The Center • A Place of HOPEReviews of aplaceofhope.com

I’ll keep it brief because as you probably know having a mental illness makes it hard to articulate and remember things. I wish I was able to say more of the could and the bad... Been here three times and I did get a lot of good amount of information out of it however I didn’t feel like there was any consistency when in came to some things even with how I was being treated, and to make matters worse I was put on medication that I didn’t even need to be on which caused way more problems and when I spoke up nothing was done. Four weeks of having a hard time and for some of it, it was all in my head which in reality is partially true but there could have been something done to make things easier!! I have a love hate relationship here and I think this place just isn’t for everyone. In my experience it’s not easy to do it here but I strongly encourage you to advocate for yourself however as a person who’s been dealing with her mental health for four years also spend time trusting the process and trying new things. They didn’t make me better but they also didn’t make me worse.

The place was great. I would recommend it to anyone. The only disappointment I had was that I was so far away from the gym. They need to do something for the Hope house to make the gym more accessible.

I came to The Center looking for answers four weeks ago. After arriving at the Center, 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 believe 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 the little 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, no less, 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, not to mention the Ferry System to embark upon. Oh yes, did I mention the Gym, Whirlpool, and Pool? Steam Room…..free access to all clients? Among Clients, an air of camaraderie prevails. I'm a bit on the shy side in groups, but this is what you want to make of it. I’m leaving the Center, equipped with tools, more self-aware, and feel heard, understood, and well-advised. The responsibility for the rest is up to me, and I have Hope….which is more than I felt when I arrived...

My experience at The Center was beyond what I expected. Not only is the staff supportive and welcoming, the other clients made me feel welcomed and safe. The program taught me skills to cope with certain situations and taught me a new, healthier way of thinking that I will continue to build. Leaving here, I'm taking with me a heightened sense of self confidence, more motivation to keep progressing, and a stronger relationship with God. I"m excited to go home because I'm excited to work towards my future, which is something I have not been able to say in a very long time. I couldn't be more thankful for everyone here at The Center, they are fantastic at what they do.

I came to The Center with no hope, a failing marriage and career, and no end in sight to my depression. Not only did I get answers to my many questions about past diagnosis', but my diagnosis was corrected almost immediately. The community of staff and fellow clients was absolutely incredible. I never imagined a place so positive, caring, empathetic, and filled with Hope. After just 4 weeks, my depression is gone, I have clear purpose for my life, my marriage is back on track, and I feel human for the first time in 3 decades. This was the best choice I have ever made regarding my health, and I will recommend it to anyone who finds themself lost, suffering and without hope. There is simply no way you could regret investing time into the program at The Center. There is Hope for you!

While I have not been a client of The Center, I have had the privilege of getting to know the team there and am so very impressed with their implementation of true whole person care. Our bodies are complex and have a remarkable ability to heal. Our brain and body is also “whole” or “connected” which requires the “whole” to be considered even when a health challenge might seem very specific. And this is what is so special about The Center. The team is made up with a unique variety of doctors and professionals to care for all of you. I am the founder of Redd Remedies, an herbal supplement manufacture. We specialize in formulas to solve specific health challenges. When I met Dr. Jantz at a retreat and learned of the work they were doing we both decided that we need for formulate some natural supplements to help the clients at The Center. These formulas are now being used as part of The Centers programs.
