Having to sit in a desk ALL DAY in a corner because you didn’t get enough points the previous day was a bit much. Couldn’t have your makeup hair ties or eat/socialize with others. My hair is and always has been very thick and frizzy and not being able to have something so simple as a hair tie because I didn’t earn enough points by being a super good kid was just cruel. I get and agree there should be consequences for actions like taking certain privileges away for bad behavior but a lot of these staff were just mean. We’d get in trouble if we fell asleep which would cause points to be lost but it’s a bit hard to focus when you’re doped up on several different medications. I’ll never forget when a girl fell asleep on the couch in the adolescent unit and when they woke her up she panicked and began to cry but since she wouldn’t calm down they put her in the padded room. She had even ran to her room to attempt to calm down but they wouldn’t let her. I get they were doing their job by watching her making sure she wasn’t harming herself but there was more torment than supervision going on. Take your kids to therapy. Do it together. Address the problems together. Don’t punish your kids and lock them up because you can’t handle him/her. They’re...

It’s been 6 years since I went to this forsaken place and I still have nightmares about the screams of children from the padded room. They were cruel for no reason. We were not allowed to speak to our peers and if we did we were isolated. I remember how terrible it was. I was in the adolescent unit. These people are not helpful. They were so rude to me in a very dark time in my life. They treated us like prisoners. We got ten minutes on the phone every Saturday if we were “good”. This is not a place to send someone in a crisis. They treated us like we needed modeled into perfectly obedient robots. I will never forget the way I had to eat away from everyone because I had asked the nurses to call me the correct name countless times and they continued to pronounce it incorrectly. When I stopped answering to the wrong name I was punished and excluded. The counselor blamed everything on me and didn’t listen at all to what I was struggling with. This place is terrible and you couldn’t pay me to go back here. If I could give zero stars I would. Rhonda and Courtney you two were the worst healthcare workers I have ever met and I hope your pillow...

Started emdr with one therapist, on average multi trauma patients take 6 sessions to resolve inner conflicts and trauma, after about 4 or 5 I was switched units, and also switched therapists, I told them the emdr was working but they forced the new therapist who wasnt licensed in emdr so therefore couldnt continue my therapy, she wasnt very good and just read us books and made us memorize the details, didnt help my mental health just distracted me, if I wouldve had a couple more emdr sessions I think I wouldve felt way better, after starting with the new therapist it felt like all the progress I made during emdr just left because I didnt complete it, wouldnt reccomend sending your child here, other than that, theres no communication, you get into trouble for talking to other kids, theres hardly any physical activity, only went to the gym once or twice a week for 45 minutes and only outside once every 2 weeks, theyll just throw meds at you and if you say it doesnt work they just give you a new one, most staff nice just kinda lazy and dont care, ms, jerry is the best...
