My journey has come full circle! Here I am now, a family interventionist after spending the last 18 years living with my intention. I am so grateful.All the glory to God. Today was outstanding! My visit to my Alma Mater, Lifeskills, where I spent 90 days in treatment in 2007 (3rd time's the charm 😀) evaluating the mess I was in was nostalgic, warm, fuzzy and fun!!! I was totally plugged in to, "How the hell am I going to get my life back on track?" My kids motivated me to fight this battle no matter what it was going to take.What an amazing journey of self-discovery it's been for the last 18 years of my life.My choice to my check myself into treatment in 2005 was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Kasey Stark, MSW, CAP , I appreciate your support and friendship so much. You are the best! Lifeskills South Florida I'm a testimony of how incredible this facility is! I highly recommend them for your loved ones. I love seeing their growth through the years. Not only did I visit their Deerfield location, but I was lucky enough to tour their brand new Fort Lauderdale location as well.It's so impressive to see their full continuum of care, genuine love, and support they have for their clients and staff. Trust is everything, and they bring it to the table! I really enjoyed my time visiting with the clinical team and staff as well as seeing your brand new location! Thank you, Kasey!
