Appalachian Life Testimonials

We love our team and think you will too!

Read what others and the community have had to say about us.

Breanna, thank you so much for the super quick turnaround. I wasn't expecting to hear back so soon. I really appreciate you taking the time to meet with me and make me feel seen and validated after struggling for so long. It's very strange being on the other side of the gaslighting I've endured from others and also that I've internalized about myself.

I love this place they have been so supportive and kind through out my journey with them and they helped my depression levels drop to where I no longer need meds and helps me find out about my adhd. They saved my life.

I absolutely love Bea!! She has a genuinely care for what she does and the people she serves....she has been such a huge help to me. Thank you for providing such quality care!

I cannot not gush enough about Bea – she is the best thing that has happened for my treatment and I genuinely mean that.

Dr. Catherine Bailey, after one session, my husband and I have hope!

Dr. Catherine Bailey is amazing as well, I have never felt so heard in my life. Thank you so much for everything you all do.

Miranda makes me feel comfortable and I look forward to our sessions.

I have been working with Claire since 2021 and she has been a blessing in my life. I'm not sure where I'd be without her! I've gotten the help I needed based on my diagnoses. Claire has created a plan just for me that works. I wouldn't be where I am today without her and ACC! My husband sees Rob and has had great success with him also. After being a client of many therapists, I can say that this has been my best experience ever, from my therapist to billing to contacting ACC. Thank you for all you do!

Haley Wable is such a good therapist. She listens so we'll and makes me feel important. She is so kind and always make sure I'm feeling my best. She knows when I'm not myself and works so hard to understand me. She is the best therapist I have EVER seen. I have been seeing therapists since I was 11 and I'm 35 now. She is so sweet and I dont have any complaints what so ever... Thank you Haley for all you do. You make life better in so many ways.. she's the best 💯

I see Miranda, she is my spirit animal and saved my life. She gets me and I absolutely love therapy!

I have worked with this group for the last year. After completing the intake forms and survey they place you with a therapist that would best suit your needs. I highly recommend this group and I am very pleased with my progress over the last year with Rob Funk

After researching different clinics and I chose you. Your website is professional, organized and easy to navigate, informative, aesthetically pleasing, and really shows your mission and what you are about.

THANK YOU!!! I was challenged with insurance deductibles and you worked with me. You have restored my faith in humanity.

Dr. Black believed me, I was no longer alone. I am alive because of this.

I can't thank Appalachian enough!! Dr. Catherine Bailey has changed our lives with compassion, understanding and helping us to understand what we are dealing with. She has helped us start healing and be more resilient.

Dr. Bailey is life changing. Her approach was phenomenal and she made my challenges sound so normal!

I found ACC through a Google search and called. I got right through and Dr. Black answered. What a wonderful woman! She spent so much time with me to try and find a solution! I am excited and look forward to working with ACC to help my grandniece, and I have confidence that everything will work out well.

Absolutely love my therapist and I'm really happy with the progress I've made with her. My interactions with the office staff have been great too, and everything is always very organized and their policies are clearly explained.

Cody changed my life, she has helped me understand my food challenges and make the struggles easy to understand.

This counseling center is a gift to anyone who needs mental health help.

The customer service I received was incredibly kind and empathetic. Tyler is amazing! The therapist we were matched to was very well-suited to us, and it really helped us to connect better.

I was in a dark place and didn't know what to do. Dr. Black took time out of her day and came to my hospital room I was in and said, "you are gonna see me tomorrow." I cant say enough about her and her staff. They have helped greatly in my life.

Heather is always ready to listen and readily allows me the space to express myself. Her advice is never judgmental or pushy, rather, I always feel like we’re working together. I genuinely look forward to therapy each week because of her.

Dr Black saved my life! I came to her broken and at the end of my rope. She showed so much professionalism, knowing that she truly cares about you and your wellbeing was just what this new mother facing life without her mother for the very first time needed!!! I will forever be grateful to Dr Black and her team!!!!

They are truly amazing!!!

Dr. Catherine, thank you so much for all your advice. You have helped me through a few bad days and I can’t thank you enough.

I feel a lot better after talking to Heather weekly. It’s easy to be open to her, and she has a good sense of humor and seems like she genuinely cares

Tia has been awesome. I really appreciate that she shares her own experiences to help facilitate discussion and making you feel like you're not alone

Inez is incredible! She is warm, compassionate, attentive, and is very wise in her suggestions. I feel I've grown by leaps in the short time I've seen her.

I had fear of therapy. However, with Jon, it felt like I was talking to a well known friend. I learned a lot about myself by just saying it! I’m excited about the future and the new me.

