Overwhelmingly Positive Experience
Kilgore Samaritan Counseling has received largely positive reviews from its clients. Ben, a therapist at the center, has been praised for helping clients overcome long-standing mental health issues. Kevin Dean, who has been in therapy for most of his life, credits Ben with helping him find the "light at the end of a 39-year-old tunnel" and take control of his life. Kevin's radical transformation, from feeling like a victim to becoming a thrivor, is a testament to the center's effectiveness.
Mixed Feelings on Effectiveness
However, not all clients have reported such a glowing experience. Tyler Fischer, who sought therapy to stop drinking, was underwhelmed by the center's approach to addiction. After a few months of sessions, the therapist admitted they didn't think they could help him, leading Tyler to conclude that the center doesn't know how to treat addiction.
Consistency and Comfort
Gabriele Nicole Boehm, on the other hand, has had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Kilgore Samaritan Counseling. She praises the center's atmosphere, customer service, and therapists, stating that she finally feels comfortable and has been able to maintain effective mental health treatment. Elizabeth M. also appreciated the center's friendly and loving environment, conveniently located near Oxmoor Mall.
