Kristen and Heidi have been a true blessing to me. They are compassionate, professional, supporting, caring and have a passion for the best interest of their patients. I have enjoyed the individual and group sessions, which have been a enlightening experience. It is a great feeling that I am not on this journey alone, but with people who only want what is best for me. I would highly recommend White Sands to anyone.
They're going to meet you where you are and walk with you into a better place. Each person who works here is a blessing. Professionally trained and personally caring, the two best attributes in a mental health professional. I attend therapy, have taken TMS and am planning to take Spravato to treat a lifetime of depression. My progress has been noticeable to all my loved ones. I'm grateful.
I had relocated from another state and was searching for a therapist that specialized in what I needed. When I called, they do a screening to place you with a therapist that matched what you need. On my first appointment, I immediately feel very at ease with the entire vibe as soon as you walk in. When I met the one they matched me with I was so comfortable, so ready to get started and continue my therapy. I am so so happy and can not wait and look forward to every visit in the future.
