    I brought my daughter who has autism in for an assessment for SSI. I thought Mary was through and…read moreprofessional as well as kind and easy to converse with. She listened to me regarding my daughter and even suggested she could have ADHD as well since Autism and ADHD can go hand in hand and she explained it to me in a way that makes sense. I had read reviews before I came in and was a little nervous, but I thought she was really nice and I felt satisfied with how the appointment went and definitely recommend to not let negative or bad reviews deter you from seeing her. :) Thank you.

    This woman nearly ruined my life in the early 2000s. I was a teenager struggling with an autoimmune…read moreillness that caused a serious hormonal imbalance, leaving me severely depressed and feeling completely unlike myself. I needed compassion, competent guidance, and support. Instead, Mary treated me with suspicion, judgment, and an absolutely appalling lack of professionalism. She repeatedly interrogated me about whether I was sexually active or smoked cigarettes, even though I consistently told her that I did neither. She instigated conflict between my parents and me, attributed statements to me that I never made, and discussed other patients' confidential information during appointments that were supposed to be devoted to counseling my family and me. Mary also required me to complete an extremely intrusive questionnaire filled with explicit and uncomfortable questions. When my answers did not support the conclusions she had apparently already drawn about me, she accused me of lying and "putting her on." She then claimed that my answers somehow proved I was keeping secrets. She contacted my academic counselor at school, leaving me feeling completely humiliated and embarrassed. She also told my parents that I should not be allowed to have a lock on my bedroom door and instructed them to place me on "suicide watch," despite the fact that I had never once expressed any desire or intention to harm myself or anyone else. Mary also recommended that my parents throw away my makeup and anything she considered "goth" or "punk." She made me feel like some kind of mutant simply because I liked alternative styles and convinced my parents that the way I dressed was a "cry for help." I am now nearly 42 years old, and I still cannot believe the lasting trauma she caused during an already vulnerable period of my life. If dressing goth was supposedly my "cry for help," then I guess I am still crying...because I still dress alt/goth. I also have a stable, well-paying career, own my home, and have no debt. My personal style was never the problem. As for the autoimmune illness and hormonal imbalance she apparently failed to understand, I am still dealing with the medical consequences and will require hormone replacement for the rest of my life. There was no hidden "cry for help" in my clothing or makeup. The only cry for help was coming from my body, which was telling me that something was medically wrong. More than two decades later, I remain deeply disturbed by the way Mary treated me and the damage she caused within my family. This review reflects my firsthand experience as her patient. If you want to be mentally and verbally toyed with while your family dynamic is completely disrupted, Mary may be the person for you. Everyone else -- especially parents seeking compassionate, nonjudgmental care for a vulnerable teenager -- should stay away.

    I've never written a review like this but I feel like I owe it to people who are in need. If you…read moreare looking for quality mental health services, DO NOT come here. One of my children went through 3 different therapists in 6 months & I myself saw the Dr in charge there & every single time I left feeling worse & more confused. Not to mention the rude receptionist who will never treat you cordially or with respect that patients deserve. Don't waste your hard earned money or your valuable time here. Go somewhere that will actually give you the help that you deserve.

    The staff make me super uncomfortable. I don't believe they understand how to work with diverse…read morepopulations. Dr. Maria was dismissive and kept the initial sessions relatively brief. There are roaches in the therapy room. They also don't list on their website that it's a majority of graduate students seeing patients, which is fine, a lot of the grad students care more than people who have gotten their licenses and stopped caring. But it should still be stated that you'll likely be seen by a student therapist. There are no licensed clinicians except for the owner's son (Dr. Ian, I think), which I really odd for a family to own a clinic together. Seems like some ethical standards are being broken, surely you can't expect them to remain impartial, nepotism is going to happen when you work with loved ones. Also, why would you want to work with your family? There's just not a lot of diversity with the staff, no one there speaks Spanish. It's required by law for them to have a translator or a Spanish-speaking therapist. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere before you regress.
