Testimonials
"Tami took the time to fully understand my history, goals and needs. She didn't just see me as a patient, she saw me as a whole person. Knowing I'm truly seen and treated with compassion and understanding has been a huge part of my successful treatment."
Ben, West Des Moines
"Tami instantly connected with my teenager and was kind and sensitive to his needs. My son was very against seeking treatment until he met Tami and felt understood. I am very thankful for Tami and as my son said it best "It is great to know there are still good people in this world that truly want to help others."
