What Our Clients Say
“I worked with Kelly Everett and Base Behavioral Health from the beginning of my journey in sobriety. I met and started working with Kelly when I had just a few weeks of sobriety. Kelly helped guide and support me through the most challenging parts of early sobriety while I struggled to learn and adapt to a life without alcohol. From there, I continued to work with Kelly as I progressed through milestone after milestone while Kelly provided realistic and pragmatic advice. With Kelly’s help, I went from not being able to imagine a life without alcohol to having over three years of sobriety. I am so grateful for the help and support Kelly and Base Behavioral Health provided me. I know it sounds cliché, but I owe all the credit to Kelly for helping me achieve the vibrant life I have today.”

“Working with Kelly Everett has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. I came to her during a genuinely hard stretch, and from the very first session, she made me feel understood and supported without any judgment. Kelly has a way of cutting through the noise and helping you see things clearly. Her approach feels both structured and flexible. She meets you where you are rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. The tools and perspectives I've gained through our work together have stuck with me in ways I didn't expect. Beyond the quality of the work itself, Kelly is warm, professional, and easy to connect with. Scheduling has always been straightforward, and the environment she creates feels genuinely safe. If you're on the fence about reaching out, I'd say don't wait. I wish I hadn't.”

Erin has been instrumental in helping me process past trauma, develop strategies for handling mental health issues, and providing me with a safe space to discuss sensitive situations.

She is so empathetic and understanding yet knows when to challenge so that I always grow and move forward.”

“I was struggling to find a therapist who accepted my insurance, and it felt like I hit a dead end. Every place I reached out to; had a waitlist of 1-4 months. Just when I was about to give up, Emma assisted me in finding options and getting scheduled with someone this week, thanks to her hard work and dedication. I'm grateful for her help and appreciate how this place handled the situation. I'm looking forward to my session with Sean.”

“I was referred by my outpatient therapist at Kaiser to this place. I had a difficult time with getting scheduled and decided to not go here and use another provider. Ashley, the owner, called me within an hour of my frustration and asked what went wrong and how can we make it right. She offered to help and refer me somewhere else if that is what I needed. After being validated and heard, she personally scheduled me appointments so that my care would be continuous (I had problems with my last therapist, of 4 years, scheduling appointment on wrong days and cancelling on a regular basis the day of therapy). I feel good about this place and will update after attending a few sessions. I recognize that scheduling appointments can be frustrating for those in mental health crisis. I feel confident if you let them know this you will get a response and be heard.”
