Report
Do not go to this office. My therapist left the practice and they (the owner, Kelly) continued to bill me. That only stopped when I threatened to sue them for fraud.
However, they continued to send me "reminder notices" for appt. I no longer had (because they locked out my therapist from closing out her accounts) so all of the google/ notifications continued to go on despite contacting them numerous times. The way an owner treats her employees says it all. The point of a practice like this is to help people. The idea that she would try to cease contact between myself and my therapist

Bad customer service and couldn't get an appointment for in person. I think they push virtual because I believe that's what THEY prefer.

I started seeing Dr Swift about a month ago. He is extremely caring and listens . He gives me what I would say is state of the art treatment. I would highly recommend this doctor and this practice.

This is a beautiful, relaxing space. However, the business model falls way short. I was quickly assigned to an individual therapist. However, the communication with the agency deteriorated. I was hoping to receive a psychiatrist/med management provider through Mind Body as a one-stop shop. It took 3 months and a few tries for someone to respond at all. I declined because communication when it comes to medication management is paramount to safety, and if communication is poor just for scheduling, what about during important times?
