Absolutely wonderful people, I cant recommend them enough! I typically do not comment on someone's elses review but I really feel the need to regarding the review KIRK OPHEIM posted. In response to his review:
I have personally experienced the utmost professionalism from Momentum and they have helped me tremendously. I have referred people to them as well and they have had extremely positive outcomes. The programs and methods are made very clear in both the paperwork and conversations. I feel it is concerning that you, a Social Worker would expect trauma informed care from one session

Hello all. I want to warn people about this very unprofessional, incompetent organization. I had a counselling session with the person who is the clinical director of Momentum. This was the most incompetent organization I have ever encountered and I am a social worker myself. They began the session by saying that there would be another person in the room listening to the session without communicating that this would occur before the session. I could explain more but I am choosing not to. This is not trauma-informed care in any way and I really caution anyone who is hurting emotionally to avoid
