These stars are for Erie the Director of the Austin Branch and Kristy the Admissions Director…read more Thank you. You are in the business of saving lives. You saved mine. Thank you for fighting for me. Thank you for standing up for me. It healed something in me that I didn't even know was there. The most ironic part? Officially, I was never even a client of the The Meadows. I was trying to on-board and the psychiatrist who reviewed my screening declined to treat me across the board at all The Meadows facilities. Was he really trying to protect me? Was he trying to protect himself, The Meadows? I hope it was both. Only he really knows. I did not feel protected by him. It did not feel like a gentle let down. He seemed annoyed. He made a comment like of course he could decline me as a patient, like I must be stupid for not understanding that. I write this review to thank Erie and Kristy and also to warn others you may get declined for treatment if you have really bad trauma. Getting declined and rejected (that's what it is) made me want to die. Having Erie and Kristy fight for me, made me want to live. The Meadows referred me out to Menninger in Houston. Unfortunately at this time, when it comes to attachment, hospitals, IOP's, PHP's, trying to trust, I don't think I have anymore "stickiness" left in me.

My daughter attended this facility as well as Willow House in Arizona, and unfortunately, both…read moreexperiences were deeply negative and left our family with tremendous emotional pain. I won't go into every detail, but I have serious concerns about the medications prescribed to my daughter at Willow House and the chronic body pain and other physical issues she has experienced. She was also placed in a program she repeatedly expressed was not appropriate for her needs, yet her concerns were ignored. These facilities seem more concerned with making money than genuinely helping the people entrusted to their care. Families come to these programs hoping to find help for their loved ones, not to watch them suffer while their concerns go unheard. Mental health care should be about patient safety, well-being, and recovery... NOT profit. As a mother, it is heartbreaking to feel that the people who were supposed to help my daughter failed her. The emotional toll on our family has been immense, and I cannot help but wonder how many other families have endured similar experiences. I urge families to do their research, ask difficult questions, and think carefully before trusting these facilities with someone they love. No family should have to go through what ours has endured.

Excellent collection of mental health professionals. Depression, social anxiety, spousal abuse,…read moreobsessive procrastination, anorexia, grief, et al. They provide tools to help clients grapple with all of these issues. If I could offer more than five stars, I would attach as many as possible to this review. Outside of their counseling expertise, they have great administrative staff. Many payment options available. I needed receipts to submit last minute before my FSA money was deleted. They mailed them the day I called and I got them the very next day!!! No charge to me for the postage, which was greatly appreciated. Seriously. A lot of other offices would have been like, "You can drive over and pick them up at our front desk."

This is just regarding Diana Schaefer. The facility has been beyond kind and helpful, and I hope to…read morefind a therapist here that fits my needs. -- Years and years ago, a therapist told me I was a whore for kissing a boy on the first date. I thought that would forever be my worst story of therapy gone wrong, of a therapist superimposing their own beliefs and issues on me. Diana hit a new record. She "fired" me as a client and pulled wildly unethical moves before doing so. I wholly believe that there is a time to part ways when therapy isn't serving the client or when a client is rejecting help from the therapist to everyone's detriment. Therapists have just as much of a right to end the relationship as clients do. The reason I'm writing this has nothing to do with the farewell and everything to do with how it was handled. I have an eating disorder. I made it clear from the start that I didn't care that she didn't specialize in them. I'd had enough therapy around eating disorders and wanted to take a new approach. I also told her in our first session that if she thought it wasn't a fit to have open communication because I would be doing so. I've played the "suffer through a relationship that isn't working" game too much at this point in therapy. We had weekly sessions for months. I thought many of them were helping. But then I told her how many calories I consumed during the week. That was undeniably the point where she flipped. We talked for a month or so more. She started talking to my dietician more. That seemed logical to me. And then she started telling my therapist I needed to go to treatment. Asking her why she hadn't suggested it or wasn't pushing it on me. (She has.) I am in no way a high risk anorexic. Perhaps treatment wouldn't hurt but my life right now prioritizes above something that isn't necessary. She pressured me and I said no, several times. And then the day came where she let me tell her about my life before interrupting and starting the conversation of removal of services provided. Like I mentioned, that alone wasn't the issue. What WAS the issue was that she had also called my dietician and tried to pressure her into leaving me. To the point of my dietician's discomfort and recognition that abandonment on that level would be detrimental and more harmful that good. (How Diana didn't see that, I don't know.) She gave me an ULTIMATUM of treatment or no therapy. She told me I COULD NOT go to therapy ANYWHERE until I dealt with my eating disorder. (And no, this wasn't just in reference to being cognitively unable to proceed with EMDR.) She wouldn't give me referrals. She made fun of the shirt I was wearing that day that said, "Mental health is health," because I wouldn't go to treatment. I was in utter shock during that last session so I didn't really have responses beyond saying no to treatment and that I understood where she was coming from. But none of those things are okay and I should have said that to her then. I regret that. Fuck that. I deserve therapy. Everyone does. She clearly spooked when eating disorder stuff came up, was not educated on it, and chose to bully and threaten me instead of just saying, "I'm not qualified in this topic and don't feel comfortable proceeding." Period. Period. Period. If you don't fit in her little box of qualifications, stay away. And if you pick up any of her own anxieties, leave. It's not worth wasting your time.

