While we are new to this program, EVERYTHING from the first intake call to coming daily to the program has been exceptional. We are not new to PHP programs, and had a VERY BAD experience at one in Sterling, Virginia where they were punitive and did not treat my child as human, nonetheless a client of theirs. Point is, I have something to compare this experience to, and I can't rave enough about the staff and the care they have taken on our journey. Seeking out a program like this means that life is very difficult to begin with, but in my experience, once I made the decision to seek this facility out- everything has been incredibly supportive, collaborative, and transparent. While my child still questions if they will 'get better', they are trusting the process and I can tell by the care of the staff - that this will change her life. One thing that stands out to me immediately is that many of the staff have been there for years. I repeat, years. That in itself is incredible. Even those that are newer all have a collective belief in the process and I really haven't had a bad interaction at all. As a parent it is important for you to communicate and coordinate with them, as it does take a village, and the staff have always been accommodating and supportive. I will update my review as we continue through the program, but for those parents that are looking at the many options that exist, look no further. You have compassionate humans that will treat your child with respect and will lead with empathy along their journey. I have no hesitation that we are in the right place - I hope all of you who read this have comfort that not all PHP programs are created equally.

Our family has found Embark life-giving. In particular, her individual and family therapist (the same person) was simply a human full of love -- on top of being a consummate clinician. The building and setting are beautiful and healing. We ardently wish for more therapy practices to confront rising levels of anxiety and depression. Teens can grow and flourish under good care (and an enlightened society).

Embark at Cabin John has become a second home for our child. They were with her and for her 100% through this very difficult journey and have led her and us to much firmer ground in the past few months. The education we received on DBT skills was crucial and will serve us well in the future, both individually and as a family. Our child's therapist (who was also our family therapist) was able to challenge our child to move deeper into her issues and guided us all with unconditional positive regard and support. The Cabin John setting is peaceful and beautiful and was a place that our child felt safe and supported during the hardest time in her life. We are beyond grateful.

The best of the best. They really helped my son get his self esteem and confidence back. Lee was our therapist, but my son loved everyone here. There was many people helping my son. I see that this is a team that you can trust. It’s important to work with people you can trust, especially in this field. My son and my family always got respect and care, while getting genuine help. And we never felt alone. You just have to trust the treatment plan. They will help you through the process. This is not a medical treatment, it’s a journey. We are more confident as a family with the plans and tools that they provided us. My son always had a great time in groups and looked forward to therapy.When we were first looking for a program, we were scared and uncertain. We didn’t know what to do. We are so so happy that it worked out. Every staff member was helpful 24-7 and were available after hours to help. We were crying and praying and looking for an answer. We feel like this was an answered prayer and we feel so good that we always have people to reach out to if we need it.I don’t see these people as staff members, they acted more like friends. I’m so grateful. If your family is struggling, please reach out and trust the process. Everything will be ok. That’s what we found out.

Sabrina and Robyn have been hosting virtual cooking classes on a monthly basis called “Meatless Mondays” which has been so much fun! Not only have I learned some delicious new healthy recipes (really, surprisingly delicious, and my family has loved everything so far), but they have also incorporated Mindfulness and nutrition lessons into the session. I can’t wait for next month’s class! Thank you ladies for teaching me more about healthy eating and the enjoyment that comes with it.

My experience connecting people with Embark has been overwhelmingly positive. I find their staff to be warm, compassionate, and committed to helping adolescents and their families. On various occasions, staff have gone completely above and beyond to provide appropriate resources and referrals. An especially outstanding aspect is the staff following up and checking in to ensure quality care and continuity. I really appreciate their staff!

I cannot even begin to describe how helpful my time in Patomac Pathaways IOP was. The counselors are phenomenal and the DBT Model itself is life-changing. I also really enjoyed the weekly experientials. We went hiking, did an escape room, did a crazy ropes course, took a photography walk (with disposable cameras! These photos are ones I took during the experiential), did yoga and Zumba, painted, and more. My life has been changed and is continuing to be changed for the better. Thank you, Patomac Pathaways, for helping me to start living a life worth living.
