Your journey to mental wellness starts here!

“The service qualities provided to those attending the Saturday support group sessions are uniquely outstanding oases of compassionate understanding, acceptance, and support; therefore each and everyone present has the best available opportunities to learn in their own personal ways. Self-respect is fully present always, and much appreciated by all. The variety of differences enhances the chances of everyone finding something to improve their quality of life during each and every session. As there are endless variations of individuals journeying through life, there are endless possibilities and options to be discovered and embodied. The trusting environment created by all attending creates confidence to share and empower each other.”

“I have been a member of the Mental Wellness Support Group, founded by Dr. Hamdy Rayes, for over one year. I have been battling depression for nearly 25 years, and am very grateful to have found this support group for people struggling with depression. The group has a very different approach to dealing with depression; a more holistic approach, which is in my opinion, a good alternative to medication alone.”

“I appreciated the opportunity to attend group meetings. I valued your encouragement and the feedback I got from you and the attendees. I feel more self-confident and very happy with my progress. I got wonderful advice to solve my problems at work. When I started attending the group meetings, I was overwhelmed with my problems. Now I am able to give feedback to help other members. Thank you very much for helping me improve.”

“Hamdy, Thank you so much for inviting me to attend the support group meeting. It was a wonderful experience. I spent the whole rest of the day feeling just great. I will be coming to the next group session without a doubt. Meditation brought my heart rate down in a more natural way. Thanks again

“Thank you so much for today’s session. I will try to omit the words “what if” from my thoughts. I will focus on the moment. I will give myself some credit for the work that I am doing and how it is helping me heal.”

“I’m so glad that I came to the meeting today – I will look for FUN as the next thing to work on – I will continue with meditation – I will visit my students this coming week – I will continue to seek out the caring people in my life (family, friends, professionals).”

“I really appreciated the freedom we had to share our stories. It was very useful and helpful – I was inspired by the stories of strength and challenges – There were so many different situations, but we have a common thread. You always ensure everyone gets a full chance to tell their stories. I will work on deep breathing – I will see keep up with my supplements. I will take the time to get to know myself a little better and to be good to myself.”
