A Place of Hope for Depression

I have gained so much more of and understanding of emotions, thoughts, and feelings. How to cope and be more aware. I so much appreciated all the one on one basis and attention given! I was very satisfied with my treatment. more

I want to say Thank you to the Staff and Dr. Gregory Jantz for the opportunity to come, pouring into me interpersonally, educationally, spiritually, emotionally and financially. more

My sessions with my primary therapist were very beneficial. He was able to understand some of my thoughts and feelings I have had stuck in me for years. Some very eye opening realizations came from out 1 on 1s. Very well structured and thought through program. more

I came to The Center for depression and anxiety and I must say my Treatment Team was AMAZING. All of them showed me incredible support and understanding. My medical team was fantastic. They have been a big bless in my life and I could not be more grateful for them I was very satisfied with my experience and I highly recommend The Center. more

I had been suffering from significant grief and loss. I needed to figure out what was wrong with me. To uncover why I choose the people I choose. How had things gotten so bad without me even realizing it??? I originally came here under the belief that I was an alcoholic that had zero control over her life. What I found out was I had never dealt with my past and it was severely impacting my present and future. Though alcohol wasn't necessarily the problem, I found out what my diagnosis was and have established a base line here.My treatment team was amazing. I remember being totally thrown off when I realized everyone on it talked about me behind my back but then I reminded myself that this was part of the experience. That by them working together, I could really find some answers and deal with my depression/anxiety. My family and friends sent me here to "be fixed". Though I cannot say that I am fixed, I can say that I have the skills, understanding, and determination to find more healthy solutions to my life. "I can handle it" is my renewed mantra :-) For that I am truly grateful. The Center is outstanding at what it does and I highly recommend it more

My treatment team was AMAZING. My primary therapist's knowledge is outstanding (I often called her BRILLIANT) and her ability to seek out the truth is a gifted blessing. With her kind demeanor and ability to provide resolution she has changed my thought process and changed my vision of what life CAN be. My co-primary's knowledge of coping mechanism's is another blessing I will take with me. Her sincere concern made me feel comfortable and able to address issues that I was unaware were of major concern. She is kind, intelligent and so comforting. Mike W. was God sent for me. I was initially uncomfortable at the thought of speaking to a male counselor, however, he set my thoughts at ease the instant I met him. His kind composure and divine knowledge are a blessing that will stay with me. If you are struggling, call The Center. They will change your life. more

My treatment team was amazing! Mike S. Thank you for truly listening to my heart and always seeking to understand my deep questions and goals. Thank you for validating my feelings and recognizing my sincere desire to grow and always meeting that with additional homework - which I loved! Thank you for helping my heal in my relationship with God and helping me to understand my emotions. Thank you for praying with me. Matt G. - Thank you for being the first person at the Center to truly hear my story, my deep struggles and offering me nothing, but compassion and understanding. Our conversation on the phone prior to my visit to the Center was one of the biggest reasons I decided to come. You helped me understand and reframe the issues of my childhood and see how they have played such a significant role in my life today. Thank you for seeing how that has impacted my relationship with my wife and helping me learn to grow in that area. Dr. Arden - Thank you for listening to me. Before I came, that was a rare commodity. Thank you for processing my challenges with my job with me and helping me to have more clarity about how I truly feel about that. Thank you also for having a lighthearted and at times playful spirit about it. more

When I arrived at The Center I was broken. I didn't know why i stopped functioning. My friends wanted me to talk about my relationship with my dad and with my ex-roommate/friend. I was also suicidal, but i didn't think that was something that could ever be changed. I loved my treatment team, and I loved my medical team. The key word is "team" as I had many people with a wide array or skills working with me. I felt like they were all very cohesive, concerned/caring, informative, and discerning. My primary counselor helped me to stop being suicidal. My secondary helped me accept and live more into myself. They both really explained so much to me that in the past i kept circling but could not grasp. My spiritual guide helped me to reallocate my efforts from my father to my mother. My medical primary helped me to think more efficiently. My nutritionist helped me be less highstrung. The second doctor on my team helped me be more encouraged about my health. My primary counselors in particular encouraged me and fostered hope in me. Even staff who weren't on my team helped me. One therapist wasn't on my team but the two sessions i had with her were amazing - she blew me away. This place is exceptional and life changing. more

I wanted back the ability to feel joy, and learn skills to help deal with future crucibles. My treatment team were all wonderful, and I can"t thank them enough. They were great. They were flexible and willing to try many different options and angles to figure out what could help me best. more

My experience was very good. All the staff was very helpful and professional at all times.Thank you for everything!! more

I feel like the reviews before me state so well why The Center is an amazing place. But I want to write my own review because my life has been changed and I am so thankful. I had become a shell of the person I once was. I needed to Address my anger and figure out where my depression and anxiety were coming from. I desperately wanted to find a way to deal with it, recapture my life and 'stay outside of the pit." The Center helped me do just that. There is something special about the team and their ability to listen, understand, and know how to approach the individual issues and history that each client brings with them. I had a team of professionals that worked with me, and that really made a difference. I felt extremely supported by my primary counselor. She was easy to talk to, and gave me lots of resources. I loved my secondary too. She was amazing and compassionate and had so much insight! She made DBT come alive for me. The third counselor on my team did an excellent job as well, and as a mom, I so appreciated her interacting with me about how this stuff applied to being a parent. I didn't realize how much I needed that, but I really did. In short, amazing, life-changing transformations take place at The Center. If you really do want to get quality care and recapture your life, and are willing to make the effort, this center will help you get there. I recommend very highly for anyone struggling with anger, depression and anxiety. more

