A Place of Hope for Depression

I ended up loving the group therapy, and it's something I was wary of when I first came. But getting to know the other clients and hearing their stories and encouragement really kept me going and gave me hope. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at The Center and am leaving in a MUCH better place than when I arrived. more

Each person on my treatment team (they put a special team together just for me) was truly a blessing. It was an honor to have the team that I had. My primary therapist went above and beyond and really made an impact on me. I came for depression and an eating disorder, and I could not have come to a better place. Thank you for helping me and changing my life. more

I came to work on my depression, eating and to make it so I can find a way to experience a happy life. My experience with my treatment team was very positive, the most positive treatment team ive ever had. Life changing. Thank you for reminding me what I have to live for. more

The admissions team was amazing and calmed my fears of coming here. I was desperate in my depression but also terrified with anxiety. They were calm, sincere, and continued to reassure me that they have seen amazing growth from people with similar situations to my own. I absolutely love my treatment team. Everyone was so different and brought different insight into my problems. It was exactly what I needed without actually knowing that I needed that. My primary is an amazing therapist as well as a group leader. She has a very calming presence and has really helped me to reconnect with myself and my emotions without judging them. My secondary has given me ideas on how to love myself and to experience life again. And my other secondary has been encouraging as well as empowering to overcome emotional abuse. My spiritual counselor has an ability to reach inside and love your soul and make you want to love your soul as well. And my other team therapist always has such encouraging words and advice. All of it was helpful to me. There were classes that I was unsure of but I always got way more out of them than I could have imagined. Thank you so so much. This is a great program and has changed my life. more

I just want to thank Dr. Jantz for making The Center: A Place of Hope, it really helped me out with my healing. I have a long way to go though, but I'm confident that I can live a normal life now. His books really helped me out too, especially Healing The Scars of Emotional Abuse, which is one of the free books I was given.– Sarah, 21. more

Thank you for creating such an amazing, compassionate and robust program! I had an undoubtedly positive experience with my treatment team and their professionalism, knowledge and compassion were superior to other experiences I have had and there have been a few including one at a another well-known center this year. This Place of Hope is different and so much better. more

I think I had the BEST team. My primary was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and incorporated a ton of resources and approaches into her treatment. She was so compassionate and understanding of me through my difficult times and made me feel supported and heard. She pushed me so much on self-esteem issues, an area in which I was quite resistant, and it absolutely transformed my thinking. more

Thank you for my stay at Serenity. The Center and my stay at Serenity mark a turning point in my life that I will never forget. This is where I learned to love myself again. I found compassion here...for myself and for others. I thank God for Dr. Jantz and his team. My treatment team was nothing short of excellent. My team has saved my life. My primary counselor got to the root of my issues within the first session. In addition to understanding my issues, he also understands the consequences of my issues on my wife. I've never felt so understood in all of my life. I love how he speaks the truth in love. He has prepared me for the challenging road ahead. My secondary has helped me have compassion for myself. She's helped me see my self-worth is internal and eternal. She's freed me from all of the pain that was distorting my view of myself and others. My spiritual guide has inspired me to get back to reading my Bible daily. And my therapist helped me process all I've been learning by giving me the space to articulate my thoughts verbally. Very highly recommended. more

Great synergy with the team. There were many aspects of this program that have come together to help me meet some of my major goals while being here. The skills of DBT are going to be incredibly helpful to me as well as building healthy boundaries. Thank you for what you do! more

The Staff here is incredibly caring and genuinely want to see Clients succeed. The instructors and counselors are diverse in their teaching styles and personalities, which is something that I have found incredibly helpful. One of the most important aspects of this treatment program, for me, has been the amazing community that I have found with the other clients here. Hearing others stories and struggles and sharing my own in such a safe place has been so crucial for me. This has been an intense, often painful, and truly life changing experience. more

This place saved my life. The CBT has been crucial to shifting my negative self talk. The boundaries class also helped me redefine and set them in my life and I love feeling that I'm allowed to protect myself and not to feel guilty about it. I feel better now than I ever have. more

I came to A Place Of Hope to learn how to better cope and manage anxiety and depression, and to begin my process of recovery from Eating Disorder. I also wanted to address my spiritual faith issues. I loved my treatment team. Each member that helped in my treatment was amazing. The staff here is really talented and I truly felt their compassion. My life has made such an amazing change because of them, and I am forever grateful. God's love, grace, mercy and compassion shined through all of them in such a profound way. Although I did not spend too much time with doctors, nurses or other members of the medical team, all of my medical appointments were helpful and productive. The 1 on 1's were the most beneficial parts of the program for me. ED group was also really beneficial. The coffee machine in the lobby was also super beneficial. I just want to say thank you to everyone who was a part of my time at The Center. You really do such an amazing job. more

I cannot say enough great things about the center. Caring, so helpful, they know what they are doing. My treatment was outstanding and better than I had hoped for. The DBT, boundaries and one on one sessions are excellent. more

The admissions, treatment team and doctors are all wonderful! During m stay, they all made me feel like there was hope for me, and it turned out there was! Great experience. more

Everyone here on my team and leading the classes I had where excellent. I want to commend the staff here for their patience and ability to provide the space for people to share. Edmonds is an ideal setting for this facility, the city is very welcoming and inviting and clients don't feel like they stand out. It is really wonderful to have a place this to heal. more

I want to say that this place is the real deal. If you are seriously desiring to get better from serious depression or anxiety, A Place of Hope is outstanding. Great staff, great program. I felt very safe and cared for. Thank you to everyone I had the privilege of working with at The Center. more

The treatment team members are all so great. I am thankful for each person that was on my team. They helped tremendously. I cannot say enough about the quality of this program. If you need help for depression or anxiety, call a place of hope. more

The admissions team was incredible. I felt heard, understood and like what I needed was valid. They were very accommodating. The first day orientation session was great. Very informative and good explanations with a lot of information. The treatment team was incredible. My primary was a God send. I have never felt more understood or valued in my entire life than speaking to him in my one on ones. The whole person treatment is really impressive. Everything intertwines. In my second week, things started to click and I could see why this type of approach is the best way to healing. Overall, this is an exceptional program and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. more
