What can I say to you besides, "THANK YOU". You have really helped me and inspired me to become more open to receiving help and treatment!

"Wow, well my experience at La Ventana has been one heck of a ride! In the beginning, I was very ambivalent and guarded to change and surrendering to the program. And now, looking back, I wish I would have taken each day a little bit more seriously. I have grown to really respect and appreciate the staff at La Ventana and truly believe their heart is to better our lives. La Ventana has changed my life drastically; actually it gave me a glimpse of what having my own life is like again. La Ventana challenged me when I needed to be challenged, called me out when I needed a reality check and always had my best interest, well- being, and recovery at heart. Thank you La Ventana staff for putting up with me for so long”.

"My experience at La Ventana was informative and challenging. The group experience gives the clients support, compassion, and friends. The treatment team challenges each client. Honestly, I have never seen so much of who I am inside and how I feel. The skills I have learned will not only help with my ED , but with all aspects of my life. The gifts/seeds of wisdom have been planted. I just have to nurture my recovery.

"At La Ventana I learned that I can have a life outside of ED. I learned that life won't always be about food, weight, and my body. I finally feel free of my eating disorder and i feel like now I can live my life the way that I want to. La Ventana taught me how to cry and let myself express my emotions instead of restricting them.

"I entered La Ventana after many treatment programs over the past decade or so. I think La Ventana was the missing piece of the puzzle. I needed some more treatment at an outpatient level and was able to work through some tough issues contributing to my eating disorder with a very supportive caring staff of professionals. I am fortunate to have been given one more chance to deal with these unresolved issues in such an unconditional and warm environment."

"Thank you La Ventana for giving me my life back! I did not realize that I could live without ED controlling my thoughts and actions. The staff was professional with a compassion that showed me they cared but were firm. I did the work, I cried, I began eating, and I have come full circle to a new outlook on my life. I dealt with issues that were with me since I was ten years old and the understanding and support from the other girls whom I lived with at La Ventana along with the staff made it possible to free myself from ED. I am so excited as I move forward in my new life. I don't know what else to say except thank you La Ventana, thank you , thank you."

"I appreciate how much the therapists pushed me to express feelings that I didn't even know I had. I got in touch with stuff that had been buried for years. I got my life back here , my job, my family and I actually have a social life now."
