I initially began seeing Dina to work on family issues that were negatively affecting my life. However, as our sessions progressed the skill set she taught me, the issues she helped me work through, and the revelations that then transpired not only transformed the relationship I have with my family but beyond my wildest dreams fundamentally and positively transformed my whole life. With the help of Dina, I have learned how to connect with, listen to, and follow my own wisdom. I have learned that my intuition knows exactly what it needs to know, when it needs and can know things in our ever changing and shifting world. I have learned how to really love, accept, and take care of myself. I have learned how to not only appreciate but take comfort in the unknowns in life that allow for flexibility and endless possibilities. I have referred countless friends to Dina, all of which sing very similar praises. Dina is exceptional.

What I can speak to are the few sessions I met with Dina for. In short, Dina is an incredible talent! In the first "getting to know you" session, Dina helped me uncover some serious points of contention I'd been harboring from my youth, through which I was allowing myself to keep my emotional breaks depressed. Later I had the great pleasure of meeting with her for a session with her husband, also an incredibly talented, insightful and capable therapist. Not all therapists/counsellors are created or developed equally....Dina gets my highest recommendation!

He had an incredible ability to understand and articulate each of our perspectives, often even better than we could. Through his guidance, we learned the framework of a healthy marriage and gained tools to approach difficult conversations in a constructive way. Even when sessions began with tension or discouragement, we consistently ended them feeling relief, connection, and hope. At one point, we felt completely deflated, but we kept pushing through with Bryan's tools guiding us. It's almost hard to believe where we are now compared to just five months ago. We've found renewed trust, respect, love and excitement for the potential of an even richer relationship ahead. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had Bryan's support during such a difficult time. His work has helped us come out stronger, able not to just get through it, but to truly thrive -- and that's something we all deserve. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryan to anyone at any stage of their relationship. If you're even considering it, take the next step -- you'll thank yourselves. I only wish we had found him sooner!

I have been to the Seattle residential treatment center twice now and am currently in their PHP…read moreprogram. I don't normally write reviews but seeing how many negative reviews there are I thought I would add my experience. I'll just be reviewing residential. The Emily Program has saved my life. The staff at the Seattle residential site (from EDTs, to therapists and dietitians, to the AMAZING nurses) are incredible. TEP is very gender and lgbtq+ inclusive; when introducing yourself you always say your name and pronouns and many of the staff themselves use they/them pronouns. The food is decent. You can have your phone on you at all times except during meals and groups (you either put it in your locker beforehand or, like most people, set it on the ground outside by the door). To me that was a huge perk of TEP vs anywhere else; I don't know why other treatment facilities need to take our phones away from us - we're adults. They follow the HAES/all foods fit model, and are exchange based. There are daily walks and yoga. There are six outside breaks to smoke. You can always smoke after lunch and dinner but have to eat breakfast and snacks in order to go outside for those breaks. This is one of my issues. First, there should be a smoke break at 6am, after weights are done. It's really hard for a smoker to wake up at 5:45 and wait two hours for a cigarette. There used to be a smoke break at 6 but they moved it to after breakfast. I don't understand why there can't be both? As a smoker already cutting way back and in a high stress environment, this was really frustrating. My other, and bigger, issue is the lack of seating and ability to find any quiet time for yourself. As an introvert this drove me mad. Rooms are locked after breakfast and unlocked at 7:15pm-ish to get ready for bed. There is one couch in the living room and it fills up quick. There is another couch in "the nook" but when you're level 2 (the starting level) you have to be in line of sight of an EDT and EDTs never go down to the nook to allow for level 2s to sit there. I think more of an effort needs to be made, like EDTs sitting in the nook without being asked, opening up the small group room when the living room is full, perhaps purchasing a small couch for the living room (could go by the door for kitchen supplies), or even allowing patients time in their room to decompress during the day. If you have sensory issues like I do this will be a problem for you. Thankfully the therapists are understanding and can make special allowances like allotted time in small group room or room, but I think TEP needs to be more proactive about this problem. All in all, I think TEP is a great program that saves many lives, mine included. I hope their EDTs are compensated well because they are the heartbeat of the program. I knocked off one star mostly for the lack of care for patients' needs for space, quiet, and even seating, but the morning break thing is also a frustration. But I would absolutely recommend TEP and truly believe they're a notch above similar programs. Edit: after seeing a review saying this program is not intensive, I decided to add a photo of the schedule (from October 2020 - they frequently make minor changes so it might not be up to date) so you can decide for yourself how intensive it is. On top of this you get pulled for therapy twice a week, and dietitian and psychiatry appointments once a week. I also realized this is for the PHP location lol so I'm going to copy and paste this review for the residential location.

