I went here. I got the help I needed, yes, but most of my peers there were backstabbing B WORDS. That's not issues though. My issue is the schooling. I was in 7th grade doing 2nd grade work because I wasn't a certain age. And, the clinical team constantly refused home passes me and my therapist, Mrs. Ellen Rebman and eventually Ms. Victoria Anney requested. I had been doing much better, they just constantly changed the rules on me. As far as I believe, that was targeted. I liked the peers, an...

My daughter has had a really rough life. Trauma after trauma and was acting out in a way that was harmful not only to herself, but other's as well. We sent her to this facility in hopes that they would be able to assist her in learning cooping skills and the skills she needs to be a functioning adult in this world. We messed up so hard sending her to this trash facility! She was jumped 3 different times, after seeking help from staff to keep her safe. The first time, she was on a 10ft rule wi...

This place is absolutely terrible, the staff picks favorites, the food is terrible and theres flies all over the cafe. your “not allowed” to have feelings, the drama OMG. fights break out and staff does absolutely nothing about it. i do not recommend this place for your children at all.

October 12th, 2024

I was discharged from here on 3-4-2022. this place at first isn't so bad til the drama hits in and the staff show their true sides. I had some lovely staff like Ms. Fletcher, Ms. Walls, Ms. McBeth, and especially Ms. El-Amin and Ms. Wally. But some other staff picked favorites, treated us terrible just cause we were mentally unstable, started some drama theirselves just for the fun of it. One time I mentioned how I was about to be jumped, and they pretty much said they wouldn't do anything ti...

I was there for 3 months. It wasn’t the best at all you were literally treated like animals. You have to eat what they have or starve. I almost died there because they wouldn’t listen to me and take me to the hospital not until I had a 104 fever and my mother was calling daily. They had a few good staff but all the treatment they supposedly had wasn’t there. The schooling wasn’t good at all it was so low at elementary student could do it. I was continuously told I would never see my son again...

I left this place more traumatized than I came In I was placed in this facility twice and the second time around some staff threw it up in my face that it was my second time there I even got body shamed by some staff not just the kids once I left the facility 2 male staff that no longer work there tried to get with me be careful I would not leave ur children here

May 12th, 2023

After reading these reviews, I was terrified when I found out that MYA is where my child was placed for treatment. She has now been there for a year, and I can say that, in my experience, MYA is exactly what/where she needed. No place is perfect and I'm sure anyone can find something to complain about, but I truly don't have real complaints. This is not being written to minimize another person's experience but I can say that the staff at MYA that I have dealt with (and I deal with staff on...

WOW! Some of these Google reviews had me really wondering about MYA when we decided to enroll our Grandson that we have custody of. Obviously, I don't know their experiences but I can confidently say that MYA has been nothing but professional and communicates very well with us when there is an issue or if we call just to check on him. I have been nothing but impressed with everyone I have met or talked to so far and I do firmly believe they care about the kids. If you have a need for MYA, ...
