This little piece of Manhattan was the greatest gift I could have asked for. I’d been struggling deeply but was too afraid to ask for help. When I finally reached out to Renfrew, I was met with nothing but acceptance, understanding, and community. My therapist and nutritionist were both so passionate about what they do and it truly showed. Their [treatment] model partly focuses on interpersonal connection. So, I was able to reflect and heal alongside other women with shared experiences, creating an especially welcoming environment. I am SO grateful to have my life back and I highly recommend Renfrew to anyone who is thinking about recovery.
