Dr Darsa was amazing! and as a cancer survivor this was the best space for me to heal. i loved the program and stayed longer than i originally planned - it was intense but so worth it. the variety of group sessions on top of individual sessions were so helpful! the groups were very eye opening covered a range of topics from self discovery with art or creative writing to groups led by trauma informed doctors. groups were remote which made access to them easier but i also appreciated the in person individual sessions and in person group picnics or other meet-ups monthly. using DBT and focusing on somatic and holistic healing allowed me to learn so many great tools i still use (and were far above what i’ve seen before i joined Reconnect). Thank you to Dr Darsa and the whole reconnect team!

I love reconnect! I was in the lowest mindset and was afraid of any help because every place I looked at seemed to have bad reviews and I was scared of making my situation worse. I gave reconnect a try after being recommended by my current therapist and the energy in there when I first walked in was lovely. The therapists there all care about your situation and they are very forgiving if you are feeling low energy. Everything is centered around trauma and not putting too much stress on the mind and body.
