I am Mary Booth. I would go with a minus one for this ridiculous organization. Truly unprofessional. The person who did my intake just sounded like she was doing me a favor. She needs an evaluation with her supervisor. I will never call them again. Period. The end.

In my opinion, they are not equipped to handle family concerns, especially the crisis center. They actually make a bad situation worse

I have a friend who went there, and all they did is shove medicines, and the so called therapists are interns. What a shame my friend doesn't have insurance other than Husky

Biggest mistake I ever made going here, they label you as someone your not,they treat you like a low life looser, they do not have a clue of what they are doing, or who you are ,the doctor constantly wants to medicate me, all I wanted was help getting off of meds, they want to send you off to some intensive drug treatment , and if you dont follow what they want you to do , they will kick you out , not a good place worse experience I ever had.

Awful! Nasty woman at front desk. The Groups are a joke. The Staff is extremely disorganized and only know the basics about mental healthcare.
