I would like to take a moment to name a few special staff members that I feel went above and beyond. Treating me like a person, allowing me to feel heard. With a special thank you to Heather, Medical Provider; Ms. Jane and Jaime, two of our dedicated nurses; Lizza, Jorden, Brian, and Desiree, compassionate Mental Health Counselors.

My niece was cared for at Miravista. She says that the staff were outstanding and listened to her.In particular, one of her counselors was a life force in creating engagement opportunities for her and all patients.She will return to MiraVista if she ever needs help again.

Family Member, Adult Psychiatry

I have been to many therapists and attended many groups but the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) program is by far the most helpful and relatable. The entire team makes you feel SO SAFE that it is hard not to engage and open up about very difficult problems and hurdles you have to get through. The team provides clear direction to help me develop my path to improvement.

Thank you for saving my life. This program has helped me more than any other program. Counselors are extremely helpful and caring.

Orientation, on-the-job training and education is the best I have experienced in my career. From the moment I started, I felt supported and part of the team.

Melody, MiraVista Nurse

Going to an Opioid Treatment Program like that at MiraVista with all its resources, and putting in the effort, is a major step in the right way.
