I have epilepsy, depression, anxiety and PMS, ive been diagnosed and being treated for all with daily medication. I had been asking for help because I had an abusive neighbor who didn't let me sleep. I ended up having a mental breakdown because of my lack of sleep. While I was emotionally unstable on February 17th 2025, instead of helping me and speaking to me the maintenance man gave the police my house key. The police pepersprayed me and my emotional support pet without a warrant police opened my front door with house key, 10 police officers dragged me out of my home, physically attacked me cut me burnt me and beat me. When I came back home I was not allowed to go in to my house I was very rudely told to leave without written notice I had less than 24 hours to leave and my abusive neighbor is still living there and my son and I are living in the street. The program didn't even bother to help us with hotels or food or anything. I would never donate my m9neybto this program and if you suffer from mental health this place will not help. My civil right where abused and I was discriminated for my mental illness.

I've called for resources several times and they never return a call back. I needed a support group a few years back after receiving several recommendations, and whenever I called in I was just told that there were no groups available and then wasn't offered any other options.

I remember sitting in the car reading these negative reviews about The Center for Community Solutions right before my first day of therapy. A bit apprehensive, I went in anyway and it was hands down THE BEST thing I have ever done for myself and my loved ones. I had been in California for 2 years at that point. I left Oregon after my ex finally got convicted for DV. He repeatedly beat me unconscious, choked me and psychologically tortured me. I thought it was over after I left, but my memories deeply disturbed me. Trauma stores itself in the body and I would viciously lash out people or start sobbing over something simple. Now I was hurting people. I couldn’t control my emotions. I was in so much pain. It was taking over my life and I didn’t know how to get better. I even hurt my current partner who treats me like a queen because I couldn’t handle any stress without exploding. I finally reached out to the domestic violence hotline and they referred me to CFCS. And that brought me to Heather, my therapist for the last 6 months who helped me completely turn my life around. When I got to her, I hated myself so much. I have a background in human services and I am highly critical of those in the helping profession. I can tell if they’re listening. I had tried one other therapist and had a panic attack after the first day bc her contributions weren’t relevant and I was left feeling exposed to someone who didn’t understand me. Heather has a way of taking all my messy dark thoughts and somehow synthesizes a response that is so helpful...like how!? Sometimes you just need to get that yuck out of your head. In 6 months of working with Heather I; learned concepts to manage my mind like when I “shame spiral”, explored my trauma in a safe space finally without feeling judged, set limits to drinking that actually worked, took my final course to graduate college, got a personal trainer, got a new job in my desired field and I’m just overall a different person. I’ve calmed down so much. It takes true skill to take a tormented soul and lead them into relief and that’s exactly what Heather did. Free QUALITY accessible mental health services for survivors have is imperative and I am so thankful for Heather and the Center for community solutions. Today is my last session and I’m sad because I love coming here, but I know I have to make room for people who need it like I did.

Excellent legal assistance for the elderly and disabled!
