The Juniper Center

About

The Juniper Center is a premier counseling center specializing in trauma recovery, addiction, sexuality and gender identity, relationships.

Description

The Juniper Center (http://www.thejunipercenter.com) is a premier trauma recovery center in the Midwest.

Trauma can result from a specific event like an accident, illness or sudden death of a loved one, combat, rape, being attacked, domestic violence, sexual or physical abuse as a child. It can also stem from something harder to identify but just as impactful, such as neglect, verbal abuse, frequent criticism, ongoing lack of empathy from a loved one, being made to feel fearful, ongoing anxiety, as a child feeling like we don’t matter, are unlovable or unwanted.

Our culture dictates a policy of picking ourselves up and moving on. Sometimes we can, and sometimes, because of the ways our brains respond to such events, our brain chemistry has been changed by these experiences and we find ourselves being triggered into feeling or acting in ways that may feel beyond control.

At The Juniper Center, we help the whole person heal from their symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, substance abuse, relationship issues, and more, while keeping in mind that this is YOUR life and that you are coming to us for help in a time of need.

What matters to you, matters to us. With 15 therapists at five locations, it is easy and convenient to find the help and connection you are seeking, with counseling for individuals, couples, families, adults, children, and adolescents, plus group counseling and holistic health classes, all in a calm, inviting and peaceful atmosphere.

At the Juniper Center we are here to work with you to recover and help you live your fullest life.

I highly recommend The Juniper Center, especially Michelle Duel. Having had a poor experience with another company, I was hesitant to try therapy again, but The Juniper Center has been excellent from the start with a warm and welcoming staff. With every appointment, I felt valued and understood, even when my situation was difficult to explain. Michelle Duel is a very active listener, providing support and helpful insight into any situation. I have been able to redirect my thoughts and actions, as well as devise plans to help navigate future issues all thanks to her. Thank you to Michelle Duel and The Juniper Center!
I am so thankful I found a new EMDR therapist immediately through The Juniper Center. My therapist moved away, I experienced an insurance gap, etc. I know it can take some time to find your match again. I had a little bit of back and forth trying to get scheduled my schedule is all over the place and the intake staff was so patient with me. I see Alice and I've never felt so safe in the therapeutic space before to actually open up about trauma. I know I will be able to make trackable changes with my care.
I was referred here by my therapist, Mark vastola, sheridan Counseling for my marriage counseling.. we were connected with Helen, our therapist.. She was picked as our marriage counselor by Juniper Center.. Now Helen has decided to be my wife's therapist and says she can't talk to me as she is not my therapist.. while i wanted to communicate, an update from my therapist, Mark Vastola, related to my wife's possible disorder to my marriage counselor. I asked her if there was any bias in it ? I have not heard back.. Helen and Mark have failed to connect and have been playing phone tags it's been almost 3 months now, and my therapist failed to connect with Helen.. I would not recommend marriage counseling here. I am a father of two, and such negligence and professionalism are not acceptable. At this point, this review has no point, but maybe I can save someone else who wants actual marriage counseling without any bias.
My therapist was controlling. He started a battle with my insurance company wanting them to pay for 60 minutes when we met for 50. He wrote an email to me that said f I don't handle it with the insurance comed. He was supposed to help me not be vombsyivr. psny, he will have me billed for gill sessions and then send to vollecyi ok ns if I don't pay! I am devaststated.
80 plus+ staffers but they told me they couldn't find one to help me. Even though they never met me..
For years I have had an intense phobia of snakes. It for increasingly worse the past few years, to the point where I could never really enjoy being outside. I'd see sticks and scream, thinking they may be one. I've dropped or thrown my phone if I happened to come across a picture on Facebook and would go into a full blown "fight or flight" response. I've deleted friends on Facebook who would post pictures of them; luckily Facebook came out with the "hide post" or "un-follow" options. Recently, I started to choose those options. I literally researched buying a mongoose for when I own my own home because they kill snakes. I was sad when I found out that it was illegal to have them in the continental 48, because they could mess up the ecosystem. If I'd see a snake on the road while driving, I would scream and purposely run over it. It made me feel good that at least one more was dead. But then my car would feel dirty and I would feel dirty and then I would need to shower immediately. Reason being, the snake touched my wheel, which is part of my car, and I was in my car makes sense, right?!?! Ha. Anytime I would think about going on vacations, my mind would immediately go to "what kind of snakes live there?" I automatically assumed anyone who would touch a snake, own a snake, have jewelry that resembled a snake, maybe a tattoo of one, whatever it may be, was an untrustworthy person and I needed to keep them at a distance. Prejudgment much?!? Yes. I immediately thought something wasn't right in their brain. But when I would be thinking logically I realized it was my brain that wasn't quite right. When my boyfriend asked me once, "If a snake were between you and our future kids or between you and your niece and nephews and the kids were in danger, would you be able to save them?" I knew I wanted to say "yes, I could do that." However, I wasn't sure if I could. My fear may very well paralyze me and could potentially override my natural instincts to protect. The thought of not being able to help someone because of my own fear saddened me and made me feel incredibly selfish I realized I couldn't keep going through life like this. I didn't like that this fear was controlling me from fully enjoying life, so I decided to seek professional help. I made an appointment at The Juniper Center, and went to a therapist who specializes in EMDR therapy. It was amazing! I went for a consultation, didn't really know what to expect, but she was very confident in being able to help. I had two regular therapy appointments and then yesterday when I walked in, I told her about all of the progress I thought I had been making. I saw snakes on TV and didn't freakout, I saw a couple pictures on my phone and didn't freakout either. I'm never going to be a snake lover, because I think there's a normal/healthy dislike for them. But I no longer feel debilitated! I graduated from therapy yesterday! I couldn't believe how fast this entire process went for me, but I'm completely okay with that! If you have something holding you back in life, go talk to someone! Mental health and physical health go hand in hand. I wish I would've sought care sooner
Excellent consultation services. Excellent clinical services. Juniper is a gem.
Great therapist. Great person.
