When you are new to something, it can be difficult to jump in whole-heartedly. You can research, read reviews, check social media and blogs till your head spins but you may not be convinced. This was the case for me with Delos Therapy. I started working for Delos as the Office Manager at the beginning of September. Before coming for my interview, I didn’t even know Delos existed. Upon receiving an invitation to interview, I did as much research as I could. Blogs, news articles, social media, Yelp reviews… you name it I read it. While all outlets had stunning reviews, I was still unsure of what I might be getting myself into. Even post interview, in which it was clearly explained to me exactly what Delos does and what they are about, I was still not fully onboard with their concept. It wasn’t until a few weeks later that I truly understood what Delos is all about.

I was sitting in our Lincoln Park office one quiet Saturday morning and as one loyal client was leaving her session, a brand new one sat on the couch awaiting her first. The exchange started simple: the new client asked the veteran what she thought of the therapy. With complete conviction the veteran stated that Delos has changed her life. She didn’t know where she would be without Delos. Usually this kind of conversation would have the skeptic in me wondering how much we had paid her. However, by now I had spent significant time in two of our three offices and heard the exact same thing from every client that has come through our doors. Her sincerity and gratitude was equal to that of someone who’s life was saved. Her words were simple yet so powerful. She had both the new client and me on board and then some in just a few sentences.

To our clients, Delos is doing the seemingly impossible: we are giving people their lives back. After seeing us, people can do things that they had once written off for good. This veteran client’s words made me feel amazing. I am beyond excited to have joined a team that is truly making a difference in this world.
