The Center • A Place of HOPE Reviews 

I was amazed at the treatment I received at The Center. I went in for a problem with prescription pills and got help for that and so much more. It was my first experience with DBT and I learned useful tools, to work through all of life's stresses. I am currently going through a divorce and if it wasn't for The Center, I think I would be struggling immensely, however I am working through this difficult time. I would recommend this place for anyone that is in need of help in any areas of life.

The Center was amazing! Everybody there from the front desk staff to the therapists and clinicians was helpful, friendly, and invested in my recovery. The groups were extremely helpful. Overall, it was a very positive, helpful experience.

The Center has completely changed my life. When I reached out to them I felt broken but held onto one last hope for healing, and I'm so glad I trusted them with my life. Before I felt that I was only just existing in the world and would never have control of my mind, my past, or my emotions. After completing 5 weeks I am happy to say that I finally feel joy and happiness and my life has meaning once again. The staff, from the the admissions process all the way until my discharge, were amazing and made me feel supported and cared for and I'm so blessed to have had true chance to become a part of The Center family. You will not regret your time here but always remember that you get out of it all that you are willing to put into it, and you are worth it.

Honestly, a miracle. By no means is it a permanent cure. But nothing is. The Center helped change my entire perspective on life. You get out what you put into your time there. I'm optimistic about my life, and I feel a semblance of peace for the first time in years. If YOU really want help and YOU really want to get better, go to The Center. YOU will.

Your life will forever be changed by the knowledge you will receive at The Center. The people starting from the counselors to house keeping are part of the wonderful gift of compassion, healing, validation and joy you will receive here. I will never be the same. Love this place!

I was at a very low place in my life before I decided to come to The Center and without hesitation it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. The skills and progress I made here was unlike anything I have ever had before. I learned so much about myself and developed friendships that will last a life time and I no longer feel so alone. The staff was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better or more caring team behind my back during my journey. Thanks to The Center, I have been able to get back on my feet and face the world with a completely new, hopeful perspective. No matter your age or your struggles, I guarantee that The Center can help you, I truly recommend it 100%, it could save your life as it did mine.

My experience was amazing! I think the staff did an excellent job and I really got a lot out of ever class that I had. I like the fact that our teams were picked just for us. I left there feeling confident that I could face the challenges that life may throw at me going forward because of the tools that I gained while at The Center.

going through an extremely bad time in my life. I had SOOOO many events happen to me in a very short period of time. Ranging from the horror of losing a child, the shock of losing a family member, losing a job, losing my house, to struggling to hold my marriage together I had basically given up. I believe that if I hadn't gone to The Center, I wouldn't be here today. I wouldn't be working toward and believing in my eventual recovery.

If you think you need help, If your depression, anxiety, addiction, anger is ruining your life ( or you're starting to think "It's not worth it"), then I would urge your to give these folks a call. I genuinely believe they can help.

Dr. Jantz has assembled an incredibly dedicated and caring staff. The facility and accommodations are top-notch. Keep up the great work!

Words cannot express how helpful and positive my experience at The Center was. I spent 4 weeks in beautiful Edmonds, and was kept busy 6 days learning boundaries skills, co-dependency, coping with depression & anxiety, nutrition,faith groups,chemical dependency and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Every single staff member is highly trained, extremely knowledgeable, very caring and compassionate. They are so very careful and protective of triggers. The housing is either right across the street or just down the street a few blocks, all clean and comfortable. The views of the harbor are so awesome, and the town is so quaint and charming. You can walk everywhere and get in pretty darn good shape! They are also contracted with a private gym that is state-of-the art with a pool and racquetball courts, plus tons of classes. I went every chance I got! It was very hard to leave this place when the time came, but I took comfort in knowing that I received all the skills I needed to arm myself when I went back home. I've made new friends for life and learned so much about myself in the process.

I can tell you that the staff at The Center are knowledgeable, and truly care. It all starts at the top. Dr. Jantz is an honorable man and leads his staff by example. If you are hurting and don't know where to start I would absolutely recommend that you give The Center a call. The world needs more people like Dr. Jantz.

If your in need of help and want to change your life this is the place to do it at. It changed mine and im forever grateful.

I found The Center very helpful in me overcoming depression. In four weeks there was a marked difference in me. Thank you Center staff!

