I took my nephew there and I’m telling you don’t go to this center. They collect your insurance and assigned us to a psychiatrist that was definitely not sober. They are the worst don’t take your love ones there 😞

The worst therapists I've ever met! I've been going here for six months and I received no help from them whatsoever all they do is drain your insurance money do yourself a favor go somewhere else

That place is trash they not for the people, nor they don't care what you are going through. I would never ever come back there ever again.

They were discussing their ...
