Of course this was years ago in the 70's. Ill never forget this place it was the best thing that ever happened to me in my younger years!

My name is Louanne. I was admitted to Ryther Child Center on August 11, 1981. My experience as a resident at age 11 was beyond horrendous. I was singled out by staff and picked on by the other kids. I was humiliated and pushed away when all More

Great Place helped me when I was a kid. Very therapeutic staff and a close knit community. Probably the best pre adolescent mental health facility in Seattle.

The staff at Ryther make a profound difference in the lives of children who have experienced trauma.

Spent some time here as a patient , really good program , Mr Hall and Basheer by far the coolest guys on campus. really appreciated them . Oliver was my case manager real cool dude. staff was very helpfull and understanding . this was in 2011. remember it like it was yesterday .

Amazing staff and therapists. I got admitted here when I was 12. I was a struggling young girl and Ryther really did help me. Yeah, I had my ups and downs, like... alot of them, but now I'm 16 and I have a job and have been living my best life!

Ryther does deeply meaningful work here in our community and much of the time, is the only advocate for children and families navigating the difficult foster care process. They are local heroes!

Excessive staff turnover without proper communication or patient therapy coverage along with poor billing practices..

The billing office is terrible. They have changed my co-pay for multiple visits; they re-billed me for visits I had already paid for, increasing the co-pay by $38. Their billing system and invoices are unnecessarily complicated. The therapist was not supportive of the relationship between my child and myself, as well as the family we had created. In fact, the therapist, in cunning collaboration with my child's father, assisted in the plot to have my child whisked away to the other side of the state. They planned to do this while I was out of town, so that I would come home and she would be gone. The therapist coached my child to say terrible things about me and our family. Now my child believes she is better off living a lie with a parent who has chosen not to be part of her life for 7 years. I would not recommend Ryther to anyone. The psychiatrist was terrible, as well. All in all a bad experience all the way around.

High turnover. My kids psychiatrist doesn t even let us know when to reschedule. I ve sent emails either slow response or no response. When I ve gotten a response it s vague and indifferent. Billing has made more then one mistake and one bill that accidentally came to use was billing the insurance for over 28k for a few months. Mind you my kid is an out patient. The wise program has been good.

Have done some PR events there and the staff is courteous and fun. Highly doubt they torture individuals.
