At first I was uncomfortable, but the therapists are real with you and I became very comfortable with them. They are/were a big part of helping me turn my life around. I will be forever grateful for their guidance.
The program helped me learn more about myself and the values I find most important in my life. I feel a lot closer to my parents now and we are able to share our emotions with each other in healthy ways. All of the therapists, Dr. Mar, and my peers in program contributed to my recovery process and I am so thankful!
After multiple negative experiences with other programs, Valenta's staff finally helped my daughter overcome her eating disorder. From the very first phone call through her entire treatment, the kindness and care my daughter and I received was excellent. I am so glad we found Valenta!
The social worker at Valenta helped me get approved for treatment and answered all of my questions in ways I could actually understand. I struggle with advocating for myself and Valenta took care of it all for me so I could focus on getting well.
Valenta supported me in addressing the root cause of my ED rather than just focusing on the behaviors. I believe this will help me to stay in recovery and reduces my risk of relapse. I am grateful for the safe space Valenta provided for me to heal.
Valenta helped me realize that even if I feel uncomfortable in my body, I can still make healthy choices that lead me toward the life that I want one day. They helped me see that my eating disorder was taking away the things I wanted, and I learned how to take back my power, even on days that I feel self-concsious, worried, or sad.
Thank you, Valenta for helping me get healthy again. I have more energy now to do the things I used to and I know how to stay healthy.
Even though I didn't think I had an eating disorder at first, Dr. Mar and the therapists helped me see how it was impacting my life. I used to let what other people said to me determine how I felt about myself. I learned that I can choose things for myself that are healthy, and to surround myself with people who support me.
