Client Testimonials

Strive has assisted several of my TBI clients over the past few years. My clients were able to regain community access to do things they loved with the help of their wonderful therapists!
A. Bouldin
I am a nurse taking care of a stroke patient and Mary Palacios, her therapist has helped my patient to be more outgoing and willing to try new things. Thank you!
M. Muller
Strive keeps me active during shelter in place. Thanks.
P. Stanchi
As a case manager, working with Strive is a perfect experience. On multiple levels, they understand the value of getting our people out and involved in their communities. They are success-oriented, collaborative, dedicated to the clients’ needs, fun, and competent. Our clients enjoy the activities and love the gains they make with Strive. It is easy to refer to Strive because there is always a great result with great value. I recommend Strive to any other busy professional who wants peace of mind that their client/patient is in good helpful hands.
The Strive Recreational Therapist working with my client has had a tremendous influence on the quality of life for her. She introduced strategies that transformed my client from being fearful, disorganized and overwhelmed into a stronger, more independent woman. My client now uses a Franklin planner, creates lovely paintings and sells her work, authored and published a book of poems and fully participates in her community. Thank you!
I have seen firsthand the difference that Strive has made in the home of a patient with a serious brain injury. A new meaning to living life to the fullest!
