"My therapist helped me learn to deal with the anxiety attacks and she showed me that its not always a bad thing to consider my own needs."

"I learned to be my own person and to not let other people affect the way I feel."

"I began to understand my behavior and the bad choices I made in the past. I was also able to develop new ways of making better choices. I am able to make choices about my life based on how God would want me to respond. I am so grateful for my counselor and Samaritan Counseling for the changes I've been able to make."

"I learned too much to list on an evaluation form, but the main things were how scripture was used as a foundation to explain much of what I was feeling and it makes sense! The second thing was that practical alternative exercises and techniques were offered to relieve my depressive symptoms."

"The talking alone helped me with someone who didn't really know me (like friends and family) and I got to get an outsider's perspective."

"The ability to vent with no fear of rejection enabled me to touch areas I would not have shared otherwise. My therapist's insights and knowledge were extremely helpful. I followed through on all of the suggestions, even if it was difficult, and each step brought me closer to peace."

"I gained a better understanding of God's love, I learned about mature love, and I learned about temptations of sin."

"My counseling sessions were very helpful in that I was able to express my thoughts, fears and concerns freely. The Christian aspect enabled me to gain the strength to overcome my depression. Most of all, my therapist provided a professional and caring atmosphere in the sessions."

"I was able to 'see' my son and myself more realistically, and not 'project' characteristics onto him."

"I learned how to be more open and understanding to my wife's feelings. We were able to discuss recent arguments and learn how we might have approached them more effectively."

"I learned to be independent after my divorce. My therapist knew when to 'listen' and then to 'talk'. I learned so much about how to live for myself and for God that I couldn't begin to explain."

"Our counselor was very good in that we did not feel judged. He was very professional"

"I’m very glad I decided to call your center. After only several visits, I feel much more secure and I have been greatly helped by my counselor. Thank you."

"I was grateful for the kind compassionate care and attention."

"The counselor is an excellent therapist. He makes you feel very comfortable and my husband has also found himself to be at ease talking to him. He has opened many windows, and by doing so, has helped provide much healing."

"My counselor was very professional. Her advice was very helpful and she offered it in a suggestive – not demanding way. She was also a very good listener and I appreciated that."

"I have been helped a great deal and I would highly recommend Samaritan Counseling Center to anyone who asked."

"The counselor I saw was a fantastic listener and has helped me understand aspects of my Christian faith that I was struggling with."
