I wish I would've saw this other review before scheduling! This lady was so unprofessional…read more We communicated via text only. We only sent a few originally back and forth and a time slot. I said I was coming from a previous apt and wrote it in my phone as 2pm. Mind you I had no communication before or reminders of when this apt was just one text that wasn't saved. I get there at 145pm, the environment was strange, no one was there & just rock music playing in this self promoted 'spa-like' counseling place. I wait and nothing so then I call the number. It immediately texts me saying I can only text it or call a different # it provided. Then it dawns on me I was trying to remember if my apt was at 1 or 2 since there was no confirmation. I ask the text number. Nothing. I call 2-3 times the other #. Nothing. To not further feel like a stalker I left one last attempt of a voicemail and one more text trying to communicate when the apt is. At 230, I left. I then shortly after get a passive aggressive text about a previous message of ours showing apt was 1pm. No call or text trying to further communicate. Just a screenshot of our first text which I didn't have. No reminders. Nothing. I also don't get why I was trying harder to communicate and clear up this apt being our first schedule more than her. I am so glad I have experience with other professionals in this field & a foundation of counseling otherwise I can see those being vulnerable feeling so off-put that this personal is a professional. Probably why a lot of people don't respect some counselors and why she has an open list while others are full. I'd definitely go to someone else before trying deal with someone who has communication style like that. Bullet dodged and I'd recommend doing the same!

As someone who was skeptical about counseling, Brandie definitely changed my mind. She's been a…read morehuge help through different situations and bumps along the way as well as a great listener.

Do yourself a favor and seek help from a real doctor with a PhD that knows what the hell they are…read moredoing. After moving to Idaho, I needed to find a new doctor to see for my ADHD medication. i was first diagnosed by a very renound specialist in Seattle and after several place I tests on multiple medications, we found the best one to which I was given. For years I have had the same psychiatrist in Santa. Barbara who also is actually quite famous as far as a specialist with ADHD and has been in practice for over 45 years. What was not only surprising, but appalling and extremely offensive was to be told that my dosage was way too high, and that my doctor was way out of line in prescribing that to me. Before being on this med, I bombed out of school (my parents were educators) went through job after job, and lived a chaotic life. Once I started taking it, I enrolled in college (I only had a GED) finished a four year degree in under three, was accepted to Law School, and ended up with the highest GPA in that Law School in 11years. Yes the doctor did not know a thing. This was stated by a person who has some piece of paper from some community college stating she was qualified to do what she was doing. i find it not only ridiculous, but very dangerous that a person with a two year, community college degree that has been working in this area for maybe all of five years, knows better and knows more than a Harvard Medical School grad who's earned a reputation world-wide, written four books on ADHD, and has been working in this field for 45 + years. Go see a real doctor that KNOWS what they are doing.

I attended this program from the end of 2016 untill the beginning of 2018. I attended for about a…read moreperiod of 16 or 18 months in total as I recall. Had monitored UAs through out. They never trusted me enough to stop monitoring me like they did with other clients. They said people with legal issues had that because courts often required it. I had no legal obligations to be at this center and was there completely voluntarily and therefore had no requirement to be monitored at all. But I wanted to keep attending so I let them monitor me throughout my entire stay there. So even with over a year and a half consecutive confirmed clean time- They denied me emdr therapy, time and time again while I saw my peers participating in that treatment and getting better. I was denied of it. Other people were considered stable and able to receive that therapy with as little as 60 days clean at times. The reasoning ashwood counselors gave me for why I was denied the therapy I needed to get better was that I was "unstable" for 2 reasons. 1- because I was stuck on step 3 in the 12 step based program because I hadn't been able to turn my will and my life over to something I was still desperately trying to gain understanding of. And 2- because my live in boyfriend smoked weed. Even though I had 18 months clean and was willing to continue staying clean despite my boyfriends choices. They made it clear as long as I stayed with him , I would be considered unstable , high risk for relapse, and wouldn't be allowed participate in the necessary therapy sessions I so desperately needed to heal from my past trauma. So unless your willing to turn your entire lives and your wills and dignity over to ashwood , I wouldn't attend here. I'd look someplace else guys. To be fair , I'd say they helped a lot of people. But only the clients they took a liking too. If you were someone different that didn't fit the profile they liked, you might be denied therapy and mistreated like I was.

