I can honestly say my experience at TK was amazing! I was having flashbacks everyday, my binge eating was getting out of hand, I was stressed to the maximum, and I knew I couldn t get treatment for my PTSD or BED here in NJ. The therapists & Dr. Lee were amazing. Most of the BHAs were extremely sympathetic & accommodating. I had a lot of major breakthroughs with the art therapist Peta, She knew how to get me to open up and not be afraid. My therapist Dominque saved my marriage, my husband finally opened up in therapy and felt she didn t take sides. The interpersonal relationship & DBT therapist Syede helped me realize my expectations for my husband weren t realistic and gave me the tools I needed to get the support I was seeking. Most of the food was good, my favorites were the cinnamon bread, Alfredo sauce, Tex mex salad, and chicken fingers. I didn t understand the food plan when I was there and thought I was eating way too much my doctor here in NJ said what they did was brilliant and it worked. They were a tad bit understaffed at times but once the patient advocate was called that was fixed. The things I would have liked to know was to have the phone numbers I need to call written down, to have comfortable shoes without laces, that you can not vape and you need to bring cigarettes if you smoke, and be prepared for either freezing cold rooms or hot temperatures if you go in the summer. The air conditioner worked great in some rooms but in others not at all. Things I would pack if you plan on going is a battery operated razor, a battery operated alarm clock, products without a pump, and stickers for your water bottle. If you are sending mail or of state it can take a few weeks. Honestly I feel it was the perfect fit for me and I highly recommend it.
