"I would like to thank you for Martha. If I believed in angels,
she would be mine. She took me from darkness to the lighter side of life. She has given me the
tools to make it on my own - That, I am grateful for. Outside my daughter and husband, she has
been the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. She has more than tamed my PTSD. Without
her help, I would not have survived."
"Friendly, professional, and overall the most confident
Iʼve felt in getting therapy."
"Innova Recovery has personally been the best care I have
received through therapy. Not only is the staff welcoming but the clinicians really take time to
get to know their clients and genuinely care about helping. Would highly recommend this facility
to anyone going through a tough time."
“I met with an amazing therapist at Innova Recovery who helped
me
see my inner self and make it shine."
"Staff is friendly, helpful, and always recommends various
therapy types based on what is best."
"All the staff I interacted with were patient, understanding,
and kind. The space is clean and feels comfortable and welcoming. I would recommend this office to
anyone!"
“Iʼve learned a lot about myself."
"My therapist at Innova Recovery has been there for me for the
last 8 months. The use of EMDR has really helped me relearn how to respond to feelings I feel
inside. He is patient, kind, has my best interest at heart. He is so smart and does not ever tell
me how to solve problems. He guides me to see what I can choose to do to be grateful and to change
my spiral down."
"I couldnʼt be happier with my progression. My therapist
is knowledgeable, patient, and has made a huge difference in my quality of life."
“Therapy has helped me to be calmer and less
angry."
“Innova Recovery Center has been an amazing resource of
emotional,
spiritual and physical healing. I no longer survive each day but I am now able to thrive
throughout the day. I am not one of the 22 veterans a day that we lose to suicide because Innova
Recovery Center has walked with me through my journey of healing.”
"Innova Recovery Center has been an amazing resource of
emotional, spiritual and physical healing. I no longer survive each day but I am now able to
thrive throughout the day:
My ability to weather the emotional turmoil that can occur when
triggered by various events has not only strengthened but most importantly has expanded.
I can
trust myself again
I can now see my own worth and treasure my worth.
I learned that I
have a voice, a story and purpose and that they are powerful. Iʼve come to understand that my
trauma recovery is nothing to be ashamed or even fearful of.
I can now sit and genuinely smile
not because it will make someone else comfortable or to hide my inner sadness but because I want
to.
I now see that self harm is not an option because I AM WORTHY OF LIVING, LOVING, and
THRIVING.
I am learning to love and accept myself, just for me and no one els
I truly
believe I am not one of the 22 veterans a day that we lose to suicide because Innova Recovery
Center has walked with me through my journey of healing. I am never alone with Innova."
"Living with the after-effects of trauma had made my world very
isolated and small. Participating in Innova Recovery was a very healing and life-changing
experience. Everyone in the program had experienced trauma similar to my own so for the first
time, I felt like I was with people who understood me. The therapists seemed very knowledgeable
and compassionate about PTSD and all the terrible symptoms I was experiencing. I feel that
participation in Innova greatly reduced my unwanted behaviors and symptoms, helped me to feel less
fearful, and made me feel safe to be more open and to make my world larger. I have a chronic pain
condition that has been prohibitive in me receiving treatment in the past so being able to attend
an IOP online, from the comfort of my home, was a lifesaver. I don't believe that I could
have accessed the treatment I needed without this very innovative approach to therapy. I am
grateful to have been able to participate in the Innova program."
"I arrived at Innova Grace the day after Mother's Day. I
told myself it was the gift I was giving not only to me, but to my family as well. I spent 56
days there. Everyday we had amazing groups geared solely toward trauma. This place was unlike
any other place I had been to, there wasn't an eating disorder or substance abuse track.
Groups weren't muddled with an eating disorder and substance abuse message while the trauma
focus was just pushed to the side. It was all trauma, all of the time. Everyone on staff at
Innova truly cares for the client. From the counselors to the nurses and even the chef and
workout instructor! You are truly at home, loved on, SAFE, and cared for every moment at Innova
Grace. When I graduated the program, I had zero nightmares and flashbacks (which has continued
since being home), had an understanding of why I sometimes do the not so helpful things I do,
had a step down into outpatient treatment, and follow up appointments with the awesome
individual counselor to help me transition back into home life. I have had zero instances where
I have turned to maladaptive coping behaviors instead of using the skills I learned, have a
vastly marked decrease in eating disorder behaviors (no trauma stuff, no need to use ED
behaviors to avoid it,) and am sleeping 8 hours through the night with no nightmares. This
program and the people involved in it have truly helped me change my life and live without
hypervigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, intense panic and anxiety, feeling emotionally numb all
of the time, and chronic avoidance of feelings. If you find yourself struggling to live with
PTSD any longer and are just tired and weary, come home to yourself and let Innova Grace be a
safe place to land while you do so."
"When Innova Grace Residential Treatment Center says that it
welcomes you home, itʼs a true statement. On the first day, I was scared because of
stepping into the unknown. Within days after settling in, I felt like I was home, a safe
home. For the following weeks, I was able to focus on myself to understand the trauma I had gone
through, the effects it had on me mentally and physically, and ways I could heal from the pain.
I was immersed in one on one therapy, EMDR, written and artistic homework, DBT and CBT,
meditation, and different groups exploring various topics to learn the healthy skills that would
help me cope with my depression and anxiety. It was like a therapy boot camp because of the deep
immersion of personal work needing to be done to change your life for the better. The house
itself evoked feelings of calm, inviting group spaces and comfortable essential living areas
such as the bedrooms and common areas. It was a safe place to grow but also a safe place to fall
during the hard times one must go through in therapy. Through the support of the Innova Grace
Staff and fellow trauma survivors, I was able to start healing so that I could move forward by
learning how to continue growing through the ups and downs of life. I donʼt think I would
be in recovery now if it wasnʼt for the strength Innova Grace gave me. My life has changed
because of Innova Grace. I want to live now because of what Innova Grace taught me; that I am
worth it, that I am capable of thriving, and that I can live my life with grace."
