Patient Stories

"It really helped to have a therapist that was so caring."

“My child worked with Crysta Shiner, and she was wonderful! It really helped to have a therapist that was so caring and took the time to get to know him. She is a wonderful asset to CBC. Thanks!”

"It was hard for me to turn the reins over to strangers to care for my child, but I could not have asked for a better team of people."

“My journey with CBC was a long one. My daughter was there for eight long months. I got to know most of the Staff, and they were all amazing! My daughter has been home a little over a month now, and not to say we don’t still have issues, but we are working through them far better than we did before her stay at CBC. I will be eternally grateful to Crysta (her therapist) and the rest of the staff. It was hard for me to turn the reins over to strangers to care for my child, but I could not have asked for a better team of people.”
