What recent reviews say
New Hope serves clients in Columbia with strong clinical depth in eating disorders, trauma, and anxiety. Most reviewers praise the therapists and nutritionist and describe helpful, focused care. However, a subset report slow callbacks for new clients, difficult interactions with founder Amy Helms around administrative matters, and insurance claim support that felt inadequate.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
