My journey of recovery wouldn't be filled with joy without Torch Wellness. My story involves being shot ten times. I've been privileged to have many medical providers throughout my years of treatment for multiple disabilities. I have a solid educational background and have consistently advocated for my mental and physical health needs. It sounded incredible, right? That was until I received a copy of my Social Security Administration records and read how my providers articulated me as a patient. Words such as manipulator, medication seeker, and double dipper were used to describe my way of seeking help for pain, my racing mind, sleepless nights, depression, and anxiety. I'll be disabled for the rest of my life, but with TORCH WELLNESS, I live a beautiful life. Torch Wellness provides a comprehensive approach to treating my needs. Ms. Kain is a great listener; she believes in building a rapport with her patients so she can empathize with you as a human being. If you feel anxious when it's time for your monthly checkups and medication refills because of the fear of being judged, please call Ms. Tracy for a new patient appointment. Ms. Tracy has a beautiful spirit that can put a smile on your face at your most difficult times. I honestly don't know what life would be like without Torch Wellness, but I know what life was like before Ms. Kain and Ms. Tracy. "TORCH WELLNESS"… never forget the name. Join me in living my BEST LIFE with Torch Wellness.

I came to Torch Wellness in March, 2024. My decision to seek help from them came from a friend who was also a patient. I have suffered for years with anxiety and extremely poor coping skills which I tried to manage with self medication. No surprise here, I didn't work. I have seen at least three or four therapists over the years; however, none of them clicked for me. From the very first appointment with Lara I knew her approach was different.......it focused more on the "why" this was going on and less on the, "let's just make you feel better". She is professional in every way. Extremely easy to talk with, nothing is off limits. Lara is very unique in her profession. She has trained under some of the best in the country, and she has viewed psychotherapy at every level. If medications are needed, she does not hesitate to use them for the healing process; however, it is the root of your problem that is her major focus. I went there with total confidence I knew what was causing my anxiety and lack of coping. Within a month, with her help, I discovered I was so wrong. She has the innate ability to look through what you believe is the problem and decipher what it really is. Sometimes I think her approach is as simple as the patient "can't see the forest for the trees". After a short time with her in therapy both myself and my family began to see a huge change in me. In some ways it made me sad. Why? Because I had wasted so much time trying other methods and she was able to identify the issues, and develop a plan in such a short period of time. I do believe winding up in her office is more than a coincidence. If I had one regret it would be I did not see her sooner........she is an incredible therapist with impeccable credentials. I could not recommend her more highly. Also, thanx to her assistant, Tracey, who keeps everything running smoothly.

The Food and Mood class was wonderful! My relationship with food has always been purely to get personal satisfaction from what I eat. I never paid attention to the nutrition my body really needs to function at its best. Having depression and anxiety, I learned in this class that my body and moods are connected to my food. Lara really explains so much about the food and mood connection and it makes sense, and I can feel the difference personally. Since taking the class, my head feels clearer, my mood is better, and my depression has lifted some. I am a sugar addict, and since I started implementing Lara’s suggestions, I haven’t had any real cravings for sugar. I’ve lost a five pounds since taking the class and haven’t felt deprived at all. I’ve just been front loading on all the “good for your mood and body food” and then naturally my body doesn’t crave the junk. So much better than the stress of a “diet”!! Lara is a wealth of information, explains things clearly and simply, and is so wonderful to work with. I love taking her classes and working with her personally on some of my more difficult life issues. She is the best!!
