Anonymous Client

[Review of Alicia Sager, LCSW]

“Alicia is wonderful! She helped me get back on my feet and find my way when I was in a dark place. Alicia demonstrated care and compassion, a sincere interest in my wellbeing, and a kind optimism that motivated me to keep on going with recovery, even when things were tough. They said that one of their favorite things was seeing the life slowly return to a client’s eyes after months of suffering and that really moved me. I believe they truly go the extra mile for every one of their clients and I could not think of a more capable practitioner to help someone navigate through and overcome life’s challenges. Thank you Alicia, you are awesome and I wish you the very best.”

“I have known Arin for almost two years now. Our company has been working with Arin and her colleagues to provide Alpha-Stim devices (medical equipment) to their clients who use them to enhance the benefits of behavioral therapy in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia and depression. Arin has always been a model mental health provider. She would frequently contact us to make sure her clients get their devices in a timely manner and, at the best price possible, during the week and also on weekends. During the course of our business we frequently interact with Arin’s clients who equally have nothing but great things to share about Arin’s clinical work and her true dedication to her clients.”

[Review of Ashley Tidwell, MA]

 

  

“Before meeting Ashley, I seriously never thought anyone could help me become even remotely okay with the idea of being okay..I believed I was unforgivable and had nowhere to go but down.. over the last year of working with her, I have slowly started to forgive myself..It has been a struggle of a journey but I never believed a year ago I could feel self compassion..now even though it can be hard, I’m able to look back at myself and see that I am just human and worthy of care..Ashley has been an incredibly supportive, compassionate, incredible therapist and I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to work on themselves the kind way.”

[Review of Arin Wallington, MA, LPC, NCC]

“I have met many different social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists over the years, but no one comes close to what Arin Wallington has been able to provide. Arin has the ability to help others realize that they have the ability to control how they deal with life’s stressors. She helps clients develop a stronger insight of triggers that have caused habitual patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors. The advantage of using EMDR—versus that of clinicians who are just are quick to diagnose or pathologize—is that you gained considerable awareness of these old patterns and replace them with new ones in a very short period of time. Arin Wallington is a naturally gifted therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone who has been through long-term therapy with others, only to remain ‘stuck’ with the same, repeating life patterns. She’s amazing.”

“It is my professional opinion that Arin Wallington is a hard worker, continually pushes herself to gain new insight and skills in her field, and deeply cares for others both inside and outside the workplace.”

Dr. Elsbeth Martindale, PsyD

“It will be an honor to have her [Arin Wallington] practicing in our field.”

Ray MacDonald, LCSW, Clinical Supervisor, Columbia Community Mental Health

“Arin was able to develop a solid clinical relationship and rapport with each of her clients and respective family members. All of her work with clients was done so with the utmost professionalism as well as with a sincere, genuine and caring approach. She truly met with each client and/or family where they were at in their life’s journey. As Arin’s career path continues she will be a tremendous asset to any agency or organization.”
