Reviews from HBR Alumni
As someone who has worked in mental health and addictions treatment since 2004, I have come to know HBR's management team--Michael Berry, Michael Walsh, and Rob de Clark. They are dedicated, experienced professionals. I recommend HBR for those who are unable to attend inpatient treatment.
I only have positive feedback about the HBR program. I decided to take part in the self-directed program which allowed me to complete the program at my own pace while continuing to work full-time. It is a very easy program to navigate and I was able to make a monthly payment plan which allowed some financial flexibility. My Recovery Coach was very hands on and always communicative. If I needed to reschedule a meeting, I was met with understanding. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in making changes while understanding themselves better and their relationship with substances. Non-judgemental, professional and knowledgeable service. I researched many home-based programs before choosing HBR and I am so glad I did!

Health Risks That Make Psychological Therapy Important
Untreated mental health concerns can affect emotional well-being, relationships, work performance, physical health, and overall quality of life. Without appropriate support, ongoing stress, difficult emotions, and unresolved experiences may become harder to manage over time.
Access to compassionate psychological therapy can help people develop healthier coping strategies and manage mental health concerns with greater self-understanding and support. Research suggests that it may help people experiencing difficulties (such as anxiety, depression, shame, and self-criticism) reduce shame and self-criticism while strengthening emotional regulation, self-compassion, and resilience. It is, however, best to note that the evidence varies by condition and treatment format. Therapy should be tailored to the person’s needs, goals, and level of support required.

- Feeling unsure about needing support: Some individuals believe they should manage challenges on their own before seeking help.
- Fear of judgment: Concerns about how others may view mental health support can prevent people from reaching out.
- Privacy concerns: People may hesitate because they want their personal experiences kept confidential.
- Difficulty finding accessible care: Location, scheduling, and availability can create barriers.
