"We started seeing Dawn because our 30 year marriage was in trouble. Dawn was very insightful in identifying the issues and underlying unaddressed problems. She provided the necessary tools for us to utilize and help us work through old patterns we developed over the years."
"I contacted Dawn after a referral from my EAP (employee assistance program), and after spending a few minutes on the phone with her, I felt she might be able to help me with my personal struggles. Dawn provided the help I needed to get through a tough time in my life. After a second failed marriage, strained relationships with my children, struggling with financial difficulties and living alone, I needed some guidance. Dawn helped provide the insight into my personality and my past that put things in perspective. I can honestly say I'm in a much better place now with myself and my children and Dawn played a major role in helping me get there."
"Dawn Rike is an amazing and exceptional counselor! I have worked with Dawn to overcome a very painful past. Dawn, through lots of prayer and lots of wisdom, helped me to grow from the pain of my past, overcome it and move forward with life. I don't know what else to say about Springs of Joy counselor, Dawn Rike, because 'thank you' is simply not enough."
"I came to Dawn not more than a year ago. I was beaten down and broken-hearted from living a life to please myself, the world and trying to please Jesus. I was straddling a sharp, painful fence. Dawn's gentle, patient, and understanding guidance helped me make a decision to get both feet on the ground. I stand today a strong and ever-confident man of God!"
“About a year before I met Dawn Rike I was on antidepressants. When those antidepressants started adding more side effects to my depression, more medications were added by my Doctor. Soon I was barely functioning and I knew that if medication wasn’t working then I had to find a different way, so I discontinued with my Doctor and stopped all medications. After some time of trying to handle the depression on my own and both public and private panic attacks I decided to seek alternative help. A kind Doctor recommended I see a counselor. So, that very day I searched online and was brought immediately to Springs Of Joy. She answered her phone right away and saw me that same day. I knew I was where I needed to be when I saw her face. I believe God used Dawn to save my marriage, my health and my faith in Him. Today I’m medication free and thriving.”
