Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with ADHD. After a negative experience with a doctor who didn’t specialize in ADHD, prescribed too high a dosage of a medication, and didn’t listen to me, I was hesitant to seek help again. However, as I began struggling again with organization, managing schoolwork, and keeping my space clean, I decided to give it another try. I’m so glad I did.
The staff is the most pleasant people i have ever dealt with in a professional setting they all really do care about their patients and their well-being .my Dr Mrs Christine Hawkins which I have only seen twice..makes me feel so comfortable I feel like I've know her my whole life and to me that's why she stands out from the rest so I want to say thank you Christine and all the staff for your excellent service and making me feel loved.
We are immensely grateful for the support Michelle at Mental Wellness Counseling has provided for our almost 7-year-old. From the first session, Michelle created a safe and welcoming environment where our child felt comfortable. She has also helped me navigate our son's struggles, making me feel like I am not failing. He loves going and always wants to come more. We highly recommend Michelle to any parent seeking a caring and skilled professional.
I have been through PHP twice because of very difficult times in my life and it has been the best of all of the many counselors/programs that I tried over the years. It teaches coping skills, and it really TEACHES them, not just have chat fests or complaint fests that most counseling consists of in most places. And it follows up with weekly counseling that continues with help with coping skills. I have had numerous "counselors" in the past from many other places that only chat for an hour every week and never teach you how to change. My life is a whole lot better because of PHP and this program. I recommend it.
