    ZERO STARS IF I COULD. They are unprofessional and lack…read morecommon communication skills which is wildly ironic for a therapy group. Tina Leavitt and Meghan Ryan were the utmost disrespectful and unprofessional beings I have ever encountered. Double booking a little child's first appointment is seriously not okay. Great first impression and the last! I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY

    Clients beware! If I could give them a negative review, I would. The owner and lead therapist,…read moreTina, is biased and thinks way too highly of herself. She bases her biases on the play therapy she is doing and is not self-aware enough to understand that play therapy must be done in a very specific way for it not to be biased. She does not run her business in the way that play therapy is done correctly. She makes overarching assumptions based on a child's play, and much of these assumptions are 100% untrue and just not accurate. The quality of care my children have received there are sub-par, one of my children is terrified of Tina, claiming that if she tries to get help from her, she will tell her other parent, of whom she is afraid. I am told no follow-up questions are asked of the child and sometimes some follow-up with especially older children is needed to figure out the real issues. If you cannot get the appropriate information from play or if the information is then incorrect what is the point of doing play therapy at all? Tina also uses interns. These interns build up a rapport with your child and then leave the practice. I understand the need of students to get practice hours and need a place to train for their degree. I do not fault them for needing to work somewhere. My issue is how the owner incorporates interns into the sessions. Tina is not around when these sessions with interns are happening and is often not even in the building. I am sure they meet later to discuss a client, however, for the most part she is completely out of the loop and it is tough to know how much that happens. I find working with individuals who think super highly of themselves that that they cannot admit any fault or if issues could be possible to be very difficult. I find them to be more concerned with themselves than their clients. Tina is one of these types of people. She knows it all, and thinks everything she does is perfect and without reproach. If your child is a good communicator, stay away from this office! You are better off going to a REAL talk therapist. I would say any child over 7 has outgrown this kind of therapy. Tina is not easy to work with overall, thinks highly of herself, and is a terrible communicator. Stay away from this practice!

    I sought voluntary counseling at Rhode Island Counseling Associates on Reservoir Avenue in Cranston…read morebecause I genuinely wanted to improve my mental health. As both a client and a certified behavioral health clinician, I made the decision to be completely honest and transparent with my therapist from the very beginning so I could receive the most effective treatment possible. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite of what I expected. In my opinion, my confidential information was shared in a way that violated my rights as a patient under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This not only affected my own treatment but also had a negative impact on another client's treatment, ultimately resulting in both of us being discharged from the practice. To my knowledge, none of the recognized exceptions to patient confidentiality applied in my situation. I was not a danger to myself or others, I did not disclose child or elder abuse, and there was no court order or legal subpoena requiring disclosure of my private information. As someone who works in the behavioral health field, I understand that patient confidentiality is one of the most fundamental ethical and legal responsibilities of any healthcare provider. I have filed a formal complaint regarding my experience. My purpose in writing this review is to help others make an informed decision before beginning treatment. Therapy is built on trust. Clients should feel safe being honest with their therapist without fearing that their personal disclosures will be shared inappropriately or used against them. This was not court-ordered, DCF-mandated, or otherwise required treatment. I voluntarily sought therapy because I wanted to become healthier and improve my well-being. Instead, this experience significantly damaged my trust in the therapeutic process and has made it difficult for me to feel confident opening up to future therapists. If confidentiality and privacy are important to you, I encourage you to carefully consider this experience before choosing this practice. Every patient has the right to expect that their protected health information will be handled in accordance with HIPAA and accepted professional standards. Those rights are not optional, nor do they vary from state to state--they are fundamental protections that every patient should be able to rely on when seeking medical or mental health care.

    Terrible care from providers, even worse treatment from the staff. The rudest and most…read moreunprofessional incompetent people. The state should shut them down. If you value your health care at all, go elsewhere.
