Advent Group Ministries

San jose place was great, helped me on my journey. I saw Bruce pickit. He was very understanding and helpful. He has alot of experience, some of it from personal life. He can save you but can help you save yourself.

Advent is a great place! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. I was very lucky to find a place that really helped me. I was seeing Rachel Connett and she is a great counselor/therapist. She goes well beyond the call of her job to ensure that you are in a good safe place. I really appreciated all she did for me in the years at Advent. She provided me several tools that really helped me. The front desk is extremely helpful and will respond to you in a timely fashion. Advent takes mental health very seriously and will do everything they can to help you. The atmosphere is very safe so you can talk knowing you are not being judged.

I have been seeing Bruce Pickett, an LMFT, at the Advent Group Ministries. Bruce is easy to talk to, insightful, empathetic, and challenges me to see my own fault in whatever issue we are discussing. My husband and I saw him a couple of years ago, concerning drug addiction issues with my younger son, and the chaos that this brought into our lives. Bruce made it clear to me that I was enabling my son, and that it was time to show some "tough love." Thanks to his advice, and our follow-through, my son "hit bottom," and made it to rehab.

I wouldn't be alive without Advent and the many caring people that have worked here. Truly an amazing organization. I can't thank them enough!

This place I would give a 5 star if it wasn’t for them i don’t know where I would be I want to thank you guys for changing my life and making me a better person 2016 graduation

This organization seems to be fraught with supervisors/management that display an wide array of questionable character and intent. I question the credentials of each person I’ve talked with. Prevarication seems to prevail at every level, and clandestine activity seems to permeate the entire organization. I personally regret exposing my loved one to their seemingly inept and hypocritical ways, and advise anyone looking for an effective and altruistic intervention program to look elsewhere. They appear to do just the bare minimum, and then ‘blame’ the shortcomings on the client. So don’t be fooled by the website. The pictures portrayed, I am reasonably certain, we’re chosen to project an image to in attempt to masque the real story.

RE: The Nest:
I was informed it was Shut it Down!!! HOW can it still be up and running?
8 IMMEDIATE RISKS!? In a facility for VULNERABLE INJURED MINORS! Those are only what they've been 'caught' for reviewed last in 2010!
See calqualitycare org for the many violations & seriousness of such.
If only I could give specifics without causing further harm to victims and subjecting myself to suit.
Please do your homework on this facility prior to funding or advocating!

Very unethical