I was looking up Dr Taylor's phone number to check on an appointment time when I saw these reviews…read moreand felt like I needed to contribute as my experience with her appears to be vastly different from the others on here. After talking some with Dr. Taylor I think I've come to understand her a bit. She has a very valedictorian "by the book" mentality, and one of the most common complaints I've seen on here was about her requiring you to take tests. Sure enough she made me take some as well. At the time this was frustrating, however I am lucky enough to sister in PA school doing a rotation at a psych ward and she informed me these were the tests Drs are SUPPOSED to make you take to 100% ensure the medication you are taking is safe. I gave here a copy of my test results and she agreed with all of Dr Taylor's conclusions. Some Dr.s may feel comfortable prescribing medication without doing these tests, but Dr Taylor isnt one of those. Basically - if you are looking for someone to just give you drugs quickly - she is probably not the Dr. for you as she is going to require whatever tests are necessary to 100% clear you for a drug. The other major complain on here seems to be that you can expect to wait before seeing her. Dr Taylor definitely loves to talk to her patients, and I can tell that the reason why she is often running behind is because she loses track of time. She could definitely benefit from a secretary or some help to manage her time. Personally I don't really mind the wait since I feel like it is a decent trade off with her extremely flexible office hours, however i do think it is an area she could improve a bit (the only thing keeping her from being 5 stars). I also think she is a genuinely interesting person to talk to and enjoy her small talk. I think Dr Taylor is an extremely competent psychiatrist, that she genuinely wants to help, and might be the most "Austin" psychiatrist I've ever met. I just wanted to shed some light on another perspective and encourage people to give her a shot.

Well, it's been going on 17 years since I saw this absolutely horrible person. I'm still haunted…read moreby her behavior during my 3 visits. PLEASE PLEASE read these reviews....they are all telling the absolute truth. I cannot believe she is still practicing! I've reported her to the medical board and a few other places. She is a danger to our mental health! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT see her. Like I said she is a danger to our mental health. I would love to outline my 3 visits, list the names she called me, etc...but it would take forever and bring back HORRIBLE memories of this so-called Dr. Oh and after speaking with 4 health professionals about her, they all did not have a good reaction....they know of her. They could not verbally talk to me about her, but I got the message loud and clear.

As far as picking a therapist goes... You can't go wrong with Stewart Gallas. If you are struggling…read moreto change things within your life, he can help. I sincerely believe I would not be alive today, if it wasn't for him. I've struggled with extreme anxiety and depression my entire life. I thought I was doomed to a life of sadness. He was truly the first person who believed in my future... causing me to believe in it as well. He challenges me every single time we talk. Sometimes, I dig myself deep into the ground with feelings of uselessness... And without fail, he's always there with a ladder, showing me the way out. He isn't your typical pen and pad therapist. He gives you his undivided attention. He's solution-focused. He also happens to be hilarious-- which provides a sense of comfort and relief when things feel too heavy. He is extremely empathic, always going through the hard stuff with you, rather than just standing by on the sidelines. Seriously, this therapist rocks. If you are truly motivated to work on yourself, look no further than Stewart.

Most toxic therapist I have EVER encountered. BE CAREFUL. I was in marriage counseling.......and…read morelater learned that once your therapist is counsrling a couple you do not see the individuals separately; there were other questionable practices....."name calling" which I was later apologized to; I could go on but there is too much chronic PTSD to keep going. It has been 20 + years and additional therapists to keep on going. Just be careful and BE SAFE.