I am extremely grateful for Tiana helping me through my struggles this pasts year. She is amazing and helps me think through my problems and has helped me gain coping skills that have helped me tremendously this past year

Jennifer is a great therapist. She is a great listener. She is respectful of me as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and gives me a safe place to explore my sexuality. She offers resources and techniques to help me with areas I struggle with. She is friendly. She smiles. She seems to truly care. She has helped me put my life back together when I was falling apart. Please let her know she is doing a wonderful job. Thanks for the opportunity to praise her.

Tia has helped me in all aspects of my life. She has coached me on how to become more confident, ways to alleviate anxiety, and always has made me feel validated.

Heather is absolutely stellar! She gives the best advice and is very kind and understanding.

I think Jennifer has really helped me along my journey. She makes my feelings feel valid and understood. I feel like I can open up.

I’ve been a patient for Dr. Jude Black since she was still at WVU. She has helped me in so many ways. I’ve been able to better regulate my emotions, better identify what emotions I’m feeling, and learn how to cope with the emotional trauma I’ve experienced. She’s also very patient with me and pushes me in a gentle way to challenge my ineffective thought processes so that I can have more effective coping mechanisms.

I suggest your company to anyone who asks for a therapist recommendation. Your company was there for me when I was losing my dad and it really helped me. I never thought therapy would help me - always thought it was for 'someone else" but I am thankful that I was wrong.

Dr. Jude has been a life saver, literally. I just don't know how I would have made it through the last year and a half without her help.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TIA! I can not say enough good things about her. I even recommended her to mt best friend, who is now also seeing her. SHE IS AMAZING!!!

It’s honestly just so nice to be able to talk to someone and know that they will support you and how you feel. All my best to Dr. Bailey.

The staff was always so nice and friendly when I brought my daughter in for her sessions. They not only cared about my daughter's well being but mine also.

Bea is a fantastic counselor! It’s clear she listens AND hears. She’s very reaffirming and positive. I feel like she truly cares. All of this continues to be an incredible help. Thank you!!

Thanks for your programs and for everyone coming together to make a great team and a real path toward healing.

Rob has helped me navigate difficult situations in my life without pretending he has all of the answers or making me feel obligated to act in specific ways. He's candid about his own life experiences, which has helped me relate better to him and for us to build trust.

Dr. Bailey is helping to boost back my confidence I myself and truly feel like she is sympathetic to my situations and is making me to feel my situation isn’t my fault. I really have enjoyed my sessions with her.

I have had really bad therapist in the past. Tia changes it all. I love her

Rob is absolutely amazing! Nothing more I need to say there.

Dr. Jude is the BEST and helps me navigate the challenges life brings me :) I have learned SO much about managing my anxiety.

Tia has been freaking amazing! She’s been such a life-changer and an incredible support to me. We’ve laughed together, cried together, and experienced so many other emotions freely and openly. She has been an active listening ear, a gentle and timely pusher, and someone I genuinely look up to and admire. She has met me right where I am and continues to move at my pace. I am so grateful to have her support me during my mental health journey.

Dr. Black has gotten me through one of the worst times in my life. She is extremely talented and an amazing doctor/friend!

Jennifer is very compassionate. The best therapist I’ve ever had, I feel extremely comfortable speaking to her which is very rare for me. I love going to therapy now because of her! She’s everything I could’ve asked for in a therapist!! She made me feel like healing is an option when I was convinced it was not.

I love being able to do video sessions due to my schedule and kids. So thankful you all offer this option.

Tia has always been so helpful in guiding me through my anxiety. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I love Heather. I have never clicked so well with a therapist. She makes me feel totally comfortable and safe.

Dr Jude has really helped me get through the toughest months of my life.

Tia is a wonderful therapist. She is so patient and kind, and always puts my mind at ease.

When I was at my lowest Dr. Black came to where I was and took care of me.

Heather did an excellent job of helping me process trauma. I was able to gain confidence and learn to set boundaries.

Tiana is amazing! I'm grateful to have found a therapist within West Virginia with valuable and compassionate perspectives.

It was easy to set up an appointment and start seeing someone. Getting to video appointment is also simple.

Dr. Bailey is very understanding ,she listen, she tried to help in every way gives me ideas tells me things I should try or do differently to help ,she iss a happy one, she is always smiling no matter what ....

Amazing and very compassionate. I feel very comfortable with Jennifer

Beatriz is so kind and compassionate. She really puts an effort into ensuring she is there for you and ensures she is present with you and also there for you. She is an amazing person to speak with and so easy to talk to!

I love the video session options!

Dr. Bailey is an answer to prayer!

