What recent reviews say

Reviewers report deep difficulty reaching staff by phone and frustration with the Integrity program's lack of transparency on safety concerns. One long-term client reports waiting nearly two years for promised correspondence about her husband's progress without meaningful explanation or accountability from staff.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

One long-term client credited Bobbie with transforming their life over six years and praised her compassion and the team's support. Another younger client seeking eating disorder help felt the therapist seemed unfamiliar with their issues and judgmental, and suspected better fit elsewhere.
