“What can I say to you besides, "THANK YOU". You have really helped me and inspired me to become more open to receiving help and treatment! I struggled with accepting my weaknesses with stubbornness and pride; you showed me that it´s ok to be more willing and open to help. Thanks for being a staunch supporter and advocate for our cause! La Ventana has saved my life!” —M.P.

“Wow, well my experience at La Ventana has been one heck of a ride! In the beginning, I was very ambivalent and guarded to change and surrendering to the program. And now, looking back, I wish I would have taken each day a little bit more seriously. I have grown to really respect and appreciate the staff at La Ventana and truly believe their heart is to better our lives. La Ventana has changed my life drastically; actually it gave me a glimpse of what having my own life is like again. La Ventana challenged me when I needed to be challenged, called me out when I needed a reality check and always had my best interest, well- being, and recovery at heart. Thank you La Ventana staff for putting up with me for so long.” — K.L.

“My experience at La Ventana was informative and challenging. The group experience gives the clients support, compassion, and friends. The treatment team challenges each client. Honestly, I have never seen so much of who I am inside and how I feel. The skills I have learned will not only help with my ED , but with all aspects of my life. The gifts/seeds of wisdom have been planted. I just have to nurture my recovery.” — A.L.

“At La Ventana I learned that I can have a life outside of ED. I learned that life won't always be about food, weight, and my body. I finally feel free of my eating disorder and i feel like now I can live my life the way that I want to. La Ventana taught me how to cry and let myself express my emotions instead of restricting them.” — L.C.

“The staff at La Ventana truly care about each individual client. Assignments are tailored to each individual allowing the client to gain more personal insight and understanding which provides great tools towards recovery.” — S.S.

“I entered La Ventana after many treatment programs over the past decade or so. I think La Ventana was the missing piece of the puzzle. I needed some more treatment at an outpatient level and was able to work through some tough issues contributing to my eating disorder with a very supportive caring staff of professionals. I am fortunate to have been given one more chance to deal with these unresolved issues in such an unconditional and warm environment.” — M

“Thank you La Ventana for giving me my life back! I did not realize that I could live without ED controlling my thoughts and actions. The staff was professional with a compassion that showed me they cared but were firm. I did the work, I cried, I began eating, and I have come full circle to a new outlook on my life. I dealt with issues that were with me since I was ten years old and the understanding and support from the other girls whom I lived with at La Ventana along with the staff made it possible to free myself from ED. I am so excited as I move forward in my new life. I don't know what else to say except thank you La Ventana, thank you , thank you.” — V.

“I appreciate how much the therapists pushed me to express feelings that I didn't even know I had. I got in touch with stuff that had been buried for years. I got my life back here , my job, my family and I actually have a social life now.” — J.C.

“Everyone here and everything this program has to offer is amazing. It really helped me open my eyes to myself and the world. Thank You.” — M.S.

“La Ventana has been one of the biggest impacts on my life ever. La Ventana has given me the closest thing I've ever had to a family and has helped me in so many ways. I came as a scared , quiet girl and I've been able through La Ventana to learn how to be my true self. I love you!” — A.D

“I adore La Ventana and my therapists and La Ventana girls. I've made so many connectins which was the missing part of my life. Just being exposed to people who understood me was a huge step in recovery. I don't know who I would be if not for La Ventana . I've had unforgettable learning , laughing, crying, and legitimate living experiences here. I am thankful for all of the aid I received and I believe the staff were prepard to treat ethe people hwo wanted it as brilliant, lovely, friends came and went.” — C.W.

"The program I attended before La Ventana was very passive.  Problems would be stated but never resolved. La Ventana was a shock at first, but their system is very effective. Clients form strong networks and are encouraged to support each other outside of program.  Not only does a client get a strong network of peer support, but also a professional one.  Each member has regular meetings with an RD, therapist, and psychiatrist.  The weekly feedback and (sometimes daily) challenges and assignments ensure that clients are always actively working towards the ultimate goal of recovey.  I wish I never had to leave !"  - E.T.
