Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program - Southport

"was pretty good i liked the mask painting stuff miss you rob n jaqui -noah"

"Discovery was an amazing life changing experience. Lisa and Rob (Therapists) are very good at their jobs and very helpful. Lisa however is the best therapist ever. Jacqui is a wonderful program director. She knows what shes doing and 100% makes this program better. She is also very involved with the kids."

"My daughter had been to an outpatient PHP prior to entering a residential placement. Upon discharge from residential she returned to the previous PHP. Following a few weeks, my daughter said "Mom, you are sending me to a day care center for adolescents with mental health issues that don't want to get better. This place is not helping me.". How can I ignore that statement? We changed programs immediately and attended the IOP at Discovery Mood and Health in Southport. This program was the perfect fit. Of course, my daughter hated it at first because they made her do the work. She attended IOP for approximately 2.5 months and finally made a change. Jacqui and Rob were amazing! Jacqui was tough but in all the right ways. She held us accountable and did not allow either one of us to make excuses. I don't think we would have made it this far without them."

"My 16 year old son recently completed DMA’s PHP/IOP program for mental health. This was our third hospitalization in 2 years and we really not expecting much. However, the staff was amazing and figured my son out rather quickly. Rob, Lisa and Jackie worked so well with him and really taught him skills that he can implement in everyday life. They all responded to e-mails or phone calls right away, talked us through any issues and gave us updates frequently. Most importantly, they gave our son the confidence and skills to get back to everyday life. Rob, Lisa and Jackie were all very caring and attentive while maintaining the professional relationship required in a therapeutic setting. They were informative and helping in finding outside resources to continue the positive growth once we stepped down. We are forever grateful to each of them for helping our family heal and grow."

"The staff cared about the kids but they did do anything about the kids did after the program. The staff that worked with the kids should be able talk to the kids after they did the program because some kids did have counselor outside of the program."
