about what’s going on. Heather does a great job of helping clients walk through steps of getting admitted and makes you feel a part of immediately. All around the staff there is the best!

This review is for Brian, is a friendly worker who is available and gave me his work number in case of needing anything else for my healthcare. He has been in contact mostly whenever needed by email and phone.
Definitely come here if you need clarification and are seeking the needs you need for your mental health. I have been desperately looking for someone who cares about my mental health than other doctors who just throw random pills at you for no reason to throw you off. Dr. Ali was very helpful, friendly, and listens to everything you need to say. I appreciate him and his team very much!
Dr. Martin is an astute and compassionate clinician whose humor immediately puts people at ease. I confidently refer my patients his way and know that they are in the best hands. I highly recommend him to those seeking high quality therapy services!
I can't even begin to express how much my life changed after starting treatment here. From my first call into the clinic, the receptionist Darcy was empathetic in hearing me out when I was at my lowest. I knew immediately I found the right place.
