The Center Saved Me
The Center saved my life. The entire staff is incredible and very knowledgeable. I was able to begin my journey of healing from an abusive relationship. I was able to begin my journey of learning to love myself, learning to be comfortable with who I am, and not needing to lean on other people for approval or validation. I highly recommend The Center.

The Center is a Slam Dunk
This company's practices are directly aligned with their values. They truly want to help. No place is perfect, of course, but my 6 weeks at The Center helped me get my life back. The organization specializes in DBT, which I believe will prove invaluable for me in navigating my depression. The Center is a particular good fit for people of the Christian faith; however, as a non-Christian, I can say wholeheartedly that I was treated with respect and guided through a comprehensive treatment plan that helped me grow as a human being. Of almost equal importance is the community you create with other clients -- I have formed long-lasting bonds with many of my fellow clients, and their laughter and empathy helped me get through the rough periods. If you are struggling with mental illness, trauma, or addiction, The Center can help you.

I Love the Center
The Center has done so much for me! It changed my life. From Dr Jantz on down to the front office staff are first class. This is a great place to get the help you need and set a foundation to springboard a new beginning. All the clinicians are master-leveled and Believers. Great place of HOPE

I applaud your courage to seek help and if we can assist you while on this healing journey, please let us know.

Left Not Feeling Healed
I urge you to take your healing into your own hands at The Center and ask for what you need. If your roommates are not a good match, tell your main therapist. If a fellow client in one of your groups or groups is causing problems for you, tell your main therapist. If you are not receiving the treatment you expected to receive, tell your main therapist. If they keep messing up your lunches, tell your main therapist. Your treatment team may not do anything, which is a big problem right there, but you MUST stand up for yourself or your time there will be wasted. You must be your own advocate to get what you need at this facility. Also, if you do not like dark skies and rain for days on end, it's probably best that you do not go to The Center. Keep in mind that the closest place to buy groceries is at the hardware store, which is within walking distance. Otherwise, you have to catch a bus. The town is a bit expensive with regard to food and clothing. There is not a lot to do at night unless you go to the coffee shop owned by wife of the owner of The Center, the Starbucks, the library or the gym. God is heavily focused on, so if that is a problem for you, you may want to choose another facility. Overall, I left with some new skills, but in no way do I feel like I got what I paid for.

Dear Bethanne,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We were please to have you at The Center 18 months ago, and hope you are doing very well.
For those who might read your review, we would like to provide additional information on how we work to accommodate our clients who request living arrangements, and also provide some information about activities and shopping in the small town of Edmonds.
We encourage all clients to update us on their living quarters and their relationship with roommates, if they have them. We want to ensure each client is comfortable and benefitting from their environment. If an individual would like a change in venue, we are very happy to make accommodations as long as room availability permits. With options from individual rooms to having roommates in several different condominium-style housing, we have a good mix of options available.
Edmonds is a quiet, quaint village conducive for treatment and healing. It has a nice variety of 16 well regarded restaurants within walking distance. One evening a week, The Center treats clients to a clients-only social event at the local coffee shop, just steps away from the facility.
Our nutrition department creates breakfast and lunches each day and works to accommodate specific diet requirements if requested by a client. There is a stand alone grocery store three blocks away from The Center with other shops co-located with the grocery store. Our dietary team also provides transportation to other grocery stores, if desired.
It is true that the town of Edmonds is not known for its nightlife, but we believe the quietness and solitude of the environment is more ideal for treatment than a more urban, loud and bustling city core.
Again, thank you for the review, and we HOPE your journey can be empowered by your stay with us.
Blessings,
Renee, Alumni Director

The Center staff is compassionate and …
The Center staff is compassionate and professional. They are trustworthy and committed to helping their clients succeed. This was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. My thought processes were adversely affecting every part of my life. My time here has transformed me. For the first time in my life, I feel comfortable in my own skin. I learned the importance of self-compassion here. I understand what I need to do to maintain a sense of peace and order in my life regardless of my circumstances - personal and professional. My walk with Christ is renewed. If you're not a Christian, rest assured The Center's approach is based on scientific research. They draw from leaders in the field of psychology to customize your treatment to meet your needs. Your spiritual beliefs/preferences will be honored.
If you feel like your life is tangled up, if you feel overwhelmed by your circumstances, if you've lost hope, this is where you can find insights and skills to help you change the trajectory of your life. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering The Center to call admissions and discuss your situation. My healing began with that first call.
