Still Mind

My experience with Still Mind was rather well-rounded. It had its challenges, but that seems to be expected for residential mental health facilities … especially when meeting different clients with different experiences. The staff was largely great, especially the techs, Ms. Bella, Sara and the therapists, who support their clients to a great degree. Ms. Ramona does a great job of aiding the case management side and helping clients get what they need, and there are different resources/ways to get help if you’re there to receive it and the feedback that comes with it, like brain mapping. You have to be your own biggest advocate for it to be worthwhile. Techs like Kelvin, Paul, Ms. V, Josh, Joe, Greg, Angel and Angie were always available and happy to help when they could. Some of them were approachable like therapists because they want you to get the help you need. That requires focus and self-discipline. While nothing was perfect, there were people who were receptive to providing support for those who asked for it and worked with the team there, which should be what anyone asks for when seeking help for depression or anything similar/worse.

The best decision I could have made for my family and myself. If you put in the work and take advantage of the services provided, you will leave a different person. The therapy sessions (individual and group) provide the knowledge to change your thinking and behavior, combined with your own self awareness of what has failed you in the past, and creating a plan for success moving forward. The staff is incredible and they are eager to help those who put in the effort to change themselves for the better. Still Mind will forever have a special place in my heart.
