I myself being a behavioral health counselor, love the idea of the services provided by Encore . Also being a fellow peer of an alcohol addiction now 3 years sober I like the idea of the individualized treatment service they provide far as gender conformed...
I know Dr. Joanna Chango-James in a professional capacity and would highly recommend her as a psychologist. She is extremely dedicated to all of her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they are receiving the best treatment necessary. Dr. Chango-James is highly trained in OCD and anxiety as well as couples, and anyone seeking care in these areas would benefit greatly from working with her!
Holly is amazing. As newly weds, she’s helped us so much! I will forever wish the absolute best for her and her loved ones because she changes couples and marriages for the better. She really helps you understand one another and helps you understand the reality of marriage. Marriage is hard work. When both husband and wife are willing to put in the work selflessly, that’s when the real love flourishes.
Rock Recovery has grown so much since I first met them in 2013! It's because of Rock that I believe freedom from eating disorders is truly possible. Just ask some of their clients. Rock is constantly looking for ways to better serve individuals who are struggling (and serve as many of them as possible!) especially during the pandemic when the need skyrocketed and they had to turn to virtual methods. They continue to offer individual and group therapy, meal support, corporate wellness workshops and community education. Rock is such a STRONG community that meets you where you are and supports you when it's needed most.
This program is filled with staff who genuinely care. I felt cared for the entire time I was a resident. The Demeter House staff deserves all props. As with any in-patient treatment center, make sure you have a lock & keep your cigarettes & lighters on your person. This is a rigorous program but with the right mindset you can succeed. Shout-out to Ms Alicia who is the bomb dot com & Ms Mollie for helping me overcome some of my religious trauma.
