Testimonials

I never thought recovery was possible for me, but Alsana showed me just how worthy and capable I was of a better life. I owe my life to them.

Coming to Alsana truly changed – and probably saved – my life. I’m so thankful to have been able to come here for treatment. I felt heard, seen, validated, and cared for by all the staff here.

I am beyond content with the life I have the pleasure of living right now, and I attribute this entirely to recovery.

The staff at Alsana proved to be extremely talented in the art and the skill of not colluding with my eating disorder while also not treating me as if  I was an eating disorder…There is an unbelievable amount of safety at Alsana because of this and my gratitude is crazy high!

I found authentic joy in things I used to reprimand myself for doing. I took, and continue to take pride in the progress I made and continue to make. Most importantly, I am now capable of self-acceptance and self-love whether I succeed, fail or anything in between.

Alsana providers led me through so much illuminating self-reflection about topics that I had never before considered relevant to my treatment, recovery, or self in general. Alsana staff appreciate and treat the individual, and I felt this in and outside of therapy sessions.

Alsana helped me develop a better understanding of my hunger fullness cues, learning that food wasn’t the only thing I could be hungry for and that it is okay to have the foods you like.

Alsana is and has been one of the most respecting and caring and safe places for me to go as a trans man all staff and clients respected me in ways that I’ve never been respected in before and I felt welcomed and safe to be myself.

Alsana is a truly professional, organized, and compassionate organization and team. I have been impressed.

FABULOUS. Loved the program, the pace, the DCs and therapists, and the groups!

I loved the format and the intensity of virtual IOP. I feel like my team actually cared and the session leaders as well. Would 100% recommend to anyone battling an eating disorder.

A crucial part of my experience in residential was the exploration of movement. I was given excellent support in this area. I learned a lot about my body by giving it rest and through the educational [group movement] sessions. I loved exploring the different experimental movements, feeling joy in participating in activities again, and trying new things.

This place truly made me leave with a smile. I felt like I was meant to be there. They deeply care about you and not just your eating disorder. All the staff is awesome and want the best for you! They have a rotating menu and also include client creations once a week which was so fun to engage in. They truly make it a less stressful environment.

I loved my experience in treatment because of all of the people I could relate to. I didn’t feel ashamed anymore…Aside from having my children, getting help and going to treatment is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself in my life! I now feed myself literally and figuratively and that’s the key!
