“Mark Recker is one of my Favorite people that I have met. He is very opened minded, professional and delivers great advice. The staff as well are very kind and always have a smile on their face. Im so thankful for theo4 kindness.”

“I saw April here a few years ago. She didn't work with my religious beliefs, and she had very strong opinions that she pushed on me. She wasn't very understanding. She kept calling me "honey bunny" and I didn't appreciate that. She told me that I needed to "find a therapist of my same religious belief". She was my third therapist, and I quit therapy for a year after seeing her. I refused to go back, but eventually my psychiatrist convinced me to try again with someone else, and he has been so incredibly helpful and supportive. So looking back, I thought I was too damaged to be helped. But now that I've found the right therapist, I realize how in the wrong she was on many things.”

“First of all I think Pine Rest does great work for the most part. I had Gabrielle Totten PA as my med manager. When I emailed her I was in crises she replied thst I should wait a week to see how I felt and then contact her to set up an earlier appt. A week is forever when you are in crises. I had been on Klonopin when I met her.. I asked for ten pills per month because of times of extreme anxiety that threatened my job and peace of mind and after giving it to me for 2 months, she switched me to Vistaril claiming that Klonopin was addictive. I have never been addicted to anything and was asking consistently for 10 pills per month, no more. I told her that I no longer felt like she had my best interests at heart but was more concerned about her own. When asking me how I was, I said maybe we should be talking about how she was… I am requesting a new med manager.”
