The people here are genuinely kind and want to help, however they grossly misrepresented themselves to me twice. I was told they had DBT and paid for three sessions in addition to seeing their psychiatrist only to find out they don't have DBT when I was told twice by two different members that they do. This took a decent part of my summer away from me where I could have been getting the help that I actually needed. It's now the end of summer and I am in dire straits with less money in my pocket for treatment I could have given myself. This place is more of a therapy 101 center for people who haven't had therapy before or don't struggle with complex problems that need specialized care. To make matters worse I now need to scramble to find a psychiatrist because they don't offer medication management unless you're in therapy with them. And I use the word therapy loosely. Kind as the people may be I felt like I was in a guidance counselor's office. Although I won't lie, having my time taken by this place has put me in a significantly more dangerous place. And for that I'm still carrying around anger, especially when I made it clear in my first visit that DBT was what I was looking for. I get that you're a business but when you're in the mental health business things like this are life and death.
