“To begin with, Katie is a great therapist. I would refer her to anybody. I had no problem opening up to her and talking. She is helpful and understanding. She looks to see what is best for her clients. I wouldn't trade her for any therapist in the world.” Patient Comment - Adolescent Female Inpatient Program
“I liked what we did here. Me and my therapist worked on a lot of my issues, like how to deal when I get angry or mad. What kinds of other, positive things I can do instead of being destructive or aggressive. I feel like I can get along better with my family now. Thank you.” Patient Comment - Adolescent Male Inpatient Program
