Christian Counseling/treatment program....anyone know?


Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm trying to remember the name of this Christian counseling program. I thought it was something like Raffa or something? I don't even know if it's still available but I was trying to find an associated hospital in Houston (at least it was back in 1996?).

 

Does anyone know what I'm talking about since I don't?:confused:

Okay, I found it...sorta...it's RAPHA. And I found the guy that started it and his books. I also see A LOT of controversy, but I still can't find a website or program in Houston. Maybe they don't still do it but you'd think I could find out where they used to.

 

I appreciate y'all's help. I need this specific information though.

 

Thanks again :)

Years ago, I THINK in 1996, I was feeling suicidal and just plain YUCK. I had two young children and felt like I couldn't be the mom I wanted to be. I was WAY stuck at 12yrs old, feeling abandoned, acting out, dealing with abuse issues. I had gotten a book and in the back of it was a phone number which I called and that day (or the next) went into an in-patient treatment program in Bellaire (in Houston). Bipolar and ocd diagnoses were confirmed, I was started on medication, they were the ones that found the thyroid issue, etc.

 

The treatment program was good. I felt like I could let go of that hurt 12yo and become a young woman, a wife, a mom.

 

I don't hold the same beliefs I did back then and am not looking for Christian resources at this time. Instead, I'm in need of those medical records but can't figure out which hospital it was. I also saw professionals after I was released and need to find those people and get those records. But my brain is just not helping!

 

I was hoping if someone knew of the program that it may have a listing of counselors, doctors, hospitals associated so I could figure it out.

 

Thanks a ton y'all,

Pamela

It's RAPHA, but I don't know if they are still there. I used to hear a lot of advertising for them, but not lately.

 

I have a dear friend, though, who is in an excellent position to know everyone in that business in this area. S/he says the Meier Clinic is good, but avoid the Minrith Clinic. My friend didn't give details and I didn't ask, but I would trust this person with my life. So FWIW, there's my two cents'.

Minrith and Meier used to be together. Did they split up? (just curious)
