Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I’ve read a few of the reviews and they sadden me. No one deserves to receive sub par medical care, especially when it involves mental health challenges. That being said, my experience has been positive and beneficial! Yes, I’ve had problems with being “on-time” and I was appropriately reprimanded but, generally speaking, I, at this time, have no complaints! If you are looking for a faith-based therapist but, will not push her religious beliefs, Gina is a very competent and knowledgeable LCSW and I highly recommend her for treatment of PTSD/Trauma related disorders! The Boise location is has a nice a welcoming atmosphere and the office manager is a rock star! She even offers treats as you check in (but, don’t take a handful and leave the candy dish empty). Overall, I am pleased with the care I receive at Midvalley Healthcare."
