Lynn Vanca, Behavioral Health Patient

Personalized care and the essential tools to navigate life's ups and downs.

Transcription

Lynn Vanca: I was experiencing anxiety for several months, and the intensity was increasing to the point it was affecting my sleep, my ability to concentrate. I couldn't enjoy life anymore, and had no hope for the future.

Dr. Varley, my regular psychiatrist, suggested that I seek additional support here at Summa Health in the Intensive Outpatient Program. From the minute I met Dawn, my primary therapist, I felt at ease. I really appreciated the team approach with Dr. Kasper, Dawn and the art therapist coming up with an individualized treatment plan that addressed my needs.

The group experience helped me realize I wasn't alone. The most beneficial part of the Intensive Outpatient Program was that I now know I have the skills to help me navigate the other ups and downs that are natural to life. It's given me a brand new start that I've been looking for.