I attended the adolescent PHP program for about 3 weeks earlier this year. I was severely…read moremalnourished but this was the only place I was able to get into due to insurance. During my intake, they sent me straight to the ER. When I came back they said that they wouldn't do anything for me but I could stay under their care until I got into a residential facility, even though they wouldn't help me?. The medical rooms are very small and one of the nurses was super new and had no idea what they were doing at the time. The staff were soso. Very few were nice, the main bht that worked with the adolescent unit was very sweet and the main nurse was very hard working and amazing. The other staff were, I feel, in it for the money and didn't fully give the emotional side recognition. While they say they do DBT and CBT and other kinds of therapy, they include maybe one session a day. The kids sit on their phones or do alternate activities/ don't pay attention. Sometimes the group leaders would give in and try to get them engage by playing games that don't have correlation with therapy. They only have two therapists for the adolescents and you are randomly assigned a therapist which gives you little to no room to be comfortable. My therapist, had an awful style of therapy. When she would call me in weekly, we would sit in silence and she would ask me if I had anything on my mind, me being the quiet kid that I am, usually would say nothing. When I did talk, she would just smile at me or give a nod. It was so awkward and honestly difficult for me. I already had a hard time with therapy so it drove me further from it. Once I opened up about I was losing hair from malnutrition and how I was (obviously) upset and she laughed at me and told me I knew what I needed to do. While she was right, you can't just say that to someone who is very mentally ill. They also let me get away with eating so little there, though I was on a small meal plan, they wouldn't try and boost me when I didn't eat. During meals, staff would also call out kids who were staring off or avoiding their food from across the table and ask them to talk about it to the group, which for me and probably others was triggering. Also It was embarrassing. They could've came up to you individually which would've been more comfortable and helpful. As far as food goes, they would primarily serve us processed packaged foods with little to no nutritional variety. Their dinners were okay, but only when they had catering. They used the term "all foods fit", which sure it could be true but not serving a variety and only feeding disordered kids processed foods is not healthy. Calories were out for everyone to see, meal plans were known, it was just a setup for failure. Overall, I would say if you need to go to treatment for an eating disorder, I would recommend the Eating Recovery Center, they have both PHP and Residential for both adults and adolescents not far in Bellevue. They are better structured, the staff are amazing, and they care. If the Emily program was better thought through and they had better staff that liked to interact with the kids, they would be highly improved.

A friend mentioned she was seeing a great therapist through MTG, so I decided to give it another chance. Evan was very friendly and professional with helping me schedule an appointment with a therapist and Nurse Practitioner.

He really took the time to get to know my history and symptoms. He's easy to talk to, and very helpful. Catherine (Cathy) Shea is the best therapist I've ever had.

I'm really excited about our ongoing weekly appointments, and it's so convenient having the appointments through Zoom.

Ethical concerns with billing errors and zero-notification fees…read more I am highly frustrated by the billing practices and lack of communication at Mindful Therapy Group. First, I was explicitly quoted a $0 co-pay. Based on that information, I attended weekly appointments for nearly two months. Suddenly, co-pays started being deducted from my account on file. When I called to investigate, I was told there was a co-pay after all, and I was being back-billed for multiple past appointments. While I understand that the co-pay amount itself may be determined by insurance, there is a serious ethical issue with charging and back-charging a client's card without any prior notification or statement. Because I was quoted zero, I had no reason to go looking for hidden statements in an online portal. Second, while I was away on vacation, I was scheduled for a time that I was not used to and unfortunately forgot the appointment. I received absolutely no notification, phone call, text, or email reminder on the day of the session. Despite the total lack of communication, they promptly charged my card a $180 no-show fee. The lack of transparency, hidden charges, and failure to send simple appointment reminders make this a highly stressful administrative experience. Therapist was fine