Rob is great! He keeps it light while still asking hard questions. He writes things down which helps keep the flow of conversation from session to session and for his benefit because who can remember all the details on their own anyway. I appreciate his curiosity and genuine care and validation of the topics we discuss. Those characteristics help make this process easier, especially for someone that may struggle to open up. The time I have invested in going through this process has been worth it, because I definitely feel better and supported with his help.

Tia has been a lifesaver to me as I deal with breast cancer. So thankful for her insight she has given me

Dr. Black is truly a savior and a Godsend in my life. I am not sure where I would be right now in this terrifying and difficult healing and life adjustment if she was not a part of my life as and therapist and as a friend. There are not many people like Mrs. Black in this world and I so blessed to have her on my side through all of this....

At the darkest time of my life, Appalachian Life Enrichment was the guiding light for me and my family. Dr. Black was there to help me keep my eyes on the light at the end of a long, daunting tunnel. Because of the support and guidance, that light draws closer everyday. And I’m able now to see around me on my journey because my path is no longer blackness. My life has truly been enriched through therapy with this place.

Dr. Black has helped me change my outlook on life. As she says, I did the work but I could not have done it without her. She has helped me live a happier, healthier life.

Tyler is the friendliest voice! I love that he "knows" me now and takes the time to listen to what I need.

Tia was amazing with my daughter. She was able to get her to open up and help her find ways to cope with her anxiety and depression. The unique techniques she used really helped my daughter to feel comfortable talking to her.

Jennifer Morris is an outstanding professional. She does a great job of teaching skills to her clients and does so in a compassionate manner. Jennifer also does a great job of challenging her clients for the purposes of promoting their growth and flexibly implements evidence-based interventions.

Dr. Jude has been an absolute Godsend during the most traumatic event of my life. I’m thankful for her compassion, advice, and wisdom.

Tyler has made a scary process seem like I am going to be ok.

Dr. Black epitomizes compassionate care coupled with effective therapy. She changes lives.

Bea, I appreciate everything you do to help. It's working!

Jennifer has really helped me along my journey. She makes my feelings feel valid and understood. I feel like I can open up.

My time with Dr. Black has been life changing for me and for my husband both individually and as a married couple.

I will forever be grateful for the light Tia has helped me find myself again.

Brianna always takes the time to see how I am. Even on a bad day, she makes me feel better about life.

Dr. Jude is the BEST and helps me navigate the challenges life brings me :) I have learned SO much about managing my anxiety.

Ever since I started seeing Jon he’s been very good to me. He listens to what I have to say, he gives great advice and always finds a way to suggest a solution or goal to accommodate the future in what I need to do. Everytime I speak to jon i feel a big weight off my shoulders. I feel more determined on accomplishing my goals. I would recommend jon to anyone he’s a great therapist.

You guys are amazing! I sing your praises all the time. Dr. Black and her team are the best!

Tia is amazing! She is helping me in ways I never thought possible.

Dr. Black saved my life. (figuratively and literally)

Dr. Bailey is very kind, compassionate, and shows a genuine interest in the issues we discuss and is always engaged in the conversation.

Jennifer Morris was absolutely incredible! So professional and helpful!

Tia is amazing and compassionate

I’ve had therapist throughout my lifetime but never one like Rob. He actually cares and makes me feel like I’m a person and not a number like other therapists have in the past. He’s great and I’m so glade I found him.

Thank you Rob, your therapy has been very helpful with learning to be more independent, better mental wellness, taking initiative in my life, and with understanding my anxiety and depression to a deeper extent. Sincerely thank you Rob Funk

There are no words to describe how much this place has improved my life and the life of my family after a trauma flipped our lives upside down. I have hope for our future.

You do an awesome job helping us! Thanks for all your help

Very insightful. Helpful and over all great experience. I genuinely feel I’m making progress with my anxiety

Tia has always been so helpful and I truly appreciate her

Happy to say, I'm seeing a different perspective weekly. In a way these services help rehabilitate or reinvent or reshape a person, no matter what they're going through or have been through. That's the goal to succeed and free ourselves to dream the impossible again..🌞🌷

I am very happy with my therapist. I went from being on the verge of suicide to being the happiest I’ve been in a long time

Inez is incredible! She is warm, compassionate, attentive, and is very wise in her suggestions. I feel I've grown by leaps in the short time I've seen her.

Heather knows how to shoot straight without being cruel. She calls me on my bull*** but also knows when to lift me up. She has helped me retrain my brain away from negative self-talk while being gentle enough that I do not want to give up.

I love how easy it is to go to therapy. I appreciate it being online. I love how easy the website is to use.