I came to The Center looking for answers four weeks ago. After arriving, and after confessing my hesitancy to trust people in general, I was asked by my Counselor, “Why do you trust me, then?” My answer was, “I believe that most organizations take on the characteristics of their Founder or President. I have observed that Dr. Jantz, a man of faith and prayer, has been devoted to his clients, supporting them through writing books and articles, and as a Clinician for decades. So, based upon that, I chose to come to The Center, and trust my gut." My experience has exceeded my hopes. I observed that the Counselors work together as a team, committed to each client’s whole life care. Clients' teams meet weekly, and sometimes more often, to discuss how each person is doing, and upon reevaluation, often update the schedule. This is to make certain anticipated and newly discovered needs: medical, nutritional, emotional, even spiritual, if requested, are being met. When I say team, I mean more like a family. That’s what the Center feels like, folks committed to the Whole Person. The Staff, from the Admissions Team to the Front Desk to the Counselors, are upbeat, authentic, and share from their own experience. Not once did I feel talked down to, or patronized. As far as the care clients receive, all I can do is compare it to, well, believe it or not, a Cruise. Each week, housekeeping comes into the Center and, if you’ve had the good fortune to vacation on a Cruise Ship, you may remember the little towel animals that housekeeping made and left on the bed. Not quite Cruise bundles, but it is pleasant to come back to a neat bundle of clean white linens, freshly made beds and sparkly clean accommodations. Lunch served is gourmet, professionally made. Plied with fresh fruit each day, no one can complain about going hungry or not eating healthy. The setting is amazing. Perched on the side of a gentle hill, there are stores and restaurants, and a Ferry System to embark upon. Did I mention the Gym, Whirlpool, and Pool? Steam Room. more

The Center saved my life. Highly recommended. more

The Center - A Place of Hope is just that, A place of hope, caring, understanding, friendships and love. I only wish my insurance was paying so that I could stay longer. Ive been searching for a place like this for so many years. I could not have asked for a better treatment team. All of them were so helpful, enlightening and caring. I knew without a shadow of a doubt they were all willing to help me in anything I needed. I can never thank them enough for the true caring, strength and guidance they did for me. My medical team was very impressive very caring and informative. Prior to coming to The Center I had been misdiagnosed with BiPolar when in fact I am ADD. the meds that I had received in the past were actually hindering me and making my conditions worse. I also received great information about natural healing. Im all in and very appreciative. By changing diet, exercise and natural herbs I am feeling much more balanced. more

I liked the well-balanced approach of private sessions, group classes, group activities, community living. It all was very beneficial to the healing process. And the willingness to adapt and change the program a bit to specific needs of individuals, or if certain issues arised. Was very helpful to see The Center's willingness to cater to individual needs. My life is forever changed, and it would not have happened had I not come to The Center! more

My treatment team was nothing less than amazing. It was a full team assigned to me, and helped with chemical dependency, I greatly benefited from my primary's advice about sharing with others. Others on my team, I feel were hand pick by God to help me maneuver my way through this journey. I feel very blessed to have all of them on my team more

The Center saved my life approx. 5.5 years ago. Dr. Jantz and his team are top-notch, wonderful people. I received an amazing amount of therapy, a new perspective, and a new start to life. Well worth the cost. Meeting so many others in similar situations was key to no longer feeling alone. I still keep up with many of my friends from The Center. more

I came to know about "The Center" ten years ago. I knew in my heart It was a "God Idea ", not just a good idea. Being a Pastor I was extremely embarrassed to even have to tell what happened to me, and why I needed people who were understanding to care enough to help me get through this horrible time in my life, without humiliation. But, before finding a place of hope, when I reached out for help I receive negative attitudes with basically was told to get over it and move on. I needed more than just a pep talk, I needed help! So one day when I was crying and asking the Lord to send me something that could help me. I just typed in the word HOPE as at time in my life I was hopeless, knowing I needed help, and that was the beginning of my TRANSFORMATION, spirit, soul and body. It was a place of hope. Let me share with you dear ones what happened to me. I had just gone through abused marriage that caused me develop an eating disorder. I am Pastor, I have written several teaching books and a Bible Training School, on the radio, been on TV locally and nationally and internationally. It was through their website that I found The Center. I had my secretary take the call, I told her what to say and she handed me the phone, because I felt shame but then I talked to the most wonderful lady who was so kind and loving, it wasn't fake, it was real compassion and it brought such a peace to me I'll never forget that day. I was so fearful, it was difficult to trust. But after talking to that kind lady on the phone, I felt safe. "The Center" I knew then recovery would be possible and I felt what Hope like because Hope not just a "quick fix" but a complete healing emotionally and physically. Let me just say in in closing none of us were meant to try to handle devastating events on our own. Instead reach out to The Center". more

Thank you to The Center for giving me the time, space, and care to heal! more
