Testimonials

I am so grateful for this clinic and to Jeffery. When I first reached out for help I was in a desperate point in my life and mental illness controlled me to the point of despair. I was completely hopeless. He helped me confront my past trauma and anxieties and over time I grew into a completely different person. When I look back at how much I changed it baffles me. This service is nothing short of a miracle and today I am able to live in society and take chances in my life, something I never thought was even possible. Thank you so much for taking the time with me and helping me continue to grow.
