    I thought that the behavior health specialist would drive the conversation but instead, it seemed to be left up to me to do so. My daughters are also seeing therapists who seem to be leading conversations by asking questions and giving them homework to further pursue efforts to identify and address potential reasons for their mindset. Although the person I???m working with is very friendly, nice, and empathetic, I don???t receive that same level of help. She mostly tells me how strong I am and that I???m doing everything right. Although it???s very nice of her, I???m not sure what that means and I don???t walk away from a session feeling better or feeling like I???m on the road to recovery.

    Everyone I speak with is always helpful and friendly. One lady went out of her way to make sure I could stay with my current therapist and not have to change once my 10 free sessions are completed. I could not thank her enough. It's hard to find someone that you are comfortable talking too and to be able to stay with my current therapist was very important to me. Any of the staff I have dealt with has been outstanding! Thank you for taking care of our Baptist Family.
