I cant say enough about my experience at Crestview. Hands down the best treatment center I've been too. They truly helped me save my life. I would recommend them to anyone struggling with addiction/mental health. From the top down they've shown nothing but compassion and care, not to mention the programming and tools they provide to help transition back to life. Top notch!
This review is specifically for Genevieve, one of the family therapists at Fora. Genevieve is truly special. I’ve had multiple therapists and therapist consultations, and she has been the easiest to connect with by far. She’s thorough and helpful, and has this disarming effect that puts people at ease. I was met with kindness, patience, and zero judgement. She’s personable in a way that makes you feel like you’re not just another patient. She is dedicated to helping people and meeting them where they’re at. Fora is lucky to have her!
I was in such a dark time in my life, and Cedar Hills welcomed me with open arms. The staff and workers are so sweet, kind, supportive and understanding. I really appreciate the support. Coming to Cedar Hills really changed me and helped me be in a better place ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Cielo . From the moment I walked through the doors, I was met with kindness, compassion, and genuine support from the entire staff. They go above and beyond to make sure every individual feels heard, valued, and supported on their journey to recovery.
Ryan has helped guide me through a litany of issues. He is very easy to talk to and open up to, and is always thoughtful and compassionate in his feedback. I had a lot of anxiety about seeing a therapist, but that subsided about half way through my first session. I'd give Ryan 6 stars if I could.
