With
God's
help,
I
decided
to
tackle
my
problems
through
therapy.
I
did
this
once
before
in
2017
with
therapist
Brittany,
who
no
longer
works
there.
I
was
a
little
iffy
to
see
a
male
therapist
at
first.
But
after
the
first
two
sessions,
I
was
completely
at
ease.
The
current
therapist,
Michael,
blows
Brittany
away.
Michael
is
passionate
about
what
he
does,
and
is
filled
with
great
advice
based
on
his
life
experiences.
His
groups
are
filled
with
wonderful
tips
on
how
to
engage
in
healthy
communication
(even
how
to
communicate
with
immature,
rude,
and
hateful/judgemental
people).
Michael
has
groups
everyday
Mon-Thursday
10am-12pm,
as
well
as
Tuesday
and
Thursday
dialectical
behavioral
therapy
group
from
2-4pm.
He
is
talking
about
starting
another
group,
and
I
hope
he
does!
He
has
so
much
to
share.
In
my
opinion,
his
groups
could
also
be
considered
"anger
management".
Michael
is
empathetic,
calm,
patient,
helpful,
accepting,
encouraging,
and
filled
with
knowledge.
I
have
met
many
great
people
in
group
as
well.
We
might
feel
like
"misfits"
sometimes,
but
Michael
reassures
us
that
IT
IS
OK
to
be
different.
The
videos
we
watch
are
motivational
and
the
lessons
that
go
along
with
them
are
helpful
beyond
words.
Another
amazing
person
at
lifewell
is
Dorothy.
She
is
FILLED
with
knowledge.
She
might
not
be
able
to
help
you
with
everything,
but
most
likely
knows
the
referral
you
may
need
or
who
you
need
to
talk
to.
She
helps
with
legal
issues,
and
vocational
rehab.
She
is
loving,
caring,
and
passionate
about
what
she
does.
Dorothy
is
the
reason
I
always
came
back
to
lifewell.
She
is
a
tough
cookie,
while
soft
and
gooey
on
the
inside
🍪
I
love
her.
She
convinced
me
to
go
to
a
yearly
dental
event
at
the
state
fair
grounds,
and
I
got
an
amazing
cleaning!
Great
Christmas
gift
for
sure
😁
Other
than
that,
the
case
managers
have
a
high
turnover
rate
(as
expected
in
the
mental
health
field
since
a
lot
of
clients
treat
them
like
garbage).
Right
now
I
don't
really
have
a
case
manager,
and
it
takes
time
and
persistence
to
get
something
done.
The
La
Fiesta
team
does
not
answer
the
phone,
so
I
would
suggest
emailing
who
you
need
to
talk
to.
Cynthia
referred
me
to
Community
43,
and
it
is
an
AMAZING
PROGRAM
that
I
highly
recommend.
Chandra
(I
think
that's
how
you
spell
her
name)
is
who
has
helped
me
the
most
on
my
team.
She
is
new
and
might
not
have
all
the
answers,
but
she
is
dedicated
and
will
find
the
answer.
Again,
I
suggest
emailing
anyone
and
everyone
you
need
to
get
in
touch
with.
...now,
something
that
could
use
improvement...
The
secretaries
are
a
little
moody
and
sometimes
very
rude.
When
I
engage
with
them,
I
try
to
take
a
step
in
their
shoes
and
see
how
badly
they
are
treated
by
clients
everyday.
I
personally
give
them
a
pass..
only
because
Michael
taught
me
how
to
not
take
things
personally.
Now
their
rudeness
doesn't
get
to
me
like
it
used
to.
Still,
I
wish
they
would
be
professional
and
respectful
to
everyone.
I
do
see
a
lot
of
clients
go
off
because
of
their
disrespectful
attitudes.
I
also
think
that
some
of
the
movies
that
are
put
on
in
the
lobby
are
inappropriate
movies
that
trigger
some
people.
I
would
LOVE
it
if
they
had
motivational
videos/Ted
talks
constantly
playing.
PLEASE
do
this
LIFEWELL...
I
think
that
it
would
not
only
help
the
clients,
but
would
help
the
receptionist
stay
happy
and
level-headed.
Also,
I
think
getting
them
an
essential
oil
defuser
would
help
since,
let's
be
real,
stinky
smells
make
us
all
tense.
They
sit
between
two
bathrooms,
and
that
stinks.
Thank
you
for
all
the
services
Lifewell,
and
a
huge
thank
you
to
all
the
loving
and
caring
staff
@
lifewell.
God
bless
you
all.