For you and your children's sake, do not trust this woman to be a parental evaluator! Please look…read moreat the Google reviews, they are of her husband, not of Mary Hoffman! I went through a very difficult divorce from a narcissistic abusive man. He abused me continuously in front of our two teenage children. The abuse would sometimes last for three weeks at a time. My husband was actually teaching our two children an 18 year old girl and a 15 year old boy, to join in on the abuse. My daughter actually beat me up shortly after my husband told authorities that I was the aggressor! My then husband fabricated a restraining order, stating that I beat my daughter up, rather than her attacking me. I was bloodied and bruised, and my head was sore for a week after she was pounding on my head. I was married for 18 years, and I never remember a year that the abuse was so intense, as when our family moved to Boise! My ex-husband was relentless with his psychological, mental, and emotional torture that he was bringing to me. He made me work ten hours days, so he could stay home and not work at all. He would state to me after weeks of abuse that he is going to take our children away from me and I would never see them again, he was going to divorce me, and leave me with nothing. Are assets are worth over a million dollars. After stating these threats, my husband would isolate me for hours, which is considered one of the most extreme form of emotional abuse! Before he isolated me, he would state, that he wishes I would kill myself! I initially went to reunification therapy with a horrible counselor named Jennifer Ritter (She took $2000 from me), whom stated to my daughter that I was mentally ill, and she should not reunify with me. Please understand that this was a court ordered reunification counselor. In my desperation I spent $6000 with Mary Hoffman, a court ordered parental evaluator. What ever you do, do not waste your money! Jennifer Ritter and Mary Hoffman are so corrupt, and do not have any intention to help the non-abusive parent. Mary handed my children to an abusive father and husband. They witnessed so much abuse, they have a higher incidence of becoming abusive, or even worse they could become the abused! I am worried sick about my children, what is my ex-husband doing to them, does he hurt them physically or mentally? Mary Hoffman heard how I and my children were being abused, and there was even proof of the abuse. My husband would torture me for three weeks at a time, and at the end of the three weeks of ritualistic abuse, my husband would video tape me! Mary actually saw these tapes, and she still decided to give this monster full custody of our two gorgeous children to their sadistic father!!! Mary stated in her report that I needed intense EDMR trauma therapy, she actually admitted that my husband traumatized me! However, my husband that has full custody of our children, based on her very strange recommendations, did not have to have any therapy, or even anger management! That is when I found out Mary Hoffman is corrupt, she just steals desperate parent's money! Mary had absolutely no intention in helping a loving, worried-sick mother gain any custody of her two children. She seemed sweet so I would divulge my worst nightmares regarding my husband and our two children, it is a huge front, do not mistake her kindness, she is literally the devil in carnate! I had five collateral witnesses, whom directly witnessed Jeff abusing me, and all of them corroborated my statements! Yet Mary still took my children from me! I am so scared that I will never see them again, I cry hysterically for them, and my life will never be the same. Mary Hoffman traumatized me just as badly as my husband did! Mary also contacted my former counselor at Faces of Hope, which is a domestic violence agency! My counselor Dusti Huddleston, again corroborated that I went to Faces of Hope, because I was so badly being tortured by my husband! Mary Hoffman took my children from a loving, and attentive mother! Even trauma therapy can not change what Mary did to me and my abused children!

These guys are the best in the business. They are super friendly and incredibly effective at what…read morethey do. They have your back!

I showed up every month like I was supposed to for my appointment, the front desk (which is shared with another business) never took the time to let me know I have a balance. There was a lapse with my insurance and I owed $100 which I have/had no problem paying had I known. I understand their process is billing over mail, but you would think that they would take the time to let you know in person as well at my monthly appointments. I've referred so many people here before, but I won't anymore. Their strict policy once a $100 bill goes to collections, you can never be seen there again for the rest of your life is ridiculous. It shows they care more about money than people. To cut someone off when they're at their lowest is heartless. They made it clear that their priority was having documentation to prove they mailed letters, not actually making sure the person received them. That says everything about where their focus is on paperwork, business and money not the humans they serve. I see them often at networking events often promoting their business, and honestly, it's just a bunch of BS. The polished image they put out there doesn't match the way they actually treat people once you become a client. Never again would I recommend this clinic again to another human being again so many other places they can go where people will actually care to make something right. On another note Becky Bole was a great provider she is no longer at MAP and has her own practice I would check her out she's amazing
