Client Testimonials & Success Stories

Johnna H.

I can’t say enough good things about Monima Wellness Center. From the moment you walked in, you will feel a sense of calm and genuine care. The space itself is beautiful, clean, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to put you at ease so that you a start your journey to healing. But what really sets Monima apart is the people. Everyone is not only professional, but also kind, attentive, and truly invested in your well-being.

The treatments are top-notch, and I love that they take the time to really listen and tailor your treatment to what you need, rather than rushing you through like so many other places. If I could give more than five stars I absolutely would!

Shannon P.

Pursuing healing through treatment at Monima has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I cannot say enough positive things about this treatment center and their staff.

When I arrived at Monima I struggled to know which way was up and who or what I could trust. Ultimately, Monima helped me get in touch with myself, and then with continued support and guidance, I learned how to trust myself. And that changed everything.

Further, after more than a decade of searching for help with PMDD, I found it at Monima. They have a Reproductive Psychiatrist on staff who expertly and compassionately addressed my needs, and worked with me to update my treatment as needed throughout my time at Monima.

As a survivor of both acute and complex trauma I found the whole treatment program effective and genuinely healing. It made all the difference to work with a team who is dedicated to clients receiving the tailored care they need, in an informed, nonjudgmental, and warm environment. My experience was that the staff at Monima live what they teach. Being surrounded and guided by qualified and compassionate providers every day provided a significant part of the healing I encountered throughout my time with the program. They met me every step of the way with acceptance and warmth and that example continues to be an important part of my recovery.hat I’ve learned here for a lifetime, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Isabella S.

Monima Wellness Center has been such a supportive and caring place for me. The therapists truly care and take the time to listen, and the house gave me a safe, welcoming place to stay when I needed it most. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done to help me heal.

First, please accept my apologies as I was not able to get Katie’s last name. Even so, I felt it was important to reach out and commend her for the exceptional support she provided me.

Finding a facility that focuses primarily on mental health has been a difficult process for me, and my prior experiences with other organizations often left me feeling discouraged. My interaction with Katie was completely different, and I believe her efforts deserve recognition.

She was incredibly thorough in providing information, making sure I had everything I needed to understand my options. What impressed me even more was the way she carried herself throughout the process—professional, patient, and genuinely empathetic. I felt she truly listened and cared, which made an overwhelming search much more manageable. It is not often that someone combines both competence and compassion so seamlessly.

In a field where people are often reaching out during vulnerable times, her approach makes a real difference. She not only represented your organization in the best possible way but also provided me with reassurance and trust at a time when I needed it most.

Please extend my gratitude to Katie. I truly believe she deserves recognition for being the rockstar that she is!!

This place goes above and beyond! This is the place if you want to heal from trauma, PTSD, mental health, and grow into the person you deserve to be. Best Women’s program EVER!

Meera M.

This is a great place to heal. Good luck to you on your journey.

I know reviews have influenced my decisions before, so they’re important. My experience with Monima Wellness has been nothing short of amazing, life-changing, life-saving, and so much more. I have personally either interacted or received direct services from the owners, and let me tell you: not only do they know their sh*t, but they excel at it. Whether it’s neuropsychology evaluations, diagnostic services, culturally and trauma informed therapy, tons of supports or amazing customer service support, they are the best. Trust me, I’ve met many, but never a team so invested in my support, progress, and success. And I’ve just been a regular out patient client; can’t even imagine all the added goodness in their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). I see it because they’re such a tight knit community it rubs off even on me, as I walk their hallways on my way to my therapy appointments. I also had an amazing therapist, smart and hardworking, Liv. Do you identify as female? As a member of the LGBTQ+ community? How about as Neurodivergent? Complex Trauma? How about all other known mental health diagnoses? Do you feel like nobody will care / understand / be supportive? Seek them out. You’ll be positively surprised, and your life will be so much better for it. It’s NOT magic though, it’s hard work, willingness to step through the fear and the suck, and tireless focus, but with their support, YOU GOT THIS!

PS: Max, Nicole, and Molly are the BEST. Thanks for thinking of all of us ❤️

I have been meaning to write this for a while now, but I struggled to find the right words because the truth is, there are no words powerful enough to fully express how much Monima has changed my life.

I can say, without exaggeration, that I would not be here today if I hadn’t gone through this program. Before finding Monima, I was at my absolute breaking point. I felt hopeless, like the weight of past trauma was finally going to consume me. But from the moment I walked through those doors, everything changed. I was met with warmth, kindness, and a level of care so rare and so deeply genuine that, for the first time in a long time, I felt seen. The people at Monima don’t just do this work—they live it, they believe in it, and they pour their hearts into helping people heal.

What makes Monima so unique is its integration of both Eastern and Western medicine. The program doesn’t just treat symptoms, it treats the whole person. The connection between mind and body is often overlooked in traditional healing, but at Monima, it’s at the heart of everything. Mind and body, past and future, pain and possibility—it’s all connected. And through their approach, I was able to find a strength within myself that I never knew existed.

To Grace, Shannon, Susan, Dr. K, and Anita: Your kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support saved me. I hope you all know the magnitude of the work you do, the lives you change, the hope you restore. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you.

Life isn’t always easy, and some moments feel especially heavy. But Monima, and the wonderful souls who pour their hearts into this place, helped me see a new path. They gave me the tools to heal, the strength to move forward, and the gentle reminder to be kind to myself along the way.

If you’re struggling, if you feel lost, please know that hope exists. Healing is possible. There is light beyond this moment, and Monima is proof of that. I will carry what I’ve learned here for a lifetime, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Mari N.

I’ve been through so much mental health treatment in my life, and nothing compared to the 3.5 months I spent at Monima. The staff were so caring, validating, supportive, and knowledgeable and the connections I made were incomparable. I learned so much about myself and about how to not only cope, but heal. I left Monima with skills to succeed, and with a new outlook on my mental health, my identity, my relationships, and who I want to be going forward. I feel like a new person. Couldn’t recommend more!

Erika T.
