That's because you're gullible. That woman also works at that center and, as any church preacher, she's saying that religious rites that her church prescribes work. In reality this stuff doesn't work. Christians just pretend and say one stuff like they're happy, don't watch porn, don't have sex... but when you look at statistics you get something else. Like Bible Belt leads in STDs, teen pregnancies, depression, divorces, even HIV, not to mention hate groups. What actually works is educating teenagers about sex and contraception.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
