Testimonials

“While unsure and scared of what group therapy or intensive therapy looked like before starting, I was pleasantly surprised by this program. I enjoyed getting to know the perspectives and personalities of the incredibly supportive group and the therapist that lead us. I also found the way lessons were presented alongside a textbook useful and clear. My individual therapist was also skilled and compassionate and provided support for some deeper things than I could discuss with the group.”
“Thira is a safe place to grow and the staff helped provide /on/ support when needing a break from group activities. I am leaving Thira confident in myself and my disordered eating thoughts have taken a backseat. I feel like I have control of my life again, I highly recommend.”
“Working with Thira has been life changing. These are skills that I plan to use for the rest of my life. The program requires a lot of hard work that is well worth the time and effort.”
“The DBT program at Thira has changed my life. I have a new sense of control over, and a deeper understanding of, my emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I use the skills every day and will continue to do so moving forward. The material was taught well and there was caring support from counselors throughout. I highly recommend this program.”
“My therapist Dee is fantastic, they were able to help me work through small and big problems, Dee was able to explain many many valuable things that I wish I knew sooner. It was so helpful to have a therapist who I have things in common with and someone who is incredibly well-versed in neurodivergent people and disorders. I have had about 20 therapists in the past two years and Dee has been my favorite and most helpful out of all of them. They deserve a huge raise. Here are the staff members I have found to be incredible and overqualified for their positions whom have helped me drastically in my recovery, Makela, Rosalle, Chariote, Jacqs, Dee, Morgen, Remus, Kailey, Katie, Val, my overall experience has been wonderful so that use you thira my life will literally never be the same.”
“Thira has by far been the most helpful therapy treatment. The way staff teach is so effective, they don’t just teach from the book they put in effort to plan activities to help the clients learn easier. The level system is also fantastic and works very well. The food is nutritious and yummy, mindful movement is also very helpful. I found that my mental health improved during mindful movement.”
“I came to Thira at a very scary time in my life. I was immediately supported there and comforted by the setting and the people. The skills I learned will stay with me the rest of my life, and the people I met there will be in my heart.”
“Thira was a really welcoming and safe environment. The people there met me where I was at, which made treatment a good experience.”

“THIRA health has been more than helpful in aiding me in treatment. It was most reassuring that I had a team of professionals that not only communicated with, but also between themselves to completely understand my diagnoses, treatment options, treatment planning, and outpatient continuation.”

“I am very pleased with the setup at THIRA. This was my first time in a group therapy program and to an extent, I didn’t know what to expect. They are kind and thorough with going over the material in the book and working with us to help apply DBT skills. I think it’s the combination of group and individual therapy that really pushed this program to be as helpful as I feel it was. I think the addition of some CBT in individual therapy allowed me to become aware of and voice my emotions about situations that would admittedly feel a bit out of place in a group setting. I felt if really allowed me to acknowlegde myseft so I could then go on to more effectively give time and effort to skills and working on me in the present.”

“The THIRA IOP program was a great continued support as I was stepping down from PHP. Being able to participate in a program that was offered online was exactly what I needed to help me reintegrate. All the staff were professional, empathetic, and kind. I would recommend this program to anyone who is stepping down from a PHP program and needs a good support system and structure. The program itself is incredibly affordable and their administrative staff make the process of working with insurance etc. a breeze. I am grateful for this experience and will be able to venture forward with confidence in the skills that I have learned and built mastery in.”
“I’m grateful for being able to have so much time with skilled Thira therapist! The skills-oriented aspect of DBT really aligns with my learning style; it’s tangible, efficient, and is beneficial for all aspects of life and communication with others.”
“I am so grateful to THIRA. I now have the skills to better my own life and to help me succeed. While I wish that all my problems were solved, I’m proud that I now have the resources to make a difference in my life.”

“Thira helped me get back on my feet and get my life back on track. I started Thira as a shell of myself and am feeling so much better already. I’m so glad I did this program.”
“Thank you for showing me these skills in such a safe place. Thank you for helping me understand myself better, notice, love, accept, and then release judgment. Thank you for teaching me to reconnect my body, live in the present and feel my agency, to take up my own sacred space to live in my core values.”
“What a journey. Thank you, Thira for helping me to build a life worth living. This was hard in all the best ways. The impact this program has had on me is life-changing and I will be forever grateful. Every single member of the staff here is fully committed to changing lives and it shows. I wish everyone had a chance to do this program! I am sad to leave but I am so excited to experience life the way I always wished I could.”

Not only am I more than satisfied with all the skills I’ve earned, but I’m leaving with the most special connections and new friendships. THIRA will forever mark one of the most incredible chapters of healing and self-growth in my life. I’ve never felt so ready and equipped to take on whatever life brings next.

“Thank you so much! Thira really helped me with my transition to living mindfully and coping with a life-shattering diagnosis. I would definitely recommend this lOP to someone that has unmanageable mental health symptoms. I felt so seen, safe, and understood. Thira is a revolving saloon door and I will be back if I need some more support with my diagnosis and I would be happy to return! Thank you so much! Words cannot express how happy I am to now call myself a DBT student and I now have OPTIONS IN LIFE TO CHOOSE FROM. The reality isn’t all horror. That is an indescribable blessing.”

