The Center — A Place of HOPE

Everyone I met at the center was so nice and welcoming, the staff and the people going here. It feels like a community and a really safe place

There were 3 special people here that I want to thank. Nick, each time I was really struggling with something that I felt like I couldn\'t get through on my own, I had a session scheduled with him within a few hours. Each time he helped me walk through my problems, and taught me to use the skills I was learning. France, She was just always there. Her guidance, teaching and even her copious amounts of homework assignments, really helped me rebuild myself. She didn\'t let me avoid what I really wanted to avoid, and instead gave me advice on how to work through what I was feelings, so I could then rejoin my class. Kaitie, She has been incredibly helpful with my weekly testosterone shots. I told her the first time that I have a needle phobia, but that I wanted to learn to give the shots to myself by the time I left the center. She has been very encouraging the whole way, and I\'ve made a lot of progress with calming down for my shots.

I went to The Center, desperate for anything that could help me, but not really believing that I could be helped. Nothing else worked, I didn\'t know what else to do, or where else to turn to. What I found when I got there was instant acceptance and a beginning to healing. No judgement for who I am or the decisions that I have made. I found myself there. I found my self-confidence, self-worth, and finally I found an understanding of why I am the way I am, which is helping me discover who I truly am.

They were always on top of things, and I\'m super grateful to them. I know sometime I was a handful, but they always treated me really well, and I respect them a lot. THANK YOU MED TEAM!

They were AMAZING. I can\'t say enough great things about Karen, Janine, Katy and Katie, and Shannon. I also loved my faith classes with France and Renee. Special shoutout to Katy for helping me try new foods and battle my ARFID. She always made me feel comfortable and safe, and I was always so confident and proud of myself when leaving those sessions. Thank you so much for helping me do the work!
