& Testimonials

“MV gave me hope again. It gave me a really solid foundation to continue learning to manage my OCD so I could live in alignment with my values. I’m a lot more confident, and I know I can do some really hard things. MV changed almost all aspects of my life!”

“Mountain Valley was instrumental; it was absolutely necessary at that point in time. We’d do anything for MV—we hold them in the highest regard for what they did for our daughter. If you’ve done your homework, trust the process. MV has the resources, breadth, and depth to help kids take the next step on their journey.”

“MV literally changed her life, and by extension, it changed our lives. It put her on a trajectory to confront her problems and address them. We are incredibly proud of her. She knows what her challenges are and is facing them every day. The level of professionalism and empathy around her care was profound.”

“This program is life-giving. MV made her want to live her life in a meaningful way. She learned it’s worth doing the hard work so that she can have the life she wants. I’m so grateful for MV. It’s not all smooth sailing, but I couldn’t be prouder of her.”

“My life is wildly different now. I was so scared back then that people would judge me or that something bad would happen. Now, it’s night and day. I go outside regularly, I am very involved in school, academics, and sports. I even have a job as a camp counselor—something I never would’ve done before.”

“MV, on the most basic level, literally saved my life. I almost had a suicide attempt before I went, and if I hadn’t sought treatment, I probably would’ve actually attempted. MV improved the quality of my life—it gave me coping skills, the relationships I formed when I was there, and the interpersonal connections. It all brings me joy.”

“My experience was transformative, because it allowed me to take the first steps into being who I really am. My perception of myself changed so drastically. I never used to think I was smart, but I came out knowing I was smart. It helped my self-worth and functioning. I even have a tattoo of the MV logo over my heart.”

“Going to MV is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I learned so many skills that I continue to use on a daily basis. I learned I wasn’t crazy and that I was not alone. Meeting other people with similar experiences was huge for me—I had never met anyone with OCD, much less the same type. So, meeting other people and seeing the exposures they were doing really built a sense of community, and I’ve stayed in touch with many over the last 2.5 years.”

“Mountain Valley gave me my life back. It gave me the power inside me to take back my life. It changed my perspective on anxiety 100%. My life is drastically different now—I’m a functioning adult. I really can’t even remember the last time I experienced a panic attack. I was just not comfortable in my own skin with my anxiety back then. But since then, I’ve been able to propel myself forward, and it doesn’t impact me much anymore.”

“Mountain Valley recalculated my destination in life. At Mountain Valley, I learned I had innate value again. I actually now like myself. I started to allow myself to enjoy the successes of life and stopped demonizing myself for anything less than perfection. It gave me the confidence, tools, and knowledge to face everything and move forward.”
