The family institute at northwestern university Reviews

It depends on the therapist you see, but the Institute is a great organization

Incredible service. I love my therapist (she's an intern/ student)! She's better than the 3 other professional counselors I saw before her--combined.

Understood that, with the pandemic, there isn't enough care available to those in need. However, they will put you on a wait list, then, after 3 months, remove you with a "do not reply" email. So unprofessional, and I don't understand how anyone cycles off of the wait list with this practice.

no one answers, they don't return phone calls, have waited a long long time for someone to get back to me. They also hide reviews, that should tell you something, they suck

Good for group therapy with very nice people and clean facilities!

I was told I'd have 13 sessions by Incia Rashid, after I was unable to change our weekly time, I was told I would no longer be seen by her and would be transferred to another therapist. Those therapists have no availability. Incia will drop you after you invest money, time and emotional strength in your sessions. Her boss, Velizar Nikiforov, a creep, who's in his own words studied my file and has decided what kind of therapy I need, "has taken a special interest in me and told registration to direct all calls to him".

Amazing place! I first went in a chronic severely depressed state and I keep getting better and better. This is following twenty-plus therapists and at least twenty years of visits. The Family Institute spends hours diagnosing before matching you with an appropriate therapist, all of whom are graduate students at the university. They are closely supervised There is a sliding fee scale, which is the only way I was able to get help back then, I cannot recommend them highly enough! If you think you might be able to improve the quality of your life, you are right! And these wonderful people are the ones to go to.
