Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
Posted on Marcia DaddsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a registered dietitian in private practice who has seen clients who have stepped down from Prosperity’s PHP and IOP programs, I have been impressed with the growth and change these clients report after spending time in the care of the Prosperity team. Clients have had high praise for the dietitians, the therapists and other members of their care team.Posted on C TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough words to describe how exceptional the team at Prosperity is. They are compassionate, professional, respectful, knowledgeable, holistic, and sincere to provide a few. I have been amazed by the care my loved one has received and their ability to help her begin healing and the road to recovery. I have complete faith in the care she receives while there. They have communicated with us along the way and have quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. They have been key in my loved one getting her life back. I write this as a family member, but my loved one will tell you the very same. They are top notch and exceptional at the care they provide their clients.Posted on Elisabeth PetersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prosperity Eating Disorder Center provides exceptional care for individuals needing a higher level of eating disorder treatment. The clients I have referred to Prosperity have made significant progress in their recovery journeys and have returned to outpatient care well-prepared and equipped to reintegrate into their daily lives. The admissions process at Prosperity has consistently met my professional standards—timely, organized, and compassionate. Their staff are reliable, accessible, and always willing to answer questions or provide additional support as needed. I have consistently found the team at Prosperity to treat clients with dignity, respect, and professionalism. Feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the individualized and high-quality treatment they receive. I trust Prosperity to provide excellent, evidence-based care, and I will continue to refer clients without hesitation. I highly recommend Prosperity Eating Disorder Center to anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate eating disorder treatment. --Elisabeth Peterson, RDN, CEDS-CPosted on Hannah Parker CanadyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As someone who is now 26 and has struggled with an eating disorder since around age 8-10, I could not feel more confident in recommending the team at Prosperity to anyone seeking eating disorder treatment for themselves or their children. Every single person here is kind and compassionate, and also extremely knowledgeable in any and all eating disorders, no matter who may end up being part of your treatment team you will be in the best hands possible that will equip you with the tools you need to work on your recovery, and they will all go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable during what can be an extremely difficult and emotional time of your life. I personally had an intake appointment with Heather and Gianna and they were both respectful and showed understanding while also helping me navigate the complexity and difficulty of reaching out for help for the first time. I had the absolute pleasure of having Amanda as my dietician and she was always understanding of my struggles and extremely thorough in providing resources, tips, and tools on how to best work through the challenges I had been facing with food. Natalie was my therapist and also the art therapist for all our group sessions, she was caring and compassionate from the very start and went above and beyond to help me in developing healthy coping skills and learning to reframe disordered thoughts. Savannah was the best cook I could have wished for, she took all the negatives that our eating disorders would throw at her and turned them into positives, always being a bright light at what was possibly the worst time for all of us, meal time. Her extensive knowledge and cooking skills meant that despite what my ED wanted me to believe, I was always guaranteed a nourishing delicious home-cooked meal. Stacey is also an extremely well knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate provider and was always great at explaining everything to do with my treatment plan and the decisions being made by my providers. Were I to personally sing every single staff member’s praises this review would turn into a book, but I do want to recognize them all individually for their contributions to my personal experience being so overwhelmingly positive. Nya and Kesha were amazing techs, always bringing a joyful refreshing take to our meal times and treatment hours. Amanda, Rachel, Mary, and Haley led extremely valuable nutrition groups both in and out of the kitchen. Gianna, Emily, Shauna, and Ashley also led group sessions on interpersonal relationships, body image, coping skills, and more and provided us with the tools to embrace ourselves as we are and be equipped to challenge our ED thoughts and choose recovery. Joan was an amazing yoga instructor, that brought so much warmth, understanding, passion, and love to her practice every week. Lastly, but not at all least in importance, was Sherry - her unwavering and radiating joy was a bright light at the end of an extremely dark tunnel. Her support at mealtimes was crucial, and her ability to remain positive when dealing with such hard and triggering topics never ceases to amaze me. In summary, if you or your child are struggling with an ED, I would love to encourage you to take the first step towards recovery by choosing the team at Prosperity ????Posted on Haley HavighurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked here for the last 3 years (l recently moved states) and could not have asked for a better team of clinicians. Everyone on staff truly cares so deeply about the work they do, and are extremely knowledgable on eating disorders. They work to individualize treatment for each client as best as they can. Very supportive to families of those with eating disorders as well. Many of the clients I worked with at Prosperity noted it was a safe and healing environment for them and I can see why. You have found the right place!!!Posted on Amy NolteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is such an amazing treatment center- filled with beautiful spaces and kind, knowledgeable people! In a world where finding help for eating disorders is difficult- Prosperity makes it so much easier! Everyone there was so kind and helpful- really going above and beyond to help our daughter! Mary and Heather were wonderful- truly a light in the darkness!!Posted on Jasmine TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel so thankful to have received treatment for my ED at Prosperity. The clinicians and techs are incredibly accommodating, I can’t imagine a better facility than Prosperity. I have celiac, and while in treatment had to get my wisdom teeth removed, and all staff was supportive and helpful when my meal plan needed adjustments. They are passionate and compassionate, and truly want to see clients live their best lives. From entering Prosperity to leaving, I am more confident in who I am and I know more about myself. I feel empowered to adequately nourish myself, and to give myself grace on this long and difficult road. Treatment at Prosperity changed my life for the better in ways I didn’t expect. I feel so lucky to have the resource in my local community. I have and will continue to recommend it to my friends and family. A lifetime of thanks to everyone, thank you for helping me get my life back ❤️ All of their prices and policies are on their website, and they were told to me in my first phone call. It might seem strange to pay for an intake, but it’s very involved and you essentially go through your life’s history of eating, so I understand why it requires payment. Prosperity’s business staff is just as accommodating as the clinicians. They understand the financial burden of treatment, and make it as easy as it can be. I was well set up to continue my outpatient recovery as well.Posted on Kerri WoodwardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff and support is incredible. This place is a blessing for so many.Posted on Kavin BahraniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing providers and staff (as simple as that)! Y'all rock!!!