I was here for 6 weeks and I have to say it changed my life. I have learned the skills to cope with loss and the skills to recognize and catch my self defeating thoughts. I am a new person.

Making the choice to go to The Center was the best thing I decided to do for myself! I didn't come to work on issues from everyone else or for everyone else. It was about me and learning how to identify and express my emotions. The Center staff is truly genuine and caring. Even if someone wasn't on my designated team, they were still on my team because they truly cared and wanted to see me succeed. Flying 1700 miles from my family was very scary in itself, but my housemates and all the other clients really helped me adjust. As I went to different shops within Edmonds, I was pleased with how nice people were. Even with all the rain, it still felt like a breath of fresh air. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of of you at The Center! Dr. Jantz is as nice as his photo shows! He cares about each of us that enter the building. Thank you so much for the opportunity to come work with your staff! If you are looking for a facility that treats you as a person rather than a statistic, give them a call!

I did extensive research on The Center A Place of Hope and watched testimonial after testimonial and read review after review. I was frustrated with not knowing what was going on with me. Personal struggles with my mental and physical wellness plagued me to the point where I was self destructive in my relationships with others, feeling worthless at my job; a whole laundry list of things. However, when I flew across the country from Indiana I found this journey was about ME...I was full of SHAME. My team worked together for me to truly understand the link between my physical and mental help. The whole body approach is truly a unique one. As a 43 year old single working mom of three, I came back with the tools to truly know ME. I learned to breathe, make mindful decisions, and that I can choose what the next chapters of my life will look like...and I CHOOSE HOPE.

When I arrived at the Center I was broken, a mess, and wondering what would become of my life. The staff at the center rushed into action and helped me begin to slowly feel again.

I would highly recommend the center if your in need,or feeling hopeless, lost, or broken. In the midst of my brokenness I experienced hope and the staff helped give me the tools for success outside the Center.

My experience at the Center helped restore hope to my hopelessness and I would recommend this program to anyone in need.

Thanks Center, because of you I got my life back truly!

The Center a Place of Hope is a dynamic place to go for treatment. Professional well trained staff, great support system during your stay and then after also
The way The Center is set for living arrangements is perfect for keeping your independence and being responsible for yourself at the same time. Very comfortable living arrangements Also the village of Edmonds is fantastic. Lots of walking in this quaint village. You are close by the waterfront with an outstanding view of the mountains
Definitely a 5 star facility !

The Center - A Place of Hope exceeded my expectations as far as the material that I learned in classes. The DBT skills and the Boundaries classes were the most helpful. Some of the other classes for coping with loss were extremely helpful as well. I liked the one-on-one counseling and wish I could have had more of that. The staff is very caring and very attentive to the needs of the clients. The continuous encouragement to use our voices to say what we needed was a good reminder as well. Good communication skills and also learning what is okay and what is not okay in a relationship was eye-opening. I enjoyed interacting with other clients. We were taught how to exercise and eat healthfully. I liked the spiritual aspect, but one of the spiritual leaders was a little weird and not on target with what I personally believe. I like how they teach self-esteem skills, but I do wish they would teach self-esteem in the context of identity in Christ and what He did for us. Overall, my four week experience was a good one. My only suggestions would be that I would have liked to have had access to my cell phone on weekends to talk to my family and friends - I see no harm in this. I also would have liked a little more down time during the weekday to process what I was learning. My re-entry back into the real world after I got home was extremely difficult. After talking with other clients that I had made friends with, they also had a rough time returning home. I would have liked a few follow-up phone calls with The Center to help me through the transition.

When I went to The Center, I was broken, bewildered, and filled with the belief that hope no longer existed. I had been in and out of several inpatient units; I had seen every psychiatrist, psychologist, and psychotherapist within a 100 mile radius. I had been given every medication available. Still, I just kept getting worse.

My wife actually did the research, and she found The Center. I went more to appease her, as I had given up. I told myself that I would go not as a last resort, but as a last act.

To say The Center saved my life would be an understatement.

For the first time in my counseling experience, I found people who took a true interest in me as an individual. They cried with me, laughed with me, prayed with me, and, most importantly, stayed with me every step of my journey!

I experienced The Center at the lowest point in my life, and I left with the tools, the belief, and the support I needed to get better.

I will be forever grateful for the amazing men and women at The Center who have dedicated their lives to helping people. They truly are HOPE personified!
