Associates in Behavioral Science

“This place helped me soooooo much! Idk what I would've done.... In the beginning I was going through it.... I was on medication but stopped since I don't want to depend on it... Ever since ive stopped I felt like myself ... I wanna thank my therapist who helps me! Shout out to him :) They're so sweet and nice.. never gave me issues! It's the place I can talk about my problems without being judged! Shout out to the Front desk as well ... So sweet and nice (even though I never had a full conversation with them). Lol”

“I had the most horrible experience here. I used to live in the area and desperately needed help in regards to depression and suicidal ideation after being assaulted. During intake the recommended me to go to a inpatient hospital with a waitlist, but I decided I wanted therapy. I told them I was willing to try medication, but wasn't completely sure as I tried it in the past and didn't like it. I then talked to the psychiatrist before scheduling therapy, who then proceeded to schedule me two different anti depressants at the same time. I never took them and started therapy. Things were kinda ok, until I talk to the nurse practitioner Ewa. I told her what I was experiencing and recommended me to go to Saint Anthony Hospital. I went there (in a uber I paid for) and automatically was told I was hearing voices which was never the case. I was in that hospitals er for 6 hours, never saw a doctor and when I went up to psych and saw her I told her I wanted to leave, due to hospital staff having me sit in a room for 3 hours after being sent to psych. She refused to let me leave saying I was hearing voices and I was a danger. I never in my life heard voices, nor was diagnosed with anything that could cause that. She said she didn't feel like it was safe for me to leave the hospital and that I couldn't have anyone come get me, and that the only option I had was to be transferred to a different hospital under her supervision. I ended calling my dad to attempt to come get me, and after arguing with hospital staff, and the people in psych committing insurance fraud by saying I was given medicine I never received, I was released by a different nurse. I told the manager of Associates what happened, and the only thing they could arrange for her to not be in the building while I was there and the whole situation ended up making my mental health worse. I then eventually had to stop seeing my therapist because she told me we could not fully talk about things in my life that were upsetting me because I was not medicated, all the while I'm getting upcharged for every visit while my insurance was supposed to cover everything. After I left, I asked for my records to try to set up a lawsuit, but that claimed I could not get my records because of an outstanding balance. Ewa still currently works there and ultimately needs to be fired for the trauma she inflicted on me. I am still traumatized and have not received and type of apology or anything from that incident. I would not recommend this place at all as their goal is to dumb you down with medication and take your money. I am now in a class action lawsuit because of Ewa and Saint Anthony because of a data breech. Go anywhere else except here.”

“Let me start by saying this For approximately 3 years I was happy with the care and compassion I received from my counselor and therapist. Recommending friends and family. Problem one My insurance changed, Alfa refused to speak with my insurance to solve the issue and that was the end of my therapy there. (2022) Problem two My husband is currently a client and I have permission to speak on his behalf. About a year ago I began getting charges on my bank statements. I tried to speak with Alfa about this matter after poor communication with reception and she wasn’t in the office until tomorrow.I called Alfa the next day and was put on hold multiple times until reception told me my debit card would no longer be charged for my husband‘s account and I was not allowed to speak on my husband’s behalf. Problem three, My bank alerted me of a charge from the office. I called to complain and fix the situation AGAIN, asking for Alfa AGAIN. As usual, she won’t be in until tomorrow. Her receptionist was horrible and I reflected the same energy back to her. I called back “tomorrow “ and Alfa was not available (shocker) but the receptionist seem to know every bit of information, my phone number and who I was when I was calling. I was put on hold over five times waiting to find out when I was going to be reimbursed. The receptionist came on and said that I will be reimbursed within 5 to 7 business days. But did you take my card information off his account or will I again be charged? It’s crazy how they can steal somebody’s money but can’t replace it the same day. Overall, if Alfa and her office staff weren’t there, they would have received five stars.”
