The Middle Path in Chattanooga

“The Middle Path is life-changing. I am incredibly thankful someone at the hospital gave us their pamphlet. My daughter attended the IOP program first, and it helped her so much that when I faced my own crisis, I decided to go through the adult IOP program myself. The skills you pick up in this program are powerful.”

“I’m about five years late leaving this review because, honestly, it took me a long time to believe I was truly better. Middle Path saved my life. When I started, I did not want to be in therapy at all. I was resistant, exhausted, and not convinced anything would help. The team met me where I was and didn’t pressure me to feel differently. They encouraged me to just show up and go through the motions. That alone felt manageable when nothing else did. Over time, something changed. Slowly, without me even realizing it at first, I did start to feel better. The DBT skills became second nature, my emotions became more manageable, and life stopped feeling so impossible. Looking back now, I can say with certainty that Middle Path played a major role in my recovery. If you’re hesitant, doubtful, or showing up with zero hope, this place understands that, and they can still help you.”

“The middle path is amazing! They have helped me so much! Jeff is truly an awesome person! And my therapist Amy was the best! She was so good at teaching the DBT and helped me through my hardest time in my life. Amanda was fantastic too! I love the middle path and I miss the people there too. I wish I could go back!”

“The Middle Path changed my life. God worked a miracle in my life sending me to them. The tools they give you are life-changing; DBT works, if you work it! I have PTSD, generalized anxiety, and persistent depression. I can honestly say I never thought I was going to get better. I had received some DBT skills before, but no one had ever taught them to me. Ami was amazing; she knew the skills very well and even uses them herself. She always shows everyone in the group loving-kindness, no matter what they did or didn't do! Jeff, the man at the front desk, is friendly and kind. He always brightened my day! The whole building is incredibly peaceful. Tranquil blue walls cool you down, and there are uplifting quotes and cute turtles everywhere. I felt safe, comfortable, and seen here. My group was small which made me feel safer to open up. I made monumental strides in my mental health journey through the Middle Path. My life truly got better! I recommend the Middle Path to anyone struggling with mental health issues who can't get ahold on life. I pray you walk away changed and healing.”
