The Real Story of Maria

REAL STORY

THIS STORY IS REAL BUT ALL NAMES ARE CHANGED TO PROTECT CLIENT PRIVACY 

Maria came to NAM in crisis. She was desperate for help with housing and reported having thoughts of suicide. NAM’s Behavioral Health Services team quickly responded by validating her concerns and calming her through the use of tone and a reassuring presence.

Maria felt extremely stressed and overwhelmed with life in general. Through weekly therapy, she was able to identify different ways to manage stress and process her thoughts. Therapy allowed her to focus on her strengths and discover hopes and goals for her future. 

“Wow, I feel a whole lot better and lighter. Thank you to the team at NAM. They’ve taught me so much and given me the proper tools to treat my stress.”

Since starting therapy, there has been a noticeable positive difference in Maria’s mood and her ability to navigate through challenges.
