Report
Do not go here. When I would tell my doctor I was having negative effects from the medication I was put on he would roll his eyes and tell me to keep taking them. After I was on the same medication for over 6 months I was told I would have to deal with the side effects and I would be fine. I can not stress enough. DO NOT GO HERE.

Report
I experienced a lack of professionalism with this organization. I called over two weeks ago and have checked in three times without any response at all. The therapist suggested for me was Mark Jacobson. Mr. Jacobson has never returned my call to say whether he could work with me or not. I'd think that a therapist would be more compassionate and understanding with someone seeking help. It's a very vulnerable place to begin with. Now I'm back to square one. I hope this helps anyone else out there. Don't give up...
