What Others Are Saying

I’m very thankful for Amae. The staff really saved my life. They came to pick me up from the hospital. If I went home, I would have never came here. I’m very grateful for this place.

Amae Health Patient

I really do enjoy this space. It is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in the world of therapy. They’ve never been close to giving me the connectedness that Amae has brought me. This is my reason for getting out of bed.

Amae Health Patient

After a few miserable days for all of us, we took him to meet the team at Amae. They were wonderful. A harbor in the storm! Several months later, he willingly goes there twice a week. He is himself again: caring, calm and attentive.

Parent of Amae Health Patient

I felt immediate relief from the beginning of our first visit. The staff is incredibly supportive, caring, and immediately follows up when needed. I’ve noticed significant improvement in his overall well-being.
