Large, clean facility equipped with all the supplies you could need for therapy with Autism. Plenty of parking. Serves patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder from preschool age to adulthood. They also provide professional development training for school staff. This training is specific to each school district. Phone: (678)691-2206 Email: Intake@pathwaysbehavior.com My Experience I took C to the Sandy Springs location for ABA Therapy. This was C's first appointment so we got a tour of the facility. There are two levels with classrooms, assessment rooms, and play areas. Each classroom and play area is set up for a specific age group. After the tour we went into an assessment room where the therapist, Katie, asked both of us questions about C, then C went with a PCA for a session of peer support. There weren't any other kids C's age so two PCAs played peer roles to work on social skills. I answered questions with Katie and filled out a questionnaire about behaviors that C may exhibit. C had another hour of evaluation when I finished so I waited outside. C usually finishes therapy appointments mentally drained and ready to sleep but she enjoyed this session. The lighting soft and it was pretty quiet, so C wasn't set off by lights or sounds. Covid Precautions Masks are required and worn by all staff. Masks, hand sanitizer, and device wipes are available at the reception desk. I saw no one in the waiting area while going in or leaving so they may be staggering appointments to keep distance. Facility There are four locations: Marietta, Sandy Springs, McDonough, and Alpharetta (Johns Creek). This appointment was at the Sandy Springs location, which is pretty spacious. In the waiting area are some individual sofa seats, a tall table with four chairs, and a kid table. Just off the waiting room is a gender neutral bathroom with step stools, baby wipes, diaper disposal, gloves, and baby wipes. Patient bathrooms are closer to classrooms. There are a few classrooms set up by age or purpose. There's a teen room with video games, a preschool play area with a toddler slide, a gym area with mats and other toys, and a room where patients where patients work on social skills in group therapy. They have a kitchen where older patients work on life skills like preparing food. Only two handicap parking spaces but reserved spaces right at the front door, and more along the side of the building. There isn't much of a walk from wherever you park.

When we learned she would be transferred, I was nervous -- as any parent would be -- but then we met Dr. Chakra and his incredible assistant, Kaitlyn, and everything changed. Dr. Chakra is not only knowledgeable, but deeply compassionate. He truly sees my daughter, not just her diagnosis. He listens, he cares, and he treats her whole person -- her mind, her heart, and her future. After years of trying local doctors who rushed us in and out with quick prescriptions and no real answers, Amen Clinics felt like the first place that genuinely wanted to understand her. This journey hasn't been easy, but the growth we've seen over these seven years is nothing short of amazing. The progress my daughter has made has given us hope, peace, and a sense of stability we never thought we would have. If you're on the fence about coming here, don't be. It is worth every penny -- for your child, and for your peace of mind. We are forever grateful to Dr. Chakra, Kaitlyn, and the entire Amen Clinics team for changing our lives.

I am thoroughly impressed with the Atlanta Clinic's Doctors, their staff, and the care that they provide to their patients. This clinic goes above and beyond to from start to finish regarding their patient care and no stone is left unturned. Their treatment plans and after care appointments really provide an incredible full service package that helps put the patients on the path to better brain health and healing. I am so impressed with this clinic and will continue to refer patients over and over again!

She replied by simply saying she had cc'ed her office manager, who could answer my questions and schedule me for a session with Dr. Nassar. For anyone with intense daily anxiety, time is very important. We need help from the hell in our minds asap. Dr. Nassar seems to be another example of a, "pay me first and then I'll tell you if I can potentially help you" psychologist. With that mind set, those if us on the edge and needing help will just have to go through several first visits with several psychologist and tell our story and explain our symptoms several times and pay several hundreds of dollars in the meantime. And if you're like me, there are times you have laid in bed in the deepest of anxiety hells, contemplating pulling the trigger just to escape the intense fear in your head. The clock may be running out on people like you and me. We don't have time for psychologist that won't simply say, "yes, I've seen this before and I believe I can help. I'll have my office manager contact you." Hang in there. There are good psychologist out there. And we'll find them. I hope.

I assured him it was going to get better. I was wrong. We began working with Spectrum Analytic Consulting in Spring 2019. Our first BCBA was with us for about a week but never made it to our house. The second BCBA was very nice but inexperienced. She regularly saw my son and we had the first RBT. Around January our BCBA left to finish her BCBA classes. The second BCBA quit around February 2022. The second RBT seemed good and was with my son for about 3 months but then quit by text the morning he was supposed to come because of the distance to our house and he was stressed. After I complained he came back two more times for closure. RBT number three came three times and then we never heard from him again. I asked and was told that the distance was too far. At the end of April, I was happy that we got a third BCBA that had experience after such a long wait. We met the third BCBA once and she never saw my child again. We only heard from her by email or text after. The fifth RBT was good. And stayed through the summer. She said she would get back to us about our school year schedule and wanted to work with my son still, but we never heard from her again. At the end of August, the fourth BCBA left the company. We had previously discussed our back-to-school needs with this BCBA but I'm not sure if these discussions were relayed to the company. We got BCBA number Five and she came to our house Tuesday, August 23, 2022. In less than 10 minutes she told my husband she had to leave for a family emergency at her child's school. Thursday, I got an email from BCBA number 5 that she would not be able to serve my child. She sent a resource list. I'm very disappointed.

My child has had ABA in the past from an excellent company, but we had to change due to a move. I decided to hire Spectrum Analytic Consulting....big mistake! Their billing practices leaves much to question and seem shady. The owner, Melissa, claims they are allowed by the insurance company to charge for services (preparation work), and copays, even without seeing the client. I have never encountered this practice before. I cancelled their services after about two sessions and an assessment meeting. They charged me for a full year of billing services. When they agreed to charge half the amount, they sent a new bill listing new past dates on which they never saw my child, but again seemed to have billed the insurance company for preparations; as such I have additional copays. Do yourself a favor and stay away from them. Only a matter of time before insurance companies get wind of their billing "policies" and drop them.