“Thira Health changes lives. This facility is filled with people who want to support and see people get better. And it really shows. The food is delicious and comforting. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Every step of the way I had someone by my side to help me get the most out of the process. The work can feel heavy at times but there is no shortage of laughs and smiles to go around. I would absolutely recommend Thira to anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, or just struggling to find the will to go on. I feel tremendously different now than I did when I first joined the PHP program. My relationship with myself and my family is forever changed. I now use skills on a daily basis often without noticing. And although my journey is not over, I am inspired to keep going. Now I believe that I CAN get better. And that alone is priceless. Thank you Thira”

“Thira got me back on my feet while working through my ED. I have felt so safe here and the staff truly want to help you not be they have to but be they want to. I’m leaving Thira a better person and I’m leaving with really helpful DBT skills. I don’t know where I would be today without Thira. It truly saved my life. Thank you to all the staff for helping me through my journey.”
“After 10 years struggling to find the right treatment for my unique situation, I have found relief and freedom from the pain and suffering that had taken over my life! Thira residential program saved my life, and my time in their PHP program has helped me to rebuild a life I am excited to return to. With compassion and care, the staff helped me along the way! I have never felt safer and more seen in any medical environment. Thira truly cares and I am forever grateful! I recommend DBT for anyone looking for an anchor in the stormy seas of life.”
“I really appreciate the therapists of Thira Health. Every therapist that facilitates the group lessons in the Intensive Outpatient care program always gave me good insight and perspective on how to care for myself. I’ve gained many skills from the Dialectical Behavior Therapy that I was taught, the skills I’ve learned from DBT have allowed me to have a voice again. Truly grateful for Thira Health’s therapists. Thank you!”
“I don’t know what to put here, but I thought that THIRA was helpful in helping me to better understand myself and why I feel the way I do, and also in helping my parents to understand me and my mental health needs.”
“During my time in THIRA’s Residential and PHP programs, I found out how joyful life can be when my body is fueled.”

“Thira has been a 7 week journey for me. I don’t know everything but I have a workable foundation of DBT skills that I can work with to lower my suds and to prevent my triggers and when my tiggers are pushed I have learned ways to help lessen my reaction and to rexoni when I have distorted thoughts and when I am caught up in negative self talk. It has been alot of work but it is totally worth it. The people I met in class were wonderful individuals. They made me feel welcomed and included.”

“Thira is a very good program for those who struggle with emotion regulation and severe anxiety depression etc. I learned so many things in this program. DBT skills have opened up a whole new thought process for my emotional mind. And how I handle each situation in my daily life. Thira does a great job on making sure you feel heard and have a safe place to open up your emotional wounds, and help you heal those wounds. They give you the tools and as long as you keep in mind that you’re not supposed to be fixed by the end of this course. But just a new out look and new skills to keep working on and implementing in your life. You will have success in this program.”

“EIOP has definitely been a positive experience overall. I was in a dark place before beginning program, and now I feel I have the skills the navigate the craziness of life. I feel like it’s getting easier to listen to my body and wise mind, to identify emotions and how to approach them to prevent extreme thoughts and emotions. My self-care has improved ten fold and as a result I have less burnout and less down days (and I recoup faster now). I understand better what my cues are and what I need to do to feel healthy and safe within myself. After so many years of being in survival mode 24/7, I feel like I am starting to break free from just surviving and have begun living my life with less burden and more gentleness towards myself. For the first time in my life I feel I am meeting myself and I’m loving who I am and who I’m becoming and I am beginning to feel more excited about the future (something I had never even thought much about, or what I wanted it to look like). I acknowledge that I’ve come a long way through program and have grown and learned a lot, and that I also still have more hard work and learning ahead of me to continue improving my health. I feel like I’m graduating with the skills, treatment, and resources I need to engage in the next steps of my health journey. All staff members have been exceptionally supportive, compassionate, knowledgeable, and have created so much safety within group and in my individual therapy. I am set up with treatment post-graduation that I feel good about. DBT has been the first type of therapy that has actually helped me, so thank you very much for everything! – H.Q.”

“I learned so much from this program and the people involved. I am so much more self-confident now, and I think my interpersonal skills have improved a lot too. I learned how to value myself, and to stand up for myself without causing unnecessary harm to anyone. I’ve made friendships that I hope last (and I can honestly say I think they will). My individual therapist was so good at making things make more sense to me, and helping me see things in a different light, and my group facilitator really has a gift for helping people feel safe, valid, and like they’re making progress even when it’s hard to see that. I love my group so much. I feel very accomplished and I am proud of myself for all the work I’ve done, and I know I’m going to miss it. Oh no, I’m getting choked up. Thira has made such a big difference in my life, I feel like life has finally returned to my eyes. I would absolutely recommend it to just about anyone who is looking to improve their life. To my individual therapist and my group facilitator, Thank You so much.”
“If you are struggling and need help in your darkest days, this is the place to be. The love and support is top notch and they take great pride in what they do. DBT skills have made the world of difference in my life. I would be truly lost had I not come here. I just wish it was longer because I don’t want to say goodbye.”

I appreciated all the care and structure, it provided stability and a very good reset for me. Tori, Linda, Brianna, Edgar, Val, all of them were great! And all others as well.

Thank you so much for your care and respect. DBT has help me to move on with a restart for my life.”

Thira MIOP was the reparenting crash course that I needed. I am leaving the program with a better relationship to myself and tools to better communicate and navigate my emotions that I intend to integrate into the rest of my life. The facilitators were so thoughtful, heart-forward, and wise, and the folks in my group were incredibly validating and supportive. I am so grateful for my experience here!
